The Human Spirit
Hey all, thanks for all the birthday wishes from those who knew it was my b-day and so sorry if i missed any-1’s. well on with the blog. I tot i wanted to blog bout my birthday celebrations but i decided not to because of the dinner i had on the 16th-Jul-2005. well it was a charity dinner in conjunction with the tenth anniversary of an orgina\ization calle PKIK which is a special school and training centre for the "special" children. i tought i was in for a boring night of speaches and boring buerocrats talking and talking politics but boy was i wrong… i was in for one of the most impressive displays of human spirit i have ever seen. those who work and parent and take care of these special children are a breed a apart from us normal human beings. imagine the trials and tribulations of normal parents and teachers of our "normal" children just multiply it by 100 times…. and that is what the teachers, parents and guardians of these children have to face on a daily basis. on top of that these childern are so special as well. my hats off to the parents and teachers and guardians but the children took my breath away. these children were performing all sorts of dances and fashion shows. I mean i magine if we were asked to do these performances, how much trouble we "normal" people have to go through. Imagine the effort by these children to put such performance up i must have been gargantuan size and effort. these children made me shed a tear… for us "normal" people to bitch and complain bout our lives, it seems so out of place. these people have to go through 100 times chalenges we have to go through but they carry on because their spirit will not be broken. it was impressive enough for them to perform dances but later in the night i found out one of them actually went to US to represent our country in a forum for all the special people in malaysia. he also writes regularly in the "one voice" newspaper which is a news paper for these specially. I was humbled even taken aback by what they with so many chalenges have accomplished. i mean the odds are literally stacked against them as soon as the were born. what have us normal people accomplished?? These people are truly and utimately SPECIAL. Dear kids my hats off to all of you…… i truly humbled in your presence…. May god Bless and take care of all you parents, teachers and guardians for you people are truly the SUPERHERO’s in your own right. we humans say someone is great by acomplishing something like winning the Tour de France i mean it is a great thing but we "normal" people are already doubly blessed with the natural talent to do such feats but when you see these children do what they do no matter how great a man you are or how much you have accomplished you will feel small and your acomplishments feel insignificant for the acomplish these great feats on a daily basis. These Special People are my heros pushing and urging me onwards. Thank You from the Bottom of My heart for being such an inspiration to me and such a GREAT example of "The Human Spirit".
