When the going gets TOUGH, JUST QUIT

Jeremy, my son just reminded me that I have not been writing anything on this blog.
It was getting TOUGH to avoid comments like this, because nowadays people expect blogs to be updated almost everyday.
So I'll just have to QUIT avoiding, and as a result here is this.

We hear this often enough...
when the going gets TOUGH, the TOUGH gets going...

Well today I'll say ... when the going gets TOUGH, JUST QUIT.
There is always something to gain when you QUIT.

When smoking is getting TOUGH on your health & your wallet ...
QUIT smoking, and you'll gain a healthier lifestyle, respect, etc...

Seriously, sometimes there is no point banging our head, hurting ourselves just to keep going at something when the going gets TOUGH.
We need to QUIT struggling and know that it's not a sign of weakness.
QUITTING may just save us from all the troubles...

Remember, Thomas Edison, the inventor...
(If you don't please google and find out)
School was TOUGH for him, and his behaviour was TOUGH for the teacher...
So Tom just QUIT, (his mom pulled him out and began to home schooled him)
The rest is history as we know it today...

Simon Peter QUIT as a fisherman, and became a fisher of man...

Elisha QUIT being a farmer and became a prophet after Elijah...

Paul QUIT hounding the Christians, and became a Evangelist/Missionary etc...

My friend Grace was writing a script the other day.
She had a lot of other things at work that demands her attention too...
It was TOUGH for Grace to complete the script in time.
Grace did something to save the day...
She QUIT writing, and call in another scriptwriter to complete it.
And in the end, the project gets going.

There are many examples of people I know who gain because they QUIT when the going gets TOUGH...
Penang was a TOUGH place for Alfred and his the creative video/film business,
he plod on for 3 years... that was TOUGH... Alfred was a TOUGH guy anyway...
Finally Alfred did the right thing, he QUIT and got his family down to KL...
With jobs a plenty in KL, providing for the family is no longer a worry...

Hey, there is much to gain when you know when to QUIT...

Life is TOUGH enough, go easy on yourself...
Know when to QUIT...

I See BETTER when my Eyesight got WORSE

I have an eye problem. I can't remember what the doctor called it.
There is a spot in my retina, and it really impairs my vision on the left eye.
This has been happening since 2003. (Doctor said because of work stress)
It comes and goes, but the last time it stayed since November 2007.
This really irritates me as my work and daily life revolves around seeing things CLEARLY.
I have to accept that my eyesight has gotten WORSE...

I now see things in a blurry world...
I can't write properly because I can't see well...(Not that I have good handwriting anyway)
I can't do a lot things well, that I once take pride in doing.
Fixing a tiny screw became a real challenge, ... arrrrrrrgh....

I need to see BETTER, I want to see BETTER...

When my eyesight got WORSE…

I can't see if my wife has wrinkles; HEY that's BETTER

I need to learn to go slow, (enjoy life???); HEY that's BETTER

I can’t see a lot of imperfections in life; HEY that’s BETTER

I began to ask for help even with fixing a screw, and people do help;

I see that people do want to help; HEY that’s BETTER

I learn to see from my HEART and not my EYES…

There are a lot of things that I now SEE BETTER when my eyesight got worse…

Pause, take it slow, learn to overlook the imperfection in others…

Pause, take it easy, learn to ask for help from others…

Pause, take a rest, you need it…

Tell me what you see without your eyes…

I Started A Blog

I started a blog, which started the whole world reading,
But I didn't see that the blog was about me, oh no.

I started to write, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if I'd only seen that the blog was about me.

I looked at the screen, running my thoughts inside my head,
And I fell off my chair, hurting my bum from things that I'd said.

Till I finally typed, which started the whole world thinking,
Oh, they could then see that it's about you and me.

(Sing to the tune of I started A Joke)
