A couple of days ago I had my hair cut. When I was young we used to call them barber. Then later on we call them hairdressers - when the unisex trend started. Not too long ago we called them hair-stylists. I think now they are called ‘hair designers.’ And hair concept, whatever that means.

Anyway, while having my hair done, I told my ‘hair man’ who so happened is my childhood friend, that the Indian barber shop near where I lived is giving free hair-cut to the disabled people (OKU) I said he should do the same for the community. At this point he said, “Let me tell you a Barber Story.”

One day in New York,  a florist went to the barber to get his hair cut. After it’s done, he asked the barber how much. The barber said, It’s free! He is doing it as part of his community work.

The next day a bouquet of 12 roses was sent to his shop from the florist as a way of appreciating him.

Next a policeman went and have his hair cut. And the same thing happened. The barber said it’s free.

The next day, 12 donuts were delivered to the barber from the policeman with a thank you card.

Then a Malaysian went in to get his hair cut. And the barber did the same. No charge! Part of his community service.

Guess what?

Yes, the following day 12 more Malaysians waited in line to get their hair cut!!!

Hehe!!!

 What else can I say about Uncle Lim. He is beyond description. He speaks for truth and justice with no fear or favor. Let this poster speaks of him. The Brave One!

Inspired from Anil Netto’s post: High Crime Rates? Nah, Just Change Your Perception…

 The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

“There are five things you need to know,” he told the pencil, “before l send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.”

“One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.

Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave you mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.”

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

Just like a pencil, we need to remember these five things, in order to become the best person we can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various trials, but you’ll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside.

Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. In other words, leave a legacy behind.
