A Story about Two Camels A baby camel asked its mother: - Why do camel ourselves have hump, mommy? - Ah, we are desert animals so humps help us save water, replied mother camel. - Then, why are our legs so long, mommy? - They are the best means to move on desert, my loved baby. - So why are our eyelashes so long, sometimes they touch on my eyes, really itchy. - Baby, our eyelashes are long to keep our eyes far from wind and sand of desert. - Well, I get it, hump to save water, long legs to go, long eyelashes to guard. Can I ask one more question? - Alright, keep asking, my loved baby. - What are we doing at the zoo, mommy???? Lesson 1: Potential The poor baby camel has lived at misplace. Though, there are so many different potentials, all of them become useless because there's no chance for them to "burst open". If still living at the zoo, those potentials will be eroded until to be destroyed. There's one way that: Enlarge your secure area to discover your right potential. Lesson 2: Psychological Barriers The cage at the zoo has "obstructed" all sides and let the camel no free to live with all of its essences. Human ourselves have also cages enclosed around us. They are right "psychological barriers". Let see what self-barriers we have made by ourselves: - Barrier 1: Shyness - Barrier 2: Laziness - Barrier 3: Self-suggest that "I can't!" - Barrier 4: Being complacent about temporary achievement. They are stable walls which press your shoulders down heavily, make us not able to grow up and develop. And you, what is your current "barrier"?

Three pairs of eyes are all lit up. One child says: “I haven’t been eaten anything from morning till now, if I don’t earn money today, I will starve”. Another says: “my home has run out of food for three days, my mother is sick, I have to buy food for the whole family tonight, if not I will be beaten…”.

LESSON FROM SEA One day, Lao Tzu gathered disciples and asked: - According to you why is sea so great? One disciple answered: Sea is great because sea is wide and immense so there is nothing big comparable. Another disciple answered: Sea is great because of its color - jade green there's only one on the world, nothing's beautiful comparable. Another disciple said more: Sea is great because sea has strength to sweep away everything. After lisenting, he smiled and replied: Sea is greatest at the point that dares to put itself at the lowest place, where thousands of rivers high above pour out sea. So in life, the greatest person is the one knows putting oneself lower than other a degree.. Great person is the one dare to think that he's lower than others to listen and learn from them. Modest will be the key leads you to success. "Endure a word, peaceful wave, calm sea Back a step, immense wind, high sky" Tram

LESSON FROM CHE "Let the world change you then you will change the world" - Che Once upon a time, there's a King ruling a prosperity country. Once, the King went about incognito to remote areas in his kingdom. When the King came back to royal palace, he complained that his feet were very hurt because this was the first time he took that long trip, more on that the road was rough and full of rock. Then the King required subjects spread leather every road in the whole kingdom. For doing this, it definitely needs thousands of cow-hide sets, and it has to consume a tremendous amount of money. Later, a wise courtier with all his courage spoke to the King: " Why does Your Majesty have to spend an unnecessary amount of money? Why doesn't Your Majesty cut a leather piece just small enough to cover up your feet?" The King surprised, but he agreed with the suggestion later, and made a "pair of shoes" for him. This story is a real valuable lesson in life: To make this world to be a happy place to live, you'd beter change yourself - your heart, rather than the world. When we change our heart, the world will change. Tram

Practice everyday, fluent someday Road's though long or short. No go, no come. So, to be good at something, you have to practice regularly. They say "Before success is failure/mistakes". And success will hide deep...deeply before you show enough mistakes. If you do nothing, you will give no chance to show mistakes. And success will hide forever from you.
