Are we like that......

So sorry I was away for quite sometime. Many of my readers would have been wondering what happened to me. Well! I'm still as naughty and playful with the same youthful heart.

To begin with, I had posted a beautiful picture for all to see and admire. I had shared this cartoon with many of my friends using the WhatsApp application on my hand phone. My question to them was... "Are we like that?" Wow! Everyone was amazed with the cartoon, and they gave me many different comments and replies. In a broader scope, perhaps this blog could create more attention, when readers could also view to appreciate what they can see in this loving picture. Please feel free to write your thoughts and be brave to tell the truth. Okay?

7 shocking things that shorten your life span........................

No1. sense of humor

You know how people always say "laughter is the best medicine?" Turns out they're telling the truth. A study carried out by Sven Svebak at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which covered 54,000  subjects, found that people with a high capacity for humor were 35 per cent more likely to be live longer than people who ranked at the bottom of the humor scale. If you are planning to go through life keeping laughter to a minimum, you'll be missing out on health benefits such as stress reduction, immune system improvement, and increased blood flow, which could reduce your life expectancy when compared to your chuckling peers.

2. Flying
It's been proven that taking regular holidays is a stress busting health booster, but it seems the way we travel to those holidays isn't quite as healthy. In fact, flying can be downright bad for you. It's already been proven by the Association of Flight Attendants that people who have careers in the aviation industry are more at risk of dying from cancer, and now it's become apparent why. According to physicist Robert Parish, when you reach the average cruising altitude of 39,000  feet in a plane you are subject to 64 times more radiation than at sea level due to cosmic rays, which over time can seriously affect your well being.

3. Nasty co-workers
You know that person who you can't stand at work? As if things weren't bad enough already, they're actually shortening your lifespan.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University found that a person's colleagues have a significant bearing on their wellbeing, with friendly and supportive co-workers leading to lowered stress levels and a reduction in blood pressure and cholesterol.
People at work who cause arguments and don't share the workload equally have the opposite effect, causing stress and subsequently a higher risk of dying amongst their colleagues. These negative effects were most obvious in subjects between the ages of 38 and 43, so if you fall into that bracket it might be time to bury the hatchet with your work enemies.

4. Retiring
Retiring is often the light at the end of the tunnel for stressed workers, especially for those who have saved all of their life so that they can do it earlier. Sadly, that lifetime of financial sacrifice is leading to a shorter lifespan according to research carried out by Shell Health Services. The study discovered that people who retire at 55 on average died younger than those who waited until they were 65.
John Rother, chief lobbyist of the American Association of Retired Persons, explained it rather bluntly by saying "you use it or you lose it" - by retiring early, your body misses out on its daily dose of activity and you gradually become more unhealthy.

5. Not drinking alcohol
We're always told to cut back on how much alcohol we drink, and rightly so - excessive alcohol consumption can severely damage your health. However, go to the opposite end of the drinking spectrum and you could be in even more trouble than heavy drinkers. A study at the University of  Texas found that non-drinkers have a lower life expectancy than people who drink a moderate amount, and in some cases even lower than heavy drinkers. This is partly due to missing out on the health benefits associated with alcohol. Alcohol (in sensible amounts) helps to protect against heart disease, and decreases the likelihood of Alzheimer's and dementia through improved neuron function in the brain.

6. Sleeping too much
Getting enough sleep is important when it comes to good health, so surely the more shut-eye you get  the better,  right? Wrong. Consistently going too far over the recommended eight hours can negatively affect your health according to a study conducted by RealAge.com. The findings showed that participants who slept for more than nine and a half hours a night suffered from a staggering 60 per cent increase in heart disease, and a higher mortality rate when compared to people who stick to the recommended amount. As well as heart disease, over-sleeping has also been linked with a whole host of health issues, including obesity, diabetes, headaches and depression.

7. Not having sex
Sex is good for you. Is anyone still here? For those of you who haven't frantically run off to tell a significant  other the  good news, we'll explain why. The British Medical Journal conducted a sex survey and found that men who didn't have sex at least once a month experienced twice the mortality rate of those who were getting lucky once a week. It's not hard to see why this is the case - having sex burns kilojoules, lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and much, much more. A study at Duke University also backed this up, finding that women who had enjoyable sex lives lived eight years longer than those who didn't. 

The above info was given to me by my eldest son. I fully agreed to all those facts and I like the number 7 pointer. Thank you Alvin.

How compatible are you with your partner...........???

