Thursday, August 26, 2010 17:58 No Comments

Questions:
1. A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, “twelve.” The member replied, “six ” and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, “six.” The member replied, “three” and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,”ten” and the man replied, “five.” But he was not let in.
What should have he said?

2. Hildegarde was taken to the dungeon and presented with two doors, each protected by a single guard. One door led to freedom and the other door to a hungry lion. Hildegarde was allowed to ask one question of one guard of her choice. The question was limited to a yes/no answer. Hildegarde knew that this was a tricky pair of guards: one would always lie and the other would always tell the truth. The guards knew behind which door lay freedom and which door led to the lions, and knew who was the liar and who was the truth sayer. But how was Hildegarde to know the difference? Hildegarde devised a way and went happily on her way. What was the question?

3. A man was found dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard: “I can’t go on. I have nothing to live for.” Then there was the sound of a gunshot.

12 Step Internet Recovery Program

Thursday, January 21, 2010 22:56 2 Comments

1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Internet.

2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

3) I will get dressed before noon.

4) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Internet.

5) I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Internet-deprived.

6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.

7) I will read a book…if I still remember how.
8) I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Internet.

9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

11) I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Internet.

12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime … And the Internet will always be there tomorrow!

The Sands of Forgiveness

Sunday, December 27, 2009 22:39 1 Comment

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

You Know You Need A New Lawyer When

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 22:29 No Comments

The prosecutor sees your lawyer in the hall, and they high-five each other.

- During your initial consultation he tries to sell you Amway.

- He tells you that his last good case was a “Budweiser.”

- He picks the jury by playing “duck-duck-goose.”

- During the trial you catch him playing his Gameboy.

- Every couple of minutes he yells, “I call Jack Daniels to the stand!” and proceeds to drink a shot.

- He frequently gives juror No. 4 the finger.

- Just before he says “Your Honor,” he makes those little quotation marks in the air with his fingers.

- Whenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, “Whatever.”

- He giggles every time he hears the word “briefs.”

- He keeps citing the legal case of Godzilla v. Mothra.

- He begins closing arguments with, “As Ally McBeal once said…”

Decisions

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 8:32 No Comments

You face them every day. It’s the big ones that are tough.
First and foremost.
When facing a big decision, you have to know what is important to you.
It may sound selfish, But it’s not.
It is essential to making the best possible choices.

Avoid making decisions because someone else is pressuring you.
You may start Out with the best intentions
but you won’t be motivated to carry it out, and may
Often live with regret.

Next time you’re faced with a big decision, take the time
to examining your Own thoughts and beliefs.
Your feelings, ideas and experiences are what you
Must think about before making a big commitment.

Self awareness is the key to how the best decisions are made.

Winners VS Losers

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 23:39 No Comments

The Winner is always part of the answer;
The Loser is always part of the problem.

The Winner always has a program;
The Loser always has an excuse.

The Winner says, “Let me do it for you”;
The Loser says, “That is not my job.”

The Winner sees an answer for every problem;
The Loser sees a problem for every answer.

The Winner says, “It may be difficult but it is possible”;
The Loser says, “It may be possible but it is too difficult.”

When a Winner makes a mistake, he says, “I was wrong”;
When a Loser makes a mistake, he says, “It wasn’t my fault.”

A Winner makes commitments;
A Loser makes promises.
