The Most Important Person In Your Life


This story happened in one American university.

When a lecture was over, the professor suggested a simple game to play and asked for a volunteer among his students.

One woman stood out.
The prof asked her, ?Please list out at the board the name of 20 peoples who are important to you.?

So, the woman did as what the prof had requested. Among the list were her family members, neighbors, colleagues, and friends.

The prof said, ? Now, circle out the name of people who are the most not important to you.?

She circled out one of her neighbor?s name.

Then, the prof said, ?Please circle out another one.?

She circled out one of her colleague?s name.

Again, the prof said, ?Circle out another one.?

She did.
????.


Finally, at the board was left with 4 names; her parents, her husband, and her daughter.
The whole class was very quiet. Students were staring at the prof, feeling that this game was no more a simple game.

The prof spoke out, ? Please again circle out one of the list.?
After some moments, she circled out her parents and had two names left; her husband and her daughter.
?Please circle out another one.?
She stared blankly out of the window. Silence was overwhelming the class for seconds.
She reluctantly circled out her son and cried out.

After she calmed down, the prof asked her, ?People who are most close to you should be your parents and your daughter, because parents are the ones who bring you up and your daughter is your own flesh and blood. Your husband, you may find another one again. Yet, why did you choose your husband?

Guess what was her answer? If you were her with the 4 names left, what would you do?


Her answer:

?Considering on time, my parents will be the first to leave me. My daughter, when grown up and married, will leave me too. But my husband is the only one who would accompany me throughout my entire life mostly.?


What do you think?

As for me, I am not going to tick out any of the 4 names left. They are the most important persons in my life.

Well... that is the answer or thought for a woman. Maybe for men are different?

For me, I will include my own name in there, but unfortunately i will definitely leave my wife's name at last. Reason is the same as that woman, but I am a little bit weird, I don't plan to have children, so I won't put any kid's name there...

Considering on time, my parents will be the first to leave me. My daughter, when grown up and married, will leave me too. But my husband is the only one who would accompany me throughout my entire life mostly.?

Mmm, I agree with her. It's really in a difficult situation to opt among the four. Of course, I did tell my parents something funny, I said: " I don't want to get married, I want to serve you two and stay with you two." My parents laughed and told me, "Don't be silly, of course you're filial and we love you. But we will be happier for you if you can find someone truly loves you and can take care of you. We'll leave you one day, and you still have much more time to live and accomplish many things in your life." In fact, I really love my family so much that, I can't imagine if one day any of the elderly would have to leave me, albeit I know it'll happen eventually.
The woman stated in the article crossed out the daughter. Yea, it's true that her daughter will leave her and get married. Hence, in the end, the only left one, who will stay with the woman for the rest of her life will be the husband. That's why I think it's very crucial when one decides to spend his/her life with the opposite sex. Once the wrong decision, you might regret for the rest of your life. Although there are things beyond our control and prediction, yet we still have to try to achieve the best, select the optimum condition that favor us, unless you don't mind to suffer for the rest of your life. Human only live once, life is short, if you don't make it better for yourself, who else will care to strive for you?
Just my two cents. :wink:

Have a blessed MOTHER'S DAY!

M-O-T-H-E-R

I've been around the world, you bet, but never went to school
Hard knocks are all I seem to get, perhaps I've been a fool;
But still, some educated folks, supposed to be so swell,
Would fail if they were called upon a simple word to spell.
Now if you'd like to put me to the test,
There's one dear name that I can spell the best!


"M" is for the million things she gave me
"O" means only that she's growing old
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me
"H" is for her heart of purest gold
"E" is for her eyes with love-light shining
"R" means right and right she'll always be
Put them all together they spell MOTHER,

a word that means the world to me.

When I was but a baby, long before I learned to walk,
While lying in my cradle, I would try my best to talk;
It wasn't long before I spoke and all the neighbors heard,
My folks were very proud of me for "Mother" was the word.
Although I'll never lay a claim to fame,
I'm satisfied that I can spell the name:

"M" is for the mercy she possesses
"O" means that I owe her all I own
"T" is for her tender, sweet caresses
"H" is for her hands that made a home
"E" means ev'rything she's done to help me
"R" means real and regular, you see
Put them all together they spell MOTHER,

a word that means the world to me.

Mummy

There's a lady who's special
with a soft gentle touch
and a beautiful face,
I love her so much.
I know that I'm special
and dear to her heart,
the time seems so little
that we spend apart.
Like a guardian angel
she's always around,
she sings special songs,
how I love the sound
of her voice as she
tenderly sings "I love you,"
you're the best mummy ever
and I love you too.
Mummy
I love you when you hold me close
and whisper in my ear,
or tell me fairytales at night
and chase away my fear.
We paint and play and laugh and sing
and go for little walks,
and when you tuck me into bed
we have our special talks.
"I love you to the moon and back,"
I tell you every night,
you tell me how much you love me
as you switch out the light.
If I could have a special wish
that I could make come true,
it would be that every girl and boy
had a mummy just like you

Really touching....

One fine day,an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer's
office.Apparently, they are there to file a divorce. Lawyer was very
puzzled, after havin a chat with them, he got their story....

