NAIL IN THE FENCE - compliments of VIVEK DMELLO, G.M.
Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence. (Most importantly the last sentence)
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the ! day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, “You
have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say “I’m sorry”, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.” It’s National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it mean s sending it back to the person who
sent it to you. If it comes back to you, then you’ll know you have a circle of friends.
YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED! ….you need to learn Happiness is what one feels when one gives out love.Where there is happiness there is love.Get rid of all the unhappiness that is caused by temper and the wrong we have in us .Clean the dirt from your lives before it claims yours..
Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.
THE SECRET SHARED…so rare, so true if you just believe all your wishes and more will come true..Its my secret now it yours and for everyone…

The Secret
One day, one friend asked another, “How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down.”
With her eyes smiling, she said, “I know the Secret!” “What secret is that?” To which she replied, “I’ll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others.”
“The Secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don’t need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down. Since I learned that ‘Secret’, I am happy.”
The questioner’s first thought was, “That’s too simple!” But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn’t! She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn’t. When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story ,a simple gift from God.
Now you know it too! We can’t depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on to you! So once you get it, what will you do?
YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it’s not really a secret…
We just have to believe it and do it…
Really trust God!
In everything you do, put GOD first, and he will direct you and crown your effort with success.

Your Daily Dose of Inspiration!!!!….Jessica Cox
Started by VIVEK DMELLO, G.M.
Jessica was born without arms as a result of a rare congenital disease. Like every child, she did not understand why she had no arms as did the other children.” It was difficult to be different”. Regardless of that she took part in different activites such as gymnastics, dancing and singing frequently participating in large presentations. When she was young she frequently felt opposed, downtrodden and on the verge of tears resulting from the anger due to lack of arms. Given this ,she placed all her energy in the practice of sports. For Jessica the main challenge of being born without arms was the constant perception of others more than the physical adversity. I had the habit of becoming very upset when people look at me walking in the street or eating with my feet. However, I learned to look only at the positive side of situations and this gave me the ability to utilize these positive vibrations to become an example for optimism.
Jessica considers her parents as role models to be followed and as pillars for her. My Mother is my model and she always told me that I could do all that I wanted to do. My father never shed a fear since my birth as he does not consider me to be a victim. It is difficult to be a father of a handicapped person. He was my base during the difficult moments and it was he who forged the person I am today.
The first time I learned to drive a car, it was thanks to some modifications. Even with that ,after Having learned well, I decided to remove the modifications placed in the car and now I hold a driving permit without restrictions. Holder of a degree in Psychology from the University of Arizona, she always attracts attention when she fills her car with gas. She is able to write 25 words per minute, dry her hair, put on make -up and wear her contact lenses at the same ease as anyone. Jessica, 26 years old and 1.55 meters tall ,is the first lady in history to pilot a plane without arms.
This inspiring lady and heroine for numerous persons, irradiates always joy and is proof of having a great sense of humor, On Mother’s Day last year she flew alone by herself without anyone accompanying her, dragging a notice board saying simply” Look mom without arms”. That day is registered approximately 130 hours of flight time by herself.
Sometimes fear starts from lack of knowledge of the unknown. As soon as I started flying I realized that my fear came because I knew too much about the subject. There is a universal fear, that of the lack of confidence in yourself. Thanks to her confidence, her preparations and ambitions Jessica has travelled a long path to become that which she is today. After becoming an outstanding speaker, she was also a children’s guide in the International Amputees during the last 5 years. Jessica Cox hopes to marry and have children.’ i know that it will be difficult to form a family, but I know that I will be a good mother”. Between laughs she says the hardest part will be a suitor asks her hand from her parents. ” I do not have arms, but that is not what determines where I can go”” Our great fear is not so much to not be upto measure, it is that we are stronger over and above all measure”.
” The human beings must live some difficult moments in life, to have emotional moments”.
yeah

Logical or Lateral Thinking !!! THINK !!!.
Started by VIVEK DMELLO, G.M.
Many years ago in a small Indian village, A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.
The Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer’s beautiful
Daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer’s debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.
So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide
the matter.
He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into
an empty money bag. Then the girl would Have to pick one pebble from
the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her
father’s debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her
father’s debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer’s field. As
They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he
Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two
Black pebbles and put them into the bag.
He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag.
Now, imagine that you were standing in the field.. What would you have
Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you
Have told her?
Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag
And expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order
To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.
Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with
The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between
lateral And logical thinking.
The girl’s dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking.
Think of the consequences if she chooses
The above logical answers.
What would you recommend to the Girl to do?
Well, here is what she did ….
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without
Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path
Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.
“Oh, how clumsy of me,” she said. “But never mind, if you look into
the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which
pebble I Picked.”
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had
Picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his
Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into
An extremely advantageous one.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don’t
Attempt to think.

Robert Reich: Why More Immigrants Are An Answer to the Coming Boomer Entitlement Mess -
I was born in 1946, just when the boomer wave began. Bill Clinton was born that year, too. So was George W. So was Laura Bush. And Ken Starr (remember him?) And then, the next year, Hillary Clinton. And soon Newt Gingrich (known as “Newty” as a boy). And Cher. Why so many of us begin getting born…
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ’ Tell me what you see.’
‘Carrots, eggs, and coffee,’ she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hardboiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, ‘What does it mean, mother?’
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
‘Which are you?’ she asked her daughter. ‘When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity?
Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
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 brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
Be A Coffee Bean

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
