Bom Bunuh Diri Di Gereja Kepunton Solo / Minggu 25 September 2011

Malaysia Ekspor Teroris ke Indonesia

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID,JAKARTA--Pengamat intilijen Muhadjir Effendy mengatakan, penerapan internal act security membuat Malaysia dan Singapura aman dari serangan teroris. Hal itu karena setiap pergerakan teroris yang ingin mengacau langsung dicegah intelijen sebelum rencana aksi dijalankan.

Akibat aturan ketat itu, kata dia, teroris di Negeri Jiran itu tidak mendapat cukup ruang untuk bergerak. Sehingga mereka berpindah tempat dan beroperasi di Indonesia karena lebih leluasa dalam menjalankan aksinya. Kondisi tersebut terjadi karena kewenangan intelijen hanya mengumpulkan informasi di lapangan, dan fungsi penangkapan dilakukan polisi.

"Akibatnya banyak aksi teror, seperti di Solo. Ketika Indonesia banyak ekspor TKW ke Malaysia, mereka malah mengirim teroris ke sini," ujar Muhadjir, Rabu (28/9).

Karena itu, ia setuju kalau kewenangan Badan Intelijen Negara (BIN) ditambah dengan fungsi penangkapan. Dengan begitu, setiap gerakan mencurigakan teroris bisa langsung diantisipasi secara dini. Ia yakin dengan kewenangan penangkapan, intelijen bisa bebas leluasa bekerja dan mendesak ruang gerak kelompok teroris.

Terkait kemungkinan penyalahgunaan kewenangan (abuse of power), Muhadjir meminta hal itu tidak perlu ditakuti. Pasalnya era demokrasi yang dianut Indonesia berbeda dengan Orde Baru. "Jika BIN melakukan kesalahan, kita bisa kontrol ramai-ramai dan secara ketat," kata Rektor Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang tersebut.

P.S. I just want to share with you the sentiments of some of the Indonesian people and media towards Malaysia.

Hey ibrahim ali Where Are youuuuu ?

PM announced that bumi quota will go and affirmative actions should be based on meritoCRAZY. I say , hey , ibrahim ali , where are you. you are the one that makes the loudest noise whenever the position of the malays are challenged , in this case the quota lah. challenge lah the pm on article 153 , special position of the malays in the article lah ??? the poor malays deserved aids but not the rich cronies.

Community Chest of Malaysia

The Community Chest of Malaysia is a charity foundation founded by the generous group of local tycoons with an initial fund of RM100million to assist and boost the quality of education for the Chinese and Indian schools. The funds will be provided thru the gaming Company, Pan Malaysians Pools Sendirian Berhad. Thanks to the kind gesture of these kind tycoons, who truly have the welfare of fellow Malaysians at heart, there appear a glint of hope for the non-Muslims of this country. After 54 years of rule, and as the situation deteriorates every day, there is a common agreement that we do not expect such consideration from the ruling government.

My abhorance still stands that helping the Malays certainly does not mean discriminating or stifling the advancement of the other communities, especially in education. We have the capacity to realise that a sack of rice will only last a season but learning to farm can last us a lifetime. Education is the ultimate tool to lead us through life.

So hail the tycoons for the golden gesture. They are the true Malaysians that walk tall!

Dari Malaysia Boleh Menjadi Malaysia...! Part 1



P.S. Click at the image for better view.

LMAO!!!

"We'll help you become professional riders, T'ganu tells Mat Rempits".........lol, coffin business should be a good investment in Terengganu now. Or we should invest in a collapsible stadium, so we can 'clean' up all the mess in one go? Hmm.......

sure boh?

"Materialistic society paying a high price for choosing status over their needs" refer The Star.....are we referring to the 'badak' who crave for diamond bangles and designer handbags bought from our money? I guess so.......but the title should be "Society is paying the high price for choosing a materialistic 'hippo' who thirst (lol, not that Thirsty Hippo that we bought for 'sucking' moisture') for lavish stuff"

15Million for 15 Chinese School in Penang

Wahhh , that's good man.