This couple had been quarrelling all their 40 over yrs of marriage,
nothing
ever seems to go right.They hang on coz of their children, afraid that
it
might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already
grown
up, have their own family, there's nothing else the old couple have to
worry
about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from
all these yrs of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a
divorce....

Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, coz he
felt
that after 40 yrs of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn't understand
why
the old couple would still wants a divorce...while they were signing
the
papers, the wife told the husband.."I really love u, but I really cant
carry
on anymore,I'm sorry.." "its o.k, I understand.." said the husband.

Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of
them,wife
thought, why not, since they are still gonna be friends..

At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness. The first dish
was
roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick for the
old
lady.."take this, its your favourite.." looking at this, the lawyer
thought
maybe there's still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she
answer.."
this is always the problem, u always think so highly of urself, never
thought about how I feel, dont u know that I hate drumsticks?"

Little did she know that, over the yrs, the husband have been trying
all
ways to please her,little did she know that drumsticks was the
husband's
favourite.Little did he know that she never thought he understand her
at
all,little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he
wants is
the best for her.

That night, both of them couldn't sleep, toss and turn, toss and
turn...after hours, the old man couldn't take it anymore, he knows that
he
still loves her, and he cant carry on life without her, he wants her
back,
he wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her"I love u"...

He picks up the phone, starting dialling her number....ringing never
stops..he never stop dialling....

On the other side,she was sad, she couldn't understand how come after
all
these yrs, he still doesn't understand her at all,she loves him a lot,
but
she just can't take it anymore....phone's ringing, she refuses to
answer,
knowing that its him..."wats the point of talking now that its over...I
have
ask for it and now I wanna keep it this way, if not I will lose
face.."she thought...still ringing...she have decided to pull out the
cord...

Little did she remember, he have heart problems...

The next day, she received news that he had passed away...she rushed
down to
his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the
phone...he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get thru her
phone
line....

As sad as she could be, after the burial...she will have to clear his
belongings...when she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this
insurance
policy, dated from the day they got married, beneficiary of course is
her...together in that file, there's this note... "to my dearest wife,
by
the time you are reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought
this
policy for you, though the amount is only $100,000, I hope it will be
able
to help me continue my promise that I have made when we got married,I
might
not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking
care
of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer..I want
you to
know I will always be around, by your side...I love u"

Tears flowed like river......

When you love someone, let them know... you never know what will happen
the
next minute....
talk...
listen....
learn to build a life together..
learn to love each other..
for who they are..
not what they are..."

Here's a very touching love story...

My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him
for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling
when I lean against his broad shoulders.

Three years of courtship and now, two years into
marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting
tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before,
has now transformed into the cause of all my
restlessness. I am a sentimental woman and
extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship
and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments,
like a little girl yearning for candy.

My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of
sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic
moments into our marriage has disheartened me about
love.

One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision,
that I wanted a divorce. "Why?" he asked, shocked.
"I am tired,there are no reasons for everything in
the world!" I answered.

He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep
thought with a lighted cigarette at all times. My
feeling of disappointment only increased, here was
a man who can't even express his predicament, what
else can I hope from him? And finally he asked
me:" What can I do to change your mind?" Somebody
said it right, it's hard to change a person's p
ersonality, and I guess, I have started losing
faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered :
"Here is the question, if you can answer and
convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let's
say,I want a flower located on the face of a
mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking
the flower will cause your death, will you do it
for me?"

He said :" I will give you your answer tomorrow...."
My hopes just sank by listening to his response.
I wokeup the next morning to find him gone, and
saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting,
underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near
the front door, that goes....My dear,"I would not
pick that flower for you, but please allow me to
explain the reasons further.."

This first line was already breaking my heart. I
continued reading."When you use the computer you
always mess up the Software programs,and you cry
in front of the screen, I have to saved my fingers
so that I can help to restore the programs.

You always leave the house keys behind, thus I
have to save my legs to rush home to open the door
for you.

You love traveling but always lose your way in a new
city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way. You
always have the cramps whenever your "good friend"
approaches every month, I have to save my palms so
that I can calm the cramps in your tummy. You like
to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be
infected by infantile autism. I have to save my
mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your
boredom. You always stare at the computer, and that
will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save
my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to
clip your nails,and help to remove those annoying
white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while
strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine
and the beautiful sand... and tell you the colour of
flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young
face...Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is
someone who loves you more than I do... I could not
pick that flower yet, and die.. "

My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of
his handwriting...and as I conntinue on reading...
"Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if
you are satisfied, please open the front door for
I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread
and fresh milk...I rush to pull open the door, and
saw his anxiousface, clutching tightly with his
hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread.... Now
I am very sure that no one will ever love me as
much as he does,and I have decided to leave the
flower alone...

That's life, and love. When one is surrounded by
love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one
tends to ignore the true love that lies in between
the peace and dullness. Love shows up in all forms,
even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been
a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.. .
flowers,and romantic moments are only used and appear
on the surface of the relationship. Under all this,
the pillar of true love stands...and that's our life...
Love, not words win arguments.
