母亲节, 你了解多少?

刚刚通过 MyFM 听到了很多关于母爱,奉献的歌曲。有些非常经典,有些旋律老陈,但每一首歌都可以深深的打动我的心。虽然,没有办法和家人一起庆祝伟大的母亲节,但是对母亲的爱,尊敬,敬佩,感恩还是一样的不会少。希望,我妈妈及我干妈都开开心心,工作顺利。当然,最重要的是身体健康。

对我而言,母亲节是一个提醒我们要感恩的日子。很多时候,我们都因为工作或种种的原因无法陪伴母亲,有些甚至连母亲的养育之恩都给忘了。当然,我们不应该只在母亲节才孝顺母亲,每一天,做每一件事前,想想如果我做错了,我的母亲会如何,会怎样?常常提醒自己要自爱,因为自爱就等给与父母亲的爱。天下的父母不企求从儿女身上赚取任何的利益,他们只希望他们的儿女们能够好好的生活。我觉得,最好孝顺父母的办法就是“好好的生活”,懂得照顾自己,不做违法的事情,不让父母担心,及关心父母。简单的一句我爱你就行了。很多年了,我都没有勇气对我妈妈说我爱你,这次,我开始了第一步,我发了个简讯,告诉我妈妈,I Love You 。 虽然不是亲口告诉你,妈妈,但我是打从内心告诉你,我真的爱你,很谢谢你给我生命,给我教育,抚养我长大。“打骂我最多的人,就是成就我最大的人”。谢谢你妈妈。

愿全天下的妈妈母亲节快乐




起源

母亲节起源于希腊,古希腊人在这一天向希腊神话中的众神之母赫拉致敬。古希腊人每年春天都要为传说中的众神之母、人类母亲的象征--赛比亚举行盛大的庆祝活动。但这时还未形成母亲节。在17世纪中叶,母亲节流传到英国,英国人把封斋期的第四个星期天作为母亲节。在这一天里,出门在外的年青人将回到家中, 给他们的母亲带上一些小礼物。

现代意义上的母亲节起源于美国,由安娜·贾维斯(Amanm Jarvis,1864-1948)发起,她终身未婚,一直陪伴在她母亲身边,母亲死于1905年,贾维斯悲痛欲绝,两年后(1907年),贾维斯和她的朋友开始写信给有影响的部长、商人、议员来寻求支持,以便让母亲节成为一个法定的节 日。贾维斯为子女经常忽视了对母亲的感情,她希望母亲节能够让人多想一想母亲为家庭所付出的一切。

第一个母亲节于1908年5月10日在西弗吉尼亚和宾夕法尼亚州举行,在这次节日里,康乃馨被选中为献给母亲的花,并以此流传下来。


现代母亲节

1913年,美国国会通过了一份议案,将每年5月的第二个星期天作为法定的母亲节。母亲节从此流传开来。

母亲节是由一位名叫贾维斯的妇女倡导,并由她的女儿安娜·贾维斯发起创立的。

贾维斯夫人是一个有着10个子女的母亲,是当时美国格拉夫顿城教会主日学校的总监。在美国以解放黑奴为目的的南北战争结束后,她在学校里负责讲述美国国殇纪念日的课程。贾维斯是一位心地善良,极富同情心的女人。她讲述着战争中那一个个为正义捐躯的英雄的故事,望着台下那一张张充满稚气的孩子们的脸,一个想法猛然涌上心头:为祖国贡献了这么多英勇战士,保证了战争胜利的,不就是那一个个含辛茹苦地抚育着子女的母亲们吗?她们的儿子血染疆场,承受了最大的痛苦和牺牲的,不也是这些默默无闻的母亲吗?因此,她提出应该设立一个纪念日或母亲节,给这些平凡的女人一些慰藉,表达儿女们对母亲的孝思。可惜的是,这个良好的愿望还没有实现,贾维斯夫人便与世长辞了。她的女儿安娜·贾维斯目睹母亲抚养自己和兄弟姐妹成人的辛劳,深感母亲的提议是适合天理人心的。因此,她写出了几十封信,发给美国国会。地方州长和妇女组织等,提议创立母亲节。在她的一再呼吁下,这一提议得到了社会上的广泛响应和支持。

1914年,美国总统威尔逊郑重宣布,把每年5月的第二个星期天,也就是贾维斯夫人的忌日,定为母亲节。美国政府还规定,母亲节这天,家家户户都要悬挂国旗,以表示对母亲的尊敬。由于贾维斯夫人生前喜爱康乃馨花,这种花也就成了母亲节的象征。

母亲节是个充满人间温情的节日,这一天,家里的男成员要把全部家务活都包下来,儿女们每人都要做一件让母亲高兴的事,以尽孝道。即使远在异地的孩子,也要打电话向母亲表示祝贺。这一天,美国人民都要在胸前佩上一朵花。母亲健在的,佩戴一朵红色的康乃馨,表示欢愉;母亲逝世的,戴一朵白色的康乃馨,表达哀思。

母亲节创立后,也得到了全世界各国人民的支持。安娜·贾维斯在世时,设立母亲节的国家已达43个。时至今日,欢庆这个节日的国家就更多了。母亲节,已经成了一个名副其实的国际性节日。按惯例,“国际母亲节”被定在每年的5月11日举行。

Can Malaysians behave like Japanese during calamity

Let's take a look at what happened in Japan when the earthquake and tsunami struck.The tragedy is still unfolding. The pain and the suffering and the great loss to human lives and property are well observed. Humanitarian efforts in full swing. But, the most amazing thing that unfolded before our very eyes is the discipline among the Japanese people.

One email making its rounds accurately summed up the 10 best traits observed in this tragedy.

