Resolve to Succeed

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years that matters.

Bonhoeffer on Boarding the Wrong Train

The problem for investors is that, as the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote,

“If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.”

(Bonhoeffer opposed Nazism and was executed in prison for his involvement in a plot to overthrow Hitler.)

走进五星级酒店
渡华丽假期
连人生也要当主角
成就冲天飞
淡薄里 三餐一宿
渡过生老病死
不如凭勇气
挺而走险
石破天惊你看得起

遗忘自己
成全自己
受过伤懂得怎戒备
甜蜜储起
仇恨至死
哪个猜心者不卑鄙
让我毫无余地
机关算尽
博全场赞美
却比不起
预计中欢喜
在我得到整个宇宙突然怀念你

走进这一出戏
回头没了期
慈祥嘴脸手执兵器
无十秒预备
就让我 衣冠楚楚
用我心去做戏
攻陷全世界
突然很想
对你讲一声对不起

遗忘自己
成全自己
受过伤懂得怎戒备
甜蜜储起
仇恨至死
哪个猜心者不卑鄙
但我无从逃避
机关算尽
发现唯有你
我舍不得
我也输不起
在我得到整个宇宙突然怀念你

The Sins of Three Nuns

There are three nuns and a Mother Superior. The Mother Superior tells the three nuns that before they can receive their Saint name they had one final test. She told them to go commit one sin so that they would not have urges to be bad.

After the three nuns return, the Mother Superior says, "Did you commit your sins?" They all shake their heads yes. The first two nuns are crying, the third is giggling. The Mother Superior says to the first one, "What sin did you commit child?"

The first nun answers with tears in her eyes. "I was just rotten, I picked flowers from someone's garden." The Mother Superior says, "Go drink the Holy Water and it will be alright." The third nun is dancing around in laughter.

The Mother Superior asks the second one. Her whole body is shaking and she is crying. "I stole candy from a baby." The Mother Superior says, "My child, drink the Holy Water and you are forgiven. The third nun falls on the floor hysterically laughing.

The Mother Superior is disgusted and asks, "What are you laughing at?" The third nun is barely able to answer through her tears of laughter, "I peed in the Holy Water."

In Whose Hands?

My life in my own hands is a pain and a problem.
My life in God's Hands is a possibility and power!

A Series of Reflections Leading to Mother's Day II

WHEN YOU WERE IN THOSE ADOLESCENT YEARS
When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming.
You thanked her by telling her she had no taste.
When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp.
You thanked her by forgetting to write a single letter.
When you were 15, she came home from work, looking for a hug.
You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked.
When you were 16, she taught you how to driver her car.
You thanked her by taking it every chance you could.
When you were 17, she was expecting an important call.
You thanked her by being on the phone all night.
When you were 18, she cried at your high school graduation.
You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn.
