Inspiration?!

I encountered 3 stories in a day, pertaining to philosophy of human beings.

The very first one, it was from The Star newspaper's pullout. A small little boy, at the age of 6, was with pancreatoblastoma and he was told that he could only survive for a year, or maybe 5 among the handful of rare cases. The little boy, never stopped believing that it was like other sickness, for instance, flu or fever, that would recover soon right after it. Before going into the operation theatre, the boy went before the status of Jesus in the foyer of John Hopkins hospital. He put a small notes on it, written, ' This is Grayson. Please heal other kids.' This simple little notes made the newspaper readers in tear when the journalist discovered it. Miraculously, the boy is now 19! Even though he's suffering from many other disease, he never gave up on his cheerful smile and doing a fund-raising for the hospital for the children like him! That's why, sometimes, we should not be so selfish, only thinking of ourselves. Try to think for others, share your love, your everything. You may be losing something, but in other way, you may gain something invaluable!

The second one, it was a story from the radio. A king, who had a buffalo hump, didn't really feel satisfied with his abnormal figure. He didn't want people to take photo of him. Soon, he became very pessimistic. One day, there came an artist and would like to offer to draw the king a portrait. The king complained that he didn't have a good outlook and refused so. However, he was then convinced by the artist that he would draw him a portrait of how the king was supposedly looked like. The king with a perfect outfit and figure in the portrait. He hung it in the majestic hall and he would look at it every day, thinking that he would be looked that way. As time went by, the King became optimistic and was unconscious over the vanishing of his hump! He looked exactly the same as the one in the portrait! In the nutshell, if we have faith and beliefs in ourselves, nothing is impossible. Just having to step out for the very first step!

Last but not least, I got this story from a close friend of mine. I was told that he's a vegetarian. The past he encountered didn't really sound great compared to others. However, he never gave up in doing charity and being happy of his life. I just got to know that the single-mother's son, had a few adopted younger siblings. His family let them to stay in their house for already so many years and my friend treated them like his biological siblings! I could see now he was blessed for something, maybe he realised that though. Yes, something may be not so successful, but others are going smoothly. I hope that as time goes by, he would get better and better. I pray hard for God that He would take good care of him. If possible, I would take care of him in the future for his good deeds because I love this friend so much! He had been my one of the best companions ever.
