USED vs LOVED

While a man was polishing his new car,
his 4 yr old son picked up a stone
and scratched lines on the side of the car.
In anger, the man took the child's hand
and hit it many times not realizing
he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers
due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father.....
with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'
The man was so hurt and speechless;
he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions..... .
sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;
the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits;
choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely
life & remember this:
Things are to be used and people are to be loved.
The problem in today's world is
that people are used while things are loved.

Let's try always to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder..
I hope you have a good day no matter what problems you may face
it's the only day you'll have before it's over.

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321


Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:


What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did..

Have a nice day & be blessed!!

Some are close and even from your home state,
Some are on earlier, others are on late.
An internet friend listens, suggests,
And may complain,
But no matter where they are from,
The friendship remains.

Some internet friends have never met,
And others met just once,
Some have joined one another for dinners,
Others have for lunch.
You are my internet friend,
We have a wonderful time.
Of the friends on the internet,
I'm glad you're mine.

Please stay in touch.
I am glad I am your friend
And also that you are mine!

The Geography of a Woman
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ------
~*Between the ages of 18 - 21 a woman is like Africa or Australia. She is half discovered, half wild and naturally beautiful with bushland around the fertile deltas.

~*Between the ages of 21 - 30 a woman is like America or Japan. Completely discovered, very well developed and open to trade especially with countries with cash or cars.

~*Between the ages of 30 - 35, she is like India or Spain. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of its own beauty.

~*Between the ages of 35 - 40 a woman is like France or Argentina. She may have been half destroyed during the war but can still be a warm and desirable place to visit.

~*Between the ages of 40 - 50 she is like Yugoslavia or Iraq. She lost the war and is haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary.

~*Between the ages of 50 - 60 she is like Russia or Canada. Very wide, quiet and the borders are practically unpatrolled but the frigid climate keeps people away.

~*Between the ages of 60 - 70 a woman is like England or Mongolia. With a glorious and all conquering past but alas no future
...After 70, they become Albania or Afghanistan. Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there. 

HAPPY WOMAN'S DAY @ MARCH 8, 2009 WITH LOVE, NEG

 

 Here is a story about Rosita and Pedro (it's below). 

                                      




It's a romantic full  moon, when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu."

"Oh no, not  now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita.

"Oh, c'mon baby, let's you  and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Pedro  begged.

"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied  Rosita.

"Please, corazoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with  me."

Rosita looked at Pedro and said, "OK, one time, we'll do  Weeweechu."

Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both  sang.....
 


"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas,  Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."

MERRY  CHRISTMAS!!!!!
 

 I was enjoying life alone.
My soul was mine to control.
But then you came into my life,
now everything seems right.

In your arms, I feel secured,
and I love the feeling they endure.
Which makes my emotions go high,
I believe I can fly.

Your sweet tender kisses,
linger when you're missed.
And when we are apart,
You are still here in my heart

I never thought I could feel so whole,
when I gave away my soul.
But now I see, long ago, I was wrong
because now my heart is where it belongs
