PAY MORE ATTENTION!
Nov 11, 2009 | 2:11AM
First-year
students at Texas A & M's Vet school were
attending their first Anatomy
class, with a dead pig.
They all
gathered around the surgery table with the body
covered with a White sheet.
The professor started the class by
telling them, 'In Veterinary Medicine it
is necessary to have
two important qualities as a Doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything
involving the
Animal body'. For an example, the Professor
pulled back the sheet, touched
his finger in the mouth of the
dead pig, withdrew it and put his Finger in
his mouth. 'Go
ahead and do the same thing,' he told his students.
The
students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes. But
eventually took
turns putting their finger in the mouth of the
dead pig and tasted in their
mouth.
When
everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said,
'The Second most
important quality is observation. I touched the pig
with my middle Finger and tasted my index finger. Now learn to pay attention...
Moral of the story:
Life is tough, but it's a lot tougher when you are
Stupid....

DID YOU EVER WET YOUR PANTS???
Nov 11, 2009 | 2:06AM
There is a nine-year-old kid
sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and
the front of his pants are wet.
He thinks his heart is going to
stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never
happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the
end of it..
When the girls find out, they'll
never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to
stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, "Dear God, this is an
emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead
meat."
He looks up from his prayer and here
comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been
discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him, a
classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water.
Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in
the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry, but
all the while is saying to himself,
"Thank you, Lord! Thank you,
Lord!"
Now all of a sudden, instead of being
the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes
him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry
out.
All the other children are on their
hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as
life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred
to someone else - Susie.
She tries to help, but they tell her
to get out. "You've done enough, you klutz! "
Finally, at the end of the day, as
they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did
that on purpose, didn't you?"
Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants
once too."
May God help us see the opportunities
that are always around us to do good.
Each and everyone one of us are going
through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way
that only He can.

what is ur decision????????
Oct 04, 2007 | 11:13PM
The story given below is quite interesting and really gives us an insightinto DECISION MAKING.
Which one will you choose?
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we couldmake................ No cheating...Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrificeonly one child.
You might think the same way, I guess. Because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child isthe rational decision most people would make normally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disusedtrack had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.
This kind of dilemma happens around useveryday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in ademocratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest ofthe majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and howfarsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.
I would not try to change the course of the train because i believe that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still inuse,and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.If thetrain was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengerson board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to bemade, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the rightone. "Remember that what's right isn't always popular...and what's popular isn't always right."

You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
Sep 21, 2007 | 10:01AM
This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could
read it everyday.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to
be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't
like you.
5. Every night,
SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from
it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another
look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude
remarks.

A few Calculations for life!!!!!!
Sep 10, 2007 | 1:09AM
IF :
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Equals
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Then,
H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K= 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% only
K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% only
L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11= 47% (don't most of us think this is most important??)
Then what makes 100%
Is it Money? ...........
Leadership? ...........
Health?.......... NO !!!
Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our attitude.
To get to the top, to that 100% what we really need to go further... a bit more....
A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100 %
So there we discovered it:
It is OUR Attitude towards Life and Work that makes OUR Life 100%

Life is not about WORK
Sep 06, 2007 | 1:36AM
A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence.
So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Watch your thoughts ; they become words.
Watch your words ; they become actions.
Watch your actions ; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny .

FAQ on diets and exercises!!!!!
Aug 27, 2007 | 10:51AM
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a lamb eat? Leaves and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a kabab is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Its only the misconception, that narrow minded people have. So, Bottoms up!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.How
could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO ...... Cocoabeans ... another vegetable ! It's the
best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had About
food and diets..........
Have a healthy day ahead....

There's no substitute for her. Cherished every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!!! She will be there for you...to listen to your woes, your bragging, your
frustrations, etc. Ask yourself. have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her "blues" of working in the kitchen, her tiredness??? Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from her.
Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left

Dying for ur country!!!!!!
Aug 23, 2007 | 10:14AM
Lt. Saurabh Kalia of 4 JAT Regiment of the Indian Army laid down his life at the young age of 22 for the nation while guarding the frontiers at Kargil. His parents, indeed the Indian Army and nation itself, lost a dedicated, honest and brave son.
He was the first officer to detect and inform about Pakistani intrusion. Pakistan captured him and his patrol party of 5 brave men alive on May 15, 1999 from the Indian side of LOC. They were kept in captivity for three weeks and subjected to unprecedented brutal torture, evident from their bodies handed over by Pakistan Army on June 9, 1999.
The Pakistanis indulged in dastardly acts of inflicting burns on these Indian officers with cigarettes, piercing their ears with hot rods, removing their eyes before puncturing them and breaking most of the bones and teeth. They even chopped off various limbs and private organs of the Indian soldiers besides inflicting unimaginable physical and mental torture.
After 22 days of torture, the brave soldiers were ultimately shot dead. A detailed post-mortem report is with the Indian Army. Pakistan dared to humiliate India this way flouting all international norms. They proved the extent to which they can degrade humanity. However, the Indian soldiers did not break while undergoing all this unimaginable barbarism, which speaks volumes of their patriotism, grit, determination, tenacity and valour - something all of India should be proud of. Sacrificing oneself for the nation is an honour every soldier would be proud of, but no parent, army or nation can accept what happened to these brave sons of India.

GOD Exists
Jun 07, 2007 | 10:24PM
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they
eventually touched on the subject of God,
The barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed
beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what?
Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed." Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! "Answered the barber."
What happens, is, people do not come to me.
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, PEOPLE DON'T GO TO HIM AND DO NOT LOOK FOR HIM...
