Indonesian
Archipelago
Meteorologists are predicting that this archipelago
will lose 2000 islands and 154,000 square miles of land
from parts of Papua, Java and Sumatra by 2080. Some
even predict that a quarter of Jakarta (the capital)
will be lost by 2050.

Five balls of life ...
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling
some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family,
health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these
in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls –
family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop
one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked,
damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must
understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
* Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
* Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
* Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is
meaningless.
* Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a
time, you live ALL the days of your life.
* Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing
is really over until the moment you stop trying.
* Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.
* Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances
that we learn how to be brave.
* Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible
to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest
way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to
keep love is to give it wings.
* Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only
where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
* Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need
is to feel appreciated.
* Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure
you can always carry easily.
* Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the
way
