Story with a Moral
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an
assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories:
"Johnny do you have a story to share?"
Yes ma'am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt Nancy. She was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a small flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then her parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops.
She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, Killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."
"Good Heavens" said the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from this horrible story?"
"Stay the Fuck Away from Aunt Nancy when she's drinking."Tuesday, February 21, 2006
How to get on and influence people
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%
Radio contest
contestants who could come up with words that were not found in any
English dictionary yet could still use these words in a sentence that
would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali for a week. The
DJ, Neil, had many callers; the following two standing out:
DJ: 96FM, what's your name?
Caller: Hi, my name's Dave.
DJ: Dave, what's your word?
Caller: Goan, spelt G O A N, pronounced "go-an".
DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct, Dave, Goan
is certainly a word not found in the English dictionary. Now the next
question, for a trip to Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in
that would make logical sense?
Caller: Goan fuck yourself!
At this point the DJ cuts the caller short and announces that there is
no place for that sort of language on a family show. After many more
unsuccessful calls the DJ takes the following caller:
DJ: 96FM, what's your name?
Caller: Hi, my name's Jeff.
DJ: Jeff, what's your word?
Caller: Smee, spelt S M E E, pronounced "smee".
DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct, Jeff, Smee
is certainly a word not found in the English dictionary. Now the next
question, for a trip to Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in
that would make logical sense?
Caller: Smee again! Goan fuck yourself!

Spontaneous ramblings.
Variety is the spice of life in certain point of view, without it everything will not be as interesting and you would rather die then suffer the dullness of life. Even at 10pm night the city is still busy with people, if your over in New Zealand at 10pm the city is dead.... the 1st day which i still remember when i first landed on christchruch, we went down to a restaurant in the city called Joyfull, it doesnt sound "Joyfull" when i reach there. It seems so strange to me since i've grown up in a city that never maybe sleeps(hehehe, sometimes it does) at 7pm sharp we reach there and paying the Cab $25.50 for the ride to town i look around and there wasnt really anyone(literally there was "NO ONE") it was like an abandoned city.
Garden city of lights (Kuala lumpur) a place where you can sit in your car for an hour without moving in the traffic. The most complicated Roadsigns and ROADs you will ever encounter in your life, welcome to KL. i've drove down there and got lost a few times... not to mention i was just trying to get to the world 2nd tallest building, where you can spot it 100Km away! Never be indecisive when your driving, if you meant to turn left then turn left.... if your unsure, turning whatever way is the right way. Looking at the Map of Kuala lumpur is not a good idea, the reason are very simple this is because the roads are always changing........ the local authorities and private sectors are always modifying the roads, hence Maps are not 100% reliable.
Congrats to myself for getting a position as Business development executive with a company that most people never heard of. I thought i never get a job.......... paranoid aren't I !! im looking forward to learn and gain new working experiences and Retire by the age of 35.
A man with a dream will not be denied, we will need to start dreaming...... really know what do you want to acheive in life, materially, relationship, and career. We need a goal a Clear vision and a Strategy. Everything is possible, its only a question of strategy and constant motivation.
Oh well.... what the heck. Its time for me to Hit the road.

Osama & Bush
alive", Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own
handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.
Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line
of coded message:
370HSSV-0773H
Bush was baffled, so he emailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and
her aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI.
No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to
the NSA. With no clue as to its meaning they eventually asked Britain's
MI-6 for help. Within a minute MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply:
"Tell the President he's holding the message upside down."
Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Options
mid-term. The answer by one student was so unusual that the professor
shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is of course, why we
now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus question: Is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of hell is changing in time. So, we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into hell and the rate at
which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a
soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering hell, let's look at the different
religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state
that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell.
Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not
belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to
hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls
in hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of
the volume in hell because Boyle's law states that in order for the
temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the volume of hell has
to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls
enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until
all hell breaks loose.
2. If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell
then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Theresa during my freshman year
that, "It will be a cold day in hell before I sleep with you", and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then No. 2 must be
true, and thus I am sure that hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over.
The corollary of this theory is that since hell has frozen over, it
follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct...leaving only heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why last night, Theresa kept shouting, "Oh my God!
Oh, my God!"
This student received the only "A".

