chris daughtry what about now

cool song. got message. let's listen to it






What About Now lyrics

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

sheryl leach the creator of barney



Quote: 'Necessity is the mother of invention'



19 years ago, Sheryl created this children icon out of her needs to keep her son entertain and since than there was not much of choices to pick from, her son had become reason Barney is around today.

as what all human being do, obstacles in life comes and goes. the most unimaginable that could happen had happened. her son had a seizure and was diagnosed of having a brain tumor. as a mother, all question pops up in her mind. 'what's going to happen to him, how's he going to handle this emotionally, and all others concern how his future would turn out to be'

she had new insight after reading this book. The power of now by Eckhart Tolle. in the book its message" all fears comes from living in the past or the future, which are both in our minds-in reality, it is always now. as long as we stay with the Now, we have peace. knowing this, we can choose peace at any moment."


sheryl came across this

' emotions come and go, but we are not those emotions, they just pass through us. at any moment, we can choose to participate in fear and doubt, or we can turn to the now and find peace. than from that place of peace, we can continue forward to deal with the situations at hand. our life situation maybe the same, but we can alter our response to it'

selamat hari MERDEKA ke 52


SELAMAT HARI KEMERDEKAAN YANG KE 52



SEMOGA NEGARA KITA TERUS AMAN DAN BERSATU PADU DAN SENTIASA DI RAHMATI ALLAH.

GO 1 MALAYSIA
MERDEKA!

chellie campbell; the wealthy spirit

i came across her when i read the you've got to read this book. who is chellie? a former bookkeeper & musical comedy actress whom has created the popular financial stress reduction workshop. it teaches you on managing your financial .



but the most interesting thing here is, chellie coach the coaches to teach on her principles. it is disseminated around the US without the need of her to be there. that's pretty cool.

  • Are you someone that others always call for good advice?
  • Do you enjoy meeting new people and making new friends?
  • Do you enjoy teaching, counseling, training, speaking, or coaching?
  • Would you like to work for yourself doing work you love, making a great income, and helping others do the same?
this Q was asked. Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes.



as for chellie, she had gain something valuables in her life after she read this book.



'i couldn't believe what i was reading. page after page gave me explicit instructions on how to please myself before pleasing others. it said that i had the right to choose my own happiness first. that i could say no. and more importantly, that i had the right not to explain why i was saying no.'

this was all due to her boss than, whom was less than sensitive enough to care for the employee, very self absorbed and doesn't know how to behave, speak more than to acknowledge his subordinates. Mentally re***ded i would say. very familiar.

she read the book and the next time her boss yell at her, she was able to yell at him back. he never yelled at her again.

'Smiths' book said not to give your reasons for saying no, or the conversations would degenerate into an argument over the validity of your reasons. i just said no.'

so people learn to say NO

lisa nichols " no matter what " achieve your dreams

lisa a motivational speaker, personal coach and founder of Motivating the Teen Spirit. She has been recognized wt several awards for her dedication to bettering the lives of teens - and adults.



No Matter What: Lisa Nichols - Watch the best video clips here

http://www.lisa-nichols.com/Home.asp

lisa had a normal decent job and was good at it in her early twenties but she felt that she needed to be doing something more. searching for her purpose , her passion for who she wanted to be in this world.

she came accross the book by Stephen Covey, 7 habits of Highly Effective People


a part of the book had us to meditate. imagining we are in a funeral and it was our own. What would they say at our own funeral. how do they remember us by, what kind of person are we. he said " begin with the end in mind".

" i realized in my heart that i wasn't living the way I wanted to be remembered"

" the other things that struck me was that there are so many things i still wanted to do. like be with other people - like sit with my mom and paint her toenail or laugh hysterically with my dad until both our stomachs hurt. i wanted them to have those memories, but i was too busy for those kinds of things at the time"

" i think the most important things that the book has given me was the permission to write my own life. before i read the book, i hadn't let myself ' stand inside' the gift of speaking that God had given me. but i could tell that i had something special to give by the way people reacted to me when i spoke"

" in fact , every important decision i've mad since reading Covey's book has been based on that one question: How do I want to be remembered?"