After seeing that our blog site seem to be very quiet , I might as well post something here for discussion purpose. Our PM came to Penang to give out 5000 bicycles to form IV students participating in the ride and in conjunction with that , RM15 million was handed out to 15 Chinese Schools in Penang , what a good deed indeed. Should've done this long time ago lah , bro , why only now and I am not at all excited although I would say it is Good indeed , better late than never. There are still many schools in dilapidated condition and they also need fund , particularly my Alma Mater in Nibong Tebal . I say , dear PM , why not fork out more of your money and donate or the fund that has been given out as commission for the purchase of submarines ???? or even sell of one or two of the handbags rosmah has been carrying around , I think that should help alot.

My wife read me the news in Kwong Wah Jit Poh ( as I don't read Mandarin ) and I saw some of the big pictures in the paper , KTK at one time was cycling beside PM and another , he disappeared. Apparently he fell somewhere along the ride , probably knocked down by some riders in Yellow T shirts. And yes correct , there are riders in Yellow T shirts , particularly CM and his secretary and some other members. What a mischievous act , hoh ????? if I were to take part , I will also wear all YELLOW , including pants and underwear. One funny part in the paper was the remark by CM , I did not push KTK during the ride hoh!!!!

Hope more rides will come and more hand outs as election is around the corner , but please lah , don't use our public fund , please use the fund from your cronies or your proceeds from the gemstones or the many handbags. - AnSoN

Are you sure this is a mouse trap ??

It is routine for me and my family members to glance at the mouse trap whenever we are in the car porch [to see if we caugnt any tikus]. The catch success rate is about one-mouse-a-week., and today was one of those "lucky days".......



yup!...another catch..

????????????????

??????????????????????????????????????????




Hey!.....wait a minute....


My eyes must be playing tricks on me....




Aisayman!...............ini bukan tikus la....


Today caught two birds instead of the rat.
These are members of my wake-up call choir.
I think they are "telling" me to build the bird house and bath on my male mango tree [satu biji mango pun tadak] which I have been thinking about. Wow!...they can read my mind [real scarry].


Okay, I'll build them [hopefully by this week]


Meanwhile, off you go and don't try this trick on me again.
I love you guys.

Advantages of Good Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping is one area most small business owners would love to forget about. Unfortunately, some of them actually do forget about it, resulting in mad scrambles for receipts and other financial information at tax time and the close of fiscal year. The trouble typical business owners have with bookkeeping is the time and effort involved. In small business settings especially, owners are so wrapped up in attending to every other aspect of running the day to day operations of the company that there is simply no time left over for bookkeeping. Inadequate bookkeeping is often the product of overworked entrepreneurs. But in spite of the fact that it gets ignored completely so often, this area of small business financial management is among the most critical.

Take for example my wife (Associate Professor-Economist) who had this habit of keeping daily records and updates (Bookkeeping) on her expenditures and incomes ever since her childhood days. No money spent will be unaccounted for, and every purchase has to be meaningful. Take a look at her book… bookkeeping. I tried to understand the figures and sums but I couldn’t. As it is I believe she’s the only person who can understand her kind of bookkeeping.

Many company owners and self-employed entrepreneurs avoid things like debits and credits or journal entries like the plague. But this attitude only ends up costing them money in the long run, meaning they have to work even harder to keep up simply because they're robbing themselves of cash flow that could be gained with greater efficiency.

Bookkeeping is something no company ought to ignore. As a matter of fact, it's an area that can't be ignored for too long without major financial repercussions. To get a sense of why this is so, we need to look at what it means to keep the books and how this works impacts the operations of a company.

A simple bookkeeping definition might go something like this: bookkeeping is the recording of the financial transactions of a business. In accounting terms, it is the very first step in the whole bookkeeping process. If this step is not attended to, things like paying taxes can become a real challenge. When bookkeeping is done well, the accountants have the ability to perform reporting, classifying, and analyzing a company's financial data as well as these other tax related activities. Without accurate and detailed bookkeeping efforts, it is hard to know what kind of financial shape a business is in. Owners can't really devise long term plans or set goals without a sense of the direction things are going financially. So, accurate bookkeeping is essential to a company or an individual.

Bookkeepers have many responsibilities, some of which may vary depending on the situation. In any case, their job typically consists of organizing and tracking receipts and making sure expenses are properly noted as soon as purchases are made. The first thing my wife will do upon reaching home after shopping is to go straight into the bedroom. “Catitan dulu!”  Meaning she want to update her bookkeeping, organizing and tracking receipts and making sure expenses are properly noted.

