Succesful Sons....

Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who remained talked about their kids.

The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday."

The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, and then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company,where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday."

The third man said: "Well, that's terrific! My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion." T

he three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the restroom and asked: "What are all the congratulations for?" One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. ...What about your son?"

The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub."

The three friends said: "What a shame...what a disappointment."

The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him. And he hasn't done too badly either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends."

A Short Story !

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.”
They say it takes a MINUTE to find a special person, an HOUR to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it also to the person who sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them. If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends. Take the time to live!!!

A Beautiful story.

This is a beautiful story of someone u would admire!You won't believe who the person is.Here is a true story by Paul Harvey.Pass it to anyone who you think would find it interesting and inspiring.

You will be surprised who this young man turned out to be. (Do not look at the bottom of this letter until you have read it fully.)

Years ago a hardworking man took his family from New York State to Australia to take advantage of a work opportunity there. Part of this man's family was a handsome young son who had aspirations of joining the circus as a trapeze artist or an actor. This young fellow, biding his time until a circus job or even one as a stagehand came along, worked at the local shipyards which bordered on the worse section of town.

Walking home from work one evening this young man was attacked by five thugs who wanted to rob him. Instead of just giving up his money the young fellow resisted.However they bested him easily and proceeded to beat him to a pulp.They mashed his face with their boots, and kicked and beat his body brutally with clubs, leaving him for dead. When the police happened to find him lying in the road they assumed he was dead and called for the Morgue Wagon.

On the way to the morgue a policeman heard him gasp for air, and they immediately took him to the emergency unit at the hospital.When he was placed on a gurney a nurse remarked to her horror,that his young man no longer had a face. Each eye socket was smashed, his skull,legs, and arms fractured, his nose literally hanging from his face, all is teeth were gone, and his jaw was almost completely torn from his skull.

Although his life was spared he spent over a year in the hospital.When he finally left, his body may have healed, but his face was disgusting to look at. He was no longer the handsome youth that everyone admired.

When the young man started to look for work again he was turned down by everyone just on account of the way he looked. One potential employer suggested to him that he join the freak show at the circus as "The Man Who Had No Face"..... and he did this for a while. He was still rejected by everyone and no one wanted to be seen in his company. He had
thoughts of suicide.

This went on for five years.One day he passed a church and sought some solace there. Entering the church he encountered a priest who had saw him sobbing while kneeling in a
pew. The priest took pity on him and took him to the rectory where they talked at length. The priest was impressed with him to such a degree that he said that he would do everything possible for him that could be done to restore his dignity and life, if the young man would promise to be the best Catholic he could be, and trust in God's mercy to free him from his torturous life.

The young man went to Mass and communion every day, and after thanking God for saving his life, asked God to only give him peace of mind and the grace to be the best man he could ever be in His eyes. The priest, through his personal contacts was able to secure the services of the best plastic surgeon in Australia. There would be no cost to the young man, as the doctor was the priest's best friend. The doctor too was so impressed by the young man, whose outlook now on life, even though he had experienced the worst, was filled with good humor and love.

The surgery was a miraculous success. All the best dental work was also done for him. The young man became everything he promised God he would be.
He was also blessed with a wonderful, beautiful wife, and many children, and success in an industry which would have been the furthest thing from his mind as a career if not for the goodness of God and the love of the people who cared for him. This he acknowledges publicly.

This man is none other than the oscar winning actor Mel Gibson who has been the hero in The Patriot,Lethal Weapon,Brave Heart,Maverick,Signs and many more great movies.

Nobody is perfect-ART OF LIVING

COURTESY:
ART OF LIVING, DUBAI NEWS LETTER

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."

The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your list." The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it.

"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said happily. Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

IN LIFE, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them.We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying things when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?

I believe that WE ARE HAPPIEST WHEN we see and praise the good and try our best to forego the mistakes of our loved ones. Nobody is perfect but we can find perfection in them to change the way we see them. It is necessary to understand the difficulties and be a helping hand to each other... THAT BRIGHTENS THE RELATIONSHIP.

Always Keep Smiling

Where is the Problem?

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to
and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a
better idea about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?"

No response.

So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again he gets no response so;

He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

"James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!"

Moral of the story:

The problem may not be with the other one as we always
think, could be very much within us..! SO don't always blame others for the
thing that you may lack.

Semi-Automatic Love

Completely unaware
I never knew
that you would care.

