https://www.flickr.com/photos/sarairachel/6647350979 Inspiring story about Buddha , " Hearing that Buddha was enlightened , a man traveled far to see him. But this man was full of hatred.  When he found the Buddha, he swore at him, cursed him, and called him names day and night.  The Buddha continued to meditate quietly with a warm smile on his face. After several days, the man grew tired, as he hadn't broken down the Buddha at all. Finally, one morning the Buddha called the man to him. The Buddha said, " Let me ask you a question.  If a man brings me a gift and I refuse to accept it, to whom does the gift belong ? " The man thought for a minute and said, " To the one who gave it." The Buddha smiled and nodded.   Then he said, " Then if you come to me with the gift of hatred and I refuse to accept it, to whom does the hatred belong ? " The man gasped, " To me." After that, the man became a follow...

I really don't remember when and where I first heard this song   "The end of the world by Skeeter Davis" , but I surely knew this song.  While we were watching oldies music on TV, suddenly my old tapes came to my mind which were tapes that were recorded by my friend who was 10 years older than me, when I was around 22 years old.  Fortunately I was keeping the tape until now and soon I found it and the song we have been repeatedly listening to is that song.  When I checked about the song and the singer, it was a big hit in 1963 !  Which happens to be the year when we were born.  We feel this song is like an ocean of emotion, super touching.  There are other singers who also sang the song but we both felt the original singer Skeeter Davis 's singing has the deepest emotion and is very touching.  Honestly, I wasn't listening to the lyrics until recently, I was touched by the melody of this music, because I felt it's so beautiful....

When I was a teenager, I imagined that becoming famous from one's career =  success = happiness.   Like getting appearances on TV,  your posters are everywhere, top idol star, musician, actor/actress, model, comedian, sports player, etc.. everything which belongs with entertainment. There was a time I thought it looked cool to be famous from career success, getting spotlight, but I was only seeing it from one side. Then I started hearing many rumors about celebrities, the behind the scenes, people gossiping about how this or that celebrity could get that successful position, etc.. I've heard that to be successful in that world, you will need to do something you don't want to which is not related to your work. and learned that there are some people who can - with no problem - do anything to get to the position they want, by thinking like it's a business. But I found I'm not the person who can do something I don't want to by ignoring my inn...

  I've been looking forward to seeing this movie about Freddie Mercury . http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/oct/21/ben-whishaw-freddie-mercury-biopic The following is a quote from Queen guitarist, Dr.Brian May in that article, "We're very protective [of Freddie] and we're known for not hiding away from the truth. There's not going to be any pretense about this. It's going to be something very true – as true as we can make it – but also respectful to Freddie as a performer and as a man." I really love the friendship between Brian May and Roger Taylor and John Deacon to Freddie Mercury.  They are so sweet to make Freddie's movie. While many famous people are more of  "Look at me, " type , and many bands have band members who are more concerned about how much attention they themselves will get, these three decided to make a movie about Queen's biography focusing mainly on their band-mate Freddie. It's a very...
