He has a high spirit which is essential in the fighting cancer.

A grandmother aged 51, diagnosed with lymphoma stage 1 a year ago, her treatment went through smooth. She doesn't even suffer hair dropped. She looks great and cheerful.

A young business woman aged 34, still under treatment for lymphoma stage 1. She is calm in dealing with this and with the support from her husband.

A poem to share:

Don't quit

Don't quit when the tide is lowest

For it's just about to turn

Don't quit over doubts and questions

For these is something you may learn

Don't quit when the night is darkest

For it's just a while till dawn

Don't quit when you've run the farthest

For the race is almost won

Don't quit when the hill is steepest

For your goal is almost nigh

Don't quit for you're not a failure

Until you fail to try

However I have to attend a technical meeting at Damansara at 11:30am, I left the discussion earlier. Afternoon, I went back to Sime Hospital for my monthly check up. The blood counts are normal. Dr Alan said he GVHD is starting burn out, he like to reduce the medication now.

What a legacy to leave behind… In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better life" for his wife and children to follow.May you be blessed by his insight.

POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

Personality:

1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment

3. Don't over do; keep your limits

4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does

5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip

6. Dream more while you are awake

7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..

8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.

9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.

10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present

11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you

12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

13. Smile and laugh more

14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Community:

15. Call your family often

16. Each day give something good to others

17. Forgive everyone for everything 18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6

19. Try to make at least three people smile each day

20. What other people think of you is none of your business

21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.

23. GOD heals everything

29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it

30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.

While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with, people you play with, people you work with and people you live with.Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.