I never knew
you'd be the one
to lift my life
and make it fun.

---------------------------------

Your love is like a neutron bomb
A total killer that's a fact
Your kisses blew my brains away
But left my lips intact.

Your smile is like a laser gun
As bright as light can be
I'm as cold as a dull dead sun
Until you shine on me.

Your mind is like a hand grenade
Throwing shrapnel all around
Your laughter like a fusillade
Shot me to the ground

Your heart is like an armoured car
Protected from all danger
A sentry calling "Who goes there?"
Don't treat me like a stranger.

Never show that you have

There is one more golden rule of friendship, about which I am going to write in this chapter. The rule deals with putting your feeling in words. Let me explain in detail and in easier terms.

Never let your friend know that you have sacrificed something for her. I cannot put this in simpler words. Yeah! If you want I can elaborate on this topic giving examples.

If you come across a situation where you have an important schedule and still you manage to go out to meet your friend, you should never let your friend know that you have sacrificed your tight schedule for her.

I have given an example of friendly outing in context to the subject of that chapter. I have advised the friend who wants to 'talk over'. In this chapter I want to advice the friend who comes to meet. In that chapter I have also asked the other friend (the one who comes to meet ) that he should be straight-forward and let his friend know of the shortage of time.

Do not misunderstand me when I say, in this chapter, that one should never let her friend know of her sacrifice! If you understand the two things separately and properly, you will realize from your analysis that these two things are different from each other and cannot be linked.

Being straight-forward and telling your friend to finish off is the sign of loyalty towards your friend. Such friendships are never ever burden on any of the friends. There is no formality needed. You give time to your friend and show your understanding; you tell your friend frankly and make her understand you.
As far as sacrifice is concerned, if you come and tell your friend that you have come in spite of your tight schedule indirectly means that you have done him a great favor. That's what your friend will never like.

Your friend is aware of your tight schedule even if he does not thank you for coming. A genuine friend will never thank you. I personally feel that she should not. If you show your sacrifice it means that you want him to thank you, then she will do so and then you will say that there was no need for it. All these statements account to formalities and as I initially said "Formality is like a poison for friendship."

Thus -Never show that you have sacrificed for your friend.

I'm an alcoholic for your love
But then I think you've heard
You've left me pretty shaken
Did I ever leave you stirred?
You said we'd drink each other dry.
Seems you're not thirsty any more.
So you've left me with the empties.
Sipping heartache through a straw

Being Boring.........

"may you live in interesting times" - chinese curse

If you ask me "What's new?" - I have nothing to say
Except that the garden is growing.
I had a slight cold but it's better today.
I'm content with the way things are goin.
Yes, I am the same as I usually am,
Still eating and sleeping and snoringin the noons also.
I get on with my work, he gets on with his.
I know this is all very boring.

There was drama enough in my turbulent past:
Tears and passion - I've used up a tankful.
No news is good news, and long may it last.
If nothing much happens, I'm thankful.
A happier cabbage you never did see,
my vegetable spirits are soaring.
If you're after excitement, steer well clear of me.
I want to go on being boring.

I don't go to parties & bars like my friends.
Well, what are they for,
if you don't need to find a new lover?
You drink and you listen and drink a bit more
And you take the next day to recover.
Someone to stay home with was all my desire
And, now that I've found a safe mooring,
I've just one ambition in life, I aspire
To go on and on being boring.

Dont come back

Love comes and goes
and often is has paused,
then comes back to see
the damage it has caused.

Please

dont come back.

Everything is destroyed.

Lover of Friend?

Whether I came
As lover or friend
I lacked the certainty
of a relationship.

I know we kissed
and we held hands
but lover and friends
make both demands.

We shared some wine
We shared some bread
and later on
we shared your bed.

But we shared no knowledge.
of who we were
In the social terms of
"Are he and her?"

We shared the darkness
The sounds from the street
And sometime in the night
A hand crossed the sheet.

"Halt who goes there?
Lover or friend?"
In the darkness I recognise you
As one and the same.

It happens.. getting on... getting off... getting down... mmmm...

For DH one of many - Alice Fish
Completely unaware
I never knew
that you would care.

I never knew
you'd be the one
to lift my life
and make it fun.

THREE THINGS IN LIFE

"Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the little things are the big things.
It is at no time taking the other for granted.
It is a relationship in which the independence is equal,
dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner;
it is being the right partner. "