I read a recent news from the paper recently. A survey was done in China with many millions of single man and woman not getting marry. They group them into four levels of intelligence as A, B, C and D. The A male courts for the B female, B male for the C, and the C male for the D female. The problems come when A woman has no proper eligible male candidate. And when a D man might find difficulty to look for another lower rank of woman. 

Having a chance to view the above cartoon, I fully agree with those facts laid. 

If you are one couple who isn't happy with each other at the moment, then it is high time both of you who should access your level of intelligence. Are you the males who are lower ranking than your partners or are you the females who are highly more successful than your man??  Problems right!!!

Do u know why sweet & cute girls turn angry and bitter wives?

My eldest son sent me this joke last nite....

Girls & Wives...

Once a Man asked God:

"Why are all Girls so cute and sweet?

And all Wives are always Angry and Bitter?"

God answered: "Girls are made by Me.... and you make them Wives!!!"

I replied his message... "What about Boys and Husbands?"

Son replied... Got to check with God

Much later these were what I told him....

Just called God. HE said......

As created by ME. All Boys are Naughty and Playful. But the minute they made those girls as wives, they lost all their playfulness and naughtiness. Just like this once naughty boy who is reading my playful message now.

He laughed... "Hahaa!!"

What say you gentlemen out there?

Physiological word............................................

I found this poster hanging on the wall while dinning in a cosy restaurant. It amazed me when I applied what was mentioned on top. Don't believe me, try it yourself please. Would appreciate, if you could let me know the outcome too. 

When Couples go to bed.............

So sad to see this cartoon but is true. I sincerely hope our local authorities could do something to improve the situation. 

What keeps the doctor away for men???

The old days of saying... "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away" might be not so effective as what you see on top. What say you gentleman?

Good Manners..............

Gentlemen out there.... Are we really from Mars?

Don't take things for granted.........

Is getting marry the passport to permanent happiness? 

This was the question many young couples asked me. The best answer is the simple chart posted above. If any readers disagree, please tell us.

AN EAGLE KISS....................................................

Freedom and Jeff

 Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer. 

 She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings.

 Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,

 it was broken in 4 places.

 She's my baby.

   When Freedom came in she could not stand 

 and both wings were broken. She was 

 emaciated and covered in lice. We made the 

 decision to give her a chance at life, so I took 

 her to the vet's office. From then 

 on, I was always around her. We had her in a 

 huge dog carrier with the top off, and it 

 was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to 

 lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, 

 urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay 

 there looking at me with those big brown eyes. 

 We also had to tube feed her for weeks.

 This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still 

 couldn't stand. It got to the point where the 

 decision was made to euthanize her 

 if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't 

 want to cross that line between torture and 

 rehab, and it looked like death was 

 winning. She was going to be put 

 down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in 

 on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go 

 to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't 

 bear the thought of her being euthanized; 

 but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone 

 was grinning from ear to ear. I went 

 immediately back to her cage; and there she was, 

 standing on her own, a big beautiful 

 eagle. She was ready to live. I was 

 just about in tears by then. That 

 was a very good day. 

 We knew she could never fly, so the director 

 asked me to glove train her.

 I got her used to the glove,

 and then to jesses, and we started

 doing education programs for schools

 in western Washington . 

 We wound up in the newspapers, 

 radio (believe it or not) and some 

 TV. Miracle Pets even did a show 

 about us.

 In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with 

 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had stage 3, 

 which is not good (one major organ plus 

 everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of 

 chemo. Lost the hair - the whole 

 bit. I missed a lot of work. When I 

 felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey 

 and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would 

 also come to me in my dreams and help me fight 

 the cancer. This happened time and time again.

 Fast forward to November 2000

 the day after Thanksgiving,

 I went in for my last checkup. 

 I was told that if the cancer was not 

 all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last 

 option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they 

 did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for 

 the results. I went in Monday, and I was 

 told that all the cancer was gone.

So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and 

 take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty

 and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her 

 up, and we went out front to the top of the 

 hill. I hadn't said a word to 

 Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me 

 and wrapped both

 her wings around me to where I 

 could feel them pressing in on my back 

 (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she 

 touched my nose with her beak and stared into my 

 eyes, and we just stood there like that 

 for I don't know how long . That was a 

 magic moment. We have been soul mates ever 

 since she came in. This is a very special bird.

