Code name from girls

This joke is good and imaginative!
You deserve a good hearty laugh now and then.

Jokes -- Code name from girls


Once upon a time in Singapore, there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng with their 3 lovely daughters; Elaine, Ena & Ella.

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.
Years passed, and it was time to get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable ' leng chais ' (handsome guys).
They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.

As ' concerned ' (more like ' kay-poh ' ) parents, Mr.& Mrs. Ng were curious about their daughters ' first-night experience.
So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Ng told them...... ' Your father and I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands ' curiosity... you all must use a code-name to describe your experiences ' .

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed.
Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter. It was from Elaine.
They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. ' Ah! here it is! ' , exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered was... ' BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY '.
Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The content was simple. 'NESCAFE ' . So, again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. ' Ah! here it is. ' NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP ' . Mr. & Mrs. Ng beamed with joy.
Another week passed. A month passed. And another. There was still no letter from Ella.
The Ngs became worried.
Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name was ' SINGAPORE AIRLINES ' . Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. ' Ah! Here it is! ' Mrs. Ng grabbed the page and read aloud. Before she could finish ...THUMP!!!. ..she fell off her chair. The motto was ... ' 7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP '!

Useful prayer words

GRATEFUL
I once was lost,
now am found,
was blind,
but now I see.
I like to thank You for Your daily provision of life and strength,
and for countless good things You give me each day.

My times are in my Father's hand;
How could I wish or ask for more?
For He who has my path way planned,
will give me till my journey over.


REQUEST
Lord, grant me grace throughout this day,
To walk the straight and narrow way,
To do whatsoever in Thy sight,
Is good and perfect, just and right.

O Lord, You see what's in the heart,
There is nothing hid from You,
So help us live the kind of life,
That's filled with love for You

Let Your word fill my heart,
Rule my heart, and guide my tongue.

STRENGTH
To walk close by Your side,
my dear Savior.
To be led by You, doing each task,
To feast richly on grace of Your table,
And know You are all that I ask.


Truth
Jesus said that we had have trouble
In this world so filled with sin,
But we need not be discouraged-
He will give peace and joy within. - Like the lotus living in the mud- stay unpolluted.

Injustices are hard to bear,
They make us want to fight;
(stay control of our selves; don't act by our flesh; let God be God; don't stir up issue to disharmony the society)
But God knows what we are going through,
In time He will make things right.

Merry Christmas

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.

JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh

JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year

JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies

JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited

JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa

JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap

JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"

JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly

JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO

JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"

JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys

JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but

JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree

JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison.

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.

We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

INVALUABLE TIPS

Take 2 minutes and read through this; you will be amazed at what you can learn!

Bed Sheets
After drying sheets, put both sheets and one pillowcase in the other pillow case. Fold neatly in a square. Next time you change sheets, you just take the one pillow case and all the sheets and pillow case are inside. No need to look for matches.

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass - the fibers catch ones you can't see!

Easier thank you's
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and have everyone put their address on one. When the bride/new mother sends the thank you's, they're all addressed!

Name tag
If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- voila -- static is gone.

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser!
Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...

Good-bye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2 with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When you're ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin.

Congratulations!!!!

You Have Become Much Smarter NOW!!

Poem by Russell Kelfer

Poem by Russell Kelfer which sums up what God is and He does for us.

You are who you are for a reason.
You are part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.

NO, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurts you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Mater's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!

Formula to stay young

We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who we are....live, laugh and love.....:)



HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Try everything twice. On Madam's (of Whelan's and Madam) tombstone she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

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 computers, 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. (Ice cream, good movies, chocolate, more ice cream, more chocolate)

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 that person.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with you your entire life is you. Lost time can never be found. 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 the next county, or a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them at every opportunity. I love you, my special friend.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.

12. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

And if you don't share this with others.

I'll be happy when ...

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with ... and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting ...
Until your car or home is paid off.
Until you get a new car or home.
Until your kids leave the house.
Until you go back to school.
Until you finish school.
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married.
Until you get a divorce.
Until you have kids.
Until you retire.
Until summer..
Until spring.
Until winter.
Until fall.
Until you die.

There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's watching.

If you want to brighten someone's day, share this with someone special.




I just did!

Getting old

"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old man. "You always
feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there and nothing
comes out."

"Ah, that's nothing," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you don't
have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the
toilet all day and nothing' comes out!"


"Actually," said the 80-year -old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."


"Do you have trouble peeing, too?" asked the 60-year old.

"No, not really I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a
flat rock; no problem at all."

"So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?"

"No, I have one every morning at 6:30."

With great exasperation, the 60-year-old said, "Let me get this
straight. You pee every morning at 6:00 and have a movement every morning at
6:30. So what's so bad about being 80?"

