The following is a passage from a A3 sized poster on the back of my office wall that i never really took notice. But as God(to those who believe) is such a life teaser... things tend to present itself when u need it most. And so here it is...
" Here is a quote from Mencius, one that I think is very relevant in these hard times..
'Heaven, when it is about to place a great burden on a man, always first tests his resolution, exhausts his frame and makes him suffer starvation and hardship, frustrates his efforts so as to shake him from his mental lassitude, toughen his nature, and make good his deficiencies.
Confucianism. Mencius VI.B.15
Only then do we realize that anxiety and distress lead to life and that ease and comfort end in death."
Don't really get the meaning in the end part... i guess what it says is... suffering IS the learn process. Only through struggling can we perfect ourselves for it is tat process that we learn who we are and what we are capable of in times of need.
Hmm... no wonder...the immortals in Highlander series scream in agony while they try fitting the other guy's soul into his own. May it pay off soon....

'Kemalangan Jalan Raya pada Musim Perayaan'
(Road accidents during the Festive season)
Pada Musim Perayaan, banyak kemalangan berlaku setiap tahun. Ini kerana manusia-manusia yang merai perayaan mereka untuk mendapat angpow.
(During the festive season, a lot of accidents happen every year. This is because humans celebrate their festivals to get 'angpow'.)
Di atas jalan raya banyak bangsa mati katak seperti katak di atas jalan raya besar. Ini berlaku juga kerana mereka mahu balik ke kampung dengan cepat.
(On the roads, many races die like frogs on the highway. This is because they want to return to their hometown quickly.)
Pada hari perayaan hindu, orang seperti (friend's name)mati cepat untuk mendapat angpow dan tambicik.
(During the Hindu festival, people like (indianfriend's name) die quickly to get 'angpow' and 'tambicik'.)
Pada hari perayaan Cina, banyak apek dan nyonya mati kerana untuk makan babi goreng dan membakar mercun untuk menghalau hantu dan membunuh diri.
(During the Chinese festival, lots of Apeks and nyonya die because to eat fried pig and burn fire crackers to chase away the ghosts dan suicide.)
Hari Krismas banyak mat Salleh mati kerana berlumba ke pub untuk enjoy dan minum arak sampai mabuk hingga naik motor seperti rempit dan putus kepala dan hilang otak.
(CHirstmas day manyak mat Sallehs die because of racing to the pubs to enjoy and drink till they are drunk until they drive like 'rempits' and break their necks and lose their brains.)
Pada hari raya, orang melayu yang makan ketupat dan rendang semasa memandu hingga tercekik mati dan seluruh kereta summersault.
(On Hari Raya, the malays who eat 'ketupat' and 'rendang' while driving till they die choking causing the whole car to summersault'.)
