12 October 2013 – Volunteer class – recycling

Most grateful that I did not miss that day class as the topic is something very close to my heart.


The story shared by an elderly lady (80 years old) really got me thinking. Her stories how she managed to change after participating in recycling touched me. She said that she has reminded herself not to get angry when her family members reminded her when she returned home late after recycling. She realized that getting angry would only “burn away” all her good blessings . This got me thinking. Am reminding myself to keep check of own anger.

Is easy to ignite anger in lay man

A clever person is one who will try to suppress own anger

A wise person is one who will do it without realizing that he/she is doing it. They are one who can tolerate insult without feeling a pinch ego.
