有一天......一個失戀的人在公園哭泣.....
這時一位哲學家走來... ..
輕聲的問他說'你怎麼啦？為何哭的如此傷心'
失戀的人回答說'嗚~~我好難過....為何他要離我而去'

不料這位哲學家卻哈哈大笑，並說'你真笨'

失戀的人便很生氣的說
'你怎麼這樣，我失戀了，已經很難過，你不安慰我就算了，你還罵我'

哲學家回答他說
”傻瓜...這跟本就不用難過啊...真正該難過的是他”

因為你只是失去了一個不愛你的人...
而他卻是失去了一個愛他的人及愛人的能力'

●試想
→跳出框框外的正面思索，將有助於困惑的排除。

有位老師進了教室，在白板上點了一個黑點。
他問班上的學生說「這是什麼？」
大家都異口同聲說「一個黑點。」

老師故作驚 ; ;訝的說
　　
「只有一個黑點嗎？這麼大的白板大家都沒有看見？」

●試想
→你看到的是什麼？每個人身上都有一些缺點，
→但是你看到的是那些呢？
→是否只有看到別人身上的'黑點'
→卻忽略了他擁& amp; #26377;了一大片的白板(優點)？
→其實每個人必定都有許多的優點，
→換一個角度去看吧!!你會有更多新的發現。

有二個婦人在聊天，
其中一個問道「你兒子還好吧？」
「別提了，真是不幸哦!!」這個婦人歎息道：
「他實在夠可憐，娶個媳婦懶的要命，不燒飯、不掃地、
不洗衣服、不帶孩子，整天就是睡覺，我兒子還要端早餐到她的床上呢!!」

「那女兒呢？」

「那她可就好命了。」婦人滿臉笑容
「他嫁了一個不錯的丈夫，不讓他做家事，全部都由先生一手包辦，
煮飯、洗衣、掃地、帶孩子，而且每天早上還端早點到床上給她吃呢!」

●試想
→同樣的狀況，但是當我們從我的角度去看時，就會產生不同的心態。
→站在別人的立場看一看，在對方的角度想一想，很多事就不一樣了，
→你可以有更大的包容，也會有更多的愛。
→有包容才有愛，只有愛不懂包容，一切皆枉然。

法國一個偏僻的小鎮，據傳有一個特別靈驗的水泉，
常會出現神蹟，可以醫治各種疾病。

有一天，一個拄著拐杖，少了一條腿的退伍軍人，
一跛一跛的走過鎮上的馬路，旁邊的鎮民帶著同情的回吻說：
「可憐的傢伙，難道他要向上帝祈求再有一條腿嗎？」
這一句話被退伍的軍人聽到了，他轉過身對他們說：

「我不是要向上帝祈求有一條新的腿，而是要祈求祂幫助我，
叫我沒有一條腿後，也知道如何過日子。」

●試想
→學習為所失去的感恩，也接納失去的事實，不管人生的得與失，
→總是要讓自已的生命充滿了亮麗與光彩，不再為過去掉淚，
→努力的活出自己的生命。
→我一直如此深信著,也一直如此活著。

有個老人在河邊釣魚，一個小孩走過去看他釣魚，老人技巧純熟，
所以沒多久就釣上了滿簍的魚，老人見小孩很可愛，要把整簍的魚送給他，

小孩搖搖頭，老人驚異的問道你為何不要？　

小孩回答：我想要你手中的釣竿。

老人問：你要釣竿做什麼？

小孩說這簍魚沒多久就吃完了，要是我有釣竿，
我就可以自己釣，一輩子也吃不完。

我想你一定會說好聰明的小孩。

錯了他如果只要釣竿，那他一條魚也吃不到。
因為，他不懂釣魚的技巧，光有魚竿是沒用的，
因為釣魚重要的不在釣竿，而在釣技。

●試想
→有太多人認為自己擁有了人生道上的釣竿，再也無懼於路上的風雨，
→就如小孩看老人，以為只要有釣竿就有吃不完的魚，
→像職員看老闆，以為只要坐在辦公室，就有滾進的財源。

TO My dearest Friends,

This is really meaningful... take your time to read... (words are in
chinese characters). For those who can't read, just listen to the music and
if can try to get that translated. Is really meaningful.

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen mcnuggets. We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve, "was the reply. "So I can't order half dozen nuggets, but I can order six? "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the Lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."

Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she
was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her lst remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency!

Moral of the Story: Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."

Read Carefully and Understand the Meanings:

Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.

What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?

If love isn't a game, why are there so many players?

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

You can only go as far as you push!

Actions speak louder than words.

The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.

Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it.

A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.

Some people make the world special by just being in it.

Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.

When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.

True friendship never ends.

Friends are forever.

Good friends are like stars....you don't always see them, but you know they are always there.

Don't frown, you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friends leave footprints in your heart.

If u love something...let it go.
If it comes back to you its yours....
If it doesn't then it never was.

A kiss is just a kiss until u find the one you love.
A hug is just a hug until its from the one you are thinking of.
A dream is just a dream until u make it come true.
LOVE is just a word until its proven to u.

SAMPLE OF A MODERN LOVE LETTER

Dearest Samantha,

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in love with you since Tuesday, the 17th of August 2001.

With reference to the meeting held between us on the 17th of August 2001 at 1500 hours, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover.Our love affair would be on probation for a period of no less than three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent.

Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous relationship training and relationship appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover
to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might
take up a larger share of the expenses.However I am broad-minded enough, to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be canceled without further notice and I shall be
considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely, Max

MODERN REPLY TO MODERN LOVE LETTER

Dear Max,

Please refer to your letter dated today. I am pleased to inform you that I hope to accept your proposal for romance.

