The Ant and the grasshoper

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.   The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.   Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.   *Indian Version:**   The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.   The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.   Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.   NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.   The World is stunned by the sharp contrast.

Paid in full with one glass of milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"  "You don't owe me anything," she replied  "Mother has taught us never to accept payment for a kindness." He said.... "Then I thank you from my heart."  As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.  Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. H...

How you see things !

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.  Soon the hat began to fill up.. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign cam to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps & asked, "Were u the one who changed my sign this morning? What did u write?"   The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what u said but in a different way."  I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I can not see it."  Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the 1st sign simply said the boy was blind.

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.   My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.   My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.     So I asked,  'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined   Your  car and sent us to the hospital!'    This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call,    'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'   He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around  full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.    As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll  dump it on you . Don't take it personally.   Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move o...

A Beautiful message from George Carlin

A Beautiful message from George Carlin  - How True T his is a master piece.  If you have not read it take the time to read it now.  If you have read it take time to read it again!  GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...)  Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.   A Message by George Carlin:  The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways  ,  but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.  We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up ...
