Mind Game

This one will mess with your mind...

3 men go into a motel. The man behind the desk said the room is $30, so each man paid $10 and went to the room.

A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only $25, so he sent the bellboy to the 3 guys' room with $5.

On the way, the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split $5 evenly between 3 men, so he gave each man a $1 and kept the other $2 for himself.

This meant that the 3 men each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27, add the $2 that the bellboy kept = $29.

Where is the other dollar?

Can you find it ?

Joke : The Spoon

Let's begin the day with a joke. Please read the story ... :-)

A timeless lesson on how Consultants can make a difference for an organization:

Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket.

It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the spoon?"

"Well," he explained, "the restaurant's owners hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift."

As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare.

"I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now."

I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter's fly. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies.

So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?"

"Oh, certainly!" Then he lowered his voice. "Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we could save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of our "you know what", we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39 percent."

"After you get it out, how do you put it back?"
"Well," he whispered, "I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon."

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 cups of coffee

*Something we should try to remember........*

When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a
day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front
of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then
asked the
students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between
the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They
agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar
was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and
poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space

between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize
that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important
things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your
favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained,
your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and
your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. "If you put the sand into
the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf
balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on
the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important
to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with
your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to
dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and
fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that
really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Wrong Answer.

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide , around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year.

Valentine Inspiration : The Meaning of Love

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to never have the courage to let that person know how you feel. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make dark day seem bright, It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, a hour to like someone, and a day to love someone; but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you and you just have to let go. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The Essence of Being Alone

all your life, you had specific dreams about
what your family life would be like when you finally married.

you were so intent on what you wanted,
you even made a list of qualities and characteristics you were looking
for in a spouse, in a home,in your job, in your children.

but time passed, and that person you were so intent on
didn't come along.

all of your friends married, had children, had beautiful homes.

and still you were single. you prayed and prayed and
prayed for that person to come along, but nothing happened.

you had a good job. you served in your church.

you spent daily time with the Lord in prayer and
studying the word.

you dedicated your life to serving God in every way
possible, but still nothing.

so you decided to take matters into your own hands,
and you began an active search for a mate.

and within a short period, you met someone who almost fit the bill.

almost.

sure, there were a few things missing, a few rusty spots in that person's character.

but, after all, no one is perfect.

maybe your goals were too high. maybe you'd been asking for the impossible.

maybe this was the person God wanted for you
so your character could grow through dealing with his or her failings.

even though it often seems that God is slow to answer prayers,
no matter whether it's about a mate, or a job, or our children, or our finances, or anything else,
we have to remember that God doesn't wear a watch.

nor does he look at our human calendars.
he sees with eternal eyes.

he operates on an eternal timetable, according to his plan and his schedule.

if God seems to be running late, don't get impatient
and run ahead of him.

wait for the Lord's timing in everything.

being alone or simply being single means you have
the time to grow and be the person you want to be.

single gives you space to grow.

sometimes, it is harder to grow when you are too close to someone.

trees are planted far apart so they can spread their branches and become strong as they mature.

single means learning to live by yourself.

however, that is no more difficult than learning
to live with somebody else.

single means freedom.

you are free to spend a week's vacation on the beach,
to take computer courses, to work late on an interesting project,
to spend the day in bed with a good book or simply with a person who has read one.

single means learning not to need a man or woman
to make your life meaningful but learning to live
with a man or woman because you want to be with him or her.

single means that sometimes you will wonder
why you will bite your lip and feel wistful and wonder
if marriage is better.

ironically, yet quite happily, single is feeling good
about being in control of your life.

it is liking and respecting who you are and why you are.

single is realizing that being married is not necessarily better, it is merely different.

single means that there could be something wonderful
around the corner and you can take advantage of it.

being single means you are free to love again.

"to every thing there is a season, and a time to
every purpose under the heaven" - (eccl 3:1 kjv)

Love and Friendship

Anger is only one letter short of danger
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.


He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others
You can't live long enough to make them all
yourself.

Friends, you and me...
You brought another friend...
And then there were 3...
We started our group...
Our circle of friends...
And like that circle...
There is no beginning or end...

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That is why it is called the present.
