ထိပ္ဆံုးသို ့

တစ္ေတာင္ေပၚ တစ္ေတာင္ဆင့္
ေတာင္အျမင့္ ပတ္ၿခံ  ့ရံ
တစ္ေတာင္ဆံုး ျပန္ေတာ့
တစ္လံုးက်န္ ျပန္ေပသမို႕
ဖန္ဖန္ေလ အားအင္ႏႈိးလို႕ရယ္
ႀကိဳးေလွ်ာက္ရျပန္။

ခါတေလ တကယ္ပန္းတာေၾကာင့္
ေတာ္ပါျပီ ဆက္မလွမ္းခ်င္ဘု
ရပ္တန္းက ရပ္မယ္ၾကံ
အမွန္ေတာ့ ျဖစ္ႏိုင္မလား။

စခဲ့မိဟာေပါ့
တစ္ေန႕မွာ ဆံုးရာေရာက္ပါလိမ့္
အားေလွ်ာ့ကာ ဆုတ္ခ်င္စမ္းပါနဲ႕
စိတ္ႏြမ္း အသာေျဖဦး။

မာလာေငြ ကန္ေရေအးရယ္ႏွင့္
ငွက္ေတးကို အာ႐ံုဆင္လို႕
မူတသြင္ အားအင္သစ္လိုက္ပါ့
ခ်စ္ဖြယ့္လူသား။

သူငယ္တန္းကေန (၁၀)တန္းထိ က်က္ခဲ့ရသမွ်စာေတြထဲမွာ ဒါကိုအၾကိဳက္ဆံုးပဲ။ အရမ္းေကာင္းတယ္။

Don't Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.


Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.


Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.


Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Inspiring Dance!

This story is so touching and I actually cried when I watched the video. The story, combined with the dance and the music, is really heart-breaking as well as inspiring.
Hope you enjoy!

READ THE STORY BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO.

Here's their story ...

In a Chinese modern dance competition on TV, one very unique couple won one of the top prizes.

The lady, in her 30's, was a dancer who had trained since she was a little girl.
Later in life, she lost her entire left arm in an accident and fell into a state of depression for a few years.

Someone then asked her to coach a Children's dancing group.
From that point on, she realized that she could not forget dancing.
She still loved to dance and wanted to dance again.
So, she started to do some of her old routines, but having lost her arm, she had also lost her
balance.
It took a while before she could even make simple turns and spins without falling.
Then she heard of a man in his 20s who had lost a leg in an accident.
He had also fallen into the usual denial, depression, and anger type of emotional roller
coaster.
But she determined to find him and persuade him to dance with her.


He had never danced, and to "dance with one leg .... are you joking with me? No way!"


But, she didn't give up, and he reluctantly agreed thinking, "I have nothing else to
do anyway."
She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because he had no concept of using muscle, how to control his body, and knew none of the basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually, they came back together and started training seriously.
They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air.
He could bend horizontally supported by one leg with her leaning on him, etc.

In the competition, as you will see, they dance beautifully and they legitimately won the competition."


Don't let the system get u down!
