Points to ponder

Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, buy you know he will strangle you with his panic.
--The dairy of Anais Nin,

The task of a leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. The public does not fully understand the world into which it is going. Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision. Those leaders who do not are ultimately judged failures, even though they may be popular at the moment.
--Hugh sidey in time.

The only decent government is government by a body of men and women, but if only one sex must govern, then i should say, let it be women -- put the men out!
Such an enormous amount of work done is of the nature of national housekeeping that obviously women should have a hand in it.
--Bernard shaw

And this is the way to educate children: the instinctive way of mothers. There should be no effort made to teach children to think, to have ideas. Only to lift them and urge them into dynamic activity. The voice of dynamic sound, not the words of understanding. Damn understanding. Gestures, and touch, and expression of the face, not theory. Never have ideas about children--and never have ideas for them.
--D.H. Lawrence

The chinese have a story based on three or four thousand years of civilization. Two chinese coolies were arguing heatedly in the midst of a crowd. A stranger expressed surprise that no blows were being struck. His chinese friend replied, "The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out."
--Franklin D.Roosevelt

Innocence of a 9 year old vs complex brain of father.




When I managed an Electrical Company, I instituted a rule that there would be no playing games on the company's computers.
To ensure I wouldn't be labelled a hypocrite,
I had an information technologist get rid of the games on my laptop.
Therefore, I was surprised to find my grandson playing solitaire on it one weekend.
I asked if he had loaded the game.
"No," he answered, 'it was already there. It was just hidden - taken off the main menu."
On Monday morning, I chided our information technologist for not getting rid of the game as I'd asked.
"But," he explained,
"I thought I just had to keep it away from you - not from a nine-year-old!".



A child's brain works wonders, when it is still very calm. 
Unlike us adults, we have a very busy mind. =)
Have a great wednesday !!

Fifth and Sixth Secrets for a Happy Marriage.


Hello Guys, great day, school holiday means no jam. Wahahaha.

Anyway, i believe i owe you guys the fifth and sixth secret.

Learn to compromise

The fifth secret speaks for itself!.
Compromise means you recognize that there are two (or more) sides to every issue.
Do not be one sided, try to make it a win-win situation, don't be so selfish.


Practice the art of appreciation

The six secret speaks for itself too!
Make an effort to show your appreciation whenever your partner does something for you.
Even a simple "Thank You, Dear" is sufficient enough. 
Don't take them for granted.


I Hope all those who are in a relationship will continue to be a loving couple.
For those singles, don't give up hope! =D

Have a great monday!

Fourth Secret for a happy Marriage


Take responsibility

This is quite straight forward. There is no secret in this.
In any disagreement with your partner, you are not going to change your partner at all. The only person you can really change is yourself.

There was a story;
A man once said, "I have prayed about my wife's drinking problem."
Then another man asked "Has she stopped drinking then?"
"No" he said, "But i have stopped nagging her. I have found patience. And someday I think she will change."

A wise person once said, "prayer doesn't necessarily change things for you, but it changes you for things".

 You are responsible to your partner, so be responsible.

Have a great day ahead! =D
Tomorrow is a holiday! haha.




Third Secret for a Happy Marriage!


Learn how to defer gratification

The requires self control and patience. Married couples must have a vision for the greater good, do not be too short sighted. Couples must forego immediate pleasure in order to obtain a greater benefit in the foreseeable future.
Some people do not have plans for the future, and always wants to live in the moment, which could be damaging to a marriages, they do not save money and many other things.
They are too interested in having their pleasure or their recreation right now.

words~
Defer : put off to a later time (postpone)
Gratification : is the pleasurable emotional reaction of happiness in response to a fulfillment of a desire or goal.

Source of the meaning of the words are from wiki.

Haha, anyway, have a nice day ahead !! =D

No waiter, then you take it yourself.


I eat lunch at a small coffeehouse where the customer orders and leaves his name.
They call you when your order is ready.
One day I heard the chef call: "Jill, your lunch is ready."
Then, louder: "Jill, come and get it."
And finally - to the applause of everyone in place:
"Jill! Speak now or forever lose your quiche!".


*quiche is a type of food*

Hahaha, this is a true story submitted by John, from the states. 

Have a nice day ahead !


