The Great Grocery Store Mix-up

 Once, I went to the grocery store to pick up some essentials for the week. I had a list and knew exactly what I needed, or so I thought.

As I walked through the aisles, I saw a man who looked just like my neighbor, Dave. I walked up to him and said, "Hey Dave, what are you doing here?"

The man looked at me confused and said, "Uh, I'm just shopping for groceries."

I realized my mistake and apologized, feeling embarrassed. But then, as I walked away, I noticed something strange. In my cart, I accidentally picked up all the items that the man who looked like Dave had in his cart.

I quickly found the man and explained the situation, but he just laughed and said, "No worries, let's just switch carts and call it a day."

Feeling relieved, I continued shopping, but the mix-up didn't end there. As I was checking out, I realized that I had accidentally picked up a carton of eggs that was cracked and leaking. I rushed back to the egg section, but all the cartons looked the same, and I couldn't remember which one I had grabbed.

Feeling defeated, I went to pay for my groceries, only to realize that I had left my wallet in the car. I had to walk all the way back to the parking lot and retrieve it before finally paying for my groceries and heading home.

As I unloaded my groceries at home, I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous series of events that had occurred at the grocery store. Lesson learned: always double-check your cart and don't assume that the person next to you is your neighbor!

The Story of My Life ZackSaim

The Pandemic Date 25th July 2021. It is been 2 days after my first dose of the Sinovac Vaccine. We had been cooped up in the house since the first Lockdown (MCO 1.0) Movement Control Order which was announced on 18th March 2020.  I had not gone to work for almost one and a half years now. Although I still have a job, my salary had been affected by almost half of my full salary.  During the second Lockdown (MCO 2.0) which was in November 2020, We decided to open a burger stall in front of our home. Since people can’t move around to buy food, We just thought that We sell homemade burgers to our neighbors and friends. Well, it’s been 7 months, now. We named our burger stall “Bay-6 Burger”  Why Bay-6? Bay-6 is a short form for Basic. The pandemic really teaches us to be humble and back to earth again. In every sense of the meaning. Back to basic, when you hit the reset button.  I am in the hospitality industry and we use the word Bay a lot. Bay as to where an airplane is parked.  FAST FORW

Rule 7 Know Who You Are

  A friend of mine was diagnosed with a very serious illness. Of Course people kept asking her how she was, what was happening with the treatment, what she was and wasnt able to do and how could they help. She found this very frustrating and in the end she sent round an email to everyone saying that she really appreciated their concern and their offers of help, but she didn't want to talk bout it thank you. She explained to me that it wasn't that she actually minded talking about the illness per se, it was that she felt she was starting to be defined by it. Now this particular friend of mine is amazingly resilient and had an instinctive recognition that in order to cope with her diagnosis she had to separate it from her own identity. She had to go on being the same person she was before she became ill and, for her, that meant discouraging other people from talking about it. She didn't want her friends to see her only in terms of her illness, because - more importantly - s

Chapter One What I Believe

Image
  Life Is Really Very Simple. What We Give Out, We Get Back What we think about ourselves becomes the truth for us. I believe that everyone, myself included, is responsible for everything in our lives, the best and the worst. Every thought we think is creating our future. Each one of us creates our experiences through our thoughts and our feelings. The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences. We create the situations, and then we give our power away by blaming the other person for our frustration. No person, no place, and nothing has any power over us, for "we are the only thinkers in our mind. When we create peace and harmony and balance in our minds, we will find it in our lives. Which of these statements sounds like you? "People are out to get me." "Everyone is always helpful." Each one of these beliefs will create quite different experiences. What we believe about ourselves and about life becomes true for us. YOU CAN HEAL YOU
