改变自己 Before thinking of changing others and what more changing the world, first we must change ourselves... Change the way u treat people...change the way u think of a problem....change the perception of an obstacle... To us, we uses our hard earned money to enjoy a Japanese buffet....but a new jacket...to buy properties....or even to go for a holiday.... 
But to those who are in the 3rd world countries, each penny they have is an opportunity to live another day, or to get a piece of cloth to cover themselves or to learn how to write their own name... I never thought, someone who grew up in New York City...and who's earning millions annually would have such a big heart...  He has sponsored 10 children in Laos and in 2007 he decided to trade his usual Thanksgiving Day with mouth-watering stuffed turkey together with his family for crickets and rural villagers in Laos....Thanksgiving is the only time Lee Hom get to go back home and spend it with his family...However, he felt that Thanksgiving is not just about spending time with your loved ones...but it also means being thankful for what we have... I cried watching the documentary featured Lee Hom's expedition in Laos...Click here to view...Part 1 & Part 2 
Dressed only in a simple tee & jeans, he brought music with him and thought his foster kids the beauty of music...He never did mind about the language barrier (even though he mentioned it was his biggest obstacle), or living in a hut built by wood & nipah leaves...also not having water supplied to the home and electricity... 
To be honest, my impression on Lee Hom was that he's a home boy...and he came from a pretty wealthy family...So he must have got everything which he has ever wanted... But after this moment, my perception on him changed...He's not just an artist...He's also a noble man... 
Frankly, asking myself am I able of putting my luxurious lifestyle behind at this point of time and live in a rural area where poverty is the biggest issue...I don't know...There would have a lot of "what if" and "how can i" kinda questions...Major issue is language...And understanding myself, I'm not quite a adventurous person....or even a risk taker... 
But this man here could...And for that I respect him, not just for his talent now...But also for his big heart... No doubt I love him...Is there any reason I shouldn't love him more than Jay?? Not because of his looks...or great voice...but mainly because he cares... 
He is really the HERO in my heart!! Heart him to bits...(and because we are so compatible - both of us can't eat spicy!!) Love you, 力宏!! |