"I don't wake up until 7:00."

STROKE IDENTIFICATION

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall,she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital(at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.)

She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. It only takes a minute to read this - Recognizing a Stroke -----

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a
stroke recognized, diagnosed and getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps.
Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.
2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
3. *Ask the person to SAY A SIMPLE SENTENCE

(Coherently) (example: "It is sunny today")

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-9-9 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke
Association's one of the annual meetings.

Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this article and shares it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

BE A FRIEND AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE, you could save their lives.

Microwaved water - One must read

A 26-year old guy decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before).

I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he told me he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but instantly the water in the cup 'blew-up' into his face.

The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face, which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye.. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as: a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is however a much safer choice to boil the water in a teakettle.

General Electric 's (GE) response:

Thanks for contacting us. I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Micro waved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or teabag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds before moving it or adding anything into it.

If you share this with others .... you could very well save someone from a lot of pain and suffering.

Lessons I Learn From the Recent US Election

Well, again the American has made another history, to lead us into new political landscape. Barack Obama was just elected as the first African-American president of the United States. What did the whole thing teach us about leadership and about people? Let me go through each point listed below:

1. Leaders must inspire people before they challenge people to look forward.

Obama was able to inspire people with a picture of a preferred tomorrow- like both Clinton and Reagan before him. When leaders do this, people feel they're able to acknowledge and accept the challenge of the present realities they have to face. This show he has a better foresight to handle the future and does not let the past to hold him back. Another word, he is more looking forward than backward.

2. Leaders must build a brand that creates a tribe.

Barak Obama developed a brand ("Change You Can Believe In") and a tribe of all colors, ages and socio-economic backgrounds. There was a definite identity as Obama supporters. People want to belong to a tribe-so leaders must create one – that show love see no color. More importantly, he admitted the fact that the change is certain and therefore it is more appropriate for the leader to ask their people to get ready and face the changes with confidence.

Obviously Barack Obama was able to create a new culture within his party. I believe this is the challenge of both major political parties, and for that matter, nearly every organization that plans to succeed. This month Growing Leaders is offering a special on the fourth book in the Habitudes™ series: "The Art of Changing Culture."

3. Leaders must communicate in an authentic and sincerely and honestly.

This is not a substance issue but a style issue. People need to "feel" something as they follow their leader. They want to believe in him or her. They love it when their leader is authentic not plastic. (Authentic means "to author"; or to originate one's own identity.) In addition, people love to follow a leader who uses fresh technology. It gives them the sense the leader is on the cutting edge. Leader must always blow consistent trumpet so that he sends the right and not confusing statement to his followers so as to get confidence from his people. In short, he must walk on his talk.

4. Leaders must connect with ordinary people.

This one is a lesson from both candidates. People want to see the humanity of their leader. They want to experience a connection with him or her. They want to feel he understands us. They do not want to choose a leader who lives in Ivory tower and believe the leader can identify with them-like the neighbor next door. John McCain did this by talking about his P.O.W. experience in Vietnam. He was a hero, but he was a human who struggled and suffered in his past. Barak Obama did this by talking about his boyhood years, being raised by a single mom and his grandparents - - not a wealthy, nuclear family. And he's from a minority race. People are impressed with a leader's achievements, but they identify with a leader's struggles. That’s show that he really know the issue his people is facing so that his people will know that he can tackle it with confidence.

5. Leaders must foster a hope that people can make a difference.

The most important question in any election is: who inspires more? The leader who projects greater hope for the people, gets followed. Today, because of the present unrest and uncertainty in the US country, people voted for the quality and capability leader. People felt that Barak Obama is more capable to handle on where the future was going than John McCain did. If a leader can instill confidence, and if the leader can motivate ordinary people to join them because they will make a difference in history. . . you've got yourself a winning combination.

6. Leaders must unite the people and not divide them

Leaders must be able to unite his people, but not divide them and rule. Obama has demonstrated such a excellent quality by retaining his political rival to work together with him to overcome the unprecedented economic challenge in the history of the United Stated. In this sense, he realized and acknowledged that he needed more talented and capable people to address those critical issues at hand - well indicate his maturity and capability in handling these critical issues, which earn him the confidence and respect from his people.

7. Leaders must put the people interest above their individual interest

Leaders must show that he put the people interest first since the people who give his people first. Therefore it is more appropriate that the people interest must always put above of everything. He should put aside of their individual differences aside and work together to overcome the challenges his people are currently facing. He must admit and accept the effectiveness of servant leadership.