Advantages of Good Bookkeeping: Bookkeeping does not directly contribute to the profits of a small business (although some bookkeepers would argue otherwise), but the work of bookkeepers is extremely important to the financial well-being of companies. The services of a bookkeeper help the books to stay organized and to remain up to date. There are many other important reasons to make sure bookkeeping is done right.

One of the main purposes for bookkeeping is cash flow management. Making sure you are on top of your books helps you ensure you have the necessary cash flow to support the day to day activities of the company.  This kind of data will support the kind of analysis that allows you to stay on track and to maintain adequate cash flow to keep things moving forward.

P.S. Due to diligent bookkeeping habit of my wife and prudent housekeeping on my part my household has never experience serious cash flow problem or living on credit… In another word every month is a surplus!

Jalur Gemilang will be changed if the Pakatan Rakyat comes to power.

Below is the full extract taken from The Star Online Sunday September 18, 2011. “DAP distances itself from Mano.”


PETALING JAYA: DAP has dissociated itself from a statement by state assemblyman M. Manoharan who continues to get flak over his remarks to change the Jalur Gemilang if the Pakatan Rakyat comes to power.

Adopted 26 May 1950 (original 11-point star and 11 stripes)
16 September 1963 (current 14-point star and 14 stripes)
Design Fourteen horizontal stripes alternating red and white; in the canton, a yellow crescent and 14-point star on a blue field


Calling the suggestion “stupid”, DAP publicity chief Tony Pua said the Kota Alam Shah assemblyman's statement did not reflect the stand of the party or the Opposition coalition.

“It is something completely stupid. He does not speak for DAP nor the Pakatan Rakyat.
“We have no plans to change it (the Jalur Gemilang),” he said.

Selangor executive councillor and state PKR leader Elizabeth Wong said Manoharan was entitled to his own opinions, but she disagreed with his statement.

“It is not the agenda of the Pakatan Rakyat to change the Malaysian flag.

“Our focus is on reforms outlined in our Buku Jingga,” she said.

Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad of PAS said it was not a priority for the Opposition to make any change to the national flag.

“It is not an issue at all. What we are focusing on is how to better manage the economy to benefit the rakyat,” he added.

On Friday, Manoharan was reported to have said the Jalur Gemilang should be modified as its current design resembled Barisan Nasional's flag and did not reflect Malaysia.

He added that he had distributed DAP flags in his constituency on Malaysia Day as “he did not have the heart” to wave the national flag.

Manoharan later posted an apology on his Facebook account and took down his earlier posting.

Meanwhile, social media users have lambasted Manoharan for his unpatriotic remarks about changing the national flag.

Facebook user MatRasip Manap said Manoharan should not have uttered negative statements about the Malaysian flag.

“You shouldn't have done what you did. Fellow graduates of UM like me aren't proud of you,” he said.

Arasu Malaysia said as a lawyer and assemblyman, Manoharan should think before making such statements.

Another Facebook user Ili Liyana Mokhtar said his statement was uncalled for.

“Pick your battles wisely. It looks like you are running out of ideas. Shame on you,” she said.

Faizalharedz posted on his Twitter account that the DAP leader was sowing hatred to gain political mileage.

“It shows that he is politically immature.

“He should be proud to wave the national flag,” he said.

Source of the above article: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/9/18/nation/9


However he had posted an apology on his Facebook.

“I am a Malaysian. Very patriotic. I apologise if my comment on the Malaysian flag has caused any inconvenience to you all. Thank you,” he wrote.

When contacted by The Star earlier, he said Jalur Gemilang should be modified as its current design resembled Barisan Nasional's flag and did not reflect all Malaysians.

Manoharan, who distributed DAP flags in his constituency on Malaysia Day yesterday, said he “did not have the heart” to wave the national flag.

He also said Jalur Gemilang bore similarity to the American flag as well, which confused many tourists at first glance.

Manoharan had posted on his Facebook wall that he “refused to fly the Malaysian flag because it looks more (like a) BN (flag) than Malaysian,” according to a report by the newly-launched portal The Mole.

He later wrote on the same Facebook posting: “We don't have a world class flag. Americans are laughing. Please go to America with our flag. Before that make sure the American Embassy grants you a visa to enter.”