 On a side note: I have had people who 

 were sick come up to us when we are out, and 

 Freedom has some kind of hold on 

 them. I once had a guy who was 

 terminal come up to us and

 I let him hold her.

 His knees just about buckled and he 

 swore he could feel her power course through his 

 body. I have so many stories like that..

 I never forget the honor I have of being so close 

 to such a magnificent spirit as 

 Freedom.

Learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.....

This posting and proverb are specially for those ladies who are not in good terms with their loved one.

I'm old, short, not handsome, hot temper at time, prideful, arrogance, and yet my little darling loves me madly because she knows how to see my imperfection perfectly. 

One of my lady client was celebrating her birthday alone yesterday, because she had a quarrel with her home sweetheart. Upon receiving this cartoon from me, all her anger disappeared with her husband.

I sell love....................................

It had been quite sometime that I wrote on my blog, and many of my keen readers were concerned about my well being. Tell you my friends, I'm always on top of the world. Just that lately I am extremely busy, never had I been so fully occupied in my entire life. They said when you grow older, you would be less busy and more time for yourself. Not me! I think I'm still growing up, rather than growing old. Growing up is by choice, while growing old is mandatory.

Believe me, this happened recently to me. In one of my dream world's night, I received a call from A Boss of The Universal G.O.D. Corporation. Out of the million candidates, HE had chosen me to be a recognised Rep for his corporation. The qualified candidate has to have experienced the "Good & Bad" of our earthly lives. A simple person, not rich, not poor either but have all the fun and humour in him. His heart has to be pure and sincere, and the mind must be willing to give unconditionally. It took HIM sixty five years to endorse my qualification.

On the phone, The Boss who spoke so sweet and blissful, melted my heart when HE gracefully announced my appointment with The Universal G.O.D Corporation. As a Rep I am allowed to sell one of their unique product. There is no basic or any financial return of any kind while selling this product but I know the benefits will be tremendous. The product is L.O.V.E. and I have to sell it without discrimination and prejudice, no colour bar, race or faith.

Lately as A Rep for the corporation, I had been moving around acting as counsellor, preacher of love, fun maker, horoscope and palm reader, graphologist, motivator and guest speaker, fund raiser, fate healer, match maker, job seeker for others, entertainer and actor. Most important of all as a father or brother to whoever I met, when I could sell my miracle product, L.O.V.E. to them.

How I wish one day is 48 hours and not 24.

BTW.... If you need my product, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm just one call or email away. Forgotten to tell you guys, my product is free.

Be Generous.......................................

A thought worth sharing.......

A rich man once asked his priest, "Why does everybody call me stingy when everyone knows that when I die I will leave everything I have to this temple?"

The priest said: "There once was a pig and a cow. The pig was unpopular and the cow was loved by all in the village. This puzzled the pig.

The pig said to the cow: ‘People speak warmly of your good nature and your helpful attitude. They think you are very generous because each day you give them milk, butter and cheese. But how about me? I give them everything I have. I give them the famous sausages, bacon and ham i.e. my entire body. Yet no one likes me. Why is that?’

The priest continued: "Do you know what the cow answered?

The cow said, 'Perhaps it is because I give while I am still living.' 

Sometimes the greatness of a man can be measured not so much by what he does, as by what he doesn't do.

The Cockroach Theory For Self-Developmen​t.....

Is worth sharing, read on please.....

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic  stricken face  and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.

Her reaction was contagious, as everyone  in her group also got panicky.  The lady  finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it  landed on  another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. 

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of  throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behaviour of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behaviour? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it  near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the  disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife  that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the  disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that  creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life.

I should always respond.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are  always instinctive whereas responses are always well  thought of, and likely to be just right to save a situation from going  out of hand, to avoid cracks in relationship, to  avoid making decisions in anger, anxiety, stress or in a hurry. 

What's love............

Something worth knowing.....

During the mating season, the female sits on a nesting ring while the males searches the entire beach for the pebbles looking for the smoothest one to present to their chosen female.

Once a pebble has been selected, the male penguins presents the pebble as a token of love to the chosen female and if she takes the pebble and places it on her nest then she has accepted that penguin as her mate.

Love quotes... "Love is not about how much you say, 'I Love You' but how much you prove that its true".

Test how fast is your right brain............

THE  TRICK: FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS: This is  bizarre - after you find the guy - it's so  obvious. Once you  find him - it's embarrassing, and you  think, 'Why didn't I see him immediately?'

