Motivational stories for life

A teacher was dying, but still was cheerful and kind. Students were gathering around his deathbed. 
- Ask. While I’m still here, I can help you somehow.
And he was showered with questions… The teacher listened to them and started crying.
- You ruined my feast, dear ones! Now I see that I was a bad mentor… Fine, I will try to fix it in the last minutes of my life.
And he said the following:
- Every morning I would wake up with a smile on my face. I would meet the day, as though it was the first and the last day of my life and I would accept everything it offered me with gratitude. I was happy for every meeting with you, as though it was the first and the last meeting, and every time you would open to me as a new world. I would pray as though it was my first and last prayer that God will hear from me – it was necessary not to forget anything or anyone. I would work with pleasure and to exhaustion, as though I would never have to work again. I would look with a smile of admiration at every creation of God, as though I saw them the first and the last time. I always lived for that one day: I had to live it right, as though it was the only day of my life. I longed for the meeting with the Creator so much that I did everything so I would be worthy of meeting Him. Looking back at my Way, I look for mistakes – but I can’t find them. 
Now it’s your turn to look.

Don't Defer Your Dreams




Now is the time to act, even if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you have a dream, a plan, or even just a stupid idea , get it in process today.
“So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don’t sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we’ve satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.”
–Lee Iacocca
It has taken me to the half-way point of my life to realize that this is my life. There are already too many regrets for half-baked ideas that got stale and were thrown out, for grand ideas that were put off because of fear and doubt.
Plan and save for the future? Yes, that’s a very smart thing to do. Save our dreams and ideas for the future? No, that’s a terrible idea. The Deferred Life Plan is not what you’re looking for.
The only constant in life is change. By the time you are old enough to retire, you may not have the health to enjoy it or you may have a reversal of fortune. Don’t spend money you don’t have, but don’t put off living until your sixties either. Find joy in the journey.
Find that dream that nags at you even when you try to ignore it, and do just one thing to bring it about. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Just take that first step, but do it today.

Stay Beautiful

Adam's eyes are like a jungle

He smiles, it's like the radio

He whispers songs into my window

In words that nobody knows

There's pretty girls on every corner

That watch him as he's walking home

Saying, does he know

Will you ever know?

You're beautiful, every little piece, love

Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone

Ask anyone

And when you find everything you looked for

I hope your life leads you back to my door

Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful

Adam finds another way to be

The highlight of my day

I'm taking pictures with my mind

So I can save 'em for a rainy day

It's hard to make a conversation

When he's taking my breath away

I should say

'Hey, by the way'

You're beautiful, every little piece, love

Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone

Ask anyone

And when you find everything you looked for

I hope your life leads you back to my door

Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful

If you and I are a story

That never gets told

If what you are is a daydream

I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know

You're beautiful, every little piece, love

Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone

Ask anyone

And when you find everything you looked for

I hope your life leads you back to my front door

Oh, but if it don't

Will you stay beautiful

A beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful

A beautiful, beautiful?

Oh, but if it don't

Stay beautiful

You Don't Have To Call Me

You don't have to call me

And say you're sorry

I'm already gone

You don't have to call me

And break my heart

Each time I try moving on, oh

You don't have to call, Anymore

You don't have to call  me baby

and say you're sorry

I'm already gone

You don't have to call me

And break my heart

Each time i try moving on

You don't have to call, Anymore

I'm Only Me When I'm With You

Friday night beneath the stars

In a field behind your yard

You and I are painting pictures in the sky

And sometimes we don't say a thing

Just listen to the crickets sing

Everything I need is right here by my side

And I know everything about you

I don't wanna live without you

I'm only up when you're not down

Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground

It's like no matter what I do

Well, you drive me crazy half the time

The other half I'm only trying

To let you know that what I feel is true

And I'm only me when I'm with you

Just a small town boy and girl

Living in the crazy world

Trying to figure out what is and isn't true

And I don't try to hide my tears

The secrets, or my deepest fears

Through it all nobody gets me like you do

And you know everything about me

You say that you can't live without me

I'm only up when you're not down

Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground

It's like no matter what I do

Well, you drive me crazy half the time

The other half I'm only trying

To let you know that what I feel is true

And I'm only me when I'm with you

When Im with anybody else

Its so hard to be myself

And only you can tell

That I'm only up when you're not down

Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground

It's like no matter what I do

Well, you drive me crazy half the time

The other half I'm only trying

To let you know that what I feel is true

And Im only me

Who I wanna be

Well, Im only me when Im with you

This is for you my butterfly yang tak berapa nak fly

The lies are always better left unsaid

So take the photos down of the wall

There's nothing left to talk about

We're in a plane and I want out

From all these stories that people tell

Thinking back I regret never telling you how I felt

I guess it feels worse 

Thinking back I regret never telling you how I felt

I guess it feels worse

When you have to pretend you lose the person that you were in life

When you're trying to fix, you never feel ecstatic and alive

Well Alright, Tonight is our last night.

Now you know exactly how I feel

The truth is out and I can see what's real

There's nothing left to talk about

We're in a scene and I want out

From all these stories that people tell

Thinking back I regret never telling you how I felt

I guess it feels worse

Thinking back I regret never telling you how I felt

I guess it feels worse

When you have to pretend you lose the person that you were in life

When you're trying to fix, you never feel ecstatic and alive

Well Alright, Tonight is our last night.
.
Tonight is our last night alone dear

When you have to pretend you lose the person that you were in life

When you're trying to fix, you never feel ecstatic and alive

Well Alright, Tonight is our last night.

Tonight is our last night
