A frail old man went to live with his son,
daughter-in- law, and a four-year old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was
blurred, and his step faltered.
The family ate together nightly at the dinner table.
But the elderly grandfather' s shaky hands
and failing sight made eating rather difficult.
Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in- law became irritated with the mess.
"We must do something about grandfather, "
said the son.
I've had enough of his spilled milk,
noisy eating, and food on the floor.
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the
family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table.
Since grandfather had broken a dish or two,
his food was served in a wooden bowl.
Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather' s
direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp
admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed
his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly,
"What are you making?"
Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
"Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and
mama to eat your food from when I grow up."
The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents that they were speechless.
Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.
Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took grandfather' s hand and gently
led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family.
And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care
any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled,
or the tablecloth soiled.
Children are remarkably perceptive.
Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen, and
their minds ever process the messages they absorb.
If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere
for family members, they will imitate that attitude
for the rest of their lives.
The wise parent realizes that every day that
building blocks are being laid for the child's future.
Let us all be wise builders and role models.
Take care of yourself, ... and those you love, ...
today, and everyday!
People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did,
But people will never forget
how you made them feel"
Belive
There may be days when you get up in
the morning and things aren't the way
you had hoped they would be,
that's when you have to tell yourself
that things will get better.
There are times when people disappoint you
and let you down,but those are the times
when you must remind yourself to trust
your own judgments and opinions,
to keep your life focused on believing
in yourself and all that you are capable of.
There will be challenges to face and
changes to make in your life,
and it is up to you to accept them.
Constantly keep yourself headed
in the right direction for you.
It may not be easy at times, but in those
times of struggle you will find a stronger
sense of who you are,
So when the days come that are filled with
frustration and unexpected responsibilities,
remember to believe in yourself
and all you want your life to be,
because the challenges and changes
will only help you to find the goals that
you know are meant to come true for you.
Keep believing in yourself.
Believe in yourself
To the depth of your being
Nourish the talents
Your spirit is freeing
Know in your heart
When the going gets slow
That your faith in yourself
Will continue to grow
Don't forfeit ambition
When others may doubt
It's your life to live
You must live it throughout
Learn from your errors
Don't dwell in the past
Never withdraw
From a world that is vast
Believe in yourself
Find the best that is you
Let your spirit prevail
Steer a course that is true

Egg
A wife was making fried eggs for her husband for breakfast. Suddenly her husband burst into the kitchen.
"Careful... Careful!!! Put in some more butter! Oh my God! You're cooking too many at once. Too many! Turn them! Turn them now! We need more butter. Oh my God! Where are we going to get more butter? They're going to stick! Careful... Careful!!! I said be careful! You never listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. Use the salt! The salt!"
The wife stared at him and asked, "What the heck is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"
The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving with you in the car."

Vanity
This scene of a woman doing some makeup in front of a mirror, looks like a skull from a distance. The title has two meanings : vanity is the name of a dressing table with a mirror, it also means excessive pride in appearance. The message behind the image is : don't worry too much about material things. We'll all be dead in the end.

Tommorow is not Promised
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there.
They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be; your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger, who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learned from.
In fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count.
Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right too.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of your life anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live in it!
Live each day as if it were your last.

Success
There was a farmer who grew superior
quality and award-winning corn.
Each year he entered his corn in the state
fair where it won honour and prizes.
One year a newspaper reporter
interviewed him and learnt something
interesting about how he grew it.
The reporter discovered that the farmer
shared his seed corn with his neighbours'.
"How can you afford to share your
best seed corn with your neighbours
when they are entering corn in competition
with yours each year?" the reporter asked.
"Why sir, "said the farmer, "didn't you know?
The wind picks up pollen from the ripening
corn and swirls it from field to field.
If my neighbours grow inferior,
sub-standard and poor quality corn,
cross-pollination will steadily degrade
the quality of my corn.
If I am to grow good corn, I must
help my neighbours grow good corn."
The farmer gave a superb insight into
the connectedness of life.
His corn cannot improve unless
his neighbour's corn also improves.
So it is in the other dimensions!
Those who choose to be at harmony
must help their neighbours and
colleagues to be at peace.
Those who choose to live well must
help others to live well.
The value of a life is
measured by the lives it touches.

Old Vs New
A self-important university student took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one', the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes and space travel. Man has landed on the Moon and Space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, ships and electric and hydrogen cars, mobile phones, computers with light-speed processing.. . and more.'
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows:
'you're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young....... .so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little idiot, what are you doing for the next generation?'
The applause was amazing..... ..

Funny
Once Santa & Banta were traveling along with their friends Monty & Jaggi. On a road surrounded by forests on both sides, their car was attacked by robbers. Santa & his friends were pulled out of the car. The robbers blasted the car and took Santa, Banta and their friends in the middle of the forest where their boss was residing.
Now, this boss was fond of jokes. So, he put the condition that whoever tells a joke that makes every single person laugh should be left unharmed and alive, but if one single person doesn't laugh then the joke-teller would be shot to death.
Banta started telling the funniest joke he had ever heard, "One day........." and when he was finished, everybody were falling with laughter except Santa. So according to the vow, the boss shot poor Banta.
Now, it was the turn of Monty. He also told the best joke he had ever heard. Again everybody laughed including the boss & his robbers, but still Santa was quite as a statue. So the boss shot him.
Then came Jaggi. As he opened his mouth to tell the joke, Santa suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone was puzzled. Santa was laughing madly.
The boss asked him, "Why the hell are you laughing without hearing the joke?"
Santa said laughing and giggling, "Oh! How funny Banta's joke was!"

Barber
There was a good old barber in Bangalore.
One day a florist goes to him for a haircut.
After the cut, he goes to pay the barber
and the barber replies:
I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you;
I am doing a Community Service.
Florist is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the Barber
goes to open his shop, there is a
"Thank You" Card and a dozen roses
waiting at his door.
A Confectioner goes for a haircut and
he also goes to pay the barber he again
refuses to take the money.
The Confectioner is happy and
leaves the shop.
The next morning when the Barber
goes to open his shop, there is another
"Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes
waiting at his door.
A Software Engineer goes for a haircut
and he also goes to pay the barber again
refuses the money saying that it was
a community service.
The next morning when the Barber goes to
open his shop, guess what he finds there......

Bananas!
This is interesting. After Reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression : According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS : Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure : This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke
Brain Power : 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped
through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation : High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers : One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn : Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness : Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood
sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites : Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the
affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves : Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria
found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and
crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady
Ulcers : The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders
because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal = Affective Disorder (SAD) : Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress : Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat,
sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we
are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes : According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine,
"eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
Still wonder why monkeys are so happy most of the time?