He voiced concern for Malaysians working in non-govermental aid organisations overseas who might be hurt as they could be mistaken for Americans as the two flags look similar.

Insisting the national flag needed modifications, he said he might propose for changes to be made if Pakatan Rakyat came to power.

Source of the above article: http://thestar.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/9/17/nation/9521485&sec=nation 

Yes the one thing I am proud of about the Malaysian Flag is it's similarity to the American flag. So what's wrong with that folks? When you are living outside the country the sight of the Jalur Gemilang flying high in TV (National Geographic, Discovery, CNA, CNN, History, Al Jazeera, and other channels) gives you a sense of pride. You can see it, you can feel it! The later is a symbol of superiority and if the Malaysian flag is associated to superiority that's fine.

Quote: "Manoharan, who distributed DAP flags in his constituency on Malaysia Day yesterday, said he “did not have the heart” to wave the national flag."

This is where ISA comes in handy... Oppps sorry I didn't mean EO.

 

Kediri City-location of the Kediri Kingdom; a Hindu Kingdom in the 11th century.

My recent (29th-31st July, 2011) travel to Kediri City and the nearby provincial cities.


Kediri City is located near the Brantas River in the province of East Java. Geographically, Kediri City lays between 110˚ 47’ 05” – 112˚ 18’ 20” East Longitude and 7˚ 36’ 12” – 8˚ 00’ 32” South Latitude. It is bordered with Gampengrejo Sub districts in the north, Wates Sub district and Gurah in the east, Grogol Sub district in the west and Kandat Sub district in the south. The City area is about 63.40 Km2 and is 105KM from Surabaya City; which is about 3-4 hours bus ride. The city is a major trade center for the Indonesian sugar and cigarette industry. Cigarette brand Kretek is from this city.

In front of the hotel, Kediri City

Today Kediri City is well known to both domestics and foreign tourists for its beautiful tourism objects and historical value. This area is surrounded by mountain and has a lot of nature scenery which makes its air cold and fresher than elsewhere. Kerajaan Kediri (Kediri Kingdom) is one of old the oldest kingdom in Java Island. Archaeological artifact’s discovered in 2007 appeared to indicate that the region around Kediri may have been the location of the Kediri kingdom, a Hindu kingdom in the 11th century.

Kediri was a Hindu Kingdom based in East Java from 1045 to 1221. In 1045 Airlangga divided Kahuripan into two Kingdoms, Janggala (based on contemporary Malang) and Kediri, abdicates in favor of his sons to live the life of an ascetic. He died four years later. In 1068, Virarajendra, the Chola king of Coromandel, conquered Kedah from Srivijaya. The Cholas continued a series of raids and conquests throughout what is now Indonesia and Malaysia for the next 20 years. Although the Chola invasion was ultimately unsuccessful, it gravely weakened the Srivijayan hegemony and enabled the formation of regional kingdoms based, like Kediri, on agriculture rather than trade.

In front of "Monument Gumul, Simpang Lima". This is the ‘exact’ replica of L’Arch de Triomphe Paris. The main purpose of this monument was a center of activity in the city which is marked by a large building and also use for multi-function hall. This building has meeting rooms, the auditorium and decorated by the dome on the top.

Kediri collected spices from tributaries in southern Kalimantan and the Maluku Islands, known to the West as the Spice Islands or Moluccas. Indian and Southeast Asian merchants among others then transported the spices to Mediterranean and Chinese markets by way of the Spice Route that linked a chain of ports from the Indian Ocean to southern China. In 1117 Kamesvara became king of Kediri and ruled until 1130. He married a princess of Janggala and reunited the two kingdoms founded by Airlangga.

 
As usual where ever I went I'll have 2-3 ladies by my side to 'make-my-day'. Picture taken on the 31st July, 2011 with the Kediri maidens in front of Monument Simpang Lima Gumul. It is one of the newest iconic buildings in Kediri City.

In 1135 Joyoboyo acceded to the throne of Kediri and ruled until 1157. Joyoboyo's reign was a golden age of Old Javanese literature. The 'Prelambang Joyoboyo', a prophetic book ascribed to Joyoboyo, predicted that Indonesia would be ruled by a white race for a long time, then a yellow face for a short time, and then gets independent. The Joyoboyo prophecies also mention Ratu Adil, the Just Prince, a recurring figure in Javanese folklore. Many other literary works were produced, including Bharatajuddha Kakawin, a Javanese version of the Mahabarata by Mpu Sedah and his brother Mpu Panuluh. This work was published in 1157. During the reign, Ternate was a vassal state of Kediri.

