COFFEE CUPS
A group of alumni, highly established in theircareers, got together to visit their old universityprofessor. Conversation soon turned into complaintsabout stress in work and life.Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to thekitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and anassortment of cups * porcelain, plastic, glass,crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, someexquisite - telling them to help themselves to thecoffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee inhand, the professor said:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cupswere taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheapones. While it is normal for you to want only the bestfor yourselves, that is the source of your problemsand stress.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to thecoffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and insome cases even hides what we drink. What all of youreally wanted was coffee, not the cup, but youconsciously went for the best cups... And then youbegan eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this:Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position insociety are the cups. They are just tools to hold andcontain Life, and the type of cup we have does notdefine, nor change the quality of Life we live.Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we failto enjoy the coffee God has provided us." God brewsthe coffee, not the cups.....Enjoy your coffee!
"Thehappiest people don't have the best of everything.They just make the best of everything.
"Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.
You are the miracle, my friend,Your life either shines a light - or casts a shadow.

What your dog is trying to tell you?
by Gabrielle Lichterman
A peek at his ears reveals...
His mood One of a dog's cutest features is an instant barometer for wgat he's feeling. For instance, are his ears relaxed and neither pushed forward nor back on his head? He's happy and feeling sure of himself, says psychologist Stanley Coren, Ph.D., author of How to Speak Dog: mastering the Art of Dog-Human Communication. If they're floppy ears, are they stuck close to his head? Or, if they're prick ears, are they open, forming a "V"? He's feeling less confident and may be a little worries. Are his ears bending forward? He's unhappy or feeling threatened, so you may want to give him space.
Look at her eyebrows to know...
When she's confused If she's not following your commands, her eyebrows (the distinctive ridge above her eyes), can tell you if it's because she doesn't understand what you want. What to look for? One eyebrow up and one eyebrow down or both eyebrows are lowered, says Cheryl Smith, author of The Rosetta Bone: The Key to Communication Between Humans and Canines. And what does it mean when the both eyebrows shoot up? Like humans, it means she's surprised.
His nose tells you...
When he's jealous If he's using his sniffer to push another person or dog away from you, it's sure sign he wants you al to himself. That's the news from psychologost at the University of Portsmouth in England, who were surprised to discover that, just like humans, dogs suffer pangs of jealousy.
Look to her mouth to find out...
If she's laughing Yes, dogs laugh! According to researchers at the Spokane Country Regional Animal Protection Service in Washington, a dog'slaugh is like a regular pant, only longer and louder. In fact, it's such a distinct sound, their research found it's the one sound that has the power to soothe other anxious dogs.
Watch his tongue to see...
When he's feeling stressed The easy clue: He's flicking his tongue in and out of his mouth or is licking his nose. "Dogs do this when they feel discomfort or unease," Smith explains. For instance, he may do this when you're brushing tangles out of his coat or the vet is examining him.
Tip: An easy dog destressor: A lavender sachet. Researchers recently discovered this sewwt scent, which is known to soothe humans, also instantly relaxes dogs.
When he cocks his head sideways...
He's curious It's one of a dog's funniest expressions, but what he's really trying to ask is, "What was that?" For example, may be he heard a weird noise outside or you said something in a funny voice, says Brenda Aloff, author of Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide.
Tip: Think his head tilt is super-cute? Here's how to get him to do it on command. When he does it on his own, reward him with praise, such as "Good tilt!", then give him a treat. Pretty soon, all you'll need is the command "tilt" to get him to do it.
Looking at her paw tells you...
When she needs more information Think she's trying to shake hands when she sits down and offers one of her front paws without warning? Not necessarily. This is also her way of saying, "I'm not sure what to do now," says Smith. Giving her a command-such as "lay down" or "fetch a toy"-will make her instantly happier.
His tail reveals...
How he feels about what he's approaching When your dog wags his tail to the right side of his rump, he's happy about what he's heading toward, like you or another friendly dog. When he wags it to the left side, he's afraid of what's ahead, reveals a study published in the journal Current Biology. The reason? Each side of a dog's body corresponds to a different hemisphere in the brain that governs these emotions, the researchers say.
Tip: A wagging tail isn't always friendly! If it's a swishy, loose wag that's parralel to the ground, he's happy. But if his tail is high and moving in short fast strokes or is low and moving in very slow strokes, he's anxious or angry, says Jamie Shaw, author of Dog to Dog Communiation: The Right Way to Socialize Your Dog.
When she does this with her body...
She's telling you she loves you It's no secret that when your dog covers your face with kisses she thinks you're the greatest person around. However, there's another way your dog lets you know she loves you: When she bows down while doing a great big stretch with her front or back legs. "There is a 'greeting stretch'," says Aloff. And when she does it in front of you, it's extra special, Aloff says, because it's a greeting dogs save only for those they adore the most.

