awkwardsituationist:

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well recognized fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

and now i’m crying.

“Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.”

“Every time I call you mine, I feel like I’m forcing it, as if saying it can make it so. As if I’m reminding you, and reminding the universe: mine. As if that one word from me could have that kind of power.”

“When you try your best but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?”

Happiness VS Success

Wed, 15 May 2013 00:53:13 +0800

“What will make me happy?” and “What will make me successful?” are two of the most important questions you can ask yourself. But they are two different questions.

“Friends can be a pain. They can be demanding and hard work. But maybe that’s because they’re the wrong friends. I read a quote once, can’t remember who by, but they said that your friends aren’t necessarily the people you like best, they’re just the people who got there first.”

“Maybe we don’t have to give meaning to every little thing.
Maybe we don’t need the Universe to tell us what we really want.
Maybe we already know that, deep down.”

“We can’t jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined. We can’t take skinny dips in the ocean, because there’s no service on the beach and adventures aren’t real unless they’re on Instagram. Technology has doomed the spontaneity of adventure and we’re helping destroy it every time we Google, check-in, and hashtag.”

A Final Embrace: The Most Haunting Photograph from Bangladesh

A Final Embrace: The Most Haunting Photograph from Bangladesh:

Many powerful photographs have been made in the aftermath of the devastating collapse of a garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. But one photo, by Bangladeshi photographer Taslima Akhter, has emerged as the most heart wrenching, capturing an entire country’s grief in a single image.

“Every time I look back to this photo, I feel uncomfortable — it haunts me. It’s as if they are saying to me, we are not a number — not only cheap labor and cheap lives. We are human beings like you. Our life is precious like yours, and our dreams are precious too.”

“What is the ultimate purpose of life? It’s to give. Start giving. See the joy of giving.”

“Every single one of us has seen something so devastating that it has broken us. When we see things like this, most of us feel it deeply but we manage to pull ourselves back together and go on with our lives. But thank god, there’s people on this Planet like Narayanan Krishnan who can’t”

A group of students from NTU followed a migrant construction worker for a day and made a video. Here’s a glimpse of a day in Sudha’s life.

好難得

Wed, 01 May 2013 14:17:27 +0800

好難得在地球上七十億人之中，我們握住彼此的手；
好難得在一生的兩萬多個日子裡，我們相擁走過一段路；
好難得在你的人生風景，曾閃過我的名字和我的樣子。

無論最後我們有沒有走下去，
每段相處都是彼此生命中，獨一無二的好難得。
