I couldnt believe that I could actually understand what I was reading

THE PHENOMENAL POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND

According to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in the word are, the only important things is that the first and the last letters be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you still can read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.

Amazing huh ?

As I mature....

As I Mature  I've learned that you cannot make
someone love you. All you can do is
stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people are just *****s.

I've learned that it takes years
to build up trust, and it only takes
suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that you can get by
on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better have a big willy
or huge boobs.

I've learned that you shouldn't
compare yourself to others - they are
more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting
long after you think you're finished.

I've learned that we are responsible
for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that regardless of
how hot and steamy a relationship is at
first, the passion fades, and there had better
be a lot of money to take its place!

I've learned that 99% of the time when
something isn't working in your house, one
of your kids did it

I've learned that the people you care most
about in life are taken from you too soon
and all the less important ones just never go away.

Pass this along to 5 friends...trust me,
they'll appreciate it. Who knows, maybe
Something good will happen.
If not...tough shit.

Are you the weakest link? Below are four (4)  questions. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time,  answer all of them immediately.
OK? Let's find out just how clever you  really are.

Ready?

GO!!! (scroll  down)



First Question:
You are  participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are  you  in?


Answer:  If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong!If you  overtake the second person and you take his place, you are  second!

You're not very good  at this are you?



Third Question: Very tricky math! Note: This  must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a  calculator. Try it.

What price happiness?

Not a king's ransom, actually. Experts say the key to happiness is not a big bank balance but a positive attitude towards life


SYDNEY - You don't need millions to be happy.

At The Happiness Institute in Australia, A$200 (S$240) may do the trick.


Since the institute opened its doors this year, men and women of all ages have been paying this fee for lessons in how to feel great.

'You can actually increase your happiness levels. That's what we teach,' said Mr Timothy Sharp, the founder of the institute.

Experts say only about 15 per cent of happiness comes from income, assets and other financial factors. As much as 90 per cent comes from elements such as attitude, life control and relationships.

The Happiness Institute is part of what American economist Paul Zane Pilzer calls the 'Wellness Revolution'.

In his book of the same name, he says the next trillion-dollar industry after cars and information technology will be in preventative businesses that help people find peace, health and happiness.

While most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, happiness levels haven't changed to reflect that.

Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness.

Mr Sharp said: 'It's definitely not a guarantee. The difference between someone on say US$30,000 a year and someone on US$300,000 a year is actually very small. A lot of people are surprised by that.'

Said strategist James Montier in a recent memo to clients: 'A vast array of individuals seriously overrate the importance of money in making themselves, and others, happy.

'Since the 1950s, people's happiness levels have been remarkably constant despite a massive growth in income per head over the same time horizon,' he noted.

Among the top 10 generators of happiness, alongside sleep, exercise and enjoying the moment, was sex.

A study of 1,000 working women last year also found sex was rated as producing the largest amount of happiness. Commuting was the least pleasurable activity.

Economists David Blanchflower of Dartmouth College and Andrew Oswald of Warwick University studied 16,000 Americans and calculated that going from having sex monthly to weekly gave about the same amount of happiness as a US$50,000 (S$85,600) raise.

Behavioural economists say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is because we compare ourselves to people who are better off materially.

'The argument is that if you want to be happy, there's a very simple thing you can do: compare yourself to people who are less well off than you - poorer, smaller house, car,' said Mr Sharp. 'What a lot of people do is quite the opposite.'

The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness drivers by focusing on 'more than just your bank balance'.

'If I compare myself to Bill Gates, then I'm always going to be well down,' said Mr Sharp, adding that a better benchmark might be Mr Kerry Packer, Australia's richest man who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years.

'Would you really want to have US$4 billion if it meant your kidneys are shot?' he asked. -- Reuters

good atricle...please read


                               Discover the 90/10 Principle.

It will change your  life (at least the way u  react to  situation  .What is this  principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% is decided by how you  react.
what does this mean?
We really have no control over 10% of what happens  to us. We cannot stop  the car  from breaking down; the plane being  late in  arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no ontrol over this  10%. The other 90% is different.
You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction.You cannot
control a red light.,but YOU can  control how you react.Let's
use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family.Your daughter knocks
over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt.you have no control   over what just happppened. What happens next will be determined by  how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup  over. She breaks down  in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your  spouse and criticize her for  placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows.You storm upstairs and change your shirt.Back downstairs,you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse  must leave immediately  for work. You rush to the car and drive your  daughter to school. Because  you are late, you drive 110 km/h in a  80 km/h speed limit. After a  15-minute delay and throwing $300 & some demerit  points (traffic fine)  away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into  the building without  saying goodbye. You arrive at the office 20 minutes  late, because of how  you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad  day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is obviously D. You had no control over  what happened with the  coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what  caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened....

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to  cry. You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need to be more careful  next time". Grabbing a  towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you  come back down in time to look through the window  and see your child  getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and  your spouse kiss before  you go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and  cheerfully greet the staff.
Your boss comments on how good the day you are  having. Notice the
difference? Two different scenarios. Both started  the same. Both ended  different. Why? Because of how you REACTED . You  really do not have any  control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was
determined by your  reaction. Here are some ways to apply it! the 90/10  principle.

