Are You Cold, Mother?

On a heavy snowy day in winter, two men walked along a valley. After trudging for one whole day, they came to a grave.

The grave was covered with thick snow. The tombstone looked very simple. The older man said to the young man, “This is your mother’s grave…” The young man knelt down in the snow.

This story took place 20 years ago. At that time the most intense fighting had occurred here. In order from losing the war all the soldiers had reinforced. Among these was a soldier called Wilson .

The strong offense of the enemy had made the forces retreat ., Wilson had headed forwarded in the snow with the troops in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly heard a baby’s cry, which came from a hole in the snow. Wilson dug into the snow, and was immediately shocked by what he had seen.

In a mother’s arms, the infant was crying aloud. What was even more shocking was the mother was naked. It turned out that when the mother carried her baby to take refuge . They were trapped in this valley by the heavy snow. In order to save her baby, the mother had wrapped all her clothes around the child whilst holding him tightly in her arms. Though the mother had been dead, the baby in her arms had survived.

Wilson was deeply moved by such an unexpected scene. He buried the mother and held the crying baby to pursue the troops.

After the war, he adopted this child and took him to the United States to bring up. When the child grew up, Wilson told him what happened that year and took him to the valley to look for his mother.

Kneeling at the grave, the young man burst into tears.

After a while, the young man started to clean the snow on the grave. After cleaning the snow around, he undressed his clothes, covered the grave, threw himself on the grave and spoke out the words concealed in his heart for long, “Mom, how cold you were for so many years!”

Start for yourself

Start for yourself

Face your greatest fears

And take the new step of faith

Because only who can see the invisible

Can do the impossible.

God opens a door before your eyes

It's up to you to find out

Help yourself and explore the things outside.

If only you could see the genuine smile

Through the eyes of an innocent child

That gives you different insight

Sometimes it's better to be like a child

They take the challenge of life

No matter what comes out

You will see them playing around.

If you want to cope-up with your grief,

You must help and start for yourself

Minimize your self-centeredness,

Maximize your faith and strength for living

Because, God, you are still alive!

There are more things to explore outside.

Even the air you breathed, the voice you've heard,

The things you've seen,

Are enough to analyze,

You are still fortunate to be alive!

You are blessed to take another day

To feel the sun's ray

Hey, didn't you know that you are nature's greatest miracle?

*** SMILE ***

Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.

A smile happens in a flash, but its memory can last a lifetime

There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness

Smiling makes you feel better about yourself, even if you don't feel like it. And it always makes other people think better of you.

A smile is a light in the window of a face that signifies the heart is at home and waiting

Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it

You are never fully dressed until you wear a smile

A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks

Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.

Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you've been up to

Peace begins with a smile

Every tear has a smile behind it.

Keep a smile on your face and let your personality be your autograph

No matter how small, a SMILE on your face tells all

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity

Smiles are unbreakable- -and mend broken hearts

Smiles are great investments: the more you collect, the better you feel

Be multilingual; smiles are the universal language

A laugh is a smile that bursts

A smile is just a frown upside-down

A smile is as nice to give, as it is to receive

Most smiles start with another smile...

Though Smile cannot erase our burden, but it sure does make us feel lighter...

Just smile pleaseeeeeeee

Quotable Quotes

“ I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended. ”


— Nelson Mandela