Second Secret for a happy marriage!


Work on communication constantly.


The title speaks for itself.
Couples, married or not, have to set aside a specific time in a day to communicate, to talk about plans, problems, grievances, misunderstanding and so on.
Once the habit of sharing things verbally is established, the marriage becomes much more resistant to stresses and strains.


Morning people! Have a nice day ahead! Talk to your partner! =D


First Secret for a Happy Marriage.


Develop a mature concept of love.

For many people, love is a breathless romantic glow.
Which they expect to have emotional needs satisfied.
Some people needs this kind of attention more.
This is not love, it is dependency.
It is a feeling that do not last. It changes quickly as the mood change, and if this feeling vanish, even temporarily, it is easy to end the relationship as some people will say "the fire has burn out, there is no more love."
A 'matured' love is when your partner's welfare and happiness is much more important than your own; as someone said, 
"real love is the accurate estimate and supply of another's needs"

If someone else say that, they do not love their spouse anymore, that they do not have any feelings towards them anymore, 
That someone should "Act as though you love your spouse, whether you think you do or not.
The important thing is how you act, and not how you feel.
If you act upon kindness and consideration, you may be able to save your marriage.

This is probably the best method for those who are in an arrange marriage.




Understand them, this is the first secret. 
Have a nice Wednesday everyone! =D

Six secrets for a happy Marriage!


Hello peoples! 

I am quoting this secrets from "Dynamic Imaging" by Norman Vincent Peale.

A triumphant, rewarding, lifelong partnership is possible.

"Maybe"
This dreadful words only brings trouble in our life if we do not have a positive mindset.
It cause us to doubt, and thus losing faith and trust. It is particularly harmful to marriage.

Maybe I've made a mistake. Maybe i've married the wrong man or woman. Maybe I'm becoming more matured and my partner is still childish. Maybe I'd be happier married to that guy or girl.
Maybe I'd  be happier not married.

With all these 'maybe' the marriage is bound to fail. This has a very negative imaging.

A young girl, once say that her husband, Tom, who is a medical student, was neglecting her. He studies day and night, they aren't spending time together.
Finally she say, "I do not know why i married Tom. There are other guys who would die for me is asking me to marry them, but i turn them down. Maybe i made a huge mistake by marrying Tom."

As we examine this case, she is doubting their marriage. 
The only maybe to use is,
"Maybe I can think of a new way to be loving and supportive of Tom today."

We have to use maybe in a positive way to work things out.
It is always easier to think negatively then positively.
But remember, "No Pain No Gain."

I will share with you the Six secret for a happy marriage.
I will elaborate each point from time to time.

1. Develop a mature concept of love.
2.Work on communication constantly.
3. Learn how to defer gratification.
4. Take responsibility.
5. Learn to compromise.
6. Practice the art of appreciation.


Stay with me guys. 
Have a wonderful day ahead.! =)

Personal Glimpses about stroke.


After their father's stroke in 1961,
Jack and Bobby presence stimulated the independent old man to try walking without a brace.

In a lightning move, Bobby grabbed his father.
His father then tried to struggle loose and began swatting at his son with his cane.
Bobby laughed, eased his fist shaking father into a chair and kissed him.
Then he said, "Dad, if you want to get up, give me your arm and I'll hold you until you get your balance.
You've done that for me all my life, so why can't I do the same for you now?"

Hamster dilemma


I told my 11 years old daughter to telephone the pet shot when the hamster we had bought there an hour earlier started chewing feverishly on its leg. She was told the hamster should be taken to a veterinarian right away. I was outraged, knowing the bill for the vet would be greater than the cost of the hamster, so i asked Alie to call the pet shop again and hand the phone to me. 
"Were you just speaking to my daughter about her sick hamster?" I asked.
"Yes", came the reply.
"Have you any idea how expensive a visit to the vet will be?" I ranted.
"You had better either replace the hamster or pay the vet bill!"
"Gee, ma'am," came the meek reply, "We're just a television-repair shop."



Hahahaha, young girls do make mistakes dont they. =)
Sweet.

Have a great day ahead!

Beautiful Story... Must Read


I am sure many of you have read this story before and many have forgotten about it.
I sharing / re-posting it again.
Have a good read =)

A very poor man lived with his wife...