清除體內毒素 4 種 方法 , 下列方法可幫您及時清除體內毒素。
榮總專作放射線之醫師，認為『微波爐』會利用電波少一個正價電子，運用水分子之震盪使食物變熱，所以食物易變成自由基，就會容易致癌。所以偶而方便用一下，最好還是少用『微波爐』最好！
以下文章值得參考:
人體內的有毒物質主要來源於兩個途徑：一是大氣與水源中的污染物，通過呼吸及進餐而侵入人體內，鉛、鋁、汞等重金屬就是其代表； 另一個是食物在體內代謝後的廢物，如自由基、硫化氫等。時下，清除體內垃圾已成健康時尚。 株連" 全身。借助主動咳嗽可以" 清掃 "肺臟。每天 到室外空氣清新處做深呼吸運動，深吸氣時緩緩抬起雙臂，然後主動咳嗽，使氣流從口、鼻中噴出，咳出痰液。
2.飲水沖洗法： 定時排便，縮短糞便在腸道內的停留時間，及時排出糞便中的毒素。每天清晨空腹喝一杯溫開水，有利於大便通暢以及毒素從尿液中排出。
3.運動出汗法： 皮膚也是排泄毒素的途徑，主要通過出汗的方式，讓毒素隨汗液排出體外。
4.巧用食物法：
●常飲鮮果、鮮菜汁 ( 不經炒煮) ，鮮果、鮮菜汁是體內 "清潔劑 "，牠們能排除體內堆積的毒素和廢物。
●常吃海帶，海帶對放射性物質有特別的親和力，海帶膠質能促使體內的放射性物質隨大號排出體外，從而? 謅眯餺g? 坁娃閬b人體內的積聚，也減少了放射性疾病的發生率。
●常喝綠豆湯，綠豆湯能輔助排泄體內的毒素，促進機體的正常代謝。
●常吃豬血，豬血中的血漿蛋白，經過人體胃酸和消化液中的脢分解後，會產生一種解毒和滑腸作用的物質，與侵入胃腸的粉塵、有害金屬微粒發生化學作用，促進代謝。
一生中有22個防衰老關鍵點（新發現）
時光如梭，年華易逝。美容手段即使再先進，也抵抗不了自然的規律。不過英國《每日郵報》健康專欄作者，安吉拉·愛潑斯坦博士于10月10日撰文介紹，各種最新研究顯示，人一生中共有22個關鍵點，在生活上做一些小改變，可以讓你遠離衰老和疾病。
一、8歲決定女性生育能力。此時的激素分泌和黃體酮的水準會對她的一生產生影響，因此要避免劇烈的體育運動，飲食一定要跟上。
二、10歲女性青春期萌芽。40%的骨骼在此時以衝刺的速度形成，攝入足夠的鈣是至關重要的。多食用乳製品、多做運動，避免肥胖。
三、17歲智齒發育。出現口腔疾病，使用漱口水或淡鹽水漱口消炎鎮痛，必要時使用撲熱息痛和阿司匹林。
四、25歲骨骼發育達到頂點。要攝入足夠的鈣和維生素D，一般地說，每天要喝一瓶牛奶或優酪乳，並多曬太陽以獲得維生素D。
五、28歲男性開始脫髮。睾丸激素的水準變化是毛囊萎縮的主要原因，注意早餐中蛋白質的攝入，多食用雞蛋和瘦肉可以延緩毛囊的萎縮。
六、30歲新陳代謝能力下降，開始發胖。每天少攝入200卡路里的熱量，可以防止身體走形。
七、34歲女性最佳生育年齡。此時生育可以使母嬰都更健康，母親更長壽。每天服用葉酸對母嬰健康都有好處。
八、35歲白髮開始出現。這是毛囊中的黑色素細胞不活躍造成的，服用B族維生素可以延緩白髮的生成，並且也有緩解精神壓力的作用。
九、40歲男性生育能力下降。無論母親是否年輕，此時受孕的嬰兒其流產率都會增高。讓睾丸保持較低的溫度，是提高精子存活率的關鍵。多攝入富含鋅、硒、維生素C、維生素E的食物能提高精子的活力。
十、41歲骨質疏鬆的跡象開始出現。加強鍛煉，每週做有氧運動，例如跳舞、跑步等，快走四五次。
十一、42歲大腦進入中年期，腦細胞每天流失1萬個。隨著迴圈能力的下降，腦部供氧減少，記憶力受到影響。經常讀恁B下棋，彈奏樂器都可以幫助我們保持頭腦的敏銳。
十二、46歲開始出現老花眼的症狀。這是眼睛的聚焦能力下降造成的，雖然老花眼不能抗拒，但是戒煙可以避免進一步的問題，特別是白內障的發生。
十三、50歲開始出現帕金森症。多攝入富含維生素E的食物，如橄欖油、瓜子和杏仁。
十四、51歲是女性更年期的平均年齡。改掉喝咖啡的習慣，換成茶或果茶，同時多攝入鈣。
十五、59歲容易受到皮膚病的威脅。避免皮膚在陽光下暴曬，冬天最好也使用低倍數的防曬霜。
十六、60歲白內障問題突出。多吃扁豆、豆芽、捲心菜、萵筍、奇異果、蜜瓜等食物，注意眼部異常。
十七、63歲是女性卵巢癌的平均年齡。最好多吃花椰菜。十字花科的蔬菜中所含的蛋白質，對卵巢癌細胞有抑制作用。
十八、68歲是關節置換手術的平均年齡。控制體重，過重的體重會增加關節負擔，誘發骨關節炎。
十九、70歲是英國腸癌的平均年齡。多吃藍莓，或其他高纖維的食物可防止癌變。
二十、75歲大部分人會有高血壓。高血壓會誘發心臟病和中風，要定期檢查血壓。
二十一、76歲是英國男性的平均壽命。降低飯量可以更長壽，還可以減少包括癌症等疾病的發生。
二十二、81歲是英國女性的平均壽命。節制飲食，多吃蔬菜和水果，適度吃魚，使用橄欖油，適度地飲用葡萄酒。

