Its tuff being a guy and others...

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.
If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing guy.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it's exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, it's favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you're a wimp.
If you don't, you're insensitive.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist.
If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.
If she asks you, it's a favor.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain.
If you don't, you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you're after something.
If you don't, you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements, you're an egotist.
If you're not, you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache, she's tired.
If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore.

**************************
A long time ago in China, a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all.  Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.

Days passed and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband great distress.

Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it. Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all.  Mr. Huang thought for a while, and finally said, "Li-Li, I will  help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you." Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do." Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious. Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspect you. When she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen."

Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law. Weeks went by and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother.  After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with. The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter. Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening. One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again. She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law! She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her." Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about.  I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her." HAVE YOU REALIZED that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you? There is a wise Chinese saying: "The person who loves others will also be loved in return." God might be trying to work in another person's life through you.  Send this to your friends and spread the POWER OF LOVE.

*********************************
If you don't read this then you are really missing something....

Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.


1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady. During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."


I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain


One night, at 11:30 P.M. , an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally ! unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a  knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my  clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and  sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.  The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.


5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. 

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,  seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

"Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like you do when nobody's watching."

NOW more than ever -


******************
Not just some shit. really crazy fate. This is cool. just read it. A true incident...(Repeat)


At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic  Science, AAFS President Dr Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with  the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story.

On  March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and  concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr Opus had jumped  from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide.

He  left a note to the effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past the  ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a  window, which killed him instantly.

Neither the shooter nor the deceased  was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor  level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have  been able to complete his suicide the way he  had planned.

"Ordinarily," Dr Mills continued, "A person who sets out  to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide." That Mr  Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to  feel that he had a homicide on his hands.

In the room on the ninth  floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and  his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a  shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely  missed his wife and the bullets went through the window striking Mr Opus.

When one intends to kill subject "A" but kills subject "B" in  the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject "B."

When  confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both adamant  and both said that they thought the shotgun was unloaded.  The old man  said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the  unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the  killing of Mr Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, if the gun  had been accidentally loaded.

The continuing investigation turned up a  witness who saw the old couple's son loading the  shotgun about  six weeks prior to the fatal accident.

It transpired  that the old lady  had cut off her son's  financial support and the son, knowing the  propensity of his father to  use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the  gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. Since  the loader of the gun was  aware of this, he was guilty of the murder  even though he didn't  actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes  one of murder on the  part of the son for the death of Ronald  Opus.

Now comes the exquisite twist.

Further  investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become  increasingly despondent over the failure of his  attempt to engineer his  mother's murder. This led him to jump off the  ten story building on  March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast  passing through the  ninth story window. The son had actually murdered himself, so the medical  examiner closed the case as a suicide.

(A true story from  Associated Press, Reported by Kurt Westervelt)

Interesting case : Any Solution ??

Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a   student who was willing to learn but was unable to pay the fee. The student struck a deal saying, "I would pay your   fee the day I win my first case in the court". Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. when the course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, student reminded the deal and pushed days. Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves.

The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as per the court of law, student has to pay me. And if I lose the case, student will still Pay me because he would have won his first case. So either way i will have to get the money".

Equally brilliant student argued back saying: "If I win the case, as ! per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher. And if I lose the case, I don't have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything".

This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded in history.

****************************
A man from the West, decided to write a book about holy places around the World. He started by flying to various holy places.
 
Going to a very large place in USA, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the wall and was intrigued with a sign which read "$1000 a minute." Seeking out the religious Guru, he asked about the phone. 
 
 The Guru answered that this golden phone was, in fact, a direct line to Heaven and if he paid the price he could talk directly to God.
The man thanked the guru and continued on his way.
 
As he continued to visit the holy places in Egypt, Israel, Iran, USA, Europe, Nepal, Japan, Australia and all around the world, he found more phones, with the same sign and price, and got the same answer from each Guru.
 
Finally, he arrived in Kerala, (India) Upon entering a temple, behold, he saw the usual golden telephone. But this time, the sign read "Calls: Rupee1 per minute."

Fascinated, he asked the Guru. "Guru Ji, I have been in places all across the world, and in each place I have found this golden telephone and have been told it was a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God.  But in the other temples the cost was $1000 a minute. Your sign reads Rupee 1/Minute. Why?

The Guru, smiling, replied, "Son, you're in India now. This is God's own country... and it's a local call." Welcome to India!

A Woman's Secret ..  and her Prayer

There was once a man and woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything.

They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover....

In trying to sort out their affairs,  the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.  She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.

When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $25,000.

He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy  marriage was to never argue.  She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears.

Only two precious dolls were in the box.  She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving.  He almost burst  with happiness......

"Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money?  Where did it come from?" Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling all the dolls..."

Women will love this............... A Prayer.

Dear Lord, I pray for :

Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods;
because Lord,  if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death.
