+ De'Monté Love +In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina one little 6 years old boy rise above the waters and became a hero. He was with his cousins and friends whom were all less than 3 years old and a 5 months old brother. They were joined by his mom on top of a roof for 3 days, waiting to be rescued. When the helicopter finally arrived they didn't have enough seats for all of them so they took all the kids and seprated them from his mom. The kids including DeMonte himself were droped off at an airport. While his mom was rescued and droped off at another location. His mom anxiously searched for him, meanwhile DeMonte was holding hands with his brood and encouraging them to keep up their spirits. He did this for four days! until he was reunited with his mom. I mean come on 6 years old~!!! Personally i'm like almost 4 times his age and i can't even take care of myself~! I begin to think questions like do we really need a disaster to act mature? Do we really need to lose everything so we can appriciate and precious everything arround us? Reading and hearing stories like this just gives me chills and extreame encouragement.
There are 365 days in a year, average living for a human being is abt 75 years old so that's abt 27,375 days on earth... if u are around my age u have abt 19,710 days left in this world... for the first time 5 digits sounds so quite few... 20 thousand dollars is quite alot of money, 20 parties is quite alot of parties, 20 thousand people lead by u to christ is quite alot of souls... what r u gonna do with the days that your left with?
Make each day count, live for what u believe in.

Jesus helppppp, Q please pray for me, I seriously have trouble focusing on studying these days, and I would waste chunks of time away...>.<
"Be very careful then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." (Ephesians5:15~17)

Imagine there is a Bank that credits your account every morning with $86,400.
However, it carries over no balance from day to day and every night the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance and it allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow." You must live in the present solely on today's deposits. So invest it wisely each day to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today.
To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed the HSC.
To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realise the value of ONE-SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.
And remember that TIME waits for no one.
Friends are very rare jewels indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us.
Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you from someone else, then you'll know you have a CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.
Yesterday, is history.
Tomorrow, is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called,
The present