However, you should be informed that there are certain conditions of acceptance. Promotional prospects are to my satisfaction. However,please enlighten me as to your retirement benefits. Gratuity should be generous.

I also need to be assured that there is sufficient security with regards to this commitment. If there is any chance at all of retrenchment or consequent
disinterest on your part, then I should receive monetary compensation according to union standards.

Due to the nature of my position, I am sure you will agree that an expense account should be arranged for my access in light of the 'VIP'. I shall be
entertaining. In addition, housing and transport allowances should be in order and nothing less than a Jaguar is in order.

Please also note that there should be no moonlighting restrictions placed on myself. If you are still interested in the relationship,please reply on an
urgent basis as other prospective lovers have sent indications of interest.

Please also note that my sister is happily employed.

Yours perhaps, Samantha!

My dear Sevvy..
I love this thread!!!!! :thumbup:
Keep it up..
Although some I've read before, I don't mind reading them again here :laugh:

I have some to share here:-

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself a victim of other people's bitterness, ignorances, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things would be worse. You could be one of them.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

You Know You're Malaysian When...

You complain about the quality of the pirated DVD you just purchased. "What, RM10 for DVD5?! Aiyah, boss ... sound no good, cheaperlah ..."

You're willing to consume sambal petai and durian and gladly suffer the bloating and wind-breaking incidents.

You're exceedingly polite to the Mat Sallehs but you slag your own kind. "Hello, sir. Why don't you sit here, it's got the best view of the city skyline." But, "Aunty-ah, your table is over there next to the kitchen."

You order Maggi goreng and fried chicken, complain about how oily the food is, and then proceed to finish it anyway.

You love to talk about food. You're already thinking about what to have for dinner while eating lunch. "I'm stuffed. What shall we have for dinner?"

You dive into a communal-style meal the moment the dish lands on the table only to hesitate at the last morsel of food on the serving dish. There are two possible explanations for this: the first is the pai seh (embarrassed) factor, while the other is the myth that the person who eats the last piece will be a spinster.

You hit the accelerator the moment the first drop of rain hits your windshield. "Alamak, it's going to rain. Sure traffic jam one. I'd better drive faster."

You seize the opportunity to make a U-turn anywhere ... especially where there is a sign telling you not to. Well, so long as the cops aren't in sight.

You feel a burning desire to send text messages and even have the gall to give your friend a blow-by-blow account of the movie to your friend on the handphone during the screening of the movie. "Okay, now that girl Lizzie is impersonating an Italian singer; she doesn't look so Italian ..."

You forsake your loved ones for the all-important four letter-word: S-A-L-E. "Sorry, mum, I can't take you to Aunt Mary's because I have to go ! to Mid Valley before the crowd." You're also more than happy to be part of the insane traffic jam that forms around malls during weekends and sale periods.

Reality shows Akademi Fantasia and Malaysian Idol dictate your social life. "What, no TV at the mamak? Count me out, I'm staying home. Rinie needs my support."

You pepper every sentence with lah. "No-lah, I can't see you today-lah. I have to study-lah. You know-lah, the prison warden aka mak is watching me like a hawk"

You fail to function normally without your daily dose of teh tarik and nasi lemak.

You have owned at least one Proton in your lifetime. Cheap, cheap. That is until you start to make enough dough to buy that Honda you've been salivating over.

You slow down at an accident site to take down the car number plate, but won't step out of your car to help the victim could be a robber!

You'd rather park your car along the main road outside the mall, where there's a yellow line, rather than pay RM1 to park inside where there are adequate bays.

You plead, bat your eyelids and relate a sob story to the officer at the town council office to let you off the hook (or reduce the amount considerably) for the fine you incurred when you parked your car on the double line.

You make an appointment for 10am and conveniently show up half an hour late Malaysian time, what ???

You pop open the wet tissue packet at the Chinese restaurant by squeezing the trapped air to the top of the packet before proceeding to smash your fist into it. The louder the pop the better.

You greet your friend / neighbour / acquaintance on the street with "How are things?" or "Have you eaten?" or better yet, by stating the obvious: "Went to market ah?"

Ramlee burger is the "piece de resistance" of your growing-up-years cuisine.

You catch all major televised events at the mamak.

You have roughly six meals a day (breakfast, mid-morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper). Then there's the snacking - keropok ikan, pisang goreng, muruku, jam tarts and the like.

You get the whole family dressed to the nines, jump into the car and head for the minister's open house and ask for styrofoam boxes and plastic bags to tar pau (take away) food.

Your accent and language style vary according to the race of the person you are conversing with.

You've got a friendly disposition. Smiles are abundant and your "Apa khabar?" is warm and sincere.

You exclaim loudly how expensive everything is, even though the items may in fact be going for a steal. "Wah! So expensive, ah? Hak sei ngor (Scare me to death)!"

You dig deep into your pockets to contribute to the latest appeal for donations in the newspapers.

You "dis" our country all the time, but as soon as something good happens (like winning the Thomas Cup), you morph into a proud Malaysian.

You never travel abroad without a bottle of chilli sauce, or sachets which you can sneak into restaurants.

You're proud to be Malaysian - and you pass these jokes on to all your Malaysian friends!

Story: 1
A young executive was leaving the office at 6 p.m. when he found CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young executive.

He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO.

As his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy."

Lesson - Never, never assume that your BOSS knows everything

Story: 2
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of ese are you?"

Confused, the Japanese replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean."

The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?"

Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.

The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you? Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc?"

The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."

A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked what kind of 'key' he was.

The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of '-key' am I?!"

The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkey, or monkee?"

Lesson - Never insult anyone.

Story: 3
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, a British and a French, who found this small genie bottle.

When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared.

Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, he said, "Next to you are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true."

The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted "WINE".

The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.

Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka.

The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool.

