【皮鞋的来历】


很久很久以前,人类都还赤着双脚走路。

有一位国王到某个偏远的乡间旅行,因为路面崎岖不平,有很多碎石头,刺得他的脚又痛又麻。回到王宫后,他下了一道命令,要将国内的所有道路都铺上一层牛皮。他认为这样做,不只是为自己,还可造福他的人民,让大家走路时不再受刺痛之苦。

但即使杀尽国内所有的牛,也筹措不到足够的皮革,而所花费的金钱、动用的人力,更不知凡几。虽然根本做不到,甚至还相当愚蠢,但因为是国王的命令,大家也只能摇头叹息。

一位聪明的仆人大胆向国王提出建言:「国王啊!为什么您要劳师动众,牺牲那么多头牛,花费那么多金钱呢?您何不只用两小片牛皮包住您的脚呢?」国王听了很惊讶,但也当下领悟,于是立刻收回成命,改采这个建议。据说,这就是「皮鞋」的由来。


小哲理:
想改变世界,很难;要改变自己,则较为容易。
与其改变全世界,不如先改变自己--「将自己的双脚包起来」。
改变自己的某些观念和作法,以抵御外来的侵袭。
当自己改变后,眼中的世界自然也就跟着改变了。
如果你希望看到世界改变,那么第一个必须改变的就是自己!!

和尚与屠夫



从前有一个和尚跟一个屠夫是好朋友。和尚天天早上要起来念经,而屠夫天天要起来杀猪。为了不耽误他们早上的工作,他们约定早上互相叫对方起床。
多年以后,和尚与屠夫相继去世了。屠夫上了天堂,而和尚却下了地狱。
为何会如此??
因为屠夫天天作善事,叫和尚起来念经,相反地,和尚却天天叫屠夫起来杀生。。。。

TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE BORN IN THE 50's and 60's /early 70s

First, we survived with mothers who had no maids. They cooked /cleaned while taking care of us at the same time.

They took aspirin, candy
floss, fizzy drinks, shaved ice with syrup and diabetes was rare. Salt added to Pepsi or Coke was remedy for fever.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets.

As children, we would ride with our parents on bicycles/ motorcycles for 2 or 3. Richer ones in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a
pirate taxi was a special treat.

We drank water from the
tap and NOT from a bottle... We would spend hours on the fields under bright sunlight flying our kites, without worrying about UV rays which never seem to affect us. We go into the jungle to catch spiders without worries of Aedes mosquitoes. With mere 5 pebbles (stones) would be a endless game. With a ball (tennis ball best) we boys would run like crazy for hours.

We caught gupp
ies in drains / canals and when it rained we swam there. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually worried about being unhygenic.

We ate salty, very sweet
& oily food, candies, bread and real butter and drank very sweet soft drinks, sweet coffee/tea, ice kachang, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in
the morning and play all day, till streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours
repairing our old bicycles and wooden scooters out of scrap and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, multiple channels on cable TV, DVD movies, no surround sound, no phones, no personal computers, no Internet. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and we still continued the stunts.
We never had birthday parties till we were 21,
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and just yelled for them!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
Yet this generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 40 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! And YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the government regulated our lives for our own good.

and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.




A Stunning Senior Moment!!


A self-important college freshman walking along the beach took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen resting on the steps why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one" the student said loud enough for others to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon. We have nuclear energy, ships and cell phones, computers with light speed...... and many more."

After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows. "You're right son. We didn't have those things when we were young.... so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little sh*t what are you doing for the next generation??"
