Beautiful Poem
Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God, First fill your own house with Fragrance of love...
Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God, First remove the darkness of sin from your heart...
Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer, First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen...
Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees, First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden...
Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins, First forgive from your heart those who sinned against you.
Vanshaj's
If you look at me with full of anger, then I will look at you with full of smile.
If you hit me hardly, then I will hug you tightly.
If you wanted to kill me, then I will truly forgive you.
If you feel regret after all in the past, then I hope you can forget everything in this present and start to love people around you.

Points to Ponder
An APHORISM is a short, pointed sentence expressing a wise or clever observation or a general truth. Here are some "gems".
1. The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
3. If you don't have a sense of humour, you probably don't have any sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Scratch a cat and you will have a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.
11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. It could be a right number.
13. No one ever says 'It's only a game.' when their team is winning.
14. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.
15. Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.
16 The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)
18. Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than a Yugo.
19. After 50, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead!
20. Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who mind, don't matter.

Very Unusual Accident
You've been waiting for them with bated breath, so without further ado here are the 2008 Darwin awards. (Although I fancy some have rolled over from previous years)
Eighth Place
In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.
Seventh Place
A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who 'totally zoned when he ran,' accidentally jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.
Sixth Place
While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom! When it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Fifth Place
Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.
Fourth Place
Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.
Third Place
After stepping around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into H&J Leather & Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up! and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol.
The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshotwounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt.
HONOURABLE MENTION
Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 A.M. so they lit a quarter stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would happen. Apparently they failed to notice the window was
closed.
RUNNER UP
Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee
rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable, lay near by. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and then tied the other to the bridge.
His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle.. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.
AND THE WINNER IS...
Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt ( Paderborn , Germany ) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief.
Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded.
The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him.

Beware : Energy Saving Bulb Latent Danger
I just read a news about Enegry Saving Bulb which contain toxic mercury. You can go to : here to read about the details.
It's important to keep wary if you found one of your energy saving bulb falls to the floor and break.
The health expert states that toxic mercury inside the bulbs can cause migraines and dizziness. So you have to leave the room within 15 minutes after the bulb break to minimize the effect.
This is for informational purposes only.

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.

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.

Hi, how are you today ?
Hi.. recently I didn't find anything interesting to post to this blog. And I'm really afraid that I'm disappointing all my blog reader. I'm serious :-)
But, in my opinion it's better not to post any article than posting a lot of garbage :-), although I can't make sure which is real garbage and which is valuable information in the point of view of my blog reader. Of course, you can help this by commenting at my post.
You know that my english isn't good, and I know it too.. :) And maybe that's why google analytics stats show me that 80% my visitor was bounced back when visiting my website at first time. That's a sad fact. But it won't make me to give up.
Life is for struggling, isn't it ? I believe that as long as I have hope and strength to keep going, I won't regret anything, and maybe I'll win someday and somehow. Life is working misteriously.
Maybe we'll face a lot of problem, but problem will teach us to make us better. And maybe we'll also stressed with problem. But for that, we just have to know that stress will keep stay in your mind because you allow it to stay.
Ok, enough for now. If you have any question, or if you only want to share your mind, you can contact me by various way. I won't give any email address because I can't tolerate spam. You can post comment and I will reply it by comment too.
Ok, then c u. Hope your life better and better.

It's what they do for a living!!!!
A little story for my blog reader :-)
A man walks into a market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid is spinning a 25 cent coin in the air and catching it between his teeth.
As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat. He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help.
A middle-aged, fairly unnoticeable man in a grey suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee.
At the sound of the commotion, he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the counter.
He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market.Reaching the boy, the man carefully takes hold of the kid's balls and squeezes gently but firmly.
After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the 25 cent piece, which the man catches in his free hand.
Releasing the boy, the man hands the coin to the father and walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill-effects, the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him saying:
"I've never seen anybody do anything like that before - it's fantastic - Are you a doctor?"
"Oh, good heavens, no," the man replies, "I work for the Inland Revenue Department".

Test Your IQ
I got this email from my friend. :
In my opinion, this picture is just a trick... I don't know.. How about you ??
This is what he said :
"
THIS IS NOT A JOKE. BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN.
"
And this is the picture (if the picture isn't moving, try to click on the picture to enlarge it) :
In my opinion, this picture is just a trick... I don't know.. How about you ??
This is what he said :
"
If you see this lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one.
If you try to see it the other way and you can, your IQ is above 160 which is almost a genius.

Keep Your Fork
Hi. So long not to write in this blog again. Recently, I have a lot of works to do, and that made me stop blogging for a while.
Yah,... the works is still there, waiting for me. But, before that I have to post something interesting. I got it from my friend by email. And this is a good story.
And then let the story begin.
Would like to share this one with you....
Keep Your Fork
There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There's one more thing," she said excitedly.
"What's that?" came the Pastor's reply.
"This is very important," the young woman continued. "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Pastor stood looking a t the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
That surprises you, doesn't it?" the young woman asked.
"Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request," said the Pastor.
The young woman explained. "My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!'
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my
hand and I want them to wonder "What's with the fork?" Then I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork ..the best is yet to come"
The Pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming.
At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, "What's with the fork?" And over and over he smiled.
During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
Show your friends how much you care Remember to always be there for them, even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be their time to "Keep your fork."
Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share . being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND even if it means sending back to the person who sent it to you.
And keep your fork.

Monkey Business
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to all the villagers there that he would buy monkeys for $1.00.
The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands of monkeys at $1.00 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy monkeys at $2.00. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $2.50, and the supply of monkeysbecame so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $5.00! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy the monkeys on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $3.50 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $5.00."
The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere!! !
Welcome to the "Stock" Market!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1920's, 30's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a Ute on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Red Rooster.
Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on the weekends, somehow we didn't starve to death!
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy fruit tingles and some crackers to blow up frogs with.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and cubby houses and played in creek beds with matchbox cars.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no Lawsuits from these accidents.
Only girls had pierced ears!
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross buns at Easter time.......no really!
We were given BB guns and sling shots for our 10th birthdays,
We drank milk laced with Strontium 90 from cows that had eaten grass covered in nuclear fallout from the atomic testing at Mara Linga in 1956.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet!
Footy had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
Our teachers used to belt us with big sticks and leather straps and bully's always ruled the playground at school.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
Our parents got married before they had children and didn't invent stupid names for their kids like "Kiora" and "Blade" (Ed. Nothing wrong with Blade (named in honour of champion ruckman Brendan Lade))
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 70 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

Our teachers used to belt us with big sticks and leather straps and bully's always ruled the playground at school.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
Our parents got married before they had children and didn't invent stupid names for their kids like "Kiora" and "Blade" (Ed. Nothing wrong with Blade (named in honour of champion ruckman Brendan Lade))
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 70 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
God's Boxes
I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,

"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."
