Short stories- Greatness

My focus for the past half month: Catching up with friends, Yoga and reading.

Haven been taking photos, so here's short stories:

During one of the trainings for THK charity, we were taking pictures with Nat. (Yes, that cute man on TV). I wanted to have one photo with Ben who was busy reading his scripts. I told Nat & he walked over and told Ben about my request. Nat said in mandarin:"Just ask & you'll get it."
Yes, he's right. Just ask.

I sell chicken rice for a living.
Customer A demanded a refund because he complaint that my chicken rice tasted terrible.
The next day, he came and refused to pay because he demanded that I should give him a bigger portion of chicken.
The third day, I told the troublesome customer A to patron another chicken rice stall.
My sisters, Ah Lye and Ah Loy told me that I should appreciate customers' feedback & look into the quality and quantity of my chicken rice and improve on it.
Driving the customer away does not solve the problem.

I love yoga but there are some weird poses that I fear to even try.
Diamond pose, shoulder stand etc. I still go for Hatha, hot and gentle yoga for BEGINNERS.
Just this afternoon, my master wanted us to try on Diamond pose. Something that I couldn't do for the past few months.

M: " Now, put your heels close to your hip and lift up. Please try and stay as long as possible. You may relax once you think it's enough."

Upon hearing this, I knew he wasn't looking at my direction and I gave up on trying and decided to enjoy the cool air and used the towel to cover my face.

Happiness is short-lived.

M: "Try."

J: "I can't"

He didn't take this for an answer. He gestured me to get up and with one helping hand he lifted me up.

M: "See? You can."

Yoga taught me that sometimes we need a helping hand, a word of encouragement and most importantly, nothing is impossible.