8. Leaders be selected based on his wisdom and capability

Leaders be selected based on his capability and wisdom so as to reflect the maturity of the society. In this aspect, we all can’t deny that the US has well ahead of any other countries in the world. This is not only a concern to America, but the rests of the world as well. Being the might in the world, it is definitely directly, or indirectly affects the lives of everybody so long as you stay in this planet. Therefore, it is everybody concerns that this great nation is fall into good hand and ultimately to ensure that the third world war would not erupted.

Use this as a platform for discussion to polish your own leadership.
我先生一直在外商工作,出國開會,晚上應酬是常事。我們結婚一年小孩就出生了,我先生工作更忙,而我剛好也轉換一個新工作,早上 7點半要到公司開早會,聽解盤。我一個新手媽媽,不懂訣竅,小孩凌晨一點喝奶,清晨五點喝奶,我的睡眠時間被分割,新換的業務工作壓力,也常常讓我失眠。而我先生依然如常的上下班,我一肩扛起照顧小孩的責任,有時凌晨一點起床餵奶同時,還一邊替他準備解酒茶水及熱毛巾,因為他剛應酬回家。小孩四個月大時,他爭取到美國 St. Jose外訓行程一個月,我們發生了很大的爭執,希望他放棄,希望他在家陪我,因為我累了,新工作和照顧新生兒的壓力,讓我瘦的比產前還瘦。我先生告訴我,我不懂他的志向,像故事中的邱先生,自比為大鳥。我含淚讓他去美國,一個人早上送小孩去保母家,下班接回小孩,週末去陪他父母吃飯。一個月後他回來了,公司 Promote他,他志得意滿,人生似乎很平順。可是我的身體越來越差,我決定和他一起分攤照顧小孩的工作,我請他晚上幫忙照顧小孩,讓我好好睡一個月。他答應一個月不應酬,每晚回家帶小孩。不到一個月時間,有天我早晨醒來,看到他坐在身旁,他顯然是很早起床,要不就沒睡,他很慎重的問:『老婆我問你,這半年來你照顧小孩,都是這樣睡睡醒醒嗎?』我答: 『是啊。』他問: 『妳怎沒說?』我答: 『我說了,但你體會不到。』沉默了一會兒,他說:『如果我累了,可辭職回家帶小孩,養家是男人的天職。』但我告訴他: 『他也不懂我的志向,我和他受同樣的教育,我也有自己想要的人生,我也想被認同。』《我們是在國外求學時認識,一回國就結婚。》 他沉默許久,很憐惜的看著我說:『老婆,妳真的好辛苦。』從此以後,我先生很少應酬,一回家就換下衣服陪小孩。但出差到國外還是少不了,我也不再阻止。幾年後我們有了第二個兒子,生活更加忙碌,但我們很少爭執,因為我們各自在自己崗位上發展,並且互相支援。這幾年外商漸漸撤離台灣,我先生也面臨短暫失業,有天他對我說: 『老婆,妳有工作讓我減輕不少壓力,我可以慢慢尋找適合的工作。』後來他到一家上市公司負責中國南方的經營策略,常常海峽兩岸奔走,我還是一個人接送小孩,一個人上下班,週末陪他父母吃飯。最近他有較長的時間在台灣,回想結婚這十年來,他像大鵬鳥一樣四處飛翔,剛出社會時覺得太早結婚,婚姻某種程度上是他的牽絆,但現在卻老想回家。他說走遍世界各地,每到夜晚最想念的還是家裡的大床。我倒覺得我先生越來越像我兩個兒子,回到家總愛黏著我。我每天回家都聽兒子講學校發生的事,培養和小孩互動機會,我先生也急於和我分享他工作上的大小事,我因為從事承銷業務,對上市公司財務業務接觸廣泛,也常能提供他一些訊息及建議。我的感覺是婚姻生活是兩人 Compromise 的結果,沒有誰是大鳥,誰是小鳥。如果你飛的比較快,記得停下來等等對方,兩人要心存感激,互相扶持,讓兩人可以飛得久久長長。 畢竟…能夠一起飛,才是…人生最大的福氣。『夫子曰:如果你沒有準備好和對方一起走,切勿輕言結婚!』夫妻如果沒有共同的理想、抱負,其中一方就會像 《良駒》一樣,很痛苦地和 《一般牛》擠在同一柵欄中吃食;而 《美麗的鳳凰》,也會很委屈地和 《普通雞》 一樣,被關在同一籠中餵食。 ------------ 幸福思考;聰明行動 ------------幸福的保障,不在於別人的承諾,而是自我心態的調整。在享受快樂的時候 ,做好擁抱痛苦的心理準備。看信是一種幸福、它代表你有空閒沒空看信也是一種幸福、它代表你有比看信更重要的事忙著