Bukit Daun Hotel and Resort is the best hotel in Kediri. The resort is close to the hill of Willis Mountain, has a big swimming pool with water boom. This time I had 4 ladies in waiting.

Kediri fell in 1221 when Ken Arok, the lord of Tumapel, defeated the forces of Kediri at the Battle of Genter and founded the new kingdom of Singhasari.

Do not bite their bait

Home Ministry: Media Licence to remain until after study
Star Saturday, September 17, 2011.

Now, has the PM outjumped the gun or as usual trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the rakyat again? Or his own Ministry acting in total defiance of the boss?

Barely 24 hours elapsed, when he announced on tv that the yearly renewal requirement for media licence will be abolished and today, the Home Ministry indignantly specified that the case has to be studied before implimentation can be realised!

Please do not be confused and gullible. We know that the whole episode is a ruse to trick us in voting for BN. Mark them, their tails are showing. Another announcement said the other abolishments can only be acted on after the coming election!

Stupid liars!

Flip Flop King


Nazri Aziz, the loud-mouthed Law Minister in PM's Department at his best again. It gives one the creeps how a senior Minister can goofed unabashly.

At one point, he did not believe that the Police use the Emergency Ordinance (EO) on petty thefts.

"If it is true, I am surprised. The EO is meant for hardcore criminals; not for petty thefts like stealing motorbikes. I don't think the Police are using it on petty thefts. Prove me wrong!" he challenged.

After the Police explained that they indeed do use the EO on petty crimes, Nazri admitted and turntailed and ate his own words. That ignorant and shameless creature.

"I understand their (Police) difficulty. It is not for me to tell them how to go about their business. It's tough for me as a lawyer but I believe the Police know what they are doing."

And that's that! No decision of his own and he is supposed to be the nation's Law Minister!

I think Malaysia is a country ruled by clowns but why choose fools to rule us?

More Liberty for Malaysians

The announcement made by the Prime Minister of Malaysia regarding the repeal of the ISA and two other Emergency Laws may appear very appealing as it would be the start of an era of more freedom for Malaysians.
However, with the track record of flip-flopping and about turns in many of the things he had announced in the past, it is very difficult for me and many other Malaysians to place our hopes on what he said in his Message to Malaysians on Malaysia Day.

The second thing about the licensing of the press, here we see a welcome change and renewal of license for publication of the news media need not be done annually.  However, the Home Minister still holds the power to suspend and cancel the license of a newspaper should he feel that they are publishing something that is not suitable for the security or well being of the nation.  This is not acceptable and should not be part of his role!  If news publishers break the law of the nation, they should be dealt with by the law not a man with wide powers!

Please note that there will be laws enacted to replace the ISA.  How draconian will these laws be?  We have yet to see!  To me, what is announced is but the sugar coating that so many of us longed for, but inside, the BN government wants to retain the bitter pill!

Sequence of Leaders

I came across a few leaders in this sequence
1. First one inherited Freedom which was given without a fight but glorified as freedom fighter that gave us
    the nation today , anyhow a better and most liberal leader who has the compassion of his people at heart.

2. Someone claimed that he allowed the incited clash among different groups with his cohorts to overthrow
    his predecessor who is his boss too. ( Back Stabing loh ). Is he not considered as collaborating with
    the barred idealogy since he visited the big country that practices this type of governance , during his
    tenure as leader ?

3. The once thrown out by the first leader but taken back during the 2nd's gain of power who eventually
    inherited the helm when this 2nd Tuan died untimely. Now this 3rd leader is the most crooked that caused
    disparity and most disintegration among the populations. Retired but still as active as ever to also caused
    the downfall of his successor whom he groomed and passed down his helm to.

4. Considered the most stupid one who sleeps thru' most of his sessions. Given many promises to his
    people but did not make it happen. A liberal person and weak to the cause of his downfall despite the
    first big win to subsequent downtrend of popularity and being forced out of office.

