The only thing that will matter is how special the moments that have been shared. The difference it makes to bring a lot of good purpose that we could be a better person in the future. This is what really makes sense at all. The love and care will never be left without serving its true meaning, to be of a source of inspiration, to be of a important and valuable individual to our family and love ones. It becomes much more special when you know just within your heart, that the time have been so kind and beautiful during those good days. The true essence of love is letting it live and stay to the special corner we have set aside , for that special someone. Through the years, so we can look back and smile, and be thankful as well that we become a part of each other.

They always show a boldness and drive and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Like all Oxen, they are completely trustworthy and dependable, but they are not ones to display their emotions freely or openly. These Oxen have the strength of steel, with a will to match. Often, this strength and ruthless will make it difficult for them to identify with the feelings of others around them. However, an Ox is always willing to defend what he knows to be true and won’t give up until he has proven what he knows to be true.&lt;br /&gt;They are naive when they think about other people's secrets. They cannot fully understand the feelings of others, and seldom cheat others to win their love. Poetry and serenades seldom appear in their lives, even the gifts they give will be durable and practical. Since people born in the year of the ox are quite traditional, it may take a long time for a man born in the year of the ox to propose marriage to a woman. Such a man may be broad minded and maintain good order, but when he proposes marriage to a pretty girl, he will become clumsy and slow in speech. If you happen to be married to him and trust him completely, he will never disappoint you and will be loyal to you all his life. Although he cannot give you mounds of diamonds, or chests of leather clothing, he will try to make your life as comfortable as he can, and never ask for your help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People born in the year of the ox are very patient. But they can be horrible if they lose their tempers. At such times they will lose their senses and attack those who hurt them like angry bulls. The only way to cool the anger of a person such as this is to stand away from him and let him cool down gradually. But there is no need to worry, they will not get into a fight unless they are driven beyond the limits of forbearance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People born in the year of the ox have their feet planted on solid ground, and they are not swayed by their emotions. If you ask for their advice on some problem, you will find their support to be quite reliable. All of them have good physiques, and are seldom sick, they trust themselves and never compromise. They show contempt for other's weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second in order, Chinese name—NIU, sign of industry&lt;br /&gt;Hour—1am-2:59am Month—January&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHARACTERISTICS&lt;br /&gt;Obstinate, Pouty, Truthful, Motivated, Friendly, Apathetic, Genuine, Quick-tempered &lt;br /&gt;The Ox is a lover of stability, a great traditionalist and a homemaker. Rarely would you expect an Ox person to be an extrovert pleasure-seeker. They are happiest in the peace of their own home territory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE OX ON THE JOB&lt;br /&gt;Able, ethical and aware, colleagues of the Ox will marvel at their methodical approach and will depend on their eyes for detail. Oxen are not phased by routines, probably because they are so well-organized&lt;br /&gt;. They are better-suited for specialized positions and prefer to work in large companies. They do, however, work best when they work alone since they can be unhappy when participating in a large group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FRIENDS AND ENEMIES&lt;br /&gt;Oxen are not the most sociable people and tend not to mix easily in social gatherings. Instead, they would rather be at home, enjoying their privacy and anonymity. Unlike the Rat, the Monkey, or the Rooster, the Oxen tend not to have a little black book, preferring a few very loyal friends to a large network of acquaintances. Oxen do know how to shine at social occasions, but more often than not they dislike small talk. These are wary people, unlikely to ignite friendships on the spur of the moment. They like to take their time and get to know people before disclosing themselves fully. A happy, solid relationship with their partner and children is the most satisfying goal they could accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;THE OX LOVER&lt;br /&gt;Oxen dislike chit-chat. They don't have fun at parties and as aforementioned, don’t have a ton of friends. They are not very sociable and would rather be spending their time at home with their families. When the Ox is in love, he does not confirm his feelings verbally, preferring to show you how he feels rather than tell you. An Ox will take a long time to decide if you are the right match for him because Oxen hate change, and want to find someone who is ready to embark upon a stable marriage. Oxen never rush into anything and are not flirtatious people. Once they have committed to you they will usually be faithful and expect reciprocation of their honorable actions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE OX LOVE PARTNER&lt;br /&gt;Oxen are strong, silent, reliable people who sometimes take for granted that their relationship is a partnership and that they make not always be the dominant figure. Other Animals may find them quite stubborn and overbearing. Chinese horoscopes are very specific about which partnerships have the potential to be successful in love and in business. Yet, though destiny can point us in the right direction, we must still make all efforts to maintain loving relationships&lt;br /&gt;AQUARIAN OX&lt;br /&gt;This duality combines a light spirituality with a predictability quite unlike anything you’ve ever seen. They contradict each other in a way, but value free-thinking and intelligence.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/886743963206169806-7766545204730517780?l=rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com/feeds/7766545204730517780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=886743963206169806&amp;postID=7766545204730517780&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/886743963206169806/posts/default/7766545204730517780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/886743963206169806/posts/default/7766545204730517780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com/2008/11/year-of-ox.html' title='Year of the Ox'/><author><name>Ric</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj91/Lycentia_imvu/previews_sticker/th_chinese_ox.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886743963206169806.post-4690186118604274878</id><published>2008-10-07T00:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-07T00:38:55.190-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Style /Personal'/><title type='text'>Individuality</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n309/devilishlove24/individuality.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n309/devilishlove24/individuality.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone is unique.

It could be refine if the intention is on a positive change, but to make a complete turn around to individuality could be absurd.

