A Joke

A guy walking down the street sees a woman with perfect breasts. He says to her, “Hey miss, would you let me bite your breasts for $100 dollars?

“Are you nuts?!!” she replies, and keeps walking away. He turns around, runs around the block and gets to the corner before she does.

“Would you let me bite your breasts for $1,000 dollars?” he asks again.

“Listen you, I’m not that kind of woman! Got it?” So the guy runs around the next block and faces her again. “Would you let me bite your breasts just once for $10,000 dollars?”

She thinks about it for a while and

braver

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.

- Aristotle-

 

destiny is in your hands

Take care of your thoughts,

Then, actions will take care of themselves.

You sow an action and reap a tendency.

You sow a tendency and reap a habit.

You sow your habit and reap your character.

You sow your character and reap your destiny.

Therefore, destiny is in your hands.

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?

love

Being deeply loved by someone

gives you strength while loving someone deeply

gives you courage.

- Lao Tzu -

 

“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.”

Pope John XXIII

“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure – which is, try to please everybody.”

Herbert Swope

“If you have a good name, if you are more often right than you are wrong, if your children respect you, if your grandchildren are glad to see you, if your friends can count on you and you can count on them in time of trouble, if you can face God and say “I have done my best,” then you are a success.”

Ann Landers

We seldom think of what we have but always of what we lack.

Schopenhauer

physicians

The greatest mistake physicians make is that

they attempt to cure the body without attempting to cure the mind;

yet the mind and body are one and should not be treated separately!

Plato

My prescription 4 u
A cute little smile 4 breakfast
More laughs 4 lunch
And lots of happiness 4 dinner
My fee ?
An extra smile whenever u think of me…….

Everything changes except the law of change, you cannot step in the same river twice. The river changes every second; and so does the man who stepped in it. Life is a ceaseless change. The only certainty is today. Why mar the beauty of living today by trying to solve the problems of a future that is shrouded in ceaseless change and uncertainty-a future that no one can possibly foretell?

Greek philosopher Heraclitus

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

The courage to change the things I can; and the

 wisdom to know the difference.

Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr, Professor of Applied Christianity

پیوسته باید مواظب سه چیز باشیم .

وقتی تنها هستیم مواظب افکار خود ،

وقتی با خانواده هستیم مراقب اخلاق خود

و وقتی که در جامعه می باشیم مواظب زبان خود .

Mother's Day Poem

A MOTHER

A Mother does not come with instructions attached titled, “How a mother should be”
There are no numbered, lettered parts to put together in sequence.
She does not come with all the right knowledge or all the right tools.
There will always be parts left over and more to learn.
She gathers them all along the journey,
And assembles her love that began even before you were born.
If you are lucky, you will have many mothers.
They will come to you in many forms along your way.
You will learn much of who you can be from this journey.
With her, you will learn, when she is there and when she is not.
Maybe more so when she is not.
She may be happy, she may be sad.
She may be a lunatic or a genius.
She will be all these things at one time or another
or all at the same time, On the same day, in one hour or one minute.
She will be different from you and she will be like you.
She will have a part of you and you will have a part of her, from birth.
Alive or dead, Away or near, in love or in hate,
She will always be there, there will always be more....
When she is gone from this physical, living world,
Her spirit will dance, tantalizing, lovingly, in your bones, forever.
You get to choose to let it torment you or set you free.
Her bite will be loving; even harsh words a caress.
She is there to watch over you, to hold you when you need comfort
To warn you when danger is near.
She will feed you and provide for you as best as she is able,
Soothe your hurts, pick you up and dry your tears.
If you will let her, she will do this all your life.
With courage, love and sometimes fear.
What she fears, she may never show you.
What she loves, you have to seek.
When you find and accept both,
Your hearts may rest together in love and peace.

Cynthia Hector Johnson
