The Voice

The Voice





From the very beginning, the gal's family objected strongly on her dating this guy saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the gal would have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him. Due to family pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though the gal loved the guy deeply, she always asked him, "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy was not good with words, this caused the gal to be very upset. With that & the pressure from her family, the gal would vent her anger on him. As for him.. he endured it in silence.



After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the gal, "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow it, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?" The gal agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged. The gal went out to work, while the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love thru emails & phone calls. Though it was hard, they never gave up.



One day, while the gal was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice....The doctors says that the impact on her brain had caused her to loose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During her stay in the hospital, it was only her silent cry that accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seemed to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She did not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she did not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent hundreds of letters, and made countless phone calls.. but all the gal could do was cry....Her parents decided to move away, hoping that she would eventually forget everything & be happy. With a new environment, the gal learnt sign language & started a new life, telling herself everyday that she must forget him.



One day, her friend came & told her that he came looking for her. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him. A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The gal was shattered.



When she open the letter, she saw her name on it instead. When she was about to ask her friend what's going on, the guy appeared in front of her. He used sign language telling her "I've spent a year learning sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You." With that, he slipped the ring back onto her finger.

APJ Abdul Kalam : 'A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failure'

APJ Abdul Kalam : 'A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failure' IndiaKnowledge@Wharton: Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure? Kalam: Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal. By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control c...

Search for Life

Search for Life Between two end points called birth and death, is a span we call life. But in reality, this span forms only a small fraction of our life. The totality of life is hidden beyond the points we call birth and death. Due to ignorance we take this small portion of life before us to be the whole of life. But it is not so. This life is like an iceberg apparently floating on the surface of an ocean. A very small portion of this huge icy rock is visible to the eye. A far greater portion is concealed beneath the surface. From a distance it appears as if small piece of ice were floating on the surface; but a close and careful examination reveals that it is only a fraction of the whole. This small portion is the manifested and exposed portion. By far the greatest portion of the iceberg is hidden in the depths of the unknown. It is exactly the same with our life. Between birth and death there is only a very small known and manifested fraction of the totality of life. An infinitely la...

The way of the Buddha

Image
The way of the Buddha God laws are eternal and unalterable and not separable from God Himself It is an indispensable condition of His very perfection. Hence there is great confusion that the Buddha disbelieved in God and simply believed in the moral law. Because of this confusion about God Himself arose the confusion about the proper understanding of the great word Nirvana. Nirvana is undoubtedly not utter extinction. So far as I understand the central fact of the Buddha’s life, Nirvana is utter extinction of all that is base in us, all that is vicious in us, and all that is corrupt and corruptible in us. Nirvana is not like the black dead peace of the grave, but the living peace, the living happiness of a soul which is conscious of itself and conscious of having found its own abode in the heart of the Eternal... Gautama taught the world to treat even the lowest creatures as equal to himself. He held the life of even the crawling creatures of the earth to be as precious as his own. It ...
