Happy New Year, Make a great journey

JOURNEY - How our life is - a note from Danish magazine, added by Aileen Noura

Life is like a journey on a train...
with its stations...
with changes of routes...
and with accidents !


We board this train when we are born and our parents are the ones who get our ticket.

We believe they will always travel on this train with us.

However, at some station our parents will get off the train, leaving us alone on this journey.

As time goes by, other passengers will board the train, many of whom will be significant - our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life.

Many will get off during the journey and leave a permanent vacuum in our lives.

Many will go so unnoticed that we won't even know when they vacated their seats and got off the train !

This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, good-byes, and farewells.

A good journey is helping, loving, having a good relationship with all co passengers...
and making sure that we give our best to make their journey comfortable...,

The mystery of this fabulous journey is :
We do not know at which station we ourselves are going to get off.
......
So, live in the best way - adjust, forget, forgive and offer the best of what we have.

It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to leave our seat... we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life."

Thank you for being one of the important passengers on my train... don't know when my station will come... don't want to miss saying: "Thank you"

Thank you all for being part of this journey.

Hope to see a positive and inspiring 2015 ahead.
To the one that mean so much..our journey just about to begin, I'm enjoying it and love every moment.

Know your goodself, discover your own niche

) What is your passion? This may seem a little obvious, but there are many areas you can find your niche. The key here is to list in writing what you really enjoy and also list what you really don’t enjoy. For example, I really love to build something hot (pheww) and I really don’t enjoy fixing or repairing things. A word of caution, once you tell people that you build boiler for a Solar Power plant all they think is double boiler for dim sum steamer in their head.

#2) Look for trends. A great way to find out what is trending and what is in demand is to page through recent home magazines, websites(especially Pinterest) to find what people are buying. Also, you want to do some market research and find out what homeowners are buying in the furniture field. This can be done by doing research on your own or outsource it through websites such as elance or fiverr.

If it important to meet the daily demand, it is is important to enjoy life

If it’s important to prepare for the demands of the everyday, it’s just as crucial to enjoy life. So, alongside the meetings, appointments and email replies, find time to be inspired, take in the beauty of the world, and laugh with your family and friends.

The important of play!

If everyone could live with the spirit of the child, the world would be a better place. Why?? Because the children are so curious, adventure, creative and playful. Playful?? Is that important? Yes..It is. It's the first step of learning new thing in life and adapt it accordingly to the self creativity.

I am driven to write this after a few talk with my better half.. (yes,
It's my daring time to call him my better half.. he plays a lot hence he is better than me) He asked me several times how is Andreas' social development, does he make friends, does he like to watch tv and what kind of toys he likes to play with? What makes this questions important for him to ask me?

It spurred my mind to create awareness how important to play especially with nature and be playful.

For those who are closer to me, they know that Andreas has never own an Ipad or tablet that had access to multiple online Apple/Android games. All he has is a VTech tablet that enhance motoric, maths and cognitive efficiency. Not that I never introduce him to that Angry Bird game but he has lack of interest to any game that has a pause once level failed. He doesn't see it is rewarding to play AngryBird.

Playing is one of the most important parts of life, and something that too many people forget to put into practice.

I love all the toys that children can use muscle, energy, creativity on it such as the one from SES, wooden pieces that we can construct into object.














Or Moulin Roty Tool Box for further motoric adventure













And Moulin Roty Flower Press to dry some flowers and leaves for science project or card making












Apart all these running on beach collecting seashells, playing kites, playing with mud are fun enough and bring tonnes of happiness in a child.

I've always loved the English writer Aldous Huxley's way of putting this: The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

Or, to put it in the words of the American writer Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr: “Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.”

Honor yourself

Let go of all the little white lies and charades. – How do you build credibility? It’s not rocket science. Be honest. Follow through. Honor your promises. Say sorry when you SCREW UP. Mean what you say. Apologize straight from your heart. Be the type of person you want to meet and spend time with. Be the type of person whose actions, words and values always agree with each other.
