Don't ridicule your hardworking friends

"Enough la.. dont study too hard"
"Wah.. so rajin.."
"Study.. study..study... go yum char la...."

or

Q: How you got such a good result? sure study very hard one...
A( try to be humble): no la... I always watch TV and play Star craft every day..

Sounds familiar? well, I used to said that to my friends and I am now into the habit of doing it. I been so mean and I am now regretting for uttering such discourage words to my own beloved friends.

There is nothing wrong to work hard, study and do all your best in your examination. There is nothing wrong sacrificing yum char time, going for movie, etc because exam/ test is around the corner. That doesn't mean that you are nerd or geek but it just shows that you are responsible.

I also have a problem with some good students who deny that they studied very hard and emphasis that they play all the time. They might be telling the "truth", but by telling that to their fellow weaker friends, they do them no good but to harm them. What is wrong by encourage your fellow friends to study hard?

Instead say this:

"Buddy, thank you for showing such a good example to me for being so hardworking"

or

Q: How you do so well in ***** examination? sure study very hard one...
A: I give to God all the glory. He taught me to work hard for it. I am sure you can excel too if you....etc.

God Bless.

left or wrong?

My dad once told me a joke. I do not really know where he learn that joke from.

A: In every right, there is wrong and in every good, there is bad. Therefore, there is no such thing as absolutely Right and no such thing as absolutely Wrong.

Dad: Do you think that is absolutely right?

Another one, 2 sentences:

The sentence below is correct.
The above sentence is wrong.

"UNIFY!", says the Benedict

The newly elected pope, Pope Benedict XVI determines to unify all Christians. To unify Christians doesn't mean unite members within the Catholic Church. He doesn't mean that the Catholic members are in great disagreement or conflict! No! He wants to the all Christian -- the Methodist, the Baptist, Charismatic, Lutherans... You name it.

Please read the book The Great Controversy (GC), Chapter 35 before you proceed. MUST READ, in order to understand what I am trying to say.
Let me quote to you the 1st paragraph:

Romanism is now regarded by Protestants with far greater favor than in former years. In those countries where Catholicism is not in the ascendancy, and the papists are taking a conciliatory course in order to gain influence, there is an increasing indifference concerning the doctrines that separate the reformed churches from the papal hierarchy; the opinion is gaining ground that, after all, we do not differ so widely upon vital points as has been supposed, and that a little concession on our part will bring us into a better understanding with Rome. The time was when Protestants placed a high value upon the liberty of conscience which had been so dearly purchased. They taught their children to abhor popery and held that to seek harmony with Rome would be disloyalty to God. But how widely different are the sentiments now expressed!

Here are some of the except from the press, news, media:

Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday pledged to work to unify all Christians!

To unify is his main agenda. He said his "primary task" would be to work to reunify all Christians and that sentiment alone was not enough.

The message was clearly designed to show that Benedict was intent on following many of the groundbreaking paths charted by John Paul, who had made reaching out to other religions and trying to heal the 1,000-year-old schism in Christianity a hallmark of his pontificate.

"I too ... want to affirm with decisive willingness to follow in the commitment of carrying out the Second Vatican Council, in the wake of my predecessors and in faithful continuity with the 2,000-year-old tradition of the church," he said

It was a sign of John Paul's charismatic legacy looming over the new pontiff, who is described by people who know him as intellectual, cultured and rather reserved.

Pope John Paul II did a very good job by making friends and reconciling with the protestant and rest of the world. He is been once celebrated as the Most traveled Pope in history. Making friends was his aim. He even apologizes on behalf of the church for what the church had done during the dark ages just as predicted in Prophecy. And now, after making friends Pope Benedict XVI will do the unification.... and we will see what will be next... just keep watching...and of course praying!