Among them:

There was dignity: The people queued up for water and groceries and not a rough word or a crude gesture was observed.

There was grace: The people bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

There was order: There was no looting in shops, no honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

There was tenderness: Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

There was conscious: When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.

In similar situations elsewhere, tragedies like this have often brought out the best and the worst in us.

Our humanitarian outreach, our concern and our prayers remind us we are decent human beings. The downside is that looters run riot, business people spike up their prices, and people grab more than what they need.

Here we are thankful that we are not put to the test but if you look at things objectively, you may not have much hope that our people can be as disciplined as the Japanese.

It is a perennial problem for us (Malaysians), come festive seasons, for some essential items to be suddenly scarce or to even disappear from the shelves. We have to regularly enforce laws against profiteering.

When we "balik kampung", we break all the traffic rules to get to where we want to go.

Cutting queues seems to be a national pastime and the fact that we can even subscribe to a service that tells us if we have a traffic summons must surely imply that we do consistently break the law and just hope we don't get caught.

Isn't it scary to think what might happen if we are faced with tough situations where our personal behaviour can have tremendous ramifications on overall civil order?

The secret, I believe, is to behave right in good times so that it will be natural to do likewise in tough times.

We need to understand the concept of sacrifice for the greater good. Then our nation will be a greater society, and we can be a great people.

Learning & Sharing - To be a better "Me"


1st. Principal : Whomsoever we encounter are the right one
No one comes into our life by chance. Everyone who is around us, anyone with whom we interact, represents something. Whether to teach us something or to help us to improve our current situation. Is the person you met helping you or jeopardising you? You choose.

2nd. Principal : Whatever happened is the only thing that could have happened
What had happened is the only that could have taken place and must have exist for us to learn our lesson in order to move forward. Every single situation in life which we encounter is absolutely perfect, even when it defies our understanding and our ego. To accept or reject a happening that must or had happened? You choose.

3rd. Principal : Each moment in which something begins is the right moment
Everything begins at exactly the right moment, neither earlier nor later. When we are ready for it, for that something new and good in our life, it is there, ready to begin? You want to be ready sooner or later? You choose.

4th. Principal : What is over is over
When something in our life ends, it helps our evolution. That is why enriched by the recent experience, it is better to let go and move on. To stuck in the dark or ready to accept another light? You choose.

What Is The Best Religion In The World ???

"The best religion is the one that gets you closest to the God.
It is the one that makes you a better person"

Whatever makes you
more compassionate
more sensible
more detached
more loving
more humanitarian
more responsible
more ethical
"The religion that will do that for you is the best religion"

Take care of our thoughts because they will become words
Take care of our words because they will become actions
Take care of our actions because they will become habits
Take care of our habits because they will become character
Take care of our character because they will form our destiny
And our destiny will be our life
"There is no religion better than the mere truth"

有巧智,才能有靈性;
有巧智,才能有活動;
有巧智,才能有美感;
有巧智,才能有思想。

有慧心,才能明白自己;
有慧心,才能認識世界;
有慧心,才能洞察一切,
有慧心,才能預知未來。

今年是「兔年」,祝福大家像巧兔一樣,擁有「巧智慧心」。

兔年2011 恭喜发财



祝各位

新年快乐 万事如意 身体健康 福星高照
生意兴隆 招财进宝 事事顺心 心想事成

兔年行大运

一年一度的农历新年,乃是华人最澎湃最喜洋洋的节日。正所谓“人逢喜事精神爽,每逢佳节陪思亲”。华人新年最讲究的就是团圆和吉利。也因如此,在这新年期间对家人的思念也特别的深,已经三年没和在马来西亚的家人一起度过温馨的喜日。我非常的怀念以前热热闹闹的巴眼色海。大街或小巷都是一样的热闹,很多在外地公干的亲戚,邻居,友人都回乡了,人聚满堂。

当然,在英国深造的我也一定要好好的小庆新年。除夕夜,我和一般朋友们聚在“荷李仙”享吃丰富的年夜饭。不赖,还蛮开心的。虽不能和家人一起吃晚饭,但是和好友聚一聚也是种天轮之乐。农历新年一共是十五天,若只吃了年夜饭就算是过年的话,那可就很悲哀了呗。就在年初四,哈哈。。。吃火锅,捞鱼生。。。当然,还有好戏在后头,上演“新时代少年赌神”。







今天已经是大年十五,元宵节,相信在家乡一定会有很多热闹的元宵晚会,很可惜,此时无法体验当地的气氛及人潮。我也在此祝所有的情人,有情人终成眷属,抛甘去吧!记得在甘上写下你的电联,及面子书名号。这个时代没面子书,追究女生可就问题大了。

今年的新年,不但只给了我和朋友聚会的机会,也让我感触到团圆的可贵。在此,希望借这个机会和大家分享小青蛙的体会。各位还在念书的中学生,你们可要记得,你们还可以天天陪伴着家人的时间剩下不多了,中一的你还剩下5 年的时间,中五的你只剩下12个月。之后,就读学院或大专的你要见到家人,父母亲的机会就只有公众假期和学校假期了。若在国外念书的你,就只能够在暑假才见面了。在工作的你,就只剩下公众假期才能回家见爹娘。有了自己家庭的你,事业正在腾达的你,忙着赚钱过生活的你,见到父母的时候只有剩下大节日,过节的时候罢了。所以,无论在何方的你,切记一定要珍惜每一个可以和家人团聚的机会。一但错过就可能要等到一年后了,有些人却永远的无法再等到了。所以,无论身在何处,记得要回家,因为家是一个温室,是一个避风的港湾,家人是我们精神的支柱。

再一次,祝各位,新年快乐,事事顺利。
恭喜发财

(我的红包可别忘了,噢!!!)
