MOM'S WORDS TO ME.
written on her blog.

One can only control own actions and comments but not what others say or do to you. End of the day if your conscience is clear that you have not done or say anything to hurt others and yet you find yourself at the receiving end, being blamed, then you should remind yourself that what others want to do or say is beyond your control. One can only be fair to everybody but one can never please everybody.

To be weighed down by what others say or do to you is never positive or productive. If the accusations are untrue, by all means tell your side of the story. But if the accusations are done behind your back without hearing your version of the situation, the next question will be whether it requires your explanation. If it’s not too serious let it go and be at peace with the knowledge that it’s not your fault.

If it's serious enough and need clarification, ask if immediate response is required because with certain situations time will automatically reveal the truth. This tells you to be patient and at peace with yourself, when you are at peace with yourself the accusations will not affect you. A peaceful person gets strength from a clear conscience, strong enough not to be swayed by false accusations.

Remember, you can only be fair to everyone but you will never be able to please everyone. If you can achieve this you will be at peace with yourself and at peace with everyone.

;Even though its rather difficult for me to understand the entire passage because i dont really have such a smart brain afterall, at least i managed to catch what my mom was trying to say to me. I really love my mom for being there for me all the time and being the most understanding mom, ever. Sometimes i think about it, we hardly have fights, seriously. Its only a little pickering here and there but overall, my mom's relationship with me is awesome. We hardly quarrel, thats cause i think we really understand each other even if we both dont say a word. I LOVE YOU MOM :] We're gonna have a great kickass time in Phuket! -finally a year where you can relax during the hectic Chinese New Year and without the stress of your parents [WHOOPS! did i just say that?] geez, LOVE YOU MOM, again.