$20.00
Sometimes we just need to be reminded!
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by: holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.

It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and
WHOSE WE ARE.
WHOSE WE ARE.
You are special!
Don't EVER forget it.

生活故事 源自章璐德
不会有错
有一次参加一个婚礼，搞笑的主持人朗读短文 <太太绝对不会有错>，惹得在座者笑声连连。
“太太绝对不会有错。如果发现太太有错，一定是我看错，一定是我的错，才害得太太犯错。如果是她自己的错，只要她不认错，她就没有错。如果太太不认错，我还坚持她有错，那就是我的错。太太绝对不会有错，这句话绝对不会有错。总之，自从结了婚，一切都是我的错。” 事实上果真如此吗？谁都知道当然不是。
想起看过有关夫妻生活的另一篇短文 <爱一个人，要......不要......> ：
“要了解，也要开解；要道歉，也要道谢；要认错，也要改错；要体贴，也要体谅；要接受，而不是忍受；要宽容，而不是纵容；要支持，而不是支配；要慰问，而不是责问；要倾诉，而不是控诉；是难忘，而不是遗忘；是彼此交流，而不是凡事交代；是为对方默默祈求，而不是向对方诸多要求；可以浪漫，但不要浪费；可以随时牵手，但不要随便分手。”
人与人之间的关系应该是双行道。朋友相处如是，夫妻相处如是。只要单方面的付出，迟早要出问题。人都有对和错的时候。爱里包容，如此夫妻才能长相厮守。
古语形容夫妻和睦相处为：“相敬如宾”，宾客的宾，而非刀兵的兵。
一方生气的时候，另一方不管对方对错，暂时忍让。针锋相对的结果是两败俱伤。
祝福天下有情人早成眷属，祝愿已成眷属的夫妻相爱相惜，白头到老。

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.
When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down."
It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"
Many years ago in England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.

