The Two Most Excitement Men in the World in This Moment

Tomorrow, one of these men’s life pattern will be changed.
The whole family and new generation’s future will be changed.
The United States and Americans’ direction will be changed in some points.
The change of the United States and Americans will surely shake the other changing consequences of the World.

We will see tomorrow, who will lead? –
this Free Land;
where the most modernized people are living;
where the strong people are living;
where the brave people are living;
where one-third of world’s economy has existed;
where, which is the most powerful country in the world!

You could see the changing patterns of the world that when the United States sneeze, rest parts of the world get fever. When the United States grow, the rest parts of the world also have opportunities to grow together because Americans always share their new ideas, innovations, growth, wealth, education, freeness and fairness with the other people of the world.

Tomorrow, on the November 4th, we will see our new leader who will create our better lives in future!

Have a Greatness Eve and Good Luck for everybody!!!

Love

Today, I was listening to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “A knock at midnight” sound tape at my work.
There are six tapes in the package and I finished only four tapes today. I have to listen to the rest part tomorrow.
In one of the speeches, he explained about “love.” In English, we have only one word “Love” about the love.
For me, I also know in Arakanese, Burmese and Thai languages about “Love,” and those languages also have only one word - “Love.”
Since then, when we have to split about the meanings of love, we have to say specifically, such as ‘love for romantic of man and woman,’ ‘love for friends,’ and ‘love for things.’
Dr. King explained that in Greek language, there are three different words for love;
- Romantic Love: between man and woman
- Friendship Love: Love between/among friends, colleagues, teammates etc.
- Great Love (or) God’s Love: Love anybody, anything on any situation, without any pre-judgment.
(I am sorry I could not be available to write the Greek words.)
Then, I googled about ‘love’ in Greek-English online dictionaries.
One of the dictionaries expressed as below:

love
(Lex**) αγάπη love (for/to a thing)
(Lex*) αγάπη (για/σε ένα πράγμα) love (of/for/to/towards a person)
(Lex*) αγάπη (***of/for/to/towards ένα πρόσωπο)

Just sharing with my readers. Sometimes, if we explore different languages, it makes us to understand the concepts of the words better.
Have a lovely day!

Beautiful Views from An Arakanese Traditional Wedding in Bangladesh

Be Optimist: At least, you could be Happy!

Today, I have sent an email to my friends and classmates. One of the lines in the email was, “Have a great season with roads, which raved with golden leaves.”

In October 2004, when I arrived in the U.S., many roads were already raved with golden leaves. When I told about these ‘golden leaves,’ to one of my friends during a phone call, he said that I was a very poetic person. Probably be.

In my opinion, I will say by myself in this case - as an optimist. During the fall season, almost every street in mid-west is often full with falling leaves from the trees along. We can see it as ‘Golden Road.’ We can take it as ‘Garbage Road.’ We can observe it as ‘Fertilized Road.’ If we brainstorm, several different views will be occurred on these streets with leaves. It depends on – what you think, what you regard or what you approach by which way.

Let us be optimists; in the bottom line, it will help us to feel happy and positive by ourselves.

Thanks and have a great season with streets, which raved with golden leaves!

Happy 4th Anniversary Day in the United States

I have resettled on October 26, 2004 in the United States. So today is 4th anniversary day in the United States for me.

In the afternoon, while I was working, I got a call from mom and dad (in laws), talking about congratulations! It was really great.

Then, I evaluate by myself; what happened, what changed with me and my life within four years in USA?

· We have now three children.
· I became a sophomore college student.
· I know how to drive and became some experienced driver in both of high-way and local.
· I can write some English though it is not that correct.
· I can speak English though it is not the way grammatically.
· I know how to create a blog, and I have my own blog.
· Though I don’t like the cold, I love the snow in winter.
· The bad thing is – I don’t have the chance to watch good soccer matches.
· We were joking about American football when I was in Asia, such as – “Americans are funny. They say it is football, and they play with hand.” Now, I fall in love with NFL and it becomes my second favorite sport to watch, after soccer games.

For future? I will try to become a high productive citizen.

Thanks everybody!

Have a great day!

Patience is Better

Every weekend, when I work at school, I usually listen to sound tapes and CDs. The tapes, which I listen to, are from several subjects, such as business, leadership, philosophy, speech, biography, fiction, poem and so on.

Sometimes, it is not interesting at all to listen to, at first. But later, they are often good. Recently, I listened to a philosophical sound tape. The package had three tapes and till the end of both A and B sides of the first tape, it was talking about foods; how to make and eat those foods; how those foods make energy for both of physically and mentally, and so forth. Mostly, it was about the food. I was not interested in at all. Almost I was going to drop back at library.

Well, I set up my mind to be patient and to listen to the rest two tapes, with curiousity; how they could be. Then, I continued. Actually, the best point, especially I liked the most was in the final tape. It gave me powerful and great spirit.

Today, it was another tape, which was bad at first, but lately it was really good. Then, what I find is that – for the most part, patience is better.

Thank you and have a good day!

FIFO

In our family, since my wife work full time, I am taking care of our three children and stay at home, washing the dishes is one of my main duties as a master mom.

In many evenings, sweeping the floor and washing the dishes take time. Sometimes, I finish the job at ten and I have no time to study, as I am tired already.

Today, I am practicing the FIFO system, which I have learned in Economics when I was a university student. In economics, we have four systems as part of business management;
FIFO: First In-First Out
FILO: First In-Last Out
LIFO: Last In-First Out
LILO: Last In-Last Out
For my cleaning the dishes, I am using FIFO, which is First In-First Out, and it works well. Any dishes come up with dirty; I try to clean as soon as finish eating of kids or adults. First In-First Out! Very good.

Just sharing with you about one of my combination methods, which is between school knowledge and household works. Actually, you can use these methods at wherever you want. Have Fun!