I felt that we need to find our strength, our specialties and focus on it. make the most of the gift we have but be grounded. remember the people we have around us.

kita dilahirkan di muka bumi ini, semua ada tujuannya tersendiri. cari kekuatan diri. sumbangkan pada dunia. Insya Allah kita akan mati meninggalkan nama.

the inspiring jim maclaren


"Live each moment like it's the last moment in your life."
- Jim MacLaren



pics credit to : http://www.jimmaclaren.com/about.htm

i was mostly inspired by his life story when i caught on him in the book i've read "You've got to read this book" by Jack Canfield, the co creator of the chicken soup series and Gay Hendricks. Jim was a former football player survived a two nearly fatal accidents, first had caused him to lose a leg and had become a incomplete quadriplegic as a result from the second.

he had never given up and refuse to feel sorry for himself. after the first accident he made himself a top marathoner becoming the fastest one legged man in the world.
( tak semua orang begitu. kita mudah mengaku kalah dan walau kita sempurna, kita tak pernah bersyukur dan cuba mencapai potensi diri kita. orang yang kurang upaya macam Jim boleh ' push himself to achieve what he wants to do far more better than those unlike him , yang cukup pancainderanya )

and how bad can it be, he met with another accident. hit by a van when he was in the middle of a bicycle competition. it is a really difficult time for him, he is in constant pain of the condition he's in. that doesn't stop him still. he had become a motivational speaker and also a doctoral candidate.

he said he can easily become bitter and sorry for himself but he was able to redirect the fierce energy to do and accomplish when he got a book he read shortly after his 2nd accident as he struggled to rebuilt his life again. the passion of the western mind: understanding the ideas that has shaped our world view, by Richard Tarnas. Described as an explanation and discussion of western thought from greeks to the present. " I saw that human beings have been searching for life's meaning for a very long time"

he looks at the situation in a positives aspect. ( look at the glass as half full ). " now because of my physical limitations, i had the opportunity to focus deeply on the one thing in life that is worth doing"

he enroll in a writing workshop, went to a graduate school. " my body has been effectively taken away from me- in two installments- but my mind and heart were more than intact, and I used them to explore the depths of my own personality and being"

I am moved by this- " today it is enough to engage with another person, to meditate or write or speak or learn something, for me to feel good about the day. If I simply reflect on my life, the day, this moment, or the beautyof the sun that I am sitting in right now, I am satisfied"

"there are two things I do know: one, we can never know what our lives are going to look like, and two, as long as we accept what happens to us and move forward, we will always be okay. For I have no doubt that unless we fight it, we are always moving toward a better, more whole state of being "

on health; H1N1... Insya Allah...kita berusaha

So, I've got email from a friend on H1N1 case and how we could do to cure it... but it's all in the hands of Allah. Dia yang menentukannya.... so let's us try and leave the rest to Him. Insya Allah.

Subject: TIPS : Cara nak ubati H1N1 : just want to share..



JUST A SMALL BUT MEANINGFUL INFO FM ME TO YOU AND YR FRIENDS...MY
PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE OF H1N1 SINCE IT PRACTICALLY HIT US LIKE A TIME BOMB.....



My staff was crying herself sick on Tuesday morning...was told that her
son was
confirmed of H1N1 in his Uni at Kangar, Perlis...worse was that when he
was
bedridden 2 days the warden didnt even bother to sent to hospital till
his dad came
fm KL and with his friends assistance brought him to GH Kangar....



No one bothered in the hospital and he was put in the normal ward for
another 2
days!!! (imagine the amount of people he has infected!!) .....after 2
days and his
eyes were turning yellow and saliva greenish...he was put in
quarantined room...


Called his mom to say...minta maaf and ampun la dosa dia, etc...she
practically
fainted just telling me the story.. cant do much cos she x have enough
money to go
to the north with the father...