有关癌症--请看完,再先寄给别人-功德无量
三十多年前有一位服务于公卖局台北啤酒厂的张先生,参加该啤酒场 选派技术人员到国外深造的考试,以优异的成绩及格。在出国前经某公立医院体检发现,罹患有像孩拳头大小的肺部肿瘤,因而不能出国。
张先生非常失望之余,一直怀疑诊断有误;于是再到另一家医院检查,结果还是证实原来的诊断并无错误。当时年轻力壮的张先生得到这样的绝症,在人生绝望之余,多次打电话给当时任职台东县政府黄顺兴县长机要秘书的魏姓同学。
魏姓同学便利用星期日赶到台北和张先生见面,张先生向魏同学详述相关绝望的详情和悲观感受,并请位同学协助其后事,恰逢魏同学与前任马偕医院院长1949-55专精于癌症临床研究的吕革令博士)系知交好友。当即建议前往访求吕博士医治,起初张先生说不愿再看医生,以免徒增伤悲;但魏同学说先前已以电话请教过吕博士并安排好时间,张先生只好偕同前往吕博士住处造访。吕博士和张先生见面就说:魏先生是我的好友,介绍你和我认识是我们缘份,感谢上帝赐给我们这个机会;我请教你:『癌为什幺叫绝症,你可知道吗?』」
张先生和魏先生都不知道如何作答。
吕博士又说:「人类医治癌症到目前为止只有两条路,第一条路是消灭病源,第二条路是增加抵抗力。但很奇怪的是,癌无论用钴60或其它药物去消灭癌细胞,可是癌细胞还没被消灭,好的细胞却先被杀死。另无论用什幺营养、补药,好的细胞还未吸收,癌细胞却先吸收、让癌长得更快;因此可说上述两条路都行不通、所以叫绝症。」
吕博士又说:人类的聪明连登陆月球也都已经成功,但为什幺没有人去怀疑上述两条治癌的路是在钻牛角尖,另外找第三条路?感谢上帝赐给我以往在马偕医 院做癌症方面的临床实验,并得院内各部同仁协助的机会,我发现癌症病人血液检查的结果百分之百都是酸性反应。长期素食、且生活接近然的佛寺僧尼,由于体质都偏属优质弱碱性,所以尚没有发现罹患癌症的病例。因此我大胆的断定在弱碱性体质的状态下,癌细胞是无法生长、甚至是无法生存的。张先生我建议你从现在起少吃酸性的荤食类,多吃碱性食物,另外可吃绿藻和带壳菱角汤,改变你的体质,并励行接近自然的良好生活规律;如果五年内不死、你就没问题了,愿上帝祝福你。」
张先生依照吕博士的建议,认真改变吃的习惯,每天又吃绿藻、喝菱角汤,乐观加上每天适当的运动,一年后再到同一公立医院检查结果,发现肿瘤不但没有长大、反而已呈现萎缩状态,遂令医院检查人员惊为奇迹,五年后竟完全处于萎缩、至近于消失状态。
经过了将近四十年岁月,现在张先生的健康情况完全正常,生活起居甚为愉快。继张先生之后,有位前台东省立医院总务课长陈添寿先生,同样得到肺癌;魏先生得知后将张先生的经过转告陈添寿先生,陈先生乃依照吕博士的建议进行改变体质,结果与张先生同样愈癌症。
那时吕博士全家已移民美国,事后吕博士回来台湾再与魏先生见面时,魏先生将张先生和陈先生的经过告诉吕博士,并提议由他们俩位亲自向吕博士陈述,请吕博士发表其改变体质之自疗成果报告。吕博士谦虚地回答说:我年事已大,! 且没有临床纪录不能做为成果。请魏先生转告亲友,如果友人认同的话,请他们继续做体验并广为宣导........。」
关心自己也要关心别人,85﹪癌症病患属于酸性体质。健康人的血液是成弱碱性的,约是PH7.35~7.45左右。婴儿也是属于弱碱性的体质。成长期的成人有体质酸化的现象。根据一项六百位癌症病人体液分布的研究,显示85﹪癌症病患属于酸性体质。因此,如何使体质维持在弱碱性就是远离疾病的第一步。
酸性体质的生理表征:
1.皮肤无光泽。
2.香港脚。
3.稍做运动即感疲劳,一上公车便想睡觉。
4.上下楼梯容易气喘。
5.肥胖、下腹突出。
6.步伐缓慢、动作迟缓。
为什幺会形成酸性体质?
1.过度摄取乳酸性食品
a)肉类、奶酪制品与蛋、牛肉、火腿等皆属于酸性食品。
b)摄取过量的酸性食品血液会倾向酸性而变黏稠,不易流到细血管的末稍,而易造成手脚或膝盖的冷寒症,以及肩膀僵硬和失眠等。
c)年轻力壮时吃适量的肉类是对的,但老年人则以蔬菜或小鱼为宜。
2.生活步调失常会造成酸性体质
a)生活步调失常会造成精神与肉体的压力。
b)据统计,晚睡者罹患癌症的机率比正常人高出五倍。
c)人类本来就活在节奏的世界里,无法事先储备睡眠或饮食,也不能日夜颠倒。
d)人体内脏受自律神经控制,白天主要是交感神经活动,晚上则由副交感神经工作,若使其错乱及倒置,就亦百病滋生。
3.情绪过于紧张
a)文明社会会造成的压力。
b)工作上或精神上的压力。
c)当一个人承受精神压力后,一旦紧张松弛,时会造成猝死,称为潜在性副肾皮质机能不全症。
4.肉体的紧张
a)动手术之前应先检查肾上腺皮质机能是否正常。如果副肾皮质机能较差, 或手术压力远超过副肾调整功能,则可能造成病人死亡或其它不良影响。
b)若发现病患脸部浮肿,需详加询问病史及服药状况,为长期服用肾上腺皮质贺尔蒙者,施以针灸要特别注意反应。
c)劳动或运动过度,通宵打牌、开车等压力都应尽量避免。
附录:常见食物的酸碱性
1.强酸性食品:蛋黄、奶酪、白糖做的西点或柿子、乌鱼子、柴鱼等。
2.中酸性食品:火腿、培根、鸡肉、鲔鱼、猪肉、鳗鱼、牛肉、面包、小麦、奶油、马肉等。
3.弱酸性食品:白米、落花生、啤酒、酒、油炸豆腐、海苔、文蛤、章鱼,泥鳅。
4.弱碱性食品:红豆、萝卜、苹果、甘蓝菜、 洋葱、豆腐等。
5.中碱性食品:萝卜干、大豆、红萝卜、蕃茄、 香蕉、橘子、番瓜、草莓、蛋白、梅干、柠檬、菠菜等。
6.强碱性食品:葡萄、茶叶、葡萄酒、海带芽、海带等。 尤其是天然绿藻富含叶绿素,是不错的碱性健康食品,而茶类不宜过量,最佳饮用时间为早上。

