Three types of persons in our life journey

I have read an article in a Chinese newspaper a few months ago and I would strong feel that it makes sense in our life journey that we could possibly face or encounter everyday.

In our life journey, we would encounter three types of people. They are as follows:-

1) A person who is always loves, cares, helps you and never expects a return favour from you.

2) A person who is always hurts, cheats and makes use of you.

3) A person who is never loves, cares, helps, hurts, cheats and makes use of you.

Now close your eyes and figure out who are the persons that fall into each category mentioned above in your life journey?

The persons who fall into the first category are our parents, brothers, sisters, wife, children and best friends.

The persons who fall into the second category are our business competitors that always try way and mean to spoil our reputation, a friend who always cheat and makes use of us for achieving certain thing, some of our colleagues etc.

The persons who fall into third category are our neighbours, some colleagues, some passers by in our life journey etc.

Which category of people you encounter are the most in your life journey? The third category follows by the first category and second category.

Of course, the persons in the third category could possibly become first or second category as our life journey progress. It would greatly depend on your inner self, approaches, efforts and sincerity towards ones friendship.

Now we see from different angle on how great achievement and success you are in term of number of persons in each category you have in your life journey.

When the number of persons in the first category increases and reduces or even none in the second category, you are great. In the other way round, when you appear to become one of the persons in ones first category more than the second category, you have achieved a great success in your life journey.

So, which category do you think you are in ones heart and mind?

Get ready some tissues...You are very near to No.1 type of people to me...

I have a lot of No.1 people around me...parents, in law, sisinlaw, Sa ko, auntie/uncles, wife.

No. 2 & No.3 also a lot...it does not matter, may we love them more they love us so that we could live a lively life truly to our faith in the Lord.

Importantly, we must be able to accept the outcome and appreciate the mixture of such group of people in our life. We may not be able to avoid totally but we could encourage and changed them...

Previously (during teens) you are also quite like the people who only keep to yourself...but know you are a better person and able to also help a lot of people. Keep up the good side of you..Thank you for being my great buds.

Where has all my tissue box go???? :-)

You are the first category of people to me and not forgetting my bro, sis, bro-in-law, my uncle, auntie, cousin.

From time to time, No.2 & No.3 could possibly become our No.1 too.....
