There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

The Class Photo

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

“Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Jennifer, she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘That’s Michael, he’s a doctor.’

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, “And there’s the teacher, she’s dead.”

Those things we have called our weaknesses, once overcome, now become our strength. Weakness is the birthplace of strength.

Our world is like a giant classroom where we are all required to take classes. Some we get to choose. When the choice is ours we take all the easy classes, the one that give us the most pleasure

The tongue, one of the smallest members of the body, has such great capacity for its size. With a few words it can exalt or debase.

Observation tells us that we live in a well-ordered universe. Each day the
sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Its rays give light and warmth to all the creatures of this earth. At the end of the day, night arrives. This twenty-four hour cycle never ceases. One season follows another. Spring is always followed by summer; summer is always followed by autumn, etc. This course is unchangeable.

When you've concluded life is finite, the thought of loosing it won't scare you anymore. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you want to go out, on your kneels or on your feet

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness
Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future, and it doesn’t brood over the past. It’s the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories and working toward common goals.
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don’t have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it’s not enough

joke

A couple never fought in 25 years.

A friend asked: how did you make it possible?

Husband: We went to Paris for our honeymoon, while horse riding my wife's horse jumped and she fell down.

She got up and patted the horse's back and said 'this is your 1st time'.

After a while it happened again and my wife said 'this your 2nd time',

when it happened 3rd time, my wife took out the gun and shot the horse.

I shouted: You PSYCHO you killed the horse.

She gave me a grave look and said this is your 1st time..

And since then we have never fought

Rainbows

Rainbows

Thank you God for the pain
that, like rain,
when filtered through sunshine
paints a rainbow
giving life a touch of beauty,
while reminding me of your promise
that you would never again
destroy mankind through a flood.

And that I need to remember
because sometimes
I feel overwhelmed
by floods which threaten
to engulf me and destroy me,
and leave me sore afraid
when my cries for help
seem lost in the storm.

And then behind me
where I couldn't see
I turn and see a rainbow
adding a touch of beauty to my life
and then I see even if
I don't understand
that as rainbows are painted
by raindrops
so faith, hope, and love
are somehow all painted by pain.

– Dick Innes

Footprints

Footprints

******************

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.

***Attributed to Mary Stevenson, 1936

JUST NOW

Never mind about tomorrow - It always is today; Yesterday has vanished. Wherever, none can say. Each minute must be guarded, make worth the while somehow there are no other moments; It's always, Just Now. Just now is the hour that's golden, The moment to defend. Just now is without beginning; Just now can never end. Then never mind tomorrow - 'Tis Today you must enjoy with all that's true and noble; And the time for this is - Now!

TRUE HAPPINESS

True happiness and success comes when you do what you are most passionate about! One of the biggest things that most of us lack is passion. Ask any successful person, entrepreneur, millionaire and they will all tell you the same thing; you must be passionate about what you do! A recent survey shows that 75% of the population do not know what their true passion is. Perhaps this is why there is so much unhappiness in our society for to be truly happy, you have to really love and be passionate about what you do.

Here is a list of 7 things you need to ask and answer for yourself to help you find and understand what you are passionate about.

1) What puts a smile on your face?
Following what makes you truly happy is a wonderful way to figuring out what you were put on Earth for. Think about something that you do or that perhaps you used to do that brings you total happiness!

2) What do you find easy?
What we find easy for us to do, will be related to what we are passionate about. It’s very hard to hate something that is very easy for us!

3) What sparks your creativity?
Think about something in your life where you seem to always expand its horizon, always coming up with new, fun, and exciting ideas relating to that subject. Whatever makes you creative is something that you are passionate about.

4) What would you do for free?
Think about something that you would just love to do, even if you were not getting paid. Think about something that you look forward to do, something that you wish you could do all the time

5) What do you like to talk about?
Most of the time, we aren’t aware of this. A good way to figure this out properly, is to ask your friends. Ask them what they believe you like to talk about the most, what topic makes your eyes brighten up, and changes your entire behaviour.

6) What makes you unafraid of failure?
When you do what you are passionate about, you have total confidence in your abilities. This makes you not worry about failing, because in your mind, how can you fail when you do what you love?

7) What would you regret not having tried?
If you were at the end of your life, what would you regret not having pursued? What would you have liked to do, that you didn’t get a chance to?

SAVINGS

Spending less than you earn is common sense. An average employee or income earner knows this deep down. Spending less than one earns is one of the usual suspects in many a failed New Year Resolution. We routinely give in to aimless spending in the holiday season, pay the price in the New Year as parents struggle with school fees and other mandatory expenses and become sober for a season, even start saving . Sadly, a few months down the road, the money is un-saved. It is dragged kicking and screaming from our savings account as we slip back to old comfy habits.

Knowing what to do is actually the easy part. That is why the web and libraries are awash with “How to” information and books. For every human desire, there is a “how to”. How to lose weight in 3 months or less, how to achieve financial freedom in 6 months, how to make so much within a week by putting in only two hours a week or less – make money while you watch TV. If wishes were horses, fool would ride. Actually going ahead and doing it in a sustainable basis is what separates the men from the boys.

As with any field of human endeavor, acting differently in a sustainable basis requires a change in mindset. In computer terms, it means a software upgrade.

The big question is – how can you keep what you have saved?

There are competing demands all around – your own immediate needs begging for attention – topping up your phone, fuel costs and car repairs, children’s birthday party, aso ebi (party uniform?), demands and calls for help from friends and family, the list goes on and on. How do you keep soldiering on as a valiant savings warrior amidst the cacophony of all these noises? How do you keep your long spending arms away from your precious and vulnerable savings?

You need to move your money into a witness protection program. A star witness in a crime case is protected by the police to avoid being silenced by crime warlords. The witness (in this case your money) is in danger while you are the Boss seeking to eliminate it. Put your money out of your spending reach and circulation. Invest it. If you are interested in precious metals, buy gold, silver or whatever metal you want to invest in. If you are interested in stocks, call your stockbroker. If you are interested in real estate, pay it into your real estate savings account with your mortgage banker or an account you cannot withdraw from. If you are interested in buying and selling, convert the cash to inventory. If you are clueless (you don’t know what to do yet), put the money in a fixed deposit account while you learn the ropes.

Do not leave the money to cool its heels in a savings or current account. Keep it out of reach of ATM machines, checkbook, online banking or whatever. Make it disappear from your radar.

So what happens to the sea of demands all around you?

Definition Of TIME

Definition Of TIME

It looks Slow, When you Wait.
It looks Fast, When you are Afraid.
It looks Long, When you are Sad.
It looks Short, When you are Happy.
It looks Endless, When you are At Pain.
It looks Deadly, When you are Bored.

Time Can Only Be Determined By your Feelings
and your Mental Condition, Not By Clocks…
