i was reading through this article that my friend sent me. And i think i should share it with everyone. Learning to love each others' differences.
Embracing Imperfection
"When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremelyburnt toast in front of my dad.
I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did wasreach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was atschool. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do rememberwatching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my momapologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget whathe said: 'Baby, I love burnt toast.'
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him ifhe really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,'Andy, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!'
You know life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.
What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept eachother’s faults - and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences -are the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing,and lasting relationship.We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding isthe basis of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!

have you ever been in a cross road in life?
4 directions for you to take.
once you embark on one, it is difficult for you to choose another.
such that you will have to work very hard to make things work out.
career, relationship, family, friends, religion.
all these all linked.
making a decision will mean one of these factor will be affected.
i am in such a dilemma.
i wish i am so blessed, like others. (signs of envy, sigh)
if i make this decision, i will have to stick by it through all the hardship that comes along the way.
