IS MONEY EVERYTHING IN LIFE?

Hi all.
The hot issue in my country now is about corruption done by some public officers.  it’s really shameful and really embarrassing. but let me make it more specific. Corruption and money. these two things are just simple we find in our daily life. For some people money could mean anything in life. with money, they could buy expensive stuffs, they could buy properties up to skyscrapers. With money, they could buy people’s voice (much easier in developing or under developed countries like mine) To vote someone to be a a leader will need huge number of money. Even to take someone’s heart, money could talk more. hmmm…. hate this. corrupt bureaucracy is everywhere..but these greedy people are laughing to have swollen the people’s money. Modified taxes are shared with greed, money marked up is just easy and money, once again can do anything. The worst is the right person could be the guilty side by the law because he could not afford for good lawyer. really hate this. The law could be replaced by some money.
Now many of us, me also are shaking, can’t stand this but nothing can be done. The money is up high there as if they say…If you don’t have enough, don’t ever fight me…
I do hope that this earth will be a better place for our children in the future like Jacko’s song. heal the world. I need miracle. God help us!!!

EASY TO CRITICIZE?

             
           So easy for us to send protest about something that is not in its path even though it is not meant to go wrong. The worst is when somebody is criticizing without looking at the real problem or case. Anger and hatred show up very clearly without giving solution. Here jealousy plays role also dislikes. How bad we are if we do not start changing our bad manner. Come on criticizing as well as the solution…. we are human right? things could go wrong only in second.

FB: GOOD AND BAD

Hi,
I am sure that you have your FB account and update it almost everytime you think you need to. I have mine. Some people are allergic to this social networking. But for some more people, their lives depend on this site.
For me FB as the other social networkings like tweeter, Bebo, Myspace, etc has also effected the way I see other people. I learnt many from friends and I got many new things from them. I got, for example good English sites for practicing my poor English or even I have now many new friends from other countries by which we often chat or talk. this is very interesting
Sharing photos is one way for me to share our experiences. That’s great. Really great.
For those who do not like this social networking perhaps ever had something bad from FB. It is only one simple case.
I think for you and for us all here, everything depends on the users only.

regards,

A TIP TO SPEAK MORE FLUENTLY

Hi all my friends,
We know that learning a second language (English) requires a lot of sacrifices and if we do, the language being learnt will also do a lot for us such as building our confidence among our friends. thousands theories offered to master English but many of us feel hard to apply ones. Many get frustrated and finally surrender.
For me, the simplest thing to master English as the second language is just through “Think  of something easy and say it or think a thing and write it” I did do this even till now.. when i am thinking of something, i just start exploring it and the best way out of my thinking is just “write it” like here in Spotlight discussion forum.
Whatever we write, just believe me “we are improving even with only a few new words but the vocabs develop day by day and surely we’re getting better everyday.
There are a lot of forums we can open or surf on the nets. the more we say or write the better we are. Don’t ever worry to make mistakes because those mistakes make us learn.

good luck.

LEARNING FROM MISTAKE

Hi there..
I always emphasise one wise quote said ” we are learning from our mistake” and i can make this quote in line with “no genius hatches on bed”.
I love these two sayings and i do believe what i have till this very second is the result of a lot of mistakes i already made in life. Meanwhile, when we study a foreign language and we are supposed to create mistakes. Mistakes make us aware not to repeat the same thing we did wrong. Mistake teaches us to be more careful on something… well what about you?

I NEVER THANK GOD

Hello,
“Who do you think you are?”
This question is showing us a kind of superiority. It seems to underestimate someone who hears the question.
Do you think you are better then others?
Sometimes I feel I am better for a thing but I am worse for many other things. That’s natural I guess. But when i feel that I am more superior or more powerful than others,  It has made me one step backward from “the Creator”. I know I am not supposed to have that kind of feeling.
I am just luckier then them. But I am not grateful man.
How much oxygen everyday I take from ‘Him’ freely. I have complete and perfect body parts but sometimes I use them for bad purposes. I use my mouth to mock other people while there are thousands of disable people need My voices just to pray and to say good words to others.
I am really stupid and selfish. Many people also need my arms just to shake others’hand warmly saying thank you but I use my arms, my hand to slap, to strike others or even to kill the innocents.
What do you call me? 
I saw others’ skins worse than my skin. I am from higher classes of people while I see others are just lower than me that I could do whatever I want to and give them orders otherwise bad things happen to them.
I threaten others with my short-gun or even my machine gun and my up-to-date and deadly bombs. I don’t care others because I am the ruling country. I decide anything.
What do you think I am?
I am sorry for being more powerful than others because I have the money…The others just work for me.
Finally, I fell over really hard, really painful and got my heart attack. I am dying…................................
and finally I remember ‘You’. You are my Lord. I am sorry. i deserve to get this reward from You. I forget if we are equally created here.
Sorry.

HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Hi all,
When we hear the word “green” we will be referred to somebody who is inexperiences or incapable of doing something. Green also means very young not mature enough. But what I want to share here is ‘being green’ to anything meaning keeping the earth staying green, not destroyed.
It is very sad whenever I watch teli that the destruction of woods is everywhere and badly consumed by us. Bribery is one of the factors why people still cutting the forest easily.
I am not really green but if you ask me what my concern to the environment and I will tell ya that I don’t throw my rubbish to a river or something like it, then I use several times the difficult recycling materials, I also joint planting mangroves around my office
how about you?
