I Wish I could Use Computers in Real Life...


1) 5 minutes ago you were traveling to office at 80 mph in your brand new
car. Now you are traveling to hospital at double the speed in an ambulance.
You wish there was 'UNDO' in life!

2) You are already late, and your key is missing, You wish there was 'FIND
TOOL' in life!

3) You are a bankrupt, after investing in some weird business, You wish
there was 'REBUILD ALL' in life!

4) The train is so crowded that you cannot get anywhere near that nice girl
at the other end, You wish there was 'ZOOM AND VIEW FULL SCREEN' in life!

5) One day you realize that you are turning bald, You wish there was 'CUT &
PASTE' in life.. And the best one is .............

6) After marriage you realize that there is bound to be a mismatch, You wish
there was an 'EVALUATION PERIOD' or at least a 'SAMPLE DOWNLOAD' or a 'DEMO
VERSION'!

The Most Important Body Part


My mother used to ask me what is the most
important part of the body.
Through the years I would take a guess
at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was
very important to us as humans, so
I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said
"No-Many people are deaf. But you
keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

Several years passed before she
asked me again. Since making my first
attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer.
So this time I told her,
"Mommy, sight is very important
to everybody, so it must be our eyes."
She looked at me and told me,
"You are learning fast, but the answer is
not correct because there are
many people who are blind."

Stumped again, I continued my quest
for knowledge and over the years,
Mother asked me a couple more times
and always her answer was, "No. But
you are getting smarter every year, my young child."

Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt.
Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that
especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry.
My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to
say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me,
"Do you know the most
important body part yet, my son?"

I was shocked when she asked
me this now. I always thought this was a
game between her and me.
She saw the confusion on my face and told me,
"This question is very important.
It shows that you have really lived in
your life. For every body part you gave
me in the past, I have told you
was wrong and I have given you an
example why. But today is the day you
need to learn this important lesson."
She looked down at me as only a
mother can. I saw her eyes well up with
tears. She said, "Son, the most
important body part is your shoulder."

I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold
the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry.
Everybody needs a shoulder to cry
on sometime in life, my son. I only
hope that you have enough love
and friends that you will always have a
shoulder to cry on when you need it."

Then and there I knew the most
important body part is not a selfish
one-it is sympathetic to the pain of OTHERS.

You are my friend and whenever
you want, you may cry on my shoulder.

The Next Bus


You know, love is just like someone waiting for a bus.
When the bus comes, you look at it and you say to yourself
"eeee...so full...cannot sit down, I'll wait for the next one."

So you let that bus go and wait for the second bus. Then the
second bus comes, you look at it and you say, "eeee...this bus
is so old...so shabby!" So you let that bus go and again,
decide to wait for the next bus.

After a while another bus comes, it's not crowded, not old but
you say, "eeee... not air-conditioned ...better wait for the
next one."

So again you let the bus go and decide to wait for the next bus.
Then the sky starts to get dark as it is getting late.
You panic and jump immediately inside the next bus. It is not
until much later that you found out that you had boarded the
wrong bus!

So you wasted your time and money waiting for what you wanted!
Even if an air-conditioned bus comes, you can't ensure that the
air-conditioned bus won't break down or whether or not the
airconditioner will be too cold for you.

So people... wanting to get what you want is not wrong. But it
wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance, right? If you find
that the "bus" doesn't suit you, just press the red button and
get off the bus (as simple as that).

Hey who said life is fair??? The best thing to do is be
observant and open while you scrutinize the bus. If it doesn't
suit you, get off. But you must always have an extra something
which you could use for the next bus that comes.

But wait... I'm sure you've had this experience before.
You saw a bus coming (the bus you want, of course), you flagged
it but the driver acted as if he did not see you and zoomed past
you! It just wasn't meant for you!

The bottom line is, being loved is like waiting for a bus you
want. Getting on the bus and appreciating the bus by giving it
a chance depends totally on you. If you haven't made a choice,
WALK! Walking is like being out of love. The good side of it is
you can still choose any bus you want... the rest who couldn't
afford another ride would just have to be content with the bus
they rode on.

One more thing.... sometimes it's better to choose a bus you are
already familiar with rather than gamble with a bus that is
unfamiliar to you. But then again, life wouldn't be complete
without the risks involved.

But there's one bus that I forgot to tell you about - the bus
that you don't have to wait for. It will just stop on its own
and will ask you to come inside and take a free ride for the
rest of your life.