Doctors  have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of  your brain is better developed than most people. If  you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute,  the right half of the brain is developed normally.  If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes,  then the right half of your brain is functioning  slowly and you need to eat more protein. If  you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the  advice is to look for more of this type of exercise  to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

And,  yes, the man is really there!!

Are you a good son???

Well! Seemed everyone isn't interested to live right up to 100, I might as well skip the subject for the time being. Yesterday while reading the paper, a piece of news really saddened me. The title was.... "Dying mum parts with last words on son who assaulted her: I will be back to haunt him."

You must read the rest here.... 

KUALA LUMPUR: A mother swore on her deathbed to never forgive her eldest son for killing her.

“She said she would come back to haunt him as a ghost,” said the woman's husband, who declined to be named.

The woman, identified as Liew, 59, died two days after she was beaten up by her 40-year-old son on Friday.

Although Liew and her son lived in the same house in Semenyih, they had a strained relationship.

Her jobless son would always ask for money from her and this often led to quarrels.

However, the argument that ended Liew's life was over something as trivial as air-conditioning.

He came home drunk at midnight and scolded his mother over the air-conditioning.

It is learnt that Liew lost her temper and caned her son who retaliated by pushing his mother to the floor and hitting her.

Liew managed to crawl back into her room and telephoned her daughter to take her to the hospital.

She was initially admitted to the Kajang Hospital, but her injuries were so severe that she was later transferred to Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

She fell into a coma and died on Sunday.

Her son has since gone into hiding.

Kajang Deputy OCPD Supt Azman Ayob said the post-mortem showed that Liew died from blunt force trauma.

“The case is being investigated as murder and we are looking for the son,” he said.

Oh my God! Is happening right at my City. How could the son killed his own mother? 

Please look at these two pictures. As they said, a picture is better than a thousand words. I wonder how many young man of today would still walk with his father to play games or how caring would be the grown up sons of today who are prepared to wash their ageing mother's legs. You tell me please?

Famous proverb - "When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry"  ~William Shakespeare

How to live up to 100 years old... continue

Sorry everyone, especially Teamama for being so patience in waiting for my unfinished story. Usually every Friday, I would disappear with my little darling to distress ourselves. Is also one way to live longer, especially if one has exceeded the young age of 60. I'm already 66 and surely I cannot be working everyday without some fun towards the weekend. Now I'm back and ready to speak my mind. 

The last sentence I wrote was... I began to feel a little uneasy because 'The April 2013' was really bothering me. That was the last month the astrologer wrote on my exercise book, which I'm still keeping till today. I could still remember he said that there are nothing more to read after that. So! Imagine when I was at 50, looking at The Year 2013 was really not pleasant. What Teamama said of me as I am a very imagination person is true. I had a choice then to think happy or sad. If I kept thinking of that prediction was going to be true, I might feel sad. Using my creative thought, I told myself that I had to prove the prediction was going to be wrong. In order to work on it, I had to revert my faith and destiny. I could not let what The Astrologer said about my happening and life to come true. I had to change my character and personality. My heart and mind also had to be adjusted to feel differently.

When I was in the twenties and thirties, it was easy to learn from the many successful friends ahead of my age. I used to have many mentors who were in their forties and fifties who were teaching and guiding me to do well in life. But when I reached fifty, those who were in the sixties and above, were almost half dead or lifeless. They could be successful in their business and career, but by the time they touched 60, most of them lost their drive and energy in life. One of the main reason was ageing. They could be strong minded but with the many past years of neglecting their health and abusing it, many who had reached 60 became unhealthy and unproductive any more. I went around the coffee shops in the evening, I saw those bunch of old folks sipping tea and coffee, when they could only talk grand mother stories, while they were waiting for the dying day to come. Looking at them, I knew I would not get any tips and advices to live beyond 65 happily. At the gym in my club, I could hardly see any 60 and above members who were friendly and in tip top physical condition. Only a few would just ride on the bicycle leisurely for excising. Looking at all these senior veterans when I was 50 then, I told and reminded myself I would not be like them when I reached their age later. So! I had to learn and develop my way differently. 

The first thing I realised when one is getting older, he or she tends to become more serious in character. The older they are the worst they become. The seriousness make them more prideful, less friendly, unapproachable and easily get angry. If you are one reader who are still young, you might not realise it yet. Or perhaps you might agree with me, is not easy to reach up to those old uncles or aunties that you have. They seldom come to you and you are also afraid to talk nonsense with them. Right? And to those readers now, who are like my age might agree with me that you might be too prideful to approach the younger generation too. Even you might have the opportunity to speak with younger people, you might speak with authority and seriousness with them. 