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes."

The woman said, "That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to".

The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me."

So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.

The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you."

The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."
So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

JOY

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.

The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food.The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife.

The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land.

On the other side of the island, there was nothing. Soon the first man prayed for a house,clothes, and more food. The next day, like magic,all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to leave, the first man
heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered.

"His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything."

"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."

"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?"

"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. This is too good not to share.

With obedience come blessings. My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed.

"What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself"

A good friend shared this with me, please share this with your friend.

Have a great day! By the way, just do not forget this in order to receive JOY in your heart is this -

Jesus, others and then yourself (JOY)

Lord Grant Me a wish

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer when all of a sudden he said aloud, "Lord grant me one wish".

The sky clouded and a booming voice said, "Because you have tried to be faithful I will grant you one wish."

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want to."

The Lord answered, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time to think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me".

The man thought for a long time and finally said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know what they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly happy?"

After a few minutes God said, "How many lanes do you want on that bridge?"

little faith

In our previous article well describe about what the will power can do for you. Today, we are more than happy to share with you about some of its histroy, which I have received from my good friend and one the contributors from this blog, Mejar Chan JL. Thanks to his generously supports.

We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are. Anais Nin.

TO ALL:
IN LIFE WE ARE ALL FACED WITH ADVERSITY AND WITH WHAT APPEAR TO BE IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGES. PLEASE SCROLL AND LEARN ABOUT 'WITH A LITTLE FAITH'. Hal Miller


The owner/trainer of this remarkable dog is Jude Stringfellow who lives in Edmond , Oklahoma . Recently she has been busy taking Faith to Veterans Hospitals all over the country where he inspires wounded miltary patients.
-- The Trouper

This is called 'Faith.' His name is Faith!This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002. He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.

His first owner also did not think that he could survive. Therefore, he was thinking of putting him to sleep. At this time, his present owner Jude Stringfellow met him and wanted to take care of him. She was determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him 'Faith.' In the beginning, she put Faith on a surf board to let him feel the movements of the water. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and to reward him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dogs at home helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly, after only 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, he can now walk like a human being.

Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared in various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.

His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching job and plans to take him around the world to preach that, 'even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul.'

In life there are always undesirable things. Perhaps one will feel better if one changes the point of view from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone can appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day that follows.

Healing your own heart is the single most powerful thing you can do to change the world.

