A Message by George Carlin

 Kenal tak George Carlin?? hehe kite pun tk kenal.. tapi let's us read of these.. It was said long ago.
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 too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom,
and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever,
 but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character,
 steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the

Wanita Cantik yg suka Menangis...

Hari ni nak cerita apa yek??

Hmm.. let's read a story, sent by  associate a few years back; cerita tentang wanita cantik yang suka menangis...

Seorang anak laki-laki kecil bertanya kepada ibunya "Mengapa engkau menangis?"
"Kerana aku seorang wanita", kata sang ibu kepadanya.
"Aku tidak mengerti", kata anak itu.
Ibunya hanya memeluknya dan berkata, "Dan kau tak akan pernah mengerti"
Kemudian anak laki-laki itu bertanya kepada ayahnya, "Mengapa ibu suka menangis tanpa alasan?"
"Semua wanita menangis tanpa alasan", hanya itu yang dapat dikatakan oleh ayahnya.
Anak laki-laki kecil itu pun lalu membesar menjadi seorang lelaki dewasa, tetap ingin tahu mengapa wanita menangis.

"Tuhan, mengapa wanita begitu mudah menangis?"

dan berikut adalah jawapan yang diterima;

"Ketika Allah menciptakan seorang wanita, ia diharuskan untuk menjadi seorang yang istimewa. Dia membuat bahunya cukup kuat untuk menopang dunia; namun, harus cukup lembut untuk memberikan kenyamanan "


"Dia memberikannya kekuatan dari dalam untuk mampu melahirkan anak dan menerima penolakan yang seringkali datang dari anak-anaknya "


"Dia memberinya kekerasan untuk membuatnya tetap tegar ketika orang-orang lain menyerah, dan mengasuh keluarganya dengan penderitaan dan kelelahan tanpa mengeluh "


"Dia memberinya kepekaan untuk mencintai anak-anaknya dalam setiap keadaan, bahkan ketika anaknya bersikap sangat menyakiti hatinya "


"Dia memberinya kekuatan untuk mendukung suaminya dalam kegagalannya dan melengkapi dengan tulang rusuk suaminya untuk melindungi hatinya "


"Dia memberinya kebijaksanaan untuk mengetahui bahwa seorang suami yang baik takkan pernah menyakiti isterinya, tetapi kadang menguji kekuatannya dan ketetapan hatinya untuk berada disisi suaminya tanpa ragu"


"Dan akhirnya, Dia memberinya air mata untuk dititiskan.
Ini adalah khusus miliknya untuk digunakan bilapun ia perlukan."


"Ketahuilah:


Kecantikan seorang wanita bukanlah dari pakaian yang dikenakannya, susuk yang ia tampilkan, atau bagaimana ia menyisir rambutnya."


"Kecantikan seorang wanita harus dilihat dari matanya, kerana itulah pintu hatinya
" tempat dimana cinta itu ada."

Sampaikanlah ini kepada setiap wanita yang Anda kenal hari ini untuk memperingatinya
Anda akan menambah harga diri wanita!

Sampaikan juga ini kepada lelaki,
supaya mereka sedar dan ingat akan
kecantikan wanita mereka yang azali..
bukan pada kecantikan luaran semata-mata


Selami lah hati wanita mu.. kerana
Setiap Wanita itu Cantik. .

Terima kasih kepada Shieda, yang meletakkan e-mail saya dalam senarai yang dihantar.

YOU ARE MY SISTER

This is a story I received a long time ago, it's a good reading for all my sister... :)


A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,
drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother.
As they talked about life, about marriage,
about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood,
 the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear,
sober glance upon her daughter

'Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass.
'They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have,
you are still going to need Sisters.

Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them.
Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women...
your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other
women relatives too. 'You'll need other women.
Women always do.'

