Life Is A Long Lesson In Humility

Little things that count

2005-12-07T02:20:00.000+08:00

i read this on STAR paper, just want to share with u.......... meaningful!

The teenager who is not doing dishes but watching TV,
because that means he is at home, not on the streets.

The taxes that i pay,
because it means that i am employed.

The mess to clean after a party,
because it means that i have been surrounded by friends.

The clothes that i fit a little too snugly,
because it means i have enough to eat.

My shadow that watches me work,
because it means i am out i the sunshine.

for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning,
and gutters that need fixing,
because it means i have a home.

The parking spot i find at the far end of the parking lot,
because it means i am capable of walking and that i have been
blessed with transportation.

My huge air-conditioning bill,
because it means i am cool even on the hottest day.

The lady behind me singing F key,
because it means that i can hear.

The pile of laundry and ironing,
because it means i have clothes to wear.

Weariness and aching muscle at the end of the day,
because it means i have been capable working hard.

The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours,
because it means that i am alive.

and finally... for too much e-mail,
because it means i have friends who are thinking of me.

This is one of the HIT song in karaoke nowadays, for those who knows how to read in chinese. pls read it, meaningful!!!! hehe!!!!!!

歌手：鄭中基作曲：李峻一
填詞：李峻一編曲：Ted Lo

我間中飲醉酒　很喜歡自由
常犯錯愛說謊　但總會內疚
遇過很多的損友　學到貪新厭舊
亦欠過很多女人

怕結婚只會守　三分鐘諾言
曾話過要戒煙　但講了就算
夢與想丟低很遠　但對返工厭倦
自小不會打算

＊但是仍　(在地球)　唯獨妳愛我這廢人　
出錯妳都肯去忍　
然而誰亦早知不會合襯　偏偏妳願意等　
為何還喜歡我　我這種無賴　
是話妳蠢還是很偉大　
在座每位都將我踩　口碑有多壞　
但妳亦永遠不見怪　

何必跟我　我這種無賴　
活大半生還是很失敗　
但是妳死都不變心　跟我笑著捱　
就算壞　我也不忍心　(偷偷作怪)

＊沒有根的野草　飄忽的命途
誰像妳當我寶　什麼也做到
舊愛數足一匹布　在這刻寫句號
只想跟妳終老

REPEAT

＊還喜歡我　我這種無賴
是話妳蠢還是很偉大
在座每位都將我踩　口碑有多壞
但妳亦永遠不見怪

何必跟我　我這種無賴
活大半生還是很失敗
但是妳死都不變心　跟我拼命捱
換轉別個　也不忍心　偷偷作怪

I never saw a moor

I never saw the sea

Yet I know how the heather looks

And what a wave must be
I never spoke with God

Nor visited in heaven

Yet certain am I of the spot

As if the chart were given

I chose my life and walked away,

Never be bullied into silence.

Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

Accept no one's definition of your life;

DEFINE YOURSELF!

Never Hire A Man To Do A Womans Job

2005-10-13T23:55:00.000+08:00

A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position.

After sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to two men and a woman, but only one position was available.

The day came for the final test to see which person would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."

The man got a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!" Well," said the CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then."

So they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."

The second man looked a bit shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about five minutes, then the door opened. The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her. I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job."

"No," the CIA man replied. "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go the hell home."

Now they're down to the woman left to test. Again they lead her to the same door and hand her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances. This is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him."

The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even closed all the way, the CIA heard the gun start firing, one shot after another, for 13 shots. Then they heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet. The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman.

She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat the S.O.B. to death with the chair!"

Creation of Man

2005-10-13T23:48:00.000+08:00

God created the mule, and told him, " You will be a mule, working constantly from dusk to dawn, carrying heavy loads on your back. You will eat grass and lack intelligence. You will live for 50 years.

" The mule answered, " To live like this for 50 years is too much. Please, give me no more than 20." And it was so.

Then God created the dog, and told him, " You will hold vigilance over the dwellings of Man, to whom you will be his greatest companion. You will eat his table scraps and live for 25 years.

" And the dog responded, " Lord, to live 25 years as a dog like that is too much. Please, no more than 10 years." And it was so.

God then created the monkey, and told him, " You are monkey. You shall swing from tree to tree, acting like an idiot. You will be funny, and you shall live for 20 years.

" And the monkey responded, " Lord, to live 20 years as the clown of the world is too much. Please, Lord, give me no than 10 years." And it was so.

Finally, God created Man and told him, " You are Man, the only rational being that walks the earth. You will use your intelligence to have mastery over the creatures of the world. You will dominate the earth and live for 20 years.

" And the man responded, "Lord, to be Man for only 20 years is too little. Please, Lord, give me the 20 years the mule refused, the the 15 years the dog refused, and the 10 years the monkey rejected." And it was so.

And so God made Man to live 20 years as a man, then marry and live 20 years like a mule working and carrying heavy loads on his back.

Then, he is to have children and live 15 years as a dog, guarding his house and eating the leftovers after they empty the pantry.

Then, in his old age, to live10 years as a monkey, acting like an idiot to amuse his grandchildren.

And it is so.