Go for Bananas

This is very interesting.'''After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again

-Bananas.
Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucosecombined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for astrenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruitwith the world's leading athletes.But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can alsohelp overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions,making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin inthe blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassiumyet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so,the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry tomake official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of bloodpressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obesewere more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levelsby snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit thatcan be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat,sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassiumlevels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine,"eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

SHARE THIS WITH ALL OF YOUR ON-LINE FRIENDS and FAMILYPS

Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!

Smile

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.
Life is short but a smile takes barely a second.
Every tear has a smile behind it.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn't climb over it.
If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.
A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around
Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.
Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, which have the potential to turn a life around.
Smiles are the language of love.
The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.
A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.
All people smile in the same language.

Children smile on the average 400 times/day; Adults: 15 times/day.. Ever wonder why?
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.
If I thought that a smile of mine, might linger the whole day through and lighten some heart with a heavier part, I'd not withhold it -- Would you?
Smile because God gave Human this beautiful gift - A Smile....

She is a woman

If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman
If you don't, you are not a man

If you praise her, she thinks you are lying
If you don't, you are good for nothing

If you agree to all her likes, you are a wimp
If you don't, you are not understanding

http://funlok.com/index.php/humor/she-is-a-woman.html

If you visit her often, she thinks it is boring
If you don't, she accuses you of double-crossing

If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy
If you don't, you are a dull boy

If you are jealous, she says it's bad
If you don't, she thinks you do not love her

If you attempt a romance, she says you didn't respect her
If you don't, she thinks you do not like her

If you are a minute late, she complains it's hard to wait
If she is late, she says that's a girl's way

If you visit another man, you're not putting in "quality time"
If she is visited by another woman, "oh it's natural, we are girls"

If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold
If you kiss her often, she yells that you are taking advantage

If you fail to help her in crossing the street, you lack ethics
If you do, she thinks it's just one of men's tactics for seduction

She is a woman

If you stare at another woman, she accuses you of flirting
If she is stared by other men, she says that they are just admiring

If you talk, she wants you to listen
If you listen, she wants you to talk

In short:
So simple, yet so complex
So weak, yet so powerful
So damning, yet so wonderful
So confusing, yet so desirable................

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. 'Is there anything breakable in here?' asked the postal clerk.'Only the Ten Commandments. ' answered the lady. ========

'Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world.There are those who wake up in the morning and say, 'Good morning, Lord,'and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, 'Good Lord, it's morning.'

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: 'I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.'When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note 'I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.'

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: 'I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets.'

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, 'Boys and girls, what do we know about God?'

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, 'Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt.'

VATICAN HUMOR
After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices the Pope is still standing on the curb..

'Excuse me, Your Holiness,' says the driver, 'Would you please take your seat so we can leave?'

'Well, to tell you the truth,' says the Pope, 'they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today.'

'I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! What if something should happen?' protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.

'Who's going to tell?' says the Pope with a smile? Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 205 kph. (Remember, the Pope is German.)

'Please slow down, Your Holiness!' pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.'Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my job!' moans the driver..

The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.'I need to talk to the Chief,' he says to the dispatcher.The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going 205 kph.'So bust him,' says the Chief.

'I don't think we want to do that, he's really important,' said the cop.
The Chief exclaimed,' All the more reason!'
'No, I mean really important,' said the cop with a bit of persistence.
The Chief then asked, 'Who do you have there, the mayor?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: ' A senator?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: 'The Prime Minister?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'Well,'
said the Chief, 'Who is it?'
Cop: 'I think it's God!'
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, 'What makes you think it's God?'
Cop: 'His chauffeur is the Pope!'

Fresh fish - very inspiring

Fresh Fish

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish.If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh.The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish.The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days,they lost their fresh-fish taste.

The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired and dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep usawake and moving? Basically in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and taste better.....The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a challenge. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are Conqueror.

You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!

The Husband Store

A brand new store has just opened in New York City that sells Husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:- "You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you ascend the flights. You may choose any item from a particular floor or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building!So, a woman goes to the

Husband Store to find a husband.
The 1st floor sign reads:: Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the 4th floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help with Housework."Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have A Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads:Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just across the street.

The 1st floor has wives who love sex.
The 2nd floor has wives who love sex and have money.
The 3rd through 6th floors have never been visited.

THE BRICK

Dear readers,

Read this today and don't ignore it if you are too busy!! You'll see why.


THE BRICK

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared . Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?'

The young boy was apologetic. 'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother, 'he said. 'He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger.

Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.

Thought for the Day:

God sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

主題: Fw: 轉寄:英國燈泡包裝紙上的警語
我不清楚台灣的燈泡是不是跟英國一樣。在英國,燈泡的包裝紙上都有警告-- Do not put that object into your mouth.