Effect of Thought on Circumstances
A man tend the garden of this mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts , and clutivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By persuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life. he also reveals , within himself , the laws of thought, and understands, with ever increasing accuracy , how the thought -forces and mind elements operate in the shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny.
Every man is where he is by the law of his being ; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of hi life there is no elemen of chance, but all is the results of a law which cannot err. this is just as true to those who feel "out of harmony"with their surrounding as of those who are contented with them.
That circumstances grow out of thought every man knows who has for any length of time practiced self control and self purification , for he will have noticed that the alteration in his circumstances has been in exact ration with his altered mental condition. So true is this that when a man earnestly applies himself to remedy the defects in his character , and makes a swift and marked progress, he passes rapidly throught a succesion of vicissitudes.
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its uncahstened desires; and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.
Every thought -seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind , and to take root there produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstances.
(Good thoughts bear good fruits, bad thoughts bad fruit)
As a the reaper of his own harvest, man learns both by suffering and bliss.
The divinity that shapes our ends" is in ourselves; it is our very self.
Not what he wishes and prays for does a man get, but what he justly earns. His wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonies with his thoughts and actions.
Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therfore remain bound. The man whose sole object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make great personal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object ; and how much more so he who would realize a strong and well poised life?
Here is a man who is wretchedly poor. He is extremely anxious that his surroundings and home comforts should be improved, yet all the time he shirks his work, and considers he is justified in trying to deceive his employer on the ground of the insufficiency of his wages. such a man does not understand the simples rudiments of those principles which are the basis of true prosperity, and is not only totally unfitted to rise out of wrecthedness by dwelling in , and acting out, indolent, deceptive and unmanly thoughts.
The case above are merely an illustrative of the truth that man is the Causer( though nearly always unconsciously) of his circumstances, and that , whilst aiming at a good end, he is continually frustrating its accomplishment by encouraging thoughts and desires which cannot possibly harmonize with that end.
Good thoughts and action can never produce bad results ; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. This is but saying that nothing can come from corn but corn, nothing from nettles but nettles. Men understand this law in the natural world, and work with it; but few understand it in the mental and moral world (though its operation there is just as simple and undeviating), and they, therfore do not cooperate with it.
Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is and indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the law of his being.

As a man thinketh
"The Aphorism,"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embrace the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every conditionand circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."
In other simpler terms, "You are, what you think you are"
Act is the blossom fo thoughts and joy and sufferings are its fruits ; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry.
Thought in the mind hath made us. what we are
by thought in was wrought and built . if a man's minds hath evil thoughts , pain comes on him as comes.
Man is made or unmade by himself , in the armory of thoughts he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.
Man is always the master , even in his weakest and most abandoned state; but in weakness and degradation he is the foolish master who misgoverns his household. when he begins to reflect up his condition, and to search diligently for the law upon which his being is established, he then becomes the wise master, directing his energies with intelligence , and fashioning his thoughts to fruitful issues.
A man only begins to be a man when he cease to whine and revile , and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life . and he adapts his mind to that regulating factor , he cease to accuse others as the cause of his conditon.

And Finally...
16 THINGS THAT TOOK SOMEONE 40 YEARS TO LEARN:
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that very moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built theArk.A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
*****************
FINAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2030, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections but no idea what to with them.

Post?
and here is a quote (it was quoted from somewhere else) from a forum that i'd like to share:
The Second Miracle of Mindfulness is to make the other present, also. In the Vietnamise poem Tale of Kieu, Kieu returns to the apartment of her beloved, Kim Trong, and finds him asleep at his desk. Kim hears Kieu's footsteps, but not quite awake he asks "Are you really there, or am I dreaming?" Kieu replies, "Now we have the opportunity to see each other clearly. But if we do not live deeply in this moment, it will only be a dream." You and your loved on are here together. You have the chance to see each other deeply. But if you are not fully present, everything will be like a dream.
The Third Miracle of Mindfulness is to nourish the object of your attention. When was the last time you looked into the eyes of your beloved and asked, "Who are you, my darling?" Don't be satisfied by a superficial answer. Ask again, "Who are you who has taken my suffering as your suffering, my happiness as your happiness, my life and death as your life and death?" Ask with your whole being. If you do not give attention to the one you love, it is a kind of killing. When you are in the car together, if you are lost in your thoughts, assuming you already know everything about her, she will slowly die. But with mindfulness, your attention will water the wilting flower. If you do not practice appropriate attention, how can you say you love her?
The Fourth Miracle of Mindfulness is to relieve the other's suffering. "I know you are suffering, that is why I am here for you." If you are not truly present, if you are thinking about other things, the miracle of relieveing suffering cannot be realized. Etc....

The Warmth
I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high-rise today
It's not a breeze cause' it blows hard
Yes, and it wants me to discard the humanity I know
Watch the warmth blow away
Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear?
Or should I hold my head up high
And throw a wrench and spokes by
Leaving the air behind me clear?
Don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came
And while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old.
