Cherokee wisdom

An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, & ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, & truth."

The boy thought about it, and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed".

How to stay young and happy...

How to Stay Young And Happy.....

Always :-)

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height.

Let the doctors worry about them.. That is why you pay them.



2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle.
'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her!

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself.
LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And if you don't send this to at least four people - who cares?

But do share this with someone.

10 Things to learn from Japan - Think about it

10 things to learn from Japan in an hour of crisis

1. THE CALM - Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY - Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough... word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY - The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE - People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER - No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE - Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS - Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING - The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA - They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE - When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!

The Beauty and Complexity of English Language

The Beauty and Complexity of English Language

 

Professor Ernest Brennecke of Columbia is credited with inventing a sentence that can be made to have eight different meanings by placing ONE WORD in all possible positions in the sentence: "I hit him in the eye yesterday."

 

The word is "ONLY".

The Message:

1. ONLY I hit him in the eye yesterday. (No one else did)
2. I ONLY hit him in the eye yesterday. (Did not slap him)
3. I hit ONLY him in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit others)
4. I hit him ONLY in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit outside the eye)
5. I hit him in ONLY the eye yesterday. (Not other organs)
6. I hit him in the ONLY eye yesterday. (He doesn't have another eye)
7. I hit him in the eye ONLY yesterday. (Not today)
8. I hit him in the eye yesterday ONLY. (Did not wait for today)

 

This is the beauty and complexity of the English language.

Five little kites

       Five little kites flying high in the sky
       Said, "Hi!" to the cloud as it passed by,
       Said, "Hi!" to the birds, said "Hi!" to the sun,
       Said, "Hi!" to an airplane -- oh what fun!
       Then whish went the wind,
       And they all took a dive:
       One
       Two
       Three
       Four
       Five.

 Thank God Its Friday.....

Freaky year for "maths"?

Freaky year for "maths"?

(This is passing around the Internet - does it work for you?)

This year we will experience 4 unusual dates -- 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11

Now go figure this out...

Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born, plus the age you will be this year and it will be equal to "111".

Give it a try (it worked for me).

Weird!!! huh???

Grammer school

Those of us who fall into the world of hi-tech should take note of the importance of correct grammar. I have noticed that many who text messages & forward emails, have forgotten the "art" of capitalization.

Put simply, capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Jai ho!

For the first time in the history of India.