意思是不要把燈泡放進口中。那有人會放這東西進口中?英國人都有些白痴 ... 告訴你,世事無絕對! 有天我和一個印度朋友在家中看電視,我和他談到這件事,他告訴我 他們小學的教科書也有說到,燈泡放進口後便會卡住, 無論如何都拿不出來,他十分肯定書是那麼說的..

但我十分懷疑,我認為燈泡的表面是十分滑的,如果可以放得進口,證明口部足夠大讓其出入,理論上也可以拿出來。

但這印度白痴只說書上是那麼說的... 便一定是正確 ... 我被他這種不求甚解的態度弄火了,我說他笨,他說我不會英文不看書... 我們便吵了起來 ... 我一肚火地回了家,拿起一個普通大小的燈泡在床上左想右想, 始終認為我沒有錯, 想到這印度朋友的無知,也本著科學家的精神----- 大膽假設,小心求證。

我決定要證實給他看。當然,我也做了安全措施...買了一瓶菜油回家。一切就緒,二話不說便把燈泡放進口中 ...

不消 1秒便滑入了口,倒也容易...照這樣看要拿出來絕無問題。心想你這印度白痴,看看我中國人的智慧和膽色吧!不像你這書呆子...心想中國戰勝印度 ... 打從心裡笑了出來...哈哈!

於是我輕鬆的拉了燈泡一下......... 好!我放多點力 ........o.k !我把口張大一 些 ........ 不怕,我把口張到最大,再放多一點力 ( 要很小心拉才能避免燈破掉)......... 媽的! ... 真的在嘴巴內卡住了 ......好在還有瓶菜油 .........

( 30 分鐘後)我倒了3/4瓶油,其中一半倒了進肚,但那燈泡還是動也不動... 這時候,我只好打電話求救 ...................... 正當我按到一半,我記起我口中塞了個燈泡 ... 如何說話?

現在我只好向鄰居求助,我寫了一張便條後便去找鄰家那老婦。她一見我便大呼救命 ...我立即給她看我的便條 --- please call me a taxi and tell the driver to take me hospital.

(請招呼一輛計程車,還請告訴司機載我到醫院。)

她看了大約1.75 分鐘後大聲狂笑... (如果我說得出話我便 K她了.) 15分鐘後,計程車來了。 司機一見我,笑了一回 ( 其實他一直沒有停過)。 在計程車上不停的問我何以這麼做 ...(...***... 我如何答他?)

還不停說我的口太小,如果是他的口便沒有問題... 我看看他的口真是很大 ... 但我好想告訴他,無論如何不要試...可惜我開不了口!我看看他的倒後鏡,我好像含住了一條金魚 ... 在醫院,我被護士罵了十多分鐘,說我浪費她們時間。

還要我排一條很長的龍... 我在人群中待了2.5小時 ...2.5小時... 那些痛楚萬分的傷者,看見我都好像不痛了 ...人人都偷偷笑出來... 我覺得自己還有些作用 ... 醫生把綿花放進我口的兩旁,然後把燈泡打碎...一片片的拿出來... 我的口腫得很大 ...最後他告訴我下回不要再試,和告訴別人我的經驗 ... 我告訴他,我一定不會了。

當我離開醫院時,我在想,這地球一定沒有像我這麼白痴的生物了... 當我開門離開時,迎面來了一個人,是剛才那計程車司機 ...他口中含了一個燈泡 .......

註:因為燈泡是圓形的 而人的口腔構造要含住燈泡很簡單 但是當你要吐出燈泡時 因為牙齒會卡住燈泡中間最寬的地方 如果用力張開嘴巴 口腔內部又會施壓到燈泡 所以就吐不出來了!! 也因此,國外的燈泡包裝上 會註明:請勿放到嘴巴!!

Warren Buffett's 7 Secrets for Living a Happy and Simple Life

Warren Buffett's 7 Secrets for Living a Happy and Simple Life

Warren Buffett never flies in a private jet -- even though he owns the largest private jet company. He also lives in a small three-bedroom house he bought 50 years ago, and keeps himself occupied by playing online bridge.It is refreshing, and inspiring, to hear of a man with all the wealth in the world who still believes that happiness lies not with riches but within yourself.You, too, may become immensely happier by integrating some of the following wisdom into your own life.

Secret #1: Happiness comes from within.
“In my adult business life I have never had to make a choice of trading between professional and personal. I tap-dance to work, and when I get there it’s tremendous fun.” -- Warren Buffett

If you do what you love and love what you do, you’ll naturally be productive.

Secret #2: Find happiness in simple pleasures.
“I have simple pleasures. I play bridge online for 12 hours a week.” -- Warren Buffett

You can also learn to be happy with the simple pleasures of playing cards with friends, playing with your children or taking a walk in the wilderness.

