Words of Advice From Rick Warren

[taken from his book]



Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate! Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.

Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.

Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.

Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid
for some of life's more hasty decisions.

And many more...

Feel no need to explain further coz I found that it was such an honour for me to be able to serve the Lord. I only hope God bless Rick Warren and his family. We'll meet again, when God wants us to. In a BETTER atmosphere, I hope :) I'd also thank several ppl during PDM ministry: Gary, Andre, Inggrid, Frida, Hilda, Debbie, Patrick, Joyce, Engel, Via, Mario-- you guys are excellente! Dina-- you've been a blessing in disguise. Oyan, Pak Freddy, Pak Paul Chua, Pt. Dave-- your level of understanding is unbelievable:) Moses-- Brother, I've just begun to know you, but it feels like years. Thx for backing me up when I'm down. All those things I couldn't mention... only God knows that we did it for HIS glory.