THE WISE DUCK SAYS...
Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.
Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.
I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it. So I said: Implants?" She hit me.
How come we choose from just two people to run for President and over fifty for Miss America?
I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose-fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place!
When I was young we used to go "skinny dipping," now I just "chunky dunk."
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over? AMEN, AMEN !!
Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
Wouldn't you know it... Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever.
Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside?
Bumper sticker of the year: "If you can read this, thank a teacher -and, since it's in English, thank a soldier"

冷泡茶該怎麼泡呢？
冷泡又有什麼好處呢？
冷泡又有什麼好處呢？
所有的茶都可以冷泡。冷泡茶就是將適當的茶葉放置容器中就地取材的 600cc保特瓶 (或馬克杯都可以）中， 浸泡冷水或冰水等茶湯變成淡金黃色後就可以飲用。
用保特瓶加入茶葉及冷水後放置冰箱冷藏三至四小時風味更佳，但切忌放冰箱兩天以上。 冷泡茶的口感較為甘甜，是因為在冷水中，茶葉本身小分子帶甜味的胺基酸先溶出，而茶葉中苦味來源的單寧酸、咖啡因則較不易溶出；而且經由冷水泡出來的茶葉，對於降低血壓及降低尿酸具有特別的功效。
以熱水泡茶若不夠熟練可能會將茶鹼泡出來，或者高溫沖泡多或是浸泡太久，都有可能將茶鹼釋出。用冷泡法泡出的茶湯就完全沒有釋出太多茶鹼的機率了，一樣可以喝到茶的精華。因為冷泡法會降低咖啡因的釋放，不傷胃也不影響睡眠。
同樣冷泡茶也會減低茶單寧酸的釋出，避免苦澀味，加強甜度，因為冷水中，茶葉中帶甜味的胺基酸小分子，會先溶出，而苦澀來源的單寧酸、咖啡因較不易釋出。另外冷泡法也會降低茶湯咖啡鹼含量，減輕胃壁負擔。因為茶葉中的咖啡鹼，高溫時容易溶出，從而增加胃酸的分泌，冷泡茶湯可以避免這樣問題。
炎炎夏日最適合來一杯冰冰涼涼的 ice tea‧冷泡茶！

Cabin Filter
When you bring your automobile to the dealership, service advisors always encourage you to change the engine air filter, but don't forget to ask about cabin air filter too. You care about your car's engine and you let it breathe in fresh, filtered, clean air. So do you, you have to let your lungs breathe in fresh clean air too.
The grey colored filter on right is my 5 months old cabin filter which I just took out, the white on left is a brand new filter, see the difference?
If you live in a contruction area, or if you drive a lot, and if you have a cabin filter in your car, don't forget to replace it constantly.
This is my own DIY cabin filter using 3M Filtrete MERV 11 rated filter purchased at Lowe's. It basically filters out dust, pollen, smoke, dandruff, grass, tiny leaves, bugs, etc without blocking off your normal AC air flow. Dealerships do carry specific filter for your car, but MERV is little lower than my expectation.
So next time when you turn on the AC and it's like rotten eggs smelled up the car, it's time to get the cabin filter changed. Breathe clean, breathe happy!

