THIS IS ALSO MY OWN SOUND FROM HEART. WISH THE WORLD A REAL PEACEFUL ONE!!!
Imagine
John Lennon (Beatles)
Imagine there's no heaven,
it's easy if you try,
no hell below us,
above us only sky.
Imagine all the people,
living for today yu-huh.
Imagine there's no countries,
it isn't hard to do,
nothing to kill or die for,
and no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
living life in peace yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will live as one.
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
no need for greed or hunger,
a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people,
sharing all the world yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.

YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT ENOUGH
You really need to be patient in Africa. Examples are followed.
Well, yesterday I had a business travel from B city to L city. I waited at the airport for the one hour delay of flight, which is very normal here.
Early afternoon today, I went for a meeting. The distance is not far from where I stay to the venue, it is just ten minutes drive if there is no much traffic. Anyway, I left for the meeting 40 minutes earlier. The road was very tight, and spent 30 minutes just to catch up for the meeting.
I hurried to the conference room as scheduled. There were some people there, and we greeted each other. My colleague and I found surprisingly that they were having a presentation! When we entered, they were taking a coffee break.
So phone calls were made. We were guided by phone to one storey lower to Room 801. Nobody there. So we reached Room 818, which was the alternative place we could find someone related. The lady who announced for the meeting was on leave. The man on duty told us to try Room 821. Still no human beings there. We strode back to the previous office for assistance. We were lucky that the warm-hearted young officer really tried his intercom. Before we were told the meeting would be held in another annex building in the next yard by acting staff, one hour had elapsed.
The meeting took about 50 minutes. It was an extremely tough one.
Immediately when the meeting closed, I called the driver, who I told to wait for me nearby. I waited for 50 minutes with repeated calls at the exit. Standing in the early afternoon African sun was not enjoyable at all with the temperature over 30 degrees Celsius. When being asked why taking such a long time, the driver answered:
“I went back to the headquarter office.”
“Why? I told you to wait for me here, because the meeting will not be long.”
“I am not allowed to park inside.”
“You can park outside for free of charge.”
“There was no space at that moment.”
This is life. You need to be patient enough for most of the time if you don’t want to get yourself annoyed. However, smile is still with me now.

When you need a hug, I'll be there.
When you need someone to hold your hand, I'll be there.
When you need someone to wipe your tears,
Guess what? I'll be there.
