It's just.....work.

Five Characteristics You Need to Excel at Work
by Rick Warren

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people." (Colossians 3:23 TEV)

The Bible identifies five characteristics of people who excel at what they do:

People who excel work with enthusiasm. Regardless of whether the job is big or small, give it your best. Great performers give their best effort, no matter what the size of the audience: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people" (Colossians 3:23 TEV).

People who excel sharpen their skills. They never stop developing, growing, learning, and improving: "If your ax is dull and you don't sharpen it, you have to work harder to use it. It is smarter to plan ahead" (Ecclesiastes 10:10 TEV). It takes more than desire to excel; it takes skill! Remember: You're never wasting time when you're sharpening your "ax."

People who excel keep their word. They are reliable. They can be counted on to do what they say they'll do. They excel because people of integrity are rare in our society: "Everyone talks about how loyal and faithful he is, but just try to find someone who really is!" (Proverbs 20:6 TEV)

People who excel maintain a positive attitude. Even under pressure, change, or unrealistic demands, they don't allow themselves to become negative: "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life" (Philippians 2:14-16a NIV). And remember: "If your boss is angry at you, don't quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes" (Ecclesiastes 10:4 NLT).

People who excel do more than is expected. This is a secret that every successful person has discovered. You'll never excel by only doing what is required. Jesus said, "If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously" (Matthew 5:40-42 MSG).

The Broadway lyricist Oscar Hammerstein once told the story of seeing the top of the Statue of Liberty from a helicopter. He was impressed because of the incredible detail the artist had sculpted on an area that no one was expected to see. In fact, the Statue of Liberty was completed with no idea that man would someday be able to fly over the statue!

Talk About It
When you're tempted to cut corners, thinking, "No one will ever know," remember that God is looking down and sees everything you do. Give him your best this week!

她曾说。。

觉得好友有了新恋情后，该疏远，应给多些空间。

却不知，友谊也一样重要。

另一方面，两男不能共存。太难接受。

还是一句话，没时间，没力气。工作已经是个 terrible pain in the ass了。

烙印在彼此心里的，永远不会忘。友谊和爱情万岁。晚安了。。

10 Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Healthy breakfast 1: Porridge and berries

Use oats and skimmed milk to make your porridge, then add any berries such as strawberries, raspberries or blueberries and honey. This is a great healthy breakfast to start the day as the oats have a low GI (Glycaemic Index) this tells us that oats do not raise the blood glucose level very quickly, which is good as it can help stabilize the appetite. Just go easy on the honey!

Healthy breakfast 2: Beans on toast

Beans (whether they are just ordinary baked beans or kidney, borlotti or black eyed beans) also have alow GI like oats. They are full of soluble fiber, which helps keep you full for longer and can therefore help you manage your weight. Serve the beans on Granary™ toast and pass on the butter; a great, low-fat breakfast.

Beans on toast, a healthy breakfast option

Healthy breakfast 3: Bagel with reduced fat cream cheese and smoked salmon

Bagels are high in starchy carbohydrates, which help kick start the body into action for the day after a fast of at least eight to 10 hours. The smoked salmon provides the body with omega-3 fat which is essential for the body. Many of us eat far too much saturated fat (which is bad for us) and not enough omega-3 fat that is vital for our health.

Healthy breakfast 4: Fruit and yogurt

Try adding your favourite fruit to a small pot of low-fat or diet yogurt for a healthy breakfast. A small pot of yogurt counts as one of your three portions per day of dairy foods, essential for the teeth and bones.

Healthy breakfast 5: Bacon, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and toast

For those of you who can’t resist a cooked breakfast at the weekends try this. It really is a healthy twist on a traditional fried breakfast. Grill the bacon, tomatoes and large, flat field mushrooms - there you go, a healthy cooked breakfast!

Healthy breakfast 6: Crumpets and fruit spread

Crumpets are a starchy food (they should be the basis of every meal). The only problem with crumpets is the tendency to add lots of butter to them. Try a fruit spread, a great way to top them without adding all the calories and fat in butter.

Healthy breakfast 7: Muesli and soya milk or low-fat milk

Swiss-style muesli has milk powder added to it, which increases the calcium content of this healthy breakfast cereal. Add calcium-enriched soya milk or semi-skimmed milk and you have a bone-friendly breakfast!

Healthy breakfast 8: Pure fruit juice and iron-fortified breakfast cereal

Next time you are in the cereal aisle at the supermarket, spare a few minutes to check out the labeling on the packets. Not all cereals are equal when it comes to the vitamins and minerals that are added to them. Iron is a mineral that is added to many healthy cereals such as sultana bran or bran flakes. Also drink a glass of pure fruit juice such as orange or grapefruit as the vitamin C that the juice containshelps your body to absorb the iron more easily.

Healthy breakfast 9: Smoothie

If you really can’t face breakfast try to have a smoothie instead. If you fancy trying to make one yourself (easy if you have a hand blender) then fruits such as berries, apples and bananas are great with some milk. All those antioxidant vitamins in the fruit help boost your immunity and make for a great healthy breakfast.

Healthy breakfast 10: Scrambled or poached egg on Granary™ toast

Eggs are not bad for us! It is what you do with them that can make them bad. Poaching or scrambling eggs with a little milk is a good way to incorporate them into your diet — they provide valuableprotein. Scrambled eggs on toast is a much better healthy breakfast choice over a fried egg sandwich.

到什么时候

每天做工都是这种感觉。。

喘不了气！

One of those..bad days..

One of those days where emotions went down n down under, bursting w tears at one moment.

One of those days the thought of ending it all came resurfacing again. And where dreams come flowing back hoping to find some fit in the picture.

One of those days I forced myself to get off on time to make time for God and God's people.

Just one day of the many in my life, experiencing the peace and joy like the aftermath of a fierce battle. You just keep realizing how minute you and your plans are. Acknowledging His abundance in gracious supply. Knowing that all these, shall pass.

Learning, to keep the peace and joy..while waiting for that one moment of decisiveness, if necessary, to reveal the hidden treasures lined up for me. Just, stay close.