Urban living gave way to daily interaction with people from all walks of life. My environment during those times goes well with the said lines. The daily routine goes on with intermingling with all sorts of people, each had their kind of story, their way of life. Environment plays a vital factor with perseverance. Knowing how harsh life might be,this give inspiration to set a goal, to try to achieve something different, to divert to a finer way of life, for a little change or bigger if it might be. This is where one should stand to reach out and dare to be different. It might also serve as a good model to his predecessors. &lt;br /&gt;That life might be little bit different, if we will only have the desire to have a goal. Parents enlightenment begins with the words, of their will to change the life of their children, to deviate from the hardships that they been through, the sacrifice they gave brings the fruit of success and passion to their children.

Basic human needs are one major factor that most work hard to gave their love ones some of the important and beautiful things this life could offer. It is interesting to note that in order to gain the fruit of success needs a lot of hardwork and sacrifices. The amount of time spend would sometime or almost steal some quality period of our life that could have been shared with our love ones. The sad part is that after the goal have been achieve..the people you want it to share were already gone and past of their prime.

Truly there's no such perfect formula on how to a relationship will last with the test of times. Within the mind, the scene that only evolves will only serve as a wish, for no permanent situations could reallly be attain as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Partners with all the love and passion on their heart should work on continous harmony. Its a magic how two people fall regardless of race, age, personality and belief but on the other hand, keeping the flame alive and finding each other takes a lot of effort on both side. The goal might be on the will to understand, to give respect, to value honesty and trust along with the love deep inside the heart. Quite easy to say but on reality an enormous task to achieve.

Just like any creatures, the tendency to garner a space to settle down could be one of the many factors that brought about the birth of conflicts which in the long run became enormous that results into what we called war. As each nation advance to progress, the race to gain a larger part of geographical areas and vast natural resources became the optimum goal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;On war there were no winners but only losers and these had been proven time and again. Still, the tendency to wage one always persist. History relates some of the gorry phases of some conflicts not only within nations but inside each society within the country. The flights and sufferings of all the victims as well as their love ones will forever stay in their minds. For decades, all of these doesnt seem to bring awareness and lesson.

Very nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an interview with Rick Warren, author of 'Purpose Driven Life' His wife now has cancer, and he now has 'wealth' from the book sales.  In the interview by Pau l Bradshaw with Rick Warren , Rick said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;'People ask me, 'what is the purpose of life?' And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in HeavenOne day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body--but not the end of me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense. Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness. This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer. Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems. If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, 'which is my problem, my issues, my pain.&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;'But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her. It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people. You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy. It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease. So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases. Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church. Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation. Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)? When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know you more and love you better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; God didn't put me on earth just to fulfil a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Happy moments, PRAISE GOD. Difficult moments, SEEK GOD. Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD. Painful moments, TRUST GOD. Every moment, THANK GOD.

We meet people friends, comrades, pals, all kinds of people..different attitudes, lifestyles, gimmicks and the like.During each phases of our life, some unforgettable acquaintances and the most , great memories of people that touches our life one way or another makes us think it over and sigh of the impact it brought that change and contribute to our perspective, be it on negative or optimistic view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best is the learning process we have pick up, throwing all the bad ones and keeping the best. Reality denotes that we cannot have everything we wish that this world could offer, but in the long run, what would matter most is how we have taken our part to other people lives. I have heard of some person that have given her best to guide the path of some who had been down because of negligence and feeling of not being loved. Assurance of a helping hand and sharing of love make a difference on people who feels the the world had torn them down. Love isn’t hard to give, its in the willingness of the heart that construdes to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Our Destiny have been written for a purpose,  which could be for the good of ourselves and the people that would cross our path and will be part of our life. Just like falling in love, which is one of the most mysterious phase, we cant choose whom to love, not by mind..not by desires..but by heart..and the love by heart, knows no barriers , no reasons..but the intense feeling it has , deep inside. It sees beyond beauty, beyond physical attraction..it sees deep within the person, it sees not by the eye but by the heart. Falling in love cannot be planned, it just happens, just like a knockdown! stunned by the magic of love! no amount of happiness could deter what a heart full of love feels!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Our Destiny could be well taken on a light stride of accepting and giving the love, that’s bound to be in our life, to stay happy and share the most beautiful feeling the Lord had given to us…in HIS time..in HIS ways..in HIS plan. Love ..and give the best of love as naturally as it goes..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/886743963206169806-4182354908677662930?l=rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com/feeds/4182354908677662930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=886743963206169806&amp;postID=4182354908677662930&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/886743963206169806/posts/default/4182354908677662930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/886743963206169806/posts/default/4182354908677662930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com/2007/11/our-destiny.html' title='Our Destiny'/><author><name>Ric</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886743963206169806.post-431753207984418805</id><published>2007-11-20T09:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-20T09:19:16.550-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Without Your Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;I can see no reasons,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;No directions..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;On every road i thread..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Without your love..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I would find and seek the farthest places,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;  Enduring friends, finest people..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;But it would lead me nowhere and find no meaning&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Without your love..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I could reach my earnest dreams and goals,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The best this life could offer..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;But it would not matter..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;For my heart , body and soul..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Woudnt last no more..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Without your love..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I would wander far..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Pursue and seek happiness beyond&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;But "nothing else matters"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Without your love..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Because Love is You...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;And You are my life..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/886743963206169806-431753207984418805?l=rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com/feeds/431753207984418805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=886743963206169806&amp;postID=431753207984418805&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/886743963206169806/posts/default/431753207984418805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/886743963206169806/posts/default/431753207984418805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rick-insightsandvisions.blogspot.com/2007/11/without-your-love_20.html' title='Without Your Love'/><author><name>Ric</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886743963206169806.post-3195098331478248438</id><published>2007-11-06T09:46:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-07T06:43:45.457-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Welcome to my new blog!