First thing we did was made her call the hospital and insist that they
sent him to
Sg.Buloh Hospital or any other hospital in KL since they seemed to be
more alert and
more equipt...they refused of course...so I sent her off to Kangar the
same day to
solve the problem.



Whilst this was happening, SUBHANALLAH, I had a call from one Ustaz who
was in town
to "help cure" another H1N1 child in Shah Alam....and was told this
simple
prescription by him.....of course kena redha pada ALLAH and niat dengan
sesungguh
nya...selawat 3x...



EAT MINIMUM 6 GREEN APPLES A DAY AND FRESH ORANGE JUICE

for those with sore throat please blend the apples and keep on taking
till your
fever disappear and yr symtoms are gone....I cannot explain it but the
child in Shah
Alam was ok too after taking this tip....



ALHAMDULILLAH...my staff's son was given the apple juice for the whole
day on
Monday/Tuesday and dengan kuasa ALLAH he was out of the fever yesterday

Wednesday....she called me and was crying on the phone to say that her
son was out
of ICU and was able to eat normally...all these happened within just 4
days today
(thursday 6 august)...



This is just to share with my fellow sisters and brothers and hope this
small info
could assist others as well, INSYA'ALLAH!!!!!!!!!! No harm in trying
and kuasa ALLAH
anything can happen!!!!



and don't forget to recite " salaamunqaulammirrabbirrahiim...28 x ( from surah yaasin; ayat 58 )

kita berusaha...Insya Allah

on entrepreneurship

kursus memborong?
hi ya!
tonite my hubby came back home from work. he showed me in utusan on line an article on

llmu borong barang dari China


Produk dari China semakin mendapat tempat di kalangan wanita tempatan kerana harganya yang lebih murah.


SIKAP ambil mudah perlu dikikis dalam diri setiap peniaga yang mengambil barangan jualan dari negara China kerana ia sebenarnya hanya melambatkan peluang untuk bergelar usahawan kaya dan berjaya.

Lazimnya pengusaha seperti ini memilih jalan singkat dengan menyerahkan wang kepada orang tengah yang meraih 'untung atas angin' sedangkan mereka sendiri boleh terus memborong di negara tersebut.

Tidak kurang juga yang membeli dari orang tengah kerana mereka sendiri tidak mempunyai pengetahuan bagaimana hendak menjalankan perniagaan bercorak import tersebut.

Jika pun dapat pergi ke China tetapi sudah tentu mereka akan mengetahui bagaimana cara yang betul untuk berurusan di negara orang itu.

Masalah kedai mana yang patut dituju, ditipu penjual, sesat di tempat baru, urusan penghantaran melalui kontena dan kastam, masalah mata wang dan sebagainya adalah punca mengapa ramai usahawan tempatan hanya sekadar mampu membeli dari orang tengah di negara ini.

Sebenarnya, anda belum terlewat untuk mengubah persepsi tersebut kerana unit Mega, dengan kerjasama pengendali kursus pemborong luar negara berpengalaman Anzac Consultancy akan menganjurkan kursus sehari pada 15 Ogos ini.

Penasihatnya, Shahabudeen Jalil Kamarul Jaman berkata, beliau terpanggil untuk mewujudkan bengkel ini selepas mengetahui ramai usahawan tidak mempunyai ilmu selengkapnya tentang cara memborong barang terus dari China atau Vietnam.

"Ada juga yang ditipu atau dipermainkan orang tengah semata-mata kerana mereka tidak mengetahui keadaan sebenar di negara barangan yang mereka import.

"Yang sering menjadi mangsa ialah usahawan kecil Bumiputera dan apabila mereka pilih salah saluran maka keuntungan akan terjejas, sedangkan mereka boleh mendapat keuntungan yang lebih baik.

"Kursus ini menjurus kepada ilmu borong di China kerana ketika ini negara tersebut menjadi tumpuan peniaga import disebabkan beberapa faktor. Antaranya, produk yang murah, kos buruh rendah dan barangan mentah mudah didapati dalam volum yang besar," jelasnya.