睡眠小百科
人的睡眠是最完整、最系統、最有效的休息方法 ,也是科學養生的重要內容, 黃帝內經就提到長壽必須 「起居有常 , 飲食有節 , 不妄勞作」。但現代人晚睡晚起, 造成身體問題層出不窮, 台灣至少有兩成人長期失眠, 嚴重影響生活品質,下文介紹如何掌握正確的 睡眠方法。
一、要佈置好的睡眠環境 :
1. 不要住得太高 因為你可能會吸收不到地球的磁能, 而吸收過多的太陽能量，因而使體質漸趨熱性，容易心情躁動 ; 住太高還會因為 「經常性微幅擺動」 而使神經系統失調加失眠。
* 如果你現在住的是高樓，請種一些盆栽並加窗簾來改善 植物在家中是最合乎自然的生物，也是最適合調節氣場 , 化解沖煞之氣，還可以調整室溫、活化氣流方向。盆栽請選擇生命力強的闊葉樹，但注意臥室不要放太多 ,因綠色植物夜間吸 O2 並釋放 CO2。
2. 臥室內不宜擺飾過多的物品 因為會阻塞氣場，讓人的抵抗力變差！
3. 電器產品盡量不要放在臥室 ,如果有的話 ,睡覺時請把插頭拔下 原因是有電的物質都會釋放電磁波 ,大量的電磁波會傷害細胞內的 DNA染色體而引發各種疾病。
* 家裡電器太多時，請盡量靠牆放，因牆壁可以轉移電磁場 ; 注意不要讓電器出現在出入動線和生活起居常經過的地方！
4. 臥室內應避免尖銳物的產生 因為這些東西會產生類似金字塔中的「尖端效應」 ，會放射不穩定的能量，傷害你的神經系統和內分泌系統，而且氣場的活動將受到阻撓。
5. 臥室宜選擇較昏暗的黃色光線 它比白色的日光燈，更容易營造好的睡眠環境。
6. 臥室要保持通風良好 ,以不使用冷氣為佳 因冷氣房不但極易生長各種細菌、黴菌 ,更重要的是經冷氣機處理後的空氣嚴重缺乏負離子 ,如要吹冷氣 ,請在床鋪周圍大量擺放備長炭 ,不但可以鎮定情緒、解除壓力、幫助進入深沉睡眠 ,更可提供大量的負離子。 * 備長炭在有機店可以買到 ,1斤大約 NTD200
7. 床鋪周圍不要擺設任何銅鐵之物 因銅鐵會吸取人體的血,長期下來 ,會讓人貧血。
8. 請選擇彈性適中的枕頭和床墊 寢具盡量選用天然材質 ,如木床, 棉被, 竹席, 茶葉枕等,睡衣也要以棉麻等天然材質為主。
9. 睡覺時 ,頭部不宜朝北方 ,因北部太寒 ;另外頭部也不宜靠近門窗 ,主要是 怕頭部吹到冷風 ,尤其是 "一線風 "( 門窗縫隙吹進來的一絲絲風, 很傷身體)。
二、 掌握正確睡眠的要領 :
1. 人體的運作要符合大自然的規律 睡眠的黃金時段：晚間 10時上床睡 6小時抵過從凌晨 3 時睡到正午的效果 ,因為晚上11 點到凌晨3 點是整個身體自然修補的時間 ;人在這 4 個小時能充分睡眠 ,可以徹底得到休息 .如果到晚上1 點還不睡, 這時人體的代謝作用是用內分泌直接燃燒 ,內分泌燃燒產生的毒素非常多 ,會使體質變酸 ,人會特別容易疲勞。
2. 養成定時睡眠的習慣 人體本身有生物鐘, 定時睡覺很容易入睡。
3. 正確的睡姿是右側吉祥臥 ,身體最放鬆 ,睡眠效果最好 俯睡使脊柱彎曲 ,增加肌肉及韌帶的壓力，而仰臥身體繃緊，無法讓身體真正放鬆。
4. 晚餐時間不宜太遲 , 最好能在睡前3 ~ 4 小時前吃, 晚餐也不宜吃得太飽, 七分飽即可。三餐 盡量選擇安神的食物, 晚餐則要少吃涼性食物,另外晚上不要喝茶、咖啡等刺激性飲料。
* 謹記 「早上不飲酒 , 晚上不喝茶」 的原則
5. 每天做適量的運動 可以有效的提升睡眠品質 , 提升人體免疫力 ,並可改善骨質疏鬆, 預防各種慢性病。
* 運動最好能在戶外進行 如登山, 競走,騎腳踏車 ,打球等 , 平時也可以用爬樓梯代替乘電梯 ,走路代替坐車等方式來運動。
* 絕對禁止在冷氣房運動 , 那樣只會讓身體越來越糟 !
6.學習樂天知足的人生觀 世事豈能盡如人意 , 凡事往好的一面想 ,人生的低潮往往是高潮的開始, 失敗中常常蘊藏成功的契機。人要學會知足常樂, 肚量越大, 福報越大。不計較,不比較 ,好睡覺。
* 謹記睡前不要高聲談笑 , 也不要做過激運動,以免情緒過亢 ,難以入眠。
如果還是睡不好, 建議再採用:
1. 芳香嗅覺法
針對來自於工作或生活壓力過大的睡眠失調情形，可利用自然的芳香療法，透過薰衣草、洋甘菊、佛手柑或香草等香氛味道，幫助穩定緊張、慌亂的情緒，加強身心放鬆的速度，以達到助眠的效果。 * 精油不要用點燃式的 ,以免發生意外。
2. 觸覺溫熱法
睡前，可利用沐浴泡澡的方式，藉由溫熱的水溫，增進身心舒緩的效果，滴入芳香精油或海鹽於浴池中，可達事半功倍的效果。
* 無法泡澡時, 可改用熱水泡腳 , 也有相同效果
三、最後請大家注意一些小細節 :
1. 不要戴「手錶」 睡覺
2. 不要戴「假牙」 睡覺
3. 不要戴「胸罩」 睡覺
4. 不要帶「手機」 睡覺
5. 不要帶「妝」 睡覺
* 起床後不要立即疊被 , 人體本身也是一個污染源, 起床後, 請把被子掀開, 讓身體一晚上排出的廢氣盡量散出來。

