If you think

I got this set of pictures from my brother's email inbox when he requested me to open it. And to compliment those who blogged about contentment, let me share this with you.

"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want; it is the realization of how much you already have."
I got this quote from Jackie.


If you think you are unhappy, look at them.

If you think your job is tough, how about him?

If you think your salary is low, how about this kid's?

If you think you don't have many friends, ask yourself if you have one sincere friend.

You think study is a burden? How about her?

When you feel like giving up, think of this man.

If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

If you complain about your transport system, how about them?

If your society is unfair to you, look at her.
Think positively and count your blessings. You have many things and aspects in your life to be grateful for.

Now if you think life is unfair, think of these people.

thanks for quoting. ;)

anywhoots, these pictures show that we lack importance to others. The idea of just how important and powerful having purpose in our lives doesn’t really hit us until it is taken from or lost upon us. haiz.

Whoa. I'm so lucky I haven't experienced these thing yet. I agree with jackie, we don't appreciate things around us until we lose them. This reminded me of my brother's death, I felt so sad because I was not able to tell him how much I love and care for him.

I feel so sorry for these people. My heart goes to them. I felt stupid because I'm the one who complains the most.

thanks kuya for posting this one, realization came to me through this post, I'm so grateful to be blessed with so many good things. God bless!