The last is the British. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, SHIT.........!"

Lesson - Think twice before you say something, because sometimes what you say accidentally does happen.

THREE BEAUTIFUL STORIES TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE

(1) There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl.
This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift
to his girl. Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his
company, his future doesn't seem too bright, they were very
happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going
to Paris and would never come back. She also told him that
she could not visualize any future for both of them, so they
went their own ways there and then...

Heartbroken, the guy pined. But when he regained his confidence,
he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to
make something of himself. Finally with all the hard work and the
help of friends, this guy set up his own company ...

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy
was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the
rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they
were drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his
former girl's parents.

Wanting to get back at them, he drove slowly past the couple,
wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to
know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company,
car, condo, etc.

He had made it! But what he saw next confused him, the couple
were walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car
and followed... Then he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling
sweetly as ever looking at him from her tombstone and he saw
his paper cranes right beside her...

Her parents saw him. He asked them how this had happened.
They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill
with cancer. She had believed that he would make it someday,
but she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had
chosen to leave him.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them
to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had
wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because,
if the day came when fate brought him to her again...he could
take some of those back with him...

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your
mind may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.
The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be
sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her
or be with her ever again.........hope you understand.

Find time to realize that there is one person who means so
much to you, for you might wake up one morning losing that
person who you thought meant nothing to you.
KINDNESS Pays !

(2) One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door
to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime
left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal
at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely
young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought
he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He
drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught
us never to accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then
I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt; stronger physically,
but his faith in God and man was strong also.
He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill.
The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the
big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare
disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.
When he heard the name of the town she came from, a
strange light filled his eyes.

Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital
to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see
her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the
consultation room determined to do his best to save her life.
From that day he gave special attention to the case. After a
long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill
to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something
on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared
to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life
to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught ;
her attention on the side as She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk."
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:
"Thank You, GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through
human hearts and hands."

(3) Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind
of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand
so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said, "No, Dad. You
hold my hand." "What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father. "There's
a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and
something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if
you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will
never let my hand go." In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in
its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love
rather than expecting them to hold urs... This msg is too
short..........but carries a lot of Feelings....

An American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Sri Lankan village when a little boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna.

The American complimented the Sri Lankan on the quality of his fish and
asked how long it took to catch them.
The Sri Lanka replied, "Only a little while, boss."
The American then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"
The Lankan said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.

The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
The Lankan fisherman said, "I sleep late a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife Mary, stroll into the village each evening where I drink and play cards with my friends. I have a full and busy life Boss."

The American scoffed, "I have a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a biggerboat.
With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats.
Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Colombo, and eventually you will run your expanding enterprise."

The Lankan fisherman asked, "But Boss, how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied, "15-20 years."
"But what then, Boss?"
The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is 'Right', you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions."

"Millions, Boss? Then what?"
The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evening where you could drink and play your cards with your friends."

"You mean having a Harvard MBA, you have to go through all that to finally get to where I already am, Boss?"

If you can touch it and you can see it, it's REAL.
If you can touch it but you can't see it, it's TRANSPARENT.
If you can't touch it but you can see it, it's VIRTUAL.
If you can't touch it and you can't see it, it's GONE.

5 DON'Ts when you are sleeping

DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if
you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverse effects
on your health.

DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not encouraged.
Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but please put the
phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items
including mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used.
These waves can cause disruptions to our
nervous system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you,
switch it off first.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.
Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing
and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer time to go
into deep sleep.

DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA (FOR WOMAN) or UNDERWEAR (FOR MEN)
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras or underwear
for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast or testicle
cancer. So go to bed without it.

DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE or HUSBAND
You may never wake up again....

握住屬於你的快樂鑰匙

一個成熟的人握住自己快樂鑰匙，
他不期待別人使他快樂，
反而能將快樂與幸福帶給別人。
每人心中都有把「快樂的鑰匙」，
但我們卻常在不知不覺中把它交給別人掌管。
*************************************

一位女士抱怨道：「我活得很不快樂，因為先生常出差不在家。」
她把快樂的鑰匙放在先生手裡。
一位媽媽說：「我的孩子不聽話，叫我很生氣！」
她把鑰匙交在孩子手中。
男人可能說：「上司不賞識我，所以我情緒低落。」
這把快樂鑰匙又被塞在老闆手裡。
婆婆說：「我的媳婦不孝順，我真命苦！」
年輕人從文具店走出來說：「那位老闆服務態度惡劣，把我氣炸了！」
這些人都做了相同的決定，就是讓別人來控制他的心情。
*************************************

當我們容許別人掌控我們的情緒時，
我們便覺得自己是受害者。
對現況無能為力抱怨與憤怒或為我們唯一的選擇。
我們開始怪罪他人，並且傳達一個訊息：
「我這樣痛苦，都是你造成的，你要為我的痛苦負責！」
此時我們就把一重大的責任托給週圍的人，即要求他們使我們快樂。
我們似乎承認自己無法掌控自己，只能可憐的任人擺佈。
這樣的人使別人不喜歡接近，甚至望而生畏。
*************************************

一個成熟的人握住自己快樂的鑰匙
他不期待別人使他快樂
反而能將快樂與幸福帶給別人
他的情緒穩定為自己負責
和他在一起是種享受，而不是壓力
聖經吩咐我們要「常常喜樂，不住的禱告，凡事謝恩。」
你的鑰匙在那裡？
在別人手中嗎？
快去把它拿回來吧！

Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way
we
treat people.