Seeing Differently
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign & the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story:
Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Two Large Pots
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.'
The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'
'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.'
'For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
So, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

Woman's Worth
In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question, "What kind of man are you looking for?"
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."
She began to explain....."As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.
She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."
He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.
She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man."
"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster."
"I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden."
"I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded."
"I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy."
"God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."
When she finished she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "You're asking a lot."
She replied, "I'm worth a lot."
- My sister sent me this wonderful article. It's so true that women nowadays do not need a man to provide them food and money. They are capable enough to live independently. A man would be a companion to her that has to be compatible and responsible at the same time.
In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question, "What kind of man are you looking for?"
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."
She began to explain....."As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.
She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."
He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.
She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man."
"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster."
"I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden."
"I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded."
"I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy."
"God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."
When she finished she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "You're asking a lot."
She replied, "I'm worth a lot."

排便 TIPS
俗语说 “十男九痔，十女十痔”，此话虽有些夸张，但足以说明痔疮的发病率是很高的。现代人大部分均有排便不定时或便不干净之恶习，此中医常说排便养颜，保有良好的排便习惯与摄取足够的纤维，不但可以减少痔疮发生的机率，更可避免引发大肠/直肠癌的危机。如厕时多看一眼可以健康多活好几年。
防 “痔” 之法
1. 注意饮食起居，避免便秘。
2. 大便已排出后便意未尽，不可久坐。
3. 当你便秘时，应多吃蔬菜水果，必要时服用些软便药以助排便。
4. 注意上厕所的习惯。
5. 平时大便时必须不立即用力，让肠自然蠕动。
6. 便后应立即以水冲洗肛门。
7. 体内新陈代谢正常者，一段时间就可自然痊愈。
8. 若不见痊愈时，即需寻医治疗。

Some interesting stuff here!
Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.
Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass from the fibers catch ones you can't see!
Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly. Cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done. Easy clean up.
Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar/calories per serving.
Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers: put layers around the plants overlapping as you go. Cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
Reopening Envelopes
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.
BIKE I.D.
If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike.
Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and - voila! - static is gone.
No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When you're ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin.
Easier Thank You's
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and have everyone put their address on one. When the bride/new mom sends the thank you's, they're all addressed!
Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...
Good-bye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass. Fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid. Mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home," and can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have to worry about pets or small children being harmed !
