90% vs 10%
someone emailed me this... any comments???
============
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. "Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not."
Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did. Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 90% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 10 %.
Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: "I broke my arm yesterday, Ha ha ha ha . . ." Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.
But wait! That's only 10% of what you don't have. Don't throw away the 90% that you already have! Add to your spouse's 90% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have. But I'm not just talking about marriage. I'm talking about life! About your jobs. About your friends. About your children. About your lifestyles.
Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? "They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!" Guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class - because they're not riding in a private Jet?
The main message: If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are IS first class!
Situations may not always seem pleasant while we are in them, but the promise of God is clear. If we love Him and live our lives according to His precepts, even that which seems to be bleak and hopeless will be turned by God for His glory and our benefit.

remembering 2005...
What I learned last 2005...
- Your family and real friends will be the only ones there for you through thick and thin.
- Go for your goals and dreams; Don't let anyone hinder them!
- Riding the MRT sucks!
- Not all people who wants to be friends with you have good intentions.
- Determined people get what they want and losers... just give up!
- Counting the number of friends you have is not as important as knowing who your true friends are.
- Love really moves in mysterious ways.
- Looks can be deceiving!
- A guy who doesn't want to commit is just not that into you!
- Buying pirated DVD's is cheaper than paying for original VCD's.
- First impressions don't last!
- If your good, so many people would want to see you go down...
- Fairytales do come true...
- Everybody has his own potentials and skills. Therefore, everyone should be given chances.
- Next to my family, my hunny bunny is the most wonderful person in the whole wide world!
