The power of a smile,

The wiser you get, the younger you appear.  

Here are some words of advice, thanks to Colleen for this

It is all in the interpretation:

I have had enough!!!! So sick of it, I'll never help anyone again…EVER!! Either I'm too kind-hearted, or I'm too stupid ... Whatever! 

Yesterday it was so cold, and my heart ran away with me once again.... I took a man into my home out of pity .... and out of the kindness of my heart. I felt so sorry for him, he was trembling with cold, poor thing out in the snow.

But this morning, he had just vanished without a word, not even a goodbye or a thank you or a kiss my butt for sheltering him.

And the last straw was when I realised he had peed all over the living room floor............. that's the "thank you" I get for being good to people, so let me warn my friends, watch out for this man. 

He is very pale, heavy set, wearing nothing but a scarf, he has a nose that looks like a carrot, and two black eyes that shine like coal. His arms are so skinny they look like sticks!!! Don't bring him in to your house, what a huge mess he made on my carpeted floor.

Dreams

This is the time of renewal, fall is fading and winter is drawing near. We will soon be in the darkness of winter when dreamers dream of renewal and lovers dream of love and poets and writers dream--just dream. 

While dreams are like that, most of the time we don't even know how close we are, until after they've come true. 

Sometimes, even, the very day before they come true, it still feels like they're a million miles away. 

Something to remember, as winter drifts closer

Remember the joy of your youth

Remember the joy you used to feel when you'd find a quarter in the street? 

And how exciting it was when you got older and found a crumpled $20 bill in the pocket of a pair of jeans you hadn't worn in months? 

Well, brace yourself, because the day isn't far off when in-between taking naps, playing in the snow, or swimming laps, or doing the routine happy dance, you'll be busy gathering documents for your tax return preparer and suddenly find a statement to a bank account you don't even remember opening, with more than enough money in it to do whatever your heart now longs to do, probably twice. 

And if you don't find this extra money or wealth, just remember this is the season of the unexpected so when you find something unexpected such as a  snow freshly falling, filling the trees with white wonder, then rejoice in the joy of the season.

Math is important, it can give us clarity

This is a strictly mathematical view point... and it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?  (Thanks to Derwyn for these thoughts)

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%?

What makes u 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is

represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K is equal to 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E is equal to 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But , A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E is equal to  1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

While, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-Tis equal to 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there.

Its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top . Now you know why politicians are where they are!

I’ve never seen a better explanation than this form

How true it is.