'What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought.
'Haven't I just gotten married?
Haven't I just joined the couple-world?
I'm now amarried woman, for goodness sake!
 A grownup! Surely my husband and the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'

But she listened to her Mother.
She kept contact with her Sisters and made more women friends each year.
As the years tumbled by, one after another,
she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew what she was talking about.
As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,

Sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:

THIS SAYS IT ALL:

Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.

BUT.........

Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you.
A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself,
the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,
praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf,
and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...
Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,
daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,
Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family,
all bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without women,
and neither would I.
When we began this adventure called womanhood,
we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead.
Nor did we know how much we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.
Pass this on to all the women who help make your life meaningful.

I just did. Short and very sweet:

There are more than twenty angels in this world.
Ten are peacefully sleeping on clouds.
Nine are playing.
And one is reading this story at this very moment.

Send this message to ten of your friends including me.
No worries if nobody reply,
there are always somebody who will always remember you for sure.
They are just a call away, give them a call or drop a text message with a simple <:)>
Your will get an instant reply.

Have a pleasure day!

Don't break this; They said it's working. :)

Happiness

These cartoon was e-mailed to me in 2008, and I would love to share it with you.

PLAIN & SIMPLE

Since I join this group, I always miss the boat because I was preoccupied with the job task, and I'm not used to having to catch the "T" to go home after work. And that day I remember I received an e-mail long time ago about missing a boat. Let's have pleasure to read about the plain & simple principle...

Plain and simple.
Worth to think about it.

ONE:
Don't miss the boat
.

TWO:
Remember that we are all in the same boat
.


THREE:
Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
FOUR:
Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.


FIVE:
Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX:
Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN:
For safety's sake, travel in pairs.



NINE:
When you're stressed, float a while.
EIGHT:
Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

TEN:
Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals
.

ELEVEN:
No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting

Have a pleasure day! :)

Secret of Nation

Today, let us read about the Secret of Nation. I received this email the 2nd day I joined the Taj Group. It's a good reading ...

To Reflect & Act...

The difference between poor and rich nations is not the age of the Nation.

This can demonstrated by countries like India and Egypt, which are more than 2000 years old and still poor countries.

On the other hand, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which are 150 years back were insignificant, today are developed and rich countries.

The different between poor and rich nation does not also depend on the available nature resources.

Japan has limited territory, 80% mountainous, unsuitable for agriculture or farming, but is the 2nd in worlds economy.  The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw material from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.

2nd examples is Switzerland, it does not grow cocoa but produces the best chocolates in the world.  In her small territory she rears animals and cultivated the land only for four months in a year.  Nevertheless manufactures the best milk products.  A small country which is an image of security which has made it the strongest world bank.

Executive from rich countries who interact with their counterparts from poor countries show no significant intellectual differences.

The racial or color factor also do not evince important: migrants heavy in laziness in their country of origin are forcefully productive in rich European countries.

WHAT THEN IS THE DIFFERENCE??

The difference is the ATTITUTE of the people, moulded for many years by education and culture.

When we analyse the conduct of people from the rich and developed countries, it is observed that a majority abide by the following principles of life:
  1. Ethics; as basic principles
  2. Integrity
  3. Responsibility
  4. The respect of laws and regulations
  5. The respect from majority of citizens by right
  6. The love for work
  7. The effort to save and invest
  8. The will to be productive
  9. Punctuality
In the poor countries, the small minority follow this basic principles in their daily life:

We are not poor because we lack natural resources or nature was cruel towards us.
We are poor because we lack attitute.
We lack the will to follow and teach these principle of working of rich and developed societies.
We are in this state because we want to take advantage over everthing and everyone.
We are in this state because we see something done wrong and say: "Let it be".

We should have spirited memory and attitude.  Only then will we be able to change our present state.

and the e-mail end-up with these message.. (as usual)

If you do not forward this message, NOTHING is going to happen to you. Your prized animal is not going to die, you wont be sacked from your job, you wont be having bad luck, for seven years nor are you going to be sick.

But, If you love your COUNTRY, try and circulate this message so that as many people can reflect on this and CHANGE.

think about it :)