The above is one typical observation I could analyse in the ageing process of most people. I told myself I would avoid it at all costs. From a soft spoken man I was, I began to open up more freely. The constant collection of quotes and proverbs, allowed me to speak with confidence.I added humour and naughtiness in all my sharing, especially interacting with those who were younger than me. I didn't wait for the younger people to speak first, but rather I was the first to touch their mind and later bonded them through their heart. The mixing with those who were younger than me, made me feel young as well. I didn't realise my charisma had also attracted many dears and darlings along the way. Yes! The young men gave me the youthfulness that inspired me, while those beautiful ladies made my heart so young too. With these energies and forces surrounding me, I gradually could feel enlighten with a light heart and my mind was constantly feeling happy and wonderful. This proverb is so true; "A Happy Heart Sees A Beautiful World."

Well! I have not finished yet. May you guys allow me to continue again later? Is getting late and tomorrow is another great day ahead. Remember, blogging is a two ways affair. I can express my mind but is also good if  you can share your thought with me too. Okay? 

How to live up to 100 years old... to be continued.

Is good to see my readers are still there for me. They gave me the inspiration, and without them for me to write continuously wound not be easy at all.

I was thinking Teamama was a grand mother, until when she took the trouble to email her concern for me. She scanned over her specimen signature with a few words written, and that was when I realised she is actually a young working mother with a positive driven personality, very responsible and a focused lady as well. Her hand writing reveals. Am I right Shaw?

Wan, a reader all the way from the East Coast will not fail to read my blog. He is a very supportive friend who loves his family very much. Thank you Wan.

An anonymous who just sounded with YyyyyyeeeaaahhHhhhhh on the comment column must be one of my darlings. Tell me who you are lah?

Mdkhan is one of my young client who really surprised me. I didn't know he is reading my blog too. Thank you for coming over young man.

Another great fun guy I just recently encountered is Bandit. He is one year my junior, all the way from The United States. I believe he is a God sent friend who always dare to tell what and how he sees in me. Though we haven't met before, I believe he must be more handsomer and more naughtier than me. We are both a rascal. Right Bandit? 

Tomorrow is Wesak day, a public holiday in Malaysia. I'm preparing to leave for a short break this weekend with little darling, Looking at my time now... Oh My God! It's already 12 in the nite. I still have not continued to write my unfinished story. Trust me! I will write when I return again. All from the heart because you guys really touched my soul. Good night!

How to live up to 100 years old?

Little darling asked, "What's your dream sweetheart?"

My dream now is to live up to 100 years old. That statement stunned little darling, who couldn't believe my words. I told her... many people would be just like her who won't believe that one can live up to 85 or 100. Most people think that it's almost impossible to live that long. How many centenarians are on this planet?

Let me tell you this true story. When I was a young man at 30, I was always very curious on palm reading and horoscope. There was a very famous astrologer in town who stationed himself in a 5 Stars Hotel. The paper was talking so much about him, and I felt that I should see him. I had to make a call through his secretary, who fixed an appointment when I had to wait for six months before I could see this great astrologer. Prior to the day, I had to provide all my personal details to her. I requested a whole life reading which costed me a few hundred bucks. On that day the intense reading took him 6 hours for him to read my so called 'faith of life', from birth to death. All the details were recorded and written on an exercise book. He indicated to me that after my reaching of 60 years old, I would be sickly and weak and my final destination of life on death is April 2013. At that time, when I was only 30 years old, the year 2013 was too far for me to look at. I thought 2013 when I would be 65 then, is good enough for me because I still have got 35 years ahead. Time flow rapidly! By the time I was 50, I realised 60 would not be too far away now. I began to feel a little uneasy because the April 2013 was really bothering me. 

I hope the story won't be boring to whoever are reading now. Shall I continue? If yes! Please let me know and I will relate how I overcome this prediction when I had to prove him wrong. Thanks God! Today is 23 May 2013 already.

To be successful, look for this woman......

No man can succeed alone and no woman can be happy herself. We need each other. Just like this famous proverb says... "For every successful man, there is always a woman." And I have to add on, "For every contented woman, there ought to have a successful man behind."

I always encouraged all ladies and their men to assist each other. So who is the rightful woman who could help her man to be successful. Is simple yet is so difficult.

