How to live

Recently, I realized that “Life is short” and I have no idea how much longer I have on this planet. So I asked myself if I knew that I was going to die tomorrow, what would I do today? And of course, being a mom, I would write a letter to my daughter, Devi. So…the letter would go as follows... Hey Devi, I want you to know that even though I may have experienced many more years on this planet than you, it doesn't mean that I have more knowledge than you so I won’t give you any advice. What I want to share here is how I observe my life and I would suggest that you do the same as you are trying to live as a human being. When I was little I often only had white rice with soy source for breakfast. According to society, I was poor ……but at that time I didn’t know about society yet …so I was living happily.:) When I was growing up, I was given a taste for drugs. As the drugs would penetrate my body, I became addicted. I cried out for the drugs to the point that to be without them I would ...

Devi: Mom, I am so happy. Me: Oh Why are you happy? This is the conversation that I had with my 3-year-old daughter. She told me again a few days later that she was happy.

We were stuck in a terrible traffic jam. I was frustrated and started to worry about its cancellation. When I glanced at my daughter, she gave me a big smile. The other day, I bought tickets to the zoo for my whole family. When the day finally came, it was raining. The moment I saw the rain, I was mad. My whole plan was destroyed. But my daughter, on the other hand, the moment she saw the rain, she was unbelievably happy and started to si...

Today I am going to talk about the weirdest man on earth that I married. About a decade ago, my husband read something like this “If you want to be successful, you need to get up early in the morning.''. He took that advice seriously because he REALLY wanted to be successful and he made a commitment to get up early from that day onward. His success was important to me too. When I was a young woman I really wanted to find a successful MAN!. I couldn’t find a man who was ALREADY successful, but my husband WANTED to be successful so I decided--- I will TAKE! what I can get. He has tried many approaches throughout the years to force himself to get up early. With various degrees of success, for example: Method number 1: He bought an alarm clock and set multiple alarms - one after another. It worked for a while. Then, he started doing what most of us would do. He hit the snooze button and went back to sleep. Method number 2. This time, he placed the alarm clock far away from his bed...