If someone says something negative about you, don't  be a sponge. Let the  attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have  to let the negative  comment affect you.  React properly and it will not  ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being  fired, getting stressed out  etc. How do you react if someone cuts you off intraffic?  Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel and hurt your own fingers? Do you curse? Does your blood pressure rocket? Do you try  and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work?  Why let  the cars ruin your drive?

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told  you lost your job. Why lose sleep and  get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into  finding another job. The  plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule
for the day. Why take  out your frustration on the flight attendant? She  has no control over what  is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the  other passengers. Why  get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10  principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is incredible. It seems simple  common-sense but very few apply this principle! The result? Millions of  people are suffering from undeserved stress, court trials, problems and
heartaches. They never seem  to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time. Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It will change your life!

THE WOODEN BOWL
=============

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and
four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his steps faltered. The family  ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and  failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. We must do something about Grandfather, " said the
son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor."

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There,
Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had  broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making? " Just as sweetly, the boy responded,  "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk  spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note ------

I've learned that, no matter what happens or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch - holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn

We are born with two eyes in front,
because we must not always look behind.
But see what lies ahead,  beyond us.

We are born to have two ears - one left one right
so we can hear both sides.
Collect both the  compliments and criticisms,
to see which are right.

We are born with a brain concealed in a skull.
Then no matter how poor we are, we are still rich. For
no one can  steal what our brains contains. Packing
in more jewels and rings  than you can think.

We are born with two eyes, two  ears, but one
mouth.For the mouth is a sharp weapon, it can hurt,
flirt, kill.Remember to talk less, listen and see more.

We are born with only one heart, deep in our
ribs.It reminds us to appreciate and give love from
deep within.

Turn off the sun, Daddy
===============
I've worked with words almost all my life, but seeing my small son learn to use the language is a wonder, and a joy, to behold

By Paul Zach

ONE morning earlier this year, my son woke up in what he would call a 'grumpy' mood.

Sean was 3 1/2 years old at the time, and had just started pre-school. The concept that he had to get out of bed at 7.30am to get to school by 8.30am had no meaning for him.

I snapped on the bedroom light. He snapped up. 'Turn off the sun! I can't open my eyes!' he cried, his eyes squeezed tight for dramatic effect.

Then, in a move straight out of the Marlon Brando school of method acting, he snapped his body back towards the pillow - and the hard wall behind him.

My heart skipped several beats at once. Fortunately, his head only grazed the wall.

That didn't matter to Sean. He played the moment for all it was worth.

'I want you to move the wall, Daddy!' he wailed. 'It's too close!'

Suddenly, I was a little envious.

One of the joys of being a father, especially for someone who has worked with words almost every day for some 40 years, has been listening to my little boy learn to use them.

Without years of reading, writing, and grammar classes to inhibit him, he blurts out one colourful expression after another.

I only wish I could dip into the same font of creativity as easily as Sean does every time he opens his mouth every time I sit down to write and face a blank screen.

Take the afternoon about a month ago when he walked into the kitchen and saw the top of the rice cooker bubbling away.

'Mummy, look. It's dancing,' he said, describing what it was doing with a much more original word than my 'bubbling'.

Then there was the time he had diarrhoea. While sitting on his Sesame Street toilet seat, he looked between his legs and with a bemused look on his face came up with a uninhibitedly accurate description of what appeared to be happening.

'I pooped pee,' he said.

There are many times Sean suddenly lets loose with long, off-the-wall monologues, not just short sentences, too.

Early in May, still three months short of his fourth birthday, he suddenly told me: 'Mummy and you have to get married again because you have to have a baby girl and a baby boy so I can feed them baby food.

'And they'll crawl round and round and then I'll rub them and put them by my bed so they don't run away, and they grow big and can all play with me.'

Now my wife and I had been discussing the possibility of trying for a sibling for Sean, but we had no idea that he had already worked out a role for himself in the process.

I was even more amazed about a week later when he called me to remind me that he wanted a brother or sister, then went on to explain how it was done.

'The guy puts the baby in Mummy's belly and the doctor takes it out,' he said. 'Then we can take him home.'

How someone so young came up with such a good grasp of a mystery I didn't figure out until I was around 14 years old, I have no idea.

Another delight of fatherhood is experiencing a child discovering his imagination; it's much more rewarding than reading a boring Booker Prize novel.

The other day when Sean had not quite finished his drink I asked him: 'Sean, are you going to finish your Ribena?'

He looked at me and, with a cheeky smile, said: 'No, Daddy. This is wine. I'm drinking red wine.'

On Monday, he carried a box game upstairs and pointed to what had been his bedroom. 'This is Dr Seuss' City, Daddy. We play games inside. Come inside and play Dr Seuss' game with me.'

While most of what Sean says brings wide smiles to the faces of my wife and I, other things turn us into mush.

On one occasion when we were late for something and my wife was still in the bedroom and I was threatening to leave by myself, Sean, from the top of the stairs, said: 'Your heart wants to wait for Mummy, Daddy.'

No poet could have put it better.

Just what we had been missing during the long years we were not parents suddenly became movingly apparent to us.

There's something else that Sean has been saying now several times a day for more than a year that never fails to make my day.

As I work nights, it is especially touching on the rare occasions I am around to tuck him in at bed-time.

He looks up into my eyes and says with total conviction: 'Good night, Daddy. I love you.'
