Treasure what you have


Here's another viral email that returns to remind me of not to take things for granted:

To realize
The value of a sister/brother
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one.

To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:

Who has given birth to
A premature baby.

To realize

Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.


To realize
The value of one second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.

Treasure every moment you have.

You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend or family member:

LOSE ONE.

The origin of this letter is unknown,
But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on.

Remember....

Hold on tight to the ones you love!

Do not keep this letter.

Send it to friends & family to whom you wish good
fortune. And don't forget the one who sent it to you!

Speak English to deliver right information

Speak English, Penang CPO tells his men

GEORGE TOWN- Strengthen your communication skills, especially in English, to deliver the right information to the community.
In making this call to policemen, Penang police chief Deputy Commissioner Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob said only 25% of the 5,000-strong policemen in the state could speak English fluently.
This was despite a pressing need to speak the language, in lieu of the many foreigners and various races in the state, he said.
"About 60% have average English language skills while the rest just know basic English," Ayub told reporters after launching the Special Training English Communication for Tourist Police here.
He said communication failure among policemen would inadvertently lead to misunderstanding among the public.
"The community expects us (police) to solve their problems. We should have the capability to do that, and it comes from good communication skills," he reasoned.

ALWAYS ASK, NEVER ASSUME !!



His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight.

He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.

Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger.

He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'.

The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.

Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.'

'Why?' asked the pilot


'Because I'm a photographer for CNN' , he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.'

The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally h e stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'

What is life

 
We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...


The best kind of friends,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,

And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
 
 
It's true that we don't know
What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives..
 
 
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
 
 
 
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
 
 
 
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seems bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!
 
 
 
May you have
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.
 
 
 
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.
 
 
 
 
The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for
Those who cry,
Those who hurt,
Those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
Who have touched their lives.
 
 
 
When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling
And everyone around you is crying.
 
 
Please send this message
To those people who mean something to you,
To those who have touched your life in one way or another,
To those who make you smile when you really need it,
To those that make you see the brighter side of things When you are really down,
To those who you want to know
That you appreciate their friendship.
 
 
 
And if you don't, don't worry,
Nothing bad will happen to you,
You will just miss out on the opportunity
to brighten someone's life with this message...

Why Do We SHOUT ?

One day, a professor asked his students 'Why do we SHOUT instead of speak when we are ANGRY?'


All the students thought for a while. One answered 'Because we lost our cool. That's why we SHOUT.'
 

 
Asked the professor again, 'But the person is just right next to you, why can't we talk softly but have to SHOUT?'


Everyone gave their opinions but none was accepted by the professor.



Lastly explained by the professor 'When we are ANGRY, our hearts drift apart. To mask the DISTANCE we felt, we instinctively SHOUT instead of speak so the other party can hear us.'


'But as we SHOUT, we get ANGRIER. And we felt we drift apart further. So we SHOUT even louder...'


'It is the opposite when we are in love. Not only we do not shout, we whisper into each other ears. Why?



'This is because our hearts are very close, almost never apart. As our love deepens, we reach a state of communication where there is no need for words.'





'We understand each other well enough just by exchanging look,' concluded the professor.




'Therefore, when we are arguing, DO NOT speak words that will make our hearts drift apart. WAIT a few days.
When you feel your hearts are no longer far apart, pick up the conversation and continue from there.'