One day, his wife who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed... The man felt very sorry and say "NO".

He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken... She did not insist on her request..

The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife...

He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife...

He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut...

She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band...

Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of the actions,...but for the reciprocity of their love...


Moral: To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love,
that is EVERYTHING....

Never take love for granted... =)
Thoughts?..

Bus Conductor


Once there was a very rude bus conductor.
One day a beautiful young girl that tried to board the bus. But the bus conductor did not stop the bus and the worst happen, he was speeding and the girl had little time to avoid the bus and got ran over by the bus and died on the spot.

Everyone in the bus was shocked and angry, they caught the bus conductor and brought to court.
After hearing the crime, the judge was also angry and sentence the bus conductor to death.

He was taken to the electrocution chamber .

There was a single Chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room.

The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him!.

But to everyone amazement he survived!!

The judge decided to let him free and he returned to his former profession. After a while, this time a young good looking man tried to board, and again he repeat his crime and ran over the young good looking man, which cause the young man to die on the spot. 

Again the passengers caught the bus conductor and brought him to court, where the judge again sentence him to death.

He was then taken again to the  electrocution chamber and there is still a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room.

He was strapped on to the chair and a high voltage current was given to him again.

This time, he still survived.

The just decided to set him free and he returned to his profession once again. A couple of months later an elderly gentleman tried to board the bus.

This time the bus conductor remembering his earlier experiences, stopped the bus to allow the elderly gentleman to board. 

Unfortunately the elderly man, slipped and died due to his injuries.

The conductor was then again bought to court and face the same judge.

Although he didn't do anything wrong, but considering his past records, the judge decided to set an example and sentence him to death.

He was then taken again to the  electrocution chamber and there is still a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room.

He was strapped on to the chair and a high voltage current was given to him again.

This time, he died straight away.

The question is, why didn't he die on the first two occasions, but died instantly on the third time?????

Try to solve this mystery yourselves. Think hard my reader. Think "logically".
Read the puzzle again over and over. Key points are there.

.The answer is......



During the first two times, the conductor was a bad conductor, therefore electricity didn't pass through him.

But during the third time, he was a good conductor, electricity passed through him freely and he died!!


Hahhahaha, obviously you gotta revise your science!! and read carefully! xD

Have a happy thursday ahead!

Interesting facts about Glue


Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the tube?

"Most of our glues contain agents called cure promoters, which cause the glue to bond, and stabilizers,
which stop it from doing so," 
explains Gary Tremley, senior packaging engineer at British firm Loctite.
Inside the tube, the balance between cure promoters and stabilizers is like two people pulling on opposite ends of a rope.
The surface of the inside of the tube is specially formulated to be neutral so that the two agents remain balanced.
Once the glue is out of the tube, the stabilizers are over come by moisture in the air and by contact with the surface you want to stick, so the glue hardens and bonds.





Interesting, who actually wonder about this?


Interesting facts about horseshoe


Why are horseshoes considered lucky????

The belief comes from a sixteenth-century idea that iron horseshoes were a protection against witches and evil.
Antiquarian John Aubrey wrote in his 1696 book Miscellanies that the reasoning was that Mars (the roman god of war and associated with the metal iron.) was the enemy of Saturn (ruler of the witches).
Another interpretation of the superstition is that a horseshoe held on its side makes a 
"C" for christ.

Lesbian trivial!



A mother worries that her teenage daughter is having sex and might get pregnant, so she consults several parenting websites for advice.
Later that evening as her daughter prepares for a date, the mother sits down to talk with her.
"I know you are adult enough to make the right decision about your body. But i want you to please try to abstain from sex until you're married. If you must have sex, then please use protection."
Feeling proud of herself for being so pro-active, the hands her daughter a box of condoms.

TOM and Jerry were partners in a profitable painting-contracting business. 
Unfortunately, they weren't entirely honest because they mixed their paint with water.
One day, Jerry's conscience started to bother him as they painted a poor widow's house.
The next day Jerry told Tom he just couldn't be dishonest anymore.
"Don't quit now," Tom begged.
"A few more jobs and we can retire."
Jerry refused to change his mind.
"Tom," he said, "I just can't do it. Last night an angel stood by my bed and said,
'Repaint, you thinner.'"