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor
gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions until I read
the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans
the
school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
cleaning woman several times. She was tall,
dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know
her
name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked
if
the last question would count toward our quiz
grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,
you will meet many people. All are significant. They
deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
is smile and say "hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at11:30 p.m., an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama
highway
trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had
broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next
car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally
unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man
took her to safety, helped her get assistance, and
put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down
his
address and thanked him. Seven days went by and
a
knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a
giant console color TV was delivered to his home.
A
special note was attached..

It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the
highway
the other night. The rain drenched not only my
clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
husband's bedside just before he passed away...
God
bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember
those
who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much
less,
a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and
sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in
front of him.

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and
studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he
inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and
the
waitress was growing impatient.

"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on
the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice
cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress
came back, she began to cry as she wiped down
the
table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,
were two nickels and five pennies..

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he
had
to have enough left to leave her a tip.

4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our
Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a
roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if
anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the
king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by
and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed
the
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the
stone to the side of the road. After much pushing
and straining, he finally succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he
noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a
note
from the King indicating that the gold was for the
person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The
peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve
our condition.

5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it
Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who
was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her
only
chance of recovery appeared to be a blood
transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had
miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to combat the
illness. The doctor explained the situation to her
little brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking
a
deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will
save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in
bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,
seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his
face grew pale and his smile faded

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He
painted a sign advertising the 4 pups, and set about
nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard.

As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt tug
on his overalls.

He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."

"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat of the
back of his neck, "these puppies come from fine
parents and cost a good deal of money."

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then
reaching deep into his pocket,
he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the
farmer. "I've
got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"

"Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a
whistle. "Here Dolly!" he called.

Out from the doghouse and down ramp ran Dolly
followed by four little balls of fur.

The little boy pressed his face against the chain link
fence. His eyes danced with delight.

As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy
noticed
something else stirring inside the doghouse.

Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably
smaller.

Down the ramp it slid. Then in a awkward manner, the
little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its
best to catch up....

"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the
runt.

The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and
said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be
able to run and play with you like these other dogs
would."

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence,
reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his
trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace
running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a
specially made shoe.

Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I
don't run too well myself, and he will need someone
who understands."

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and
picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed
it to the little boy.

"How much?" asked the little boy.

"No charge," answered the farmer, "There's no
charge for love".

Five Gifts You Should Never Give

Giving and receiving gifts is a wonderful exchange that shows we care. One would think that any gift that is given from the heart is good. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. An inauspicious gift is bad news no matter how noble your intentions are. Taken in a Feng Shui perspective, some things are worse compared to others. Here are the top 5 gifts you should never give to anyone.

1) Never Give Sharp Objects

Gifts of sharp objects are actually more popular than one would expect because most people don't see them as such. Examples of sharp objects that are unsuitable as gifts include the following: blade, chainsaw, dagger, hunting knife, letter opener, penknife, scissors, Swiss Army knife, sword, etc (see anything fami liar here).

There are a couple of reasons that make sharp items objectionable. Giving sharp objects as a gift will literally sever the friendship. As sharp objects are a natural source of malicious "killing breath" or Shar Chi, such gifts will result in you unintentionally sending bad luck to your friend.

2) Never Give Timepieces

In the West, timepieces are, in fact, quite well-liked as gifts. These include: alarm clock, wall clock, pocket watch, wristwatch, etc.

Timepieces measure the passage of time and this indirectly suggests a limited lifespan, which is very inauspicious. In Chinese (Cantonese), to give a clock or soong joong sounds exactly like the Chinese term for attending a funeral, which is naturally very taboo.

3) Never Give Red Roses

Did you know that you should never give red roses? Long stemmed red roses with sharp thorns are terrible as gifts. The longer the stem and the sharper the thorns ... the more the relationship will suffer. If you send your lover a bouquet of red roses - romantic and all - it will be the beginning of the end of the relationship.

It is better for you to give cream or pink roses. Feng Shui-wise, yellow roses work even better to help enhance that loving feeling. Remember to have the thorns removed before you deliver them to your lover.

Never send red and white roses to a loved one who is in hospital. These are so inauspicious that in hospitals all over UK, there is the tradition with regards to floral gifts from well-wishers. If bunches of red and white roses or any variety of flowers arrive for anybody, they throw the flowers away immediately and make sure none of them reach the patients. A gift comprising a bunch of red and white blooms are considered to be a DEATH WISH.

4) Never Give Shoes

In Chinese (Cantonese), the word for shoes, 'hai', sounds very much like a sigh. This is very inauspicious as it suggests much unhappiness. A gift of shoes to your friend would be akin to sending bad luck his/her way.

5) Never Give Handkerchiefs

Gifts of handkerchiefs are also traditionally frowned upon. This is because a handkerchief is used to wipe away sweat and tears, which suggests a lot of sadness and frustration. Giving handkerchiefs as gifts suggest that you anticipate him/her to be doing much crying in the future. This generates such an inauspicious chi.

Remedy For Your Predicament

What do you do if you have a really fantastic gift? Something that you know your friend will be truly ecstatic about? Well I have some good news for you. The Chinese have a simple remedy for sharp metal gifts that belong to the first category.

Ask for a coin or some change (make sure it is metal) before you present your gift to the recipient. This simple exchange symbolizes a "purchase", instead of a "gift". Since your friend symbolically "paid" for the item, it is no longer considered a "gift". This uncomplicated remedy works only for sharp metal items.

It's meaningful....

Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his
student lying down under a big tree near a big
grass area.

Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher,

Student : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find
our soul-mate? Could you please help me?

Teacher : (Silent for few second, than he
answered)
Well, it's a pretty hard and easy question.

Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???

Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of
grass
there, why don't you walk there but please never
walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your
way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up
then
give it to me. But just one.

Student : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked
straight ahead to the grass field).

A few minutes later...

Student : I'm back.

Teacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass
on your hand.

