Spilling coffee... who to blame

I found this analogy interesting:
You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!"
*Wrong answer.*
You spilled the coffee because there was _coffee_ in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled _tea_.

*Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. _It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled._

*So we have to ask ourselves... _"what's in my cup?"_*
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?
Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

You choose!

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation for ourselves; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.
Wishing you MORE POSITIVITY IN YOUR CUP....

你懂得吃飯嗎？

米飯裡有抗腸癌物質哦！
你吃米飯嗎？
趁熱吃好 ?
還是放凉一點好 ?

以前做好了米飯總是怕涼了，招呼家人趁熱快吃
錯了！米飯中有一種可以對抗腸癌的物質，叫抗性澱粉，煮熟的米飯只有放涼之後，才會產生更多抗性澱粉。所以米飯煮熟後要打開鍋蓋，用勺子把米飯攪鬆讓米飯散熱，待米飯到溫和的溫度後再吃，就會產生抗性澱粉了。這樣的米飯，因為抗性澱粉較多，抗性澱粉不容易轉化成醣類，有益減肥及較易于控制血糖，對預防腸癌也非常好。

趕快改變吃飯的老觀念吧！

這是北京衛視，"我是大醫生"節目中的醫學專家講的，今天起，我們開始改變趁熱吃的老習慣吧！這使我聯想到吃壽司也很好。難怪日本人長壽，不光是他們吃海魚多，而且吃米飯也科學。又是飯糰又是壽司又是涼糕。

Do you know how to eat rice?

Rice has anti-intestinal cancer substances in it!
Do you eat rice?
Eat while it's hot, okay?
Why don't you cool it down?

The rice used to be cooked before always afraid of the cold, call the family to eat while it's hot
Wrong! Rice contains a substance that is resistant to bowel cancer, called resistant starch. Cooked rice produces more resistant starch only when it is cooled. So when the rice is cooked, open the lid and stir the rice with a spoon to cool it down. When the rice is cooked at a mild temperature, it will produce resistant starch. Such rice, because resistant starch more, resistant starch is not easy to convert into sugar, beneficial to weight loss and easy to control blood sugar, is also very good for the prevention of bowel cancer.

Change the old concept of eating quickly!

This is Beijing Satellite TV, "I'm a doctor" the program medical experts said, today, we began to change the old habit of eating hot! This reminds me that sushi is also good. No wonder the Japanese live longer, not only because they eat more fish, but also because rice is scientific. Rice balls, sushi, and cold cakes.
⏳You will live longer.

Appreciate a father’s love

Please read this carefully and get your son or daughter to read it too.
This post is about what happened in a typical middle-class household.
The son didn't like living in his father's house. This was because of his father's constant 'nagging';
"You are leaving the room without switching off the fan"
"The TV is on in the room where there is no one. Switch it off!"
"Keep the pen in the stand; it is fallen down"

The son didn't like his father nagging him for these minor things.
He had to tolerate these things till yesterday since he was with them in the same house.

But today, however, he had an invitation for a job interview.
"As soon as I get the job, I should leave this town. There won't be any nagging from my father" were his thoughts.

As he was about to leave for the interview, the father advised:
"Answer the questions put to you without any hesitation. Even if you don't know the answer, mention that confidently." His gave him more money than he actually needed to attend the interview.

The son arrived at the interview centre.
He noticed that there were no security guards at the gate. Even though the door was open, the latch was protruding out probably hitting the people entering through the door. He put the latch back properly, closed the door and entered the office.

On both sides of the pathway he could see beautiful flower plants. The gardener had kept the water running in the hose-pipe and was not to be seen anywhere. The water was overflowing on the pathway. He lifted the hosepipe and placed it near one of the plants and went further.

There was no one in the reception area. However, there was a notice saying that the interview was on the first floor. He slowly climbed the stairs.

The light that was switched on last night was still burning at 10 am in the morning. He remembered his father's admonition, "Why are you leaving the room without switching off the light?" and thought he could still hear that now. Even though he felt irritated by that thought, he sought the switch and switched off the light.

Upstairs in a large hall he could see many aspirants sitting waiting for their turn. He looked at the number of people and wondered if he had any chance of getting the job.

He entered the hall with some trepidation and stepped on the "Welcome" mat placed near the door. He noticed that the mat was upside down. He straightened out the mat with some irritation. Habits die hard.

