Today was the day. When my project team gave me a touching farewell. For all the toil of the past three years. I was overwhelmed by the sincerity & warmth in their parting thoughts. We joined as a team to work in a very difficult & hostile environment three years back. I was pushed to the forefront to bear the brunt and had the onerous responsibility to shield the entire project team in adverse circumstances. All the pain & torment I had to endure in ensuring the project took off and moved forward was no pain nor worth complaining when some of those who had seen it all with me expressed their gratitude in true & sincere emotion. I have experienced this on a few occasions earlier too. There is nothing more rewarding in life than receiving words of gratitude and deriving a sense of true fulfillment. What were your touching moments in your life in professional, social or relational sphere?

I am an emotional guy. Get touched by a lot of things which are much simpler... I love the nature and even getting wet in the rain feels me complete. Professionally too there are many events which touched me. But I think the best was the stay and the farewell at the Army Training Base where I was stationed for 4 months to impart training to the Great Soldiers... probably the best experience I ever had as a Teacher.

sids: so, the emotional side of thesids-we are emotional deeper inside, no matter the world is getting hard & tougher by the day. Proof enough that human relations still rest on the subtle sensibilities.

I left my hometown and went back to this big metropolis city to strive for a living again, alone. I got back home on Nov 5th and got the train ticket for Dec 8th. Even though I had been staying at home for over one month this time, it's still heart-breaking for me to leave mom and it's unbearable to see her tears. I thought I could control myself not to be too emotional and I would withhold my tears, yet when I saw mom's tears, I couldn't help weeping too. The train was 6:30pm and it would arrive by 6:30am the next morning. After a long night's travel on the train, finally I got off and went back to my renting room in this prosperous city. Then I called mom to tell that everything was going smooth, and I heard her saying this: I couldn't focus on anything and sat beside the clock till 6:30pm then I know your train started. I waited until 7pm beside the clock, then went to do the house chores. This morning I wake up at 5:20 and I know you must have waken up then. Until 6:30am then I know you got off the train... Tears running through my cheeks upon hearing my dear mom saying this. Is there anything that I can do to pay back your love mom? That is to let you live a happy life. I'll surely do my best to build up my family and live together with you, enjoying every moment with you.

Determined for Success - With a firm resolve, one can be confident of succeeding

Hello waazula: I had read your response the same day you posted but I'm so sorry, I could not respond back immediately. Like you, I'm also leaving home for a distant place shortly.

. But I have grown up, so I can manage my emotions now. But the way you described how you sad you were feeling going away from your loving mom, I didn't know how to respond. But don't worry, your mom will be happy soon after you get going in the new city with your life.

One very touching moment for me was having the National Archives of my country getting in touch with me requesting to archive my webpage. That meant so much to me because I am not a computer saavy person but when A special friend passed away I wanted to do a tribute webpage to help keep his music alive. Afriend who designs webpages offered to do one for me for free but I wanted to do one myself, I wanted to do a webpage from the heart, so I did and at the start had a lot of not so good feedback as it was pretty rough while I was learning as I am doing it in "Word" rather than a programmed maker, so when I got the email asking for permission to archive it meaning my webpage will be available for people to see for ever, will still be there long after I am gone and availble through every library with in Australia was a very touching moment for me.