5. The next generation of 2nd leader whom also has the blood like the father. Too many speculations on his
    involvementes in scandals including explosives , military scandals , continuation of 2nd chapter famous
    scandolous case of his opponent similar to the one during the 3rd leader's tenure. Many sweet promises
    of transformations and still going on , you may be convinced , I am CERTAINLY NOT.

6. Potential and upcoming new leader whom is his race first and nation 2nd which is in conflict with what
    his current boss preaches as nation first. Also another stupid and extremely biased person who is no
    good if we allow the continuation of this inheritance.
    WE MUST CHANGE and LET THE ALTERNATIVE CAMP TAKE OVER THE LEADERSHIP.

     No Worry no more ISA but can still go in thru' many other means.

OLD CB FOTOS - 1

Woody-invincible bro, your prayers are answered.
In memory of CB [RIP], I will post some of the fotos I shared there.

These are the first three fotos posted on 15 July 2007. They are the wonderful children from Garhi Habibullah, Pakistan [where I was involved in the construction of a relief hospital]. FYI, the mountainous northern region was hit by an earquake in 2005 which destroyed many buildings and claimed many lives.

We stayed at the site and these children will come and kacau us after work. Talking and playing with them was a great way to divert our minds from the misery of the almost-destroyed village.

The "rascals" of the village. The one [2nd from left] with the kungfu kick, I call him "Garhi-Taikor" [he is the leader of the pack].



Osman [left] runs a burger stall with his worker [I called him Michael Jackson and he was thrilled]. In spite of his brother perished in the quake and father with a broken leg and half the house damaged, he allowed us to stay on the top [flat-roof] floor and we slept in UNHCR tents.

I sure miss these children and hope that they are well.

What monkey are you?


The Star Online, Tuesday September 13, 2011. CM: No race required on ‘golden child’ form
 
GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Govern­ment has released the Penang Golden Child Programme application form with no “race” category. 

“This is the first form that doesn’t require you to state your race. From the state’s point of view, it is sufficient that you are a Malaysian citizen. We are all ‘anak Malaysia’,” said Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, adding that the state felt the move was in line with the spirit of the coming Malaysia Day on Sept 16.

Hey man are you from the Planet of the Ape?

However, Lim added that those applying for the state’s Senior Citizen Appreciation Programme would still need to fill out a form with the race category.

 Hey boy what monkey specie are you?

“When we printed forms for the Senior Citizen Appreciation Pro­gramme, we used the standard format. For the purpose of continuity, the future forms will be the same, but for new state-driven initiatives, there is a great likelihood there will be no ‘race’ category,” he said.

Lim also said for programmes that involved both state and federal agencies, the ‘race’ column would be retained.

 Hey babe what monkey are you?

Lim was speaking to reporters after attending a Hari Raya open house at the Penang Development Corporation on Persiaran Mahsuri, Bayan Baru yesterday.



P.S. I felt this is a bit going ‘overboard’ decision… way above politics. I wonder what’s next.

We are asked not to twist history wohhh

We were asked not to twist history by our leaders wohhh. OK , I did not score that good in my history during my LCE and MCE I don't take history anymore as I was in the science stream then. but from the many history books of my kids I can see that all are indroctinated with our gomen's version of histroy , that's rite , histroy amd not history , twisted lah in this case.

I don't remember much about history but I am sure what happens today will go down good in our history hundred years to come , if we still exist as a nation to tell 3 or more generations to come. let's hope the history of today about the mongolian lady who got murdered and blasted with explosives only the exclusive have access to not be twisted and changed. let's hope that the story behind her muder due to some deal on military purchase turned sour also not be twisted. let's hope the death due to "suicide" from the 14th floor due to a meagre 2.4K corruption witness and the sodomee case not be twisted too. - AnSoN

It may save somebody's life.

So here it is, click on the post title to download copy, share with anyone and have a good laugh.

Top 5 Regrets

Below is the article I received recently in my email. I felt the need to share it with all of you.

Top Five Regrets By Bronnie Ware:
For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.
People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someone's capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1.  I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. It is very important to try and honor at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.

2.     I wish I didn't work so hard

This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence. By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3.     I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4.     I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends

Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying. It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.
When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life.
Choose consciously, choose wisely, and choose honestly.
Choose happiness.