The woman who could support her man to excel in life, is one who could inspire him with love and afffection. The inspiration comes with constant motivation and encouragement for her man. By himself, he might easily give up his desire and dreams. By himself, frustration could lead him to failure. By himself, he could not see the inner thought. By himself, most obstacles and problems could be difficult to solve. The beauty of the woman he loves is different. Cause the charm and tenderness of love from this special woman could brighten an upset mind, and the sweet and inspiring words could motivate his desire to move again. No other person is willing to offer this assistance constantly, except the woman who truly loves him without condition. Yes! As I said earlier, is simple yet so difficult because where to get this special woman! And that's the reason most men find it difficult to attain success in their lives. 

For the gentlemen. In case if you have the woman now, be fair to her. Love her madly and be sincere with your love. Never take her for granted and treasure her like a diamond. Cause at the end, she would lead you to achieve success and happiness. 

BUT remember... "Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman too."

Make a decision promptly....

This simple proverb helped two of my friends last week.... "Is not wrong to make a wrong decision but it's very wrong not to make any decision."

A business friend was having sleepless nights because his business was failing. He had spent a lot of money and effort on it. His pride refused to let him to discontinue or close the operation. He thought by some connections, he might make it again. However he could not make a decision, until when he had a chance to meet up with me. I advised him with the above statement. A 'yes' or a 'no' is a decision but by not making a decision is definitely wrong. Not making a decision would depress the mind. 

Next day, this friend called me on the phone. He said he could sleep very well last night because he had finally made a decision to close his entire business. He need not have to think about it any more.

Another younger friend was facing another problem. He was living in anxiety because he darn not approach a girl he likes. He has known this girl for a couple of weeks through another good friend. He knows her phone number and yet was afraid to call her. He wanted to invite her for an outing, but was shy and afraid to date her. In silence he kept thinking over her. With encouragement I offered my simple proverb to this timid man. If you don't make a decision to call her, you won't know whether she likes you too. 

A week later, when I saw him again, I could see his face was smiling. Reason... He had finally decided to call the girl who didn't hesitate to accept his date willingly. 

So, the next time if you ever face any problems, please remember this quote.. "Is not wrong to make a wrong decision but it's very wrong not to make any decision."     

Why Condoms are Packed 3, 6, 12 to a Box.......

Sunday laugh....

A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son. They

happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks,

"What are these, Dad?"

To which the man matter-of-factly replies,

"Those are called condoms, son.... Men use them to have safe sex."

"Oh, I see," replied the boy pensively. "Yes, I've heard of  that in health class at school."

He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks,

"Why are there 3 in this package?"

The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys. One for Friday,

one for Saturday, and one for Sunday."

"Cool!" says the boy.He notices a 6 pack and asks,

"Then who are these for?"

"Those are for college men." the dad answers.

"Two for Friday, two for Saturday, and two for Sunday."

"WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks,

picking up a 12 pack.

With a sigh, the dad replied

"Those are for married men. One for January, one for February, one for 

March......."

The boy shot back, "Then I am not going to get married!!!!"

                            

The New Hat..................

I LOVE THIS WOMAN

An elderly lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship
holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.

A gentleman approached her and said,
"Pardon me, madam..

I do not intend to be forward but did you know that your dress
is blowing up in this high wind?"

 

"Yes, I know," said the lady.

"I need both my hands
to hold onto this hat."

 

"But madam, you must know that you are not wearing any panties
and your privates are exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest.

 

The woman looked down, then back up at the man
and replied, "Sir, anything you see down there is 75 years old.

I just bought this hat yesterday!"

You can laugh ah?

My question to you now... is

What happened if the woman isn't 75 but a sweet 21 years young lady?

 Like this one?

You guess she holds the top or the bottom??

Please don't be afraid to tell your thought!

Amazing how your values change as you age!

Simplicity of life...........

Sharing wisdom with an old friend, Chakra, we talked about Simplicity of Life.

When one is poor, to live simple and humble is easy because you have no choice. With low income and no saving, you have to live within your means. Not when one is rich and successful! Imagine when you are loaded with the thousands or the millions of cash in hand, and yet be satisfied with the old car you have be driving for years. All your rich friends are staying in the luxurious and expensive homes but you are contented with the old house which you own before you got rich. Definitely not easy! Because being rich and successful, the pride and self esteem will naturally tempt you to spend more. But if you could still live simple and humble, when you are wealthy, then you are truly classified as the most elite class of all.