Shahabudeen berkata, dalam kursus sehari itu peserta akan diberitahu rahsia bagaimana usahawan boleh terus mendapatkan apa yang mereka inginkan dalam perniagaan.

"Kami akan memberitahu tentang cara urusan tiket perjalanan pergi balik dan ke mana hendak dituju setelah sampai di sana kelak.

"Di China terdapat banyak plaza dan tiga pusat pemborong utama sedunia ialah di daerah Guangzhou, Shenzen dan Yiwu. Setiap plaza menjual pelbagai kategori barangan dan peniaga boleh memilih mana-mana plaza yang berkaitan dengan perniagaan mereka tanpa perlu membuang masa," katanya.

Terdapat pelbagai jenis barangan boleh dibeli dari sana seperti barangan tekstil, aksesori perhiasan rumah, perabot dan sebagainya.

Shahabudeen mengakui idea mewujudkan kursus ini pada asasnya ialah untuk menggalakkan Bumiputera tidak kira lelaki atau mahupun wanita menjadi usahawan berjaya.

"Usahawan yang mengetahui jaringan yang betul di China boleh mendapatkan barang dengan murah, kemudiannya boleh terus pergi ke bahagian label, pembungkusan dan seterusnya membawa balik ke Malaysia untuk jualan atas nama syarikat mereka sendiri," ungkapnya.

Bagaimanapun, antara masalah yang sering dihadapi usahawan yang pergi ke China ini ialah untuk mendapatkan makanan yang halal, duit palsu dan komunikasi.

"Di sana naik teksi pun boleh mendatangkan masalah kalau kita sendiri tidak tahu ke mana hendak dituju. Jadi dalam kursus ini kami berikan alamat-alamat hotel, plaza, kilang dan sebagainya dalam dua bahasa iaitu Bahasa Melayu dan China.

"Dari segi urus niaga pembelian barangan pula, usahawan perlu mengambil inisiatif untuk mengira, memeriksa barangan yang dibungkus pemborong kerana sikap lewa anda akan membuatkan penjual mengurangkan jumlah barangan ataupun meletakkan pakaian yang tidak dipesan di dalam bungkusan.

"Pernah ada kes seorang peniaga pakaian wanita memesan blaus tangan panjang tetapi peniaga mencampurkan dengan blaus tangan pendek, jika ini berlaku segeralah minta mereka menukar secepat mungkin.

"Dari segi masalah komunikasi pula, jika anda mahukan penterjemah boleh diaturkan tetapi jangan bimbang kerana kebanyakan peniaga di sana juga semakin mahir berurusniaga dalam Bahasa Inggeris asas.

"Sekiranya anda masih berhadapan dengan masalah yang sukar diselesaikan sendiri, jangan khuatir kerana kami juga mempunyai wakil di sana," tambahnya.

Shahabudeen berkata, selesai pembelian, usahawan boleh memilih beberapa pilihan pengangkutan untuk membawa barang belian mereka ke Malaysia.

"Boleh pilih pengangkutan melalui udara atau laut tetapi disarankan menggunakan pengangkutan laut kerana ia lebih murah walaupun ia lambat sedikit.

"Jika ada usahawan yang membeli sedikit saja barang, jangan bimbang kerana kontena juga menyediakan ruang mengikut sekecil satu kubik per meter saiz barangan mereka.

"Sampai ke Malaysia, barangan perlu melalui prosedur kastam seperti biasa dan barangan akan dihantar terus ke premis perniagaan anda," ujarnya.

Selain urusan pembelian langsung, dalam kursus tersebut juga akan merungkai permasalahan pembelian menerusi Internet serta kemusykilan usahawan tentang akta hak cipta.

"Modul kursus juga menyelitkan sesi kelas Bahasa Cina untuk asas jual beli jadi usahawan yang akan ke sana akan lebih yakin," jelasnya.