He saw that in a few rows in the front there were many people waiting for their turn, whereas the back rows were empty, but a number of fans were running over those rows of seats.
He heard his father's voice again, "Why are the fans running in the room where there is no one?" He switched off the fans that were not needed and sat at one of the empty chairs.
He could see many men entering the interview room and immediately leave from another door. There was thus no way anyone could guess what was being asked in the interview.

When it was his turn, He went and stood before the interviewer with some trepidation and concern.

The officer took the certificates from him and without looking at them asked, "When can you start work?"

He thought ,"is this a trick question being asked in the interview, or is this a signal that I have been offered the job?" He was confused.

"What are you thinking?" asked the boss. "We didn't ask anyone any question here. By asking a few questions we won't be able to assess the skills of anyone. So our test was to assess the attitude of the person. We kept certain tests based on the behaviour of the candidates and we observed everyone through CCTV. No one who came today did anything to set right the latch at the door, the hose pipe, the welcome mat, the uselessly running fans or lights. You were the only one who did that. That's why we have decided to select you for the job", said the boss.

He always used to get irritated at his father's discipline and demonstrations. Now he realized that it is only the discipline that has got him his job. His irritation and anger at his father vanished completely.
He decided that he would bring his father too to his workplace and left for home happily.

Whatever our father tells us is only for our good aimed at giving us a bright future!

A rock doesn't become a beautiful sculpture if it resists the pain of the chisel chipping it away.

For us to become a beautiful sculpture and a human being we need to accept admonitions that chisel out the bad habits and behaviour from ourselves. That is what our father does when he disciplines us.

The mother lifts the child up on her waist to feed her, to cuddle her, and to put her to sleep. But the father is not like that. He lifts the child up on his shoulders to make her see the world that he couldn't see.
We can realize the pain the mother undergoes by listening to her; but the father's pain can be realized only when others tell us about it.

Our father is our teacher when we are five years old; a terrible villain when we are about twenty, and a guidepost as long as he lives...

Mothers can go to her daughter's or son's home when she's old; but the father doesn't know how to do that...

There is no use in hurting our parents when they are alive and remembering about them when they have passed away. Treat them well always.
This is an example of mentorship.
*PLEASE! Share with parents & children.
Good day

The last wishes of Alexander the Great - mostly about death and funerals

http://blog.funeralguide.co.za/last-wishes-alexander-great/

The last wishes of Alexander the Great

On his death bed, Alexander summoned his generals and told them his three ultimate wishes:

1.  The best doctors should carry his coffin

2.  The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery, and

3.  His hands should be let loose, hanging outside the coffin for all to see.

One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain.

Here is what Alexander the Great had to say:

1.  I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that, in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal

2.  I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth

3.  I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is TIME.

TIME is our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED.  We can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce more time. When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of our life that we will never take back. Our time is our life.

May you have plenty of TIME and may you have the wisdom to give it away

New way of STEALING...

New way of STEALING...

This is a new one. People sure stay busy
Trying to cheat us, don't they? Be sure to read Scene 3. Quite interesting

SCENE 1

A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker. After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself,
'Funny, I thought I locked the locker... Hmm, '
He dressed and just flipped the wallet To make sure all was in order. Everything looked okay - all cards were in place...

A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of$14,000!

He called the credit card company and started
yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions.

Customer care personnel verified that there was no mistake in the system And asked if his card had been stolen...

'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made.

An expired similar credit card from the same
bank was in the wallet. The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards.

Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he
did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.

How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy? $9,000!

Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped? Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies. It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to a big one!
=================

SCENE 2.

A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card. The bill for the meal came, he signed it and the waitress folded the receipt And passed the credit card along.

Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person.

He called the waitress and she looked perplexed. She took it back, apologised, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.

All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card.

No exchange of words -- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology..
(This scenario actually happened to me at a local restaurant - Falls Terrace - between the waitress and the front desk cashier.)

Verdict Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours. Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time. Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs.

FOR YOUR OWN SAKE,
DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!
=================

SCENE 3:

Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in. I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my checking account. The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure.

While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialling. I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture.

He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is
taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on. It then dawned on me: the only thing there
was my credit card, so now I'm paying close
attention to what he is doing..

He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open. About five seconds later, I heard the chime that
tells you that the picture has been saved.

Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact
that this boy just took a picture of my credit card.

Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened. Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlour.

All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times. Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless.

Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card.

Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.

FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN THINK OF.
LET'S GET THE WORD OUT! JUST BE AWARE.

Never let your card out of your sight...
check and check again!

Scary isn't it...

New way of STEALING...

Don't delete this one!!