Secret #3: Live a simple life.
“I just naturally want to do things that make sense. In my personal life too, I don’t care what other rich people are doing. I don’t want a 405 foot boat just because someone else has a 400 foot boat.” -- Warren Buffett

Keeping up with the Joneses is the worst epidemic among those who should never contemplate that notion in the first place. Less is more.

Secret #4: Think Simply.
“I want to be able to explain my mistakes. This means I do only the things I completely understand.” -- Warren Buffett

If you apply this rule in your life, you can develop clarity and sanity in your thoughts. Life is about simple yet profound choices.

Secret #5: Invest Simply.
“The best way to own common stocks is through an index fund.” -- Warren Buffett

Often, the simplest route will bring you the most riches, and the most happiness.

Secret #6: Have a mentor in life.
“I was lucky to have the right heroes. Tell me who your heroes are and I’ll tell you how you’ll turn out to be. The qualities of the one you admire are the traits that you, with a little practice, can make your own, and that, if practiced, will become habit-forming.” -- Warren Buffett

Having a mentor is as important as having a purpose in your life, but having a wrong mentor is as devastating as having a wrong purpose in your life. The mentor has to be someone you can trust. You’ll find that person in your inner circle if you think hard enough.

Secret #7: Making money isn’t the backbone of your guiding purpose; making money is the by-product of your guiding purpose.

“If you’re doing something you love, you’re more likely to put your all into it, and that generally equates to making money.” -- Warren Buffett

Money should never become the object and end all of your motivation.

Dying for what

So, don't repeat the similar mistake and remember that you are born to live. So, enjoy every moment of your life.

CRUISE CONTROL

NEVER KNEW THIS BEFORE I wonder how many people know about this? A 36-year-old female had an accident several weeks ago and totalled her car.A resident of Wollongong, NSW, she was travelling between Wollongong & Sydney.It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!

When she explained to the policeman what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She had thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain.But the policeman told her that if the cruise control is on and your car begins to hydroplane -- when your tyres lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed and you take off like an airplane.She told the policeman that was exactly what had occurred.

The policeman estimated her car was actually traveling through the air at 10 to 15 kms per hour faster than the speed set on the cruise control. The policeman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning.

We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the road is dry. The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the policeman), was a man who had had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries.

If you share this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life.

Tears of a woman

A little boy asks his mother: “why do you cry?”
“Because I am a woman.” She answers.
“I don’t understand” he says.
His mother hugs him and says: “and you never will.”
Later the little boy asked his father: “Why does mommy cry?”
“All women cry for no reason,” is all that his father could answer him.

When he became an adult he asked God: “God, why woman cry so easily?”
When I created woman, she needed to be special.
I created her shoulders strong enough to bear the weight of the world…

And soft enough to be comfortable.
I gave her the strength to give life,
The kind that accepts the rejection that often comes from children.
I gave her the strength to allow her to go on when everybody else give up.

The kind that takes care of her family, despite illness and fatigue.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children unconditionally, even when they have hurt her deeply.
I gave her the strength to endure her husband in his faults.
And finally, I gave her tears to shed whenever she needs them to be shed.
You see my son, the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, nor is it in her face or in the way she does her hair.

The beauty of a woman resides in her eyes.
It is the door to her heart, the door where love resides.
And it is often through her tears that you see her heart go by.

Share this message..

Lift the spirit of other women!
Let the world know that all beings are beautiful!
To those who have made you smiled.
When you needed it the most…
To those who have made you see the good side of things when you only saw the worse…
To those to whom you want to say “How much you value their relationship…or simply…..
…thank you for giving me a glimpse of ….
….a better world……..

Have a wonderful day!!

Love 2008

THE PERFECT MARRIAGE

PRICELESS

For those of you old enough to remember Red Skelton, I think you will enjoy this e-mail. For those of you not old enough, you will see what you missed. Either way, his humor was always clean and he was a great entertainer. A rerun of great one liner's from the man who was known for his clean humor.

I hope you get a chuckle or two reading them once more
RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE


1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship
She goes on Tuesdays; I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds.Hers is in California , and mine is in Texas ..
3. I take my wife everywhere....but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.
So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker.She said 'There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!' So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor.I asked where the car was. She told me, 'In the lake.'
8. She got a mud pack, and looked great for two days.Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, 'Am I too late for the garbage?' The driver said, 'No, jump in!'
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though.My wife asked, 'What's on the TV?'
I said, 'Dust!'
Can't you just hear him say all of these? I love it........these were the good old days when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word. It was just clean and simple fun.
And he always ended his programs with the words, 'God Bless.' .