Student : On my journey, I found few beautiful
grass, but I thought that I would find a better one,
so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm
at
the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any.
Because you told me not to go back, so I didn't
go
back.

Teacher : That's what happened in real life.

What is the message of this story?

* Grass - is people around you

* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you

* Grass Field - is time

* In looking for your soulmate, please don't
always compare and hope that there will be a
better one.
By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime,
cause remember "Time Never Goes Back".

It applies the same in finding your ideal life
partner, your suitable career or business,
therefore the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the
opportunity that you have now, don't waste
time!

One day . . . a wealthy family man took his son
on a trip to the country, so he could have his
son see how poor country people live.

They stayed one day and one night in the
home of a very humble farmer. At the end of
the trip, and when they were back home, the
father asked his son, "What did you think of
the trip?"

The son replied, "Very nice dad."

Then the father asked his son, "Did you notice
how poor they were?"

The son replied, "Yes."

The father continued asking, "What did you
learn?"

The son responded, "I learned that we have
one dog in our house, and they have four.

Also, we have a fountain in our garden, but
they have a stream that has no end.

And we have imported lamps in our garden . . .
where they have the stars!

And our garden goes to the edge of our
property. But they have the entire horizon as
their back yard!"

At the end of the son's reply the father was
speechless.

His son then said, "Thank you dad for showing
me how poor we really are."

Isn't it true that all depends on the lens you
use to see life?

One can ask himself what would happen if we
give thanks for what we have instead of
always asking for more.

Learn to appreciate what you have. Wealth is
all in one's point of view.

A Lesson to be learnt from this true story...

This lady has changed her habit on the hand phone after her handbag was stolen.

Her handbag which contained her mobile phone, credit card, purse, etc....was stolen.

20 minutes later when she called her hubby, telling him what had happened, hubby says "I've just received your SMS asking about our PIN number and I have replied a little while ago."

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen handphone to SMS "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Moral of the lesson :
1. Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
2. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mum, etc... and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.

An amazing Love Story

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.... Suddenly he asked the waiter. "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there".

While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets
all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princess
married to the prince, then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything..

Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life,even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her: what's
the taste of salty coffee?
It's sweet. She replied.

Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 c but 2 understand, not 2 hear
but 2 listen, not 2 let go but 2 HOLD ON !!!!

Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one
you like will leave you for the one they love.

If you watch the above images from your seat in front of the computer, Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calm is on the right. Get up from your seat, and move back about eight feet!! They switch places!! I believe this illusion was created by Phillippe G. Schyns and Aude Oliva of the Univ. of Glasgow .

This proves that we may not be seeing what's actually there, all the time!!

I do not know how they generated this fascinating image, and I believe no-one else is able to generate anything similar in Photoshop. I know it has something to do with "low-pass" and "high-pass" filters, but the details??

USD 20 Worth of Time

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old
son waiting for him at the door.

Daddy, may I ask you a question?â€
Yes sure, what is it?â€ replied the man
Daddy, how much do you make an hour?â€
thatâ€™s none of your business, why do you ask such a thing?â€ the man said
angrily.
I just want to know, please tell me, how much do you make an hour?â€pleaded the little boy.

if you must know, I make $20 an hourâ€
''Oh,â€ the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said,
dad, may I please borrow $10?â€

The father was furious,â€œif the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a sill toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed, think about why you are being so selfish.â€''I work long hard hours everyday and donâ€™t have time for such this childish behavior.â€

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions.

How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the had calmed down, and started to think hey
may have been a little hard on his son.

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didnâ€™t ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boyâ€™s room and opened the door
are you asleep, son?â€ he asked.

no daddy, Iâ€™m awakeâ€ replied the boy.

Iâ€™ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,â€ said the man.

Itâ€™s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Hereâ€™s the
$10 you asked for.â€

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. â€œOh, thank you daddy!â€ he yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again

The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

â€œWhy do you want more money if you already have some?â€ the father grumble.

because I didnâ€™t have enough, but now I do,â€ the little boy replied.

â€œdaddy, I have $20 now, can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home
early tomorrow, I would like to have dinner with you.â€

Share this story with someone you likeâ€¦..but even better, share $20 worth
of time with someone you love.

Its just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.

We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

What should you do if you lost your hand phone?

Just in case you lose your mobile or it gets stolen.
Do u know this little trick?

A 'get your own back' if you have your mobile stolen.
May be of interest to Mobile Users among you.
To check your Mobile phone's serial number,
key in the following digits on your phone:

* # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
Should your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.

They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief
changes the SIM card your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.

If everybody does this, there would be no point in stealing mobile
phones. Please do this now & keep the 15 digit code somewhere safe just in case.

This memo will be too late if you only remember after your phone is stolen.

A great note for all to read it will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

The origin of this letter is unknown, but it brings good to everyone who passes it on.

The Wooden Bowl

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.

But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about father," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor."

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.

Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?"Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up."
The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was
spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate
every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles three things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your
parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your
work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

I've learned that whenever decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn!

I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about ......I just did.

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the
problemscience has with God,
The Almighty.He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student : Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again,young fella. Is God
good?

Student :Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student : No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student : From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible
things exist in the world, don't they?

Student :Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the
world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student : No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student : No , sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God,smelled your God?
Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says
your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student : No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega
heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything
called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we
can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is
only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure old.
Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of
it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
You can have low light, normal light,bright light,flashing light.... But if
you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness,
isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make
darkness darker,wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there
is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God.You are viewing the concept
of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't
even explain a thought.It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of
course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the
argument is going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work
and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you
not teaching your opinion, sir?

Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's
brain?

The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain,
felt it, touched or smelled it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your
lectures,sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is
all that keeps things moving & alive.

That young man was ALBERT EINSTEIN.......

