A LESSON FROM THE SEPTEMBER 11 EVENT...

Today marks the 11th memorial of a gory event that caught the attention of the whole world and affected many lives in no small disastrous measure.

On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, 19 hijackers took control of four American flights and caused a great terror.

Today, I choose to send my warm greetings to friends and families of those who were affected directly and indirectly by the terrorist act.And I also write to salute the sense of calm,courage and great faith with which a great people and nation-America forged ahead and fought terror in their best possible way.

............

In life too, no matter what comes our way~even the unexpected,we need great faith, and a deep sense of hope to forge ahead as individuals and as people from nations of the world, into the unforeseeable future. Times like this require exceptional virtues and a great message of hope, can never be overemphasized in facing these challenges.

Your great friend!
