To Be A Listener
Father pl. leave Niklas alone
Why You need someone
always around
Try to live Your own Life
Pl.don't bother others
They have to enjoy their own Time
Niklas has to be inside His Home
enjoy His TV Shows
not on broken Sofa
Try to be alone
You are not Old
67 is not Old
Stay away from Niklas
don't make His Life a
Hell leave Him alone
Thank You
My Dear Friend
It is a beautiful Morning whole night
was rain and thunder so everything
had a good shower looking fresh
and in a great Mood
Now in the morning drizzling very
light no Sun no cloud just a clear
Neutral atmosphere
I am all dressed up and ready to go
My friend is here to pick Me up
now I am working at the desk
in My Cubicle in the library
My school friend from Sydney Australia
writes every day Message on My
face book as I am in Toronto so it
is a night and day sort of thing
I mean the time difference she writes
at nigh and I read in the morning
We were not even in the same school
Our houses were nearby more than
half a century back We did only 2 years
of High school together
We were in different Faculties in
University She was in Zoology and
I was in Microbiology
After 1964 We got busy in our after
marriage sort of business that is babies
household and also Work
Nearly 25 years after I met her in Dubai
for couple of days then nearly 15 years back
she was at My Place in Toronto for overnight
Now she lives with her son in Sydney
We are at that stage of our Life that
We now wont see or meet each other
We know that for sure still She never
miss a day writing each and every
detail of her day to day activities
how she feeling the weather and so on
She has to move now to Perth to her
daughter as her Son going to sell
his house and will build a new one
It will take about a year She shares her
sentiments We being in same age group
can relate the situation
I am writing all this to elaborate the
value of sharing it is enough to relax
when you have trust that someone
listening
Never hesitate to talk about your feelings
your day to day activities it is a
Blessing from God if you have someone
there who is listening to you
Communication is always great you
can get rid of your unseen fear of
Days and years to come
Keep connected to have Peace and
Happiness also be a good listener
to others God choose You to be
there for His Creatures it is an honor
to be a Listener
I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Even though it is Monday, there are lots of customers here.
ReplyDeleteWe are really selfish most of the time and especially when we are in a mood of self pity. We want others to listen and really if somebody is there to listen, it makes a lot of difference. We feel happy that people do care for us and we are not alone. However, we forget that now it is our duty to listen and give time to others.So again a very good reminder from Smile to share our feelings and listen to others when they need us.

SWS was fun. There are some managers who also join these walks. People were saying TGIM (Thank God Its Monday) and now we get to read 3 blogs.
DeleteTiara
SWN was fun too. We talked about Smile's blog from today and the fact that Smile has so long term relationships. This is an indication of how level headed she is despite all her achievements

Dear Madam Smile,
ReplyDeleteYou so good. You friend build big house in Australia. You friend want friend with you since 1964 because you share. I go job worker and I say her I want share my feeling with you. She say why? I say her because my Madam say sharing good. She say she need go right away. Mr. Supervisor come and say what happen because the job worker say you tell feeling. I say yes because my Madam say tell feel good. He say you Madam mean different. He say remember you Madam say no tell blog. I say I no tell blog but tell feel only. I think he head hurt because he hold head. I say you need tell feel to. He say he need make phone. I do 2 very proud job and always read blog
Dear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from two days ago. Some of the retirees are still suffering from cramps also. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog.
The retirees were very surprised to read the blog. We did a quick poll after the blog to determine who has the longest relationship outside the family and found out that the longest relationships are less than 20 years, though one retired lady has been keeping in touch with a friend for 27 years. They dont talk regularly but do send each other Christmas cards every year. The retired communication expert requested you to share some additional insights about how this is doable because in majority of cases, people have a falling out due to various issues
Thank you so much for your continued guidance to us

This blog provided me with a perfect ice breaker for my business meeting today. The meeting was to talk about a fractious relationship between our company and the vendor. and I started off with this blog. And voila !! Smile's blog did the trick. Instead of yelling and screaming at each other, we instead started off on the right foot and discussed things in a civil environment. At the end a very fantastic meeting.
ReplyDeleteI just on my way from the meeting but thought I will post this comment before I close my laptop
Smile is fantastic!! She knows how to talk sensibly!!
Thank you Smile

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteThe Dean read my comments to you and was extremely appreciative of the efforts put by me and the professors. He bought a cake to the SRC to celebrate. He was thinking of calling it "Celebrate in style" but one of our marketing professor who was involved in the thesis work changed it. It was called "Celebrate with Smile". The Dean asked one of the students and a professor to go to the cake shop to get this inscribed on the cake itself. Afterwards he gave a very flattering speech to us and also mentioned you.
Thank you so much for the guidance that you have been providing to us.