Hmmmm, quite interesting

1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765

123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654

1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543

12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432

123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11

Brilliant, isn't it?

And finally, take a look at this symmetry:

11 x 11 = 121

111 x 111 = 12321

1111 x 1111 = 1234321

11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,

"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days..
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

Pass this message to 7 people except you and me.

You will receive a miracle tomorrow.
Don't ignore and God will bless you

Have a nice day...

Want to know why u r working so hard?

On the very first day of the world, God created the cow.

He said to the cow:
"Ah Gu (cow), today I have created you! Your job is to go to the field with the farmer all day long.
You will provide the energy to pull things!
You will also provide milk for people to drink!
You are to work all day under the sun!
In return, you will only eat grass.
For that, you will have a life span of 50 years."

Ah Gu objected. "What.. I work all day in the sun and I get only to eat grass!
On top of that, I have to give my milk away! This is tough and you want me to live 50 years! I'll take 20 and you can have the remaining 30 years back!"

God agreed.

On the next day, God created the dog.
He said to the dog.
"Ah Kow (dog), I have created you for a purpose.
You are to sit all day by the door of your master's house!
Should anyone come in, you are to bark at them!
In return, you will eat your master's leftovers.
I'll give you a life span of 20 years."

Ah Kow objected. " What!
I have to sit by the door all day and will need to bark at people, and what do I get...LEFTOVERS... This isn't right, I'll take 10 and you can have the remaining 10 years back!"

God agreed again.

On the third day, God created the monkey.
He said to the monkey.
"Lao Kao (monkey), your job is to entertain people.
You will make them laugh, act stupid and make faces!
You will also do somersaults and swing on trees to amaze them.
In return, you will get to eat bananas and peanuts.
For that, I'll give you 20 years to live."

Naturally the monkey objected.
"This is ridiculous,
I gotta make faces and make people laugh?
Let's not even come to the part about the trees and somersaults.
Tell you what, I'll give 10 years of my life to thank you for my existence and I'll take 10. What do you think?"

God agreed again.

On the forth day, God create humans.
God said to the man.
"You are my best piece of work, for that, you will only need to sleep,eat, sleep, play, eat, sleep again and do nothing else.You will get to eat all the best things and play with the best toys.
All you need to do is enjoy all your life.
For this kinda of life,
I'll give you 20 years."

Just like the rest, the man objected.
"What, all I need to do is relax and enjoy myself and I have only 20 years to live?
Tell you what, you've 30 years back from Ah Gu,
10 years from Ah Kow and another 10 from Lao Kao
and you probably don't know
what to do with all those lifes. Why not I take them all and I'll have 70 years to live?"
God being such good natured, agreed with a smile.....

AND THAT IS WHY.....

We eat, sleep, play and enjoy for the first 20 years of our lives when we are growing up. Work like a cow for the next 30 to raise our family.
Sit outside the door and bark at people for the next 10 when we are retired.
And finally, we make faces and perform monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren for the final 10 years.

GET IT ????

Is your birthday day 1 of the month?
Your Life
You are very curious and dedicative. When you are interested in something,
everything else has to wait. This is your quality. But if you learn to be
more patient and complete what you have started, you will be successful in
life.
Your Love
You believe in love at first sight. You won't wait to learn more about the
person. Vise versa, people who fail to impress you will hardly get a chance
to be your friend. Your emotion is on the extreme. You can only love or
hate, nothing in between and this often shows in your expression. Try not to end a relationship in a quarrel.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Is your birthday day 2 of the month?

like him/her. Your partner also has similar character so your love affairs
often take quite a while to flourish. Time tells it all. Your sincerity

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES

If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING

This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

GO AHEAD

This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

Send this to the men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remembe r the terminology!

And send it to your women friends to give them a good laugh!

Oh, and before we forget ...

"Whatever"

...It's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!

:sleep: Have u ever missed someone and felt
terrible
because u think tat he/she doesn't miss u?

Missing someone is a terrible but at the same
time,
sweet feeling.

U will be sitting around wondering if u meant
anything to him/her.

Thinking if he/she ever cares about u.

Rushing to the phone once it rings hoping that it's
him/her.

Looking out of the window hoping that he/she will
surprise u by appearing downstairs.

Sitting in front of the television but thinking of
him/her, missing the final episode of your favourite
show.

Laying on your bed, thinking of the last time u
were out together.

Thinking of how nice it will be to sit under the stars
again, talking about everything, your
dreams,plans,future.

Logging on to the internet hoping to see him/her
online.

When u realise that he/she isn't online and did not
return your page, u will start worrying if he/she is
okay.

Missing someone is a way of growing up i guess.
It exposes u to loneliness. It teaches u how to
cope with being lonely and let u know that there is
actually a feeling known as emptiness.

Sometimes it feels good to miss someone. U
know
that u really care and u indulge in the feeling of
loving/caring for him/her.

But missing someone and not knowing if he/she is
feeling the same is terrible. U feel as if u are being
left alone.

So if u miss someone, tell him/her and let them
know. At the same time, ask if they miss u. Don't
let the feeling of missing someone become
jealousy or paranoia. If u are the one being missed
and u know it, let the other party know

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career
and life itself got in the way.
In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son.
He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
"Jack, did you hear me?"
"Oh sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It' s been so long since I thought of him.
I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.
"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him.
"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.

"You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure
you had a man's influence in your life," she said.
"He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important... Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his
hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see
the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time.
The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories.
Every picture, every piece of furniture.... Jack stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked.
"The box is gone," he said.
"What box?" Mom asked.
"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must
have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was
the thing I value most," Jack said.
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered
it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. "Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better get
some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom."

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died.

Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package.
The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. "Mr. Harold Belser" it read.

Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack
Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life."
A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched
the cover.

Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! - Harold Belser."

"The thing he valued most...was...my time."
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked. "I need some time to spend with my son," he said.
"Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the
moments that take our breath away,"
Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's true.

A Story From the Mental Hospital

Nam weng and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital. One day, while
they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Nam weng suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank like a stone to the bottom and stayed
there.

Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.

When the medical director became aware of Mary's Heroic act, he immediately
ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered her to
be mentally stable. When he went to tell her the news, he said, "Mary, I
have good news & bad news. The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've Regained your senses".

"The bad news is that Nam weng, the patient you saved Hanged himself in the bathroom with the belt of his robe. I am so Sorry, but he's dead".

Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry"

1. THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Let's face it English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as It burns down
And in which you fill in a form By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch It starts
But when I wind up this observation, It ends.

A Truck-Load of Dung
Unpleasant things happen in life. They happen to everyone. The only
difference between a happy person and one who gets depressed is how they
respond to disasters.
A traumatic experience in life is like a truck-load of dung dumped in
front of our house when we're not looking. There are three things to know
about it:
1. We did not order it. So we say, "Why me?"
2. We're stuck with it. No one, not even our best friends, can take it
away (though they may try).
3. It is so awful, such a destroyer of our happiness, and its pain
fills our whole life. It is almost impossible to endure.
There are two ways of responding to being stuck with a truck-load of dung.
The first is to carry the dung around with us. We put some in our pockets,
in our bags and up our shirts. We find that when we carry dung around, we
lose a lot of friends! Even best friends don't seem to hang around so
often. Moreover, the pile of dung gets no less, but the smell gets worse
as it ripens.
"Carrying around the dung" is a metaphor for sinking into depression,
negativity or anger.
Fortunately, there's a second way. We can heave a sigh, then get down to
work. We fork the dung into the barrow, wheel it around the back of the
house, and dig it into the garden. This is tiring and difficult work, but
we know there's no other option.
Sometimes, all we can manage is half a barrow a day. But we're doing
something about the problem, rather than fretting our way into depression.
Day after day we dig, and the pile gets smaller. Sometimes it takes
several years, but the morning does come when we see that the dung in
front of our house is all gone. Furthermore, a miracle has happened in
another part of our house. Our garden blooms.
"Digging in the dung" is a metaphor for welcoming the tragedies as
fertiliser for life. It is work that we have to do alone: No one can help
us here. But by digging it into the garden of our heart, day by day, the
pile of pain gets less. The morning does come when we see no more pain in
our life, and in our heart, a miracle has happened.
Flowers of kindness are bursting out all over the place, and the fragrance
of love wafts way down our street, to our neighbours, to our relations and
even to passers-by. Then our wisdom tree in the corner is bending down to
us, loaded with sweet insights into the nature of life. We share those
delicious fruits freely, even with the passers-by, without ever planning
to.
When we have known tragic pain, learned its lesson and grown our garden,
then we can put our arms around another in deep tragedy and say, softly,
"I know." Compassion begins. If we haven't grown our garden yet, this
can't be done.
So if you want to be of service to the world, if you wish to follow the
path of compassion, then the next time a tragedy occurs in your life, you
may say, "Whoopee! More fertiliser for my garden!"

What would you do? You make the choice! Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one! Read it anyway. The question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended.

After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

"When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"

The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. "I believe, that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child." Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing x-udball. Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and a few boys nodded approval, why not? So he took matters into his own hands and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.

Shay struggled over to the team's bench, put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact.

The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from! the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever ran that far but he made it to first base.

He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base.

By the time Shay started towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on the! ir team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first ti me. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions, and he too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.

Shay ran toward second base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay."

As Shay reached second base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base,! shouting, "Run to third! Shay, run to third."

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet, screaming, "Shay, run home!"

Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team.

"That day," said the father softly, with tears now rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world."

Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero making his father so happy, and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

AND, NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY:

We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people think twice about sharing. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people on your address list that aren't the "appropriate" ones to receive this type of message.

Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the "natural order of things."

So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity, or do we pass up that opportunity to brighten the day of those with us the least able, and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?"

The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with pearls.

"Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, "No." The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a silver thimble ringed with sapphires. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, "No." The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. "Is this your thimble?", the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, "Yes." The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. "Is this your husband?" the Lord asked. "Yes," cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding." "You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt. Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney."

And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

Signed,

Women :D :D :D :D

Everything Happens for a Reason
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...
.....to serve some sort of purpose
.....to teach a lesson,
....or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be...a roommate, friend, neighbour, professor, child, teacher or even a complete stranger, but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, but in reflection, you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would not have realized your strength, potential, willpower or heart.
Nothing happens by chance or means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, flat road to nowhere...safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

People who you meet and who affect your life, and the successes and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. The bad experiences are the most valuable because it is often from them that we learn the most. Hurt, betrayal, loss, sadness...these are the great builders of character. Only those who have hurt and lost or have been sad and disappointment know how to truly comfort and forgive another in the same circumstances. Consider yourself blessed!

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it whatever you can...it may not come your way again. You may not have the chance to share, talk, listen, dream, love, teach, or enjoy that moment again.

Believe in yourself and hold your head up.
Create your own life and live it with no regrets.
Learn a new lesson every day.
Tell someone you love them.
Live with no regrets.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Was it worth it?

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

Because:

Evening at 9 - 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

p/s: I have a high chance of getting brain damage and liver damage :hang: :omg:

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... ! ! "goodnight, sleep tight."

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them
"Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"

Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase
inspired by this practice.

Deck of Cards

After a day of heavy fighting the Chaplain had set up church service.

The men were asked to take out their bibles or prayer books.

The Chaplain noticed one soldier looking at a deck of cards.

