grass area.
Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher:
Student : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Can you please help me?
Teacher : (Silent for few second, than he answers) Well, it's a pretty hard and easy question.
Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???
Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. O n your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.
Student :Well, ok then... wait for me... (Walk straight ahead to the grass field).
A few minutes later...
Student : I'm back.
Teacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand.
Student : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any. Because you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.
Teacher : That's what happened in real life.
What is the message of this story?
* Grass - is people around you
* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you
* Grass Field - is time
* In looking for your soul mate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one.
By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime. Remember "Time Never Goes Back".
It is the same when finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business. Therefore the morale is LOVE and grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!

Do you agree with the writer?
Have you ever fallen in love in such a way that you can never ever love like that again? Or can you still be happy with someone else even though you may not love her/him the same way?
But how would one know it is love? Would you say commitment is greater than love in that you may not really love that person but you are still with her/him because of your solemn wedding vows/commitment?
Do share your thoughts. I would love to hear your views/experiences.
KS Cheah Hi MWS,
I have a 36 year old foster daughter who has decided to marry a 24 year old private in the army. Career wise she is doing much better than him. It will be her second marriage and she has daughter from the first. She recently become a Muslim and the guy she wants to marry is the younger brother of a married guy (30 years old) who could not get out of a so-called broken marriage to marry her.
Would this then be a case of, "...the morale is LOVE and grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!" as the author puts it?
Actually she is not vampish nor the vixen that I may be making her out to be; quite the opposite actually. She says it is LOVE and I have been telling her to get real!