After the service, he was taken by the Chaplain to see the Major.

The Chaplain explained to the Major what he had seen.

The Major told the young soldier that he would have to be punished

if he could not explain himself. The young soldier told the Major

that during battle he had neither a bible or prayer book

so he would use his deck of cards . He explained...

* When I look at the Ace, it tells me that there is one God and no other.

* When I see the 2, it reminds me there are two parts of the Bible, the Old and New Testaments.

* The 3 tells me of the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

* The 4 reminds me of the four Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

* When I see the 5 it tells me of the five unwise virgins who were lost then were saved.

* The 6 makes me mindful that God created the earth in just six days,

* and God said that it was good, so He rested on the 7th day.

* The 8 reminds me that God destroyed all life by water except eight people.

There was Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives.

* When I see the 9 I think of the nine lepers that God healed.

* The 10 tells me of the Ten Commandments carved in stone by the hand of God.

* The Jack makes me remember the prince of darkness,

like a roaring lion that devours those he can.

* When I look at the Queen I see blessed Mary, Mother of Jesus.

* As I look at the last card I see the King

which reminds me Jesus is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

* There are 365 spots on the cards, the number of days in a year.

* There are 52 cards to a deck, the number of weeks in a year.

* There are 12 picture cards, the number of months in a year.

* There are 4 suits, the number of months in a quarter.

* There are 13 cards to a suit, the number of weeks in a quarter."

And so the young soldier then said to the Major,

"You see, Sir, that my intentions were honorable.

My deck of cards serves as my bible, prayer book, and almanac."

So, the next time you see me with a deck of cards, don't ASS-U-ME otherwise.

This is a story of a young college girl who passed away last month, at
Shah Alam. Her name is Priya; she was hit by a lorry.

I don't want to mention the name of the college. She had a boyfriend
names Shankar. He lives in Johore. Both of them are true lovers. They are
always on the phone with each other. You can never see her without her
handphone.

She spends ? of the day talking with Shankar. Priya's family knows
about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family (just
imagine their love). Before she passed away she always told her friends "If I
pass away please burn me with my handphone". She also said the same thing
to her parents.

After her death, people couldn't carry her coffin. I was there ~ a lot of
them tried to do so but still couldn't , everybody including me, had tried
to carry the coffin, the result was still the same.

Eventually, they called their neighbour, a "bomoh" from Thailand(pak
Darin), who is a friend of her father's. He took a seat and started
speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said "this girl
misses something here". Then her friends told Darin bout her intentions to
burn her with her phone. He then opened the coffin and place her phone,
together with the SIM card inside the casket. After that they tried to carry
the coffin. It could now be moved and they carried it into the van easily.
All of us were shocked. (can you feel the fear? I'm shaking at this
moment.)

Priya's parents didn't inform Shankar that Priya had passed away (pity
Shankar). After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom.

Shankar: "Atte, I'm coming home today. Please cook something nice for
me.
Don't tell Priya that I'm coming home today; I want to surprise her."

Her mother replied, "You come home first, I want to tell you something
very important."

After he arrived at Shah Alam, they told him the truth about Priya.

Shankar thought that they were fooling around. He was laughing and
said, "Don't try to fool me ... tell Priya to come out ... I have a gift for
her. Please stop this nonsense."

Then they show him the Priya's death certificate; they gave him proof
to make him believe.

Shankar started to sweat profusely. He said, "It's not true. We spoke
yesterday. She still calls me."

Shankar was shaking so badly when suddenly, his phone rang.

"See this is from Priya. See this ...." he showed the phone to Priya's
family. All of them told him to answer. He used the loudspeaker mode.
All of them heard this conversation, loud and clear. No cross lines, no
humming. It was Priya's voice! And there was no way others could use
her SIM card as it was nailed inside the coffin! They were so shocked and
asked for pak Darin's help.

Pak Darin brought his master (Tok Chen) to solve this matter. He and
pak Darin worked for 5 hours ... then they discovered one thing .....

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water, at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the
table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

A Very beautiful advice ....

A simple man tells how his booking an air ticket for his father, his
first flight, brought emotions and made him realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents.

My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same.
In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on Lufthansa.

The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of travel. Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen.
He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these things.

As they were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional and it was not as if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to him.

When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me.

But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life.

As a child how many dreams our parents have made come true. Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for football, dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they have satisfied to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes?

Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us?

Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good school. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will ensure that we will have to give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc. But we tend to forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed to see when they were young, it is our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life is complete.

Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very polite in answering. Now I realize how they would have felt at those moments.

Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and just as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care need to be given to our parents and elders.

Rather than my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes. Just because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes, too.

Take care of your parents.

A hat-seller who was passing by a forest decided to take a nap under one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side. A few hours later, he woke up and realized
that all his hats were gone.

He looked up and to his surprise, the tree was full of monkeys and they had taken all his hats. he sits down and thinks of how he can get the hats down. While thinking he started to scratch his head. The next moment, the monkeys were doing the same.

Next, he took down his own hat, the monkeys did exactly the same. An idea came to him, he took his hat and threw it on the floor and the monkeys did that too. So he finally managed to get all his hats back.

Fifty years later, his grandson, also became a hat-seller and had heard this monkey story from his grandfather. One day, just like his grandfather, he passed by the same forest. It was very hot, and he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor.

He woke up and realized that all his hats were taken by the monkeys on the tree. He remembered his grandfather's words, started scratching his head and the monkeys followed. He took down his hat and fanned
himself and again the monkeys followed. Now, very convinced of his grandfather's idea, he threw his hat on the floor but to his surprise the monkeys still held on to all the hats. Then one monkey climbed down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and said............

Guess What????????

Hospital Window

A great note for all to read it will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

'Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present.'

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked
about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour was an
elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's
yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry'
