A test for men, that women will enjoy as well

This is a test for men only and all "real men" will answer "C" to all of these questions. However, women will also benefit by reviewing them, so that they get to understand men and thereby enrich their own lives.

1. Alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the Earth, and you are the first human they encounter. As a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire earth. You decide to:

A.  Present it to the President of the United States.
B.  Present it to the Secretary General of the United Nations.
C.  Take it apart to see how it works.

2. As you grow older, what lost quality of your youthful life do you miss the most?

A.  Innocence
B.  Idealism
C.  Cherry bombs.
  
3. When is it okay to kiss another male?

A.  When you wish to display simple and pure affection without   regard for narrow-minded social conventions.
B.  When he is the Pope (but not on the lips)!
C.  When he is your brother and you are Al Pacino and this is the   only really sportsmanlike way to let him know that, for   business reasons, you have to have him killed.
  
4. In your opinion, the ideal pet is:

A.  A cat.
B.  A dog.
C.  A dog that eats cats.

 5. You have been seeing a woman for several years. She's attractive and intelligent, and you always enjoy being with her. One leisurely Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy. You're watching a football game; she's reading the papers when she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, tells you that she thinks she really loves you, but, she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not knowing where your relationship is going. She says she's not asking whether you want to get married; only whether you believe that you have some kind of future together. What do you say?

A.  That you sincerely believe the 2 of you do have a future, but   you don't want to rush it.
B.  That although you also have strong feelings for her, you can't honestly say that you'll be ready anytime soon to make a   lasting commitment, and you don't want to hurt her by holding   out false hope.
C.  That you cannot believe the Cowboys called a draw play on third   and 17.
  
6. Okay, so you have decided that you truly love a woman and you want to spend the rest of your life with her, sharing the joys and the sorrows the world has to offer, come what may. How do you tell her?

A.  You take her to a nice restaurant and tell her after dinner.
B.  You take her for a walk on a moonlit beach, and you say her   name, and when she turns to you, with the sea breeze blowing   through her hair and the stars in her eyes, you tell her.
C.  Tell her what?

 7. One weekday morning your wife wakes up feeling ill and asks you to get your 3 children ready for school. Your first question to her is:

A.  "Do they need to eat or anything?"
B.  "They're in school already?"
C.  "We have 3 of them?"
  
8. When is it okay to throw away a set of veteran underwear?

A.  When it has turned the color of a dead whale and developed new   holes so large that you're not sure which ones were originally   intended for your legs.
B.  When it is down to 8 loosely connected underwear molecules and   has to be handled with tweezers.
C.  It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy   checks the garbage regularly in case somebody, and we are not   naming names, (but this would be his wife) is quietly trying to   discard his underwear.
  
9. What is the human race's single greatest achievement?

A.  Democracy.
B.  Religion.
C.  Remote control.
  
10. What, in your opinion, is the most reasonable explanation for the fact that Moses led the Israelite's all over the place for 40 years before they finally got to the Promised Land?

A.  He was being tested.
B.  He wanted them to really appreciate the Promised Land when they finally got there.

C.      He refused to ask for directions.

A very old joke...

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgery As she lay her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, Cuddles has passed away."

The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," he replied.

"How can you be so sure," she protested. "I mean; you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room, and returned a few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom.

He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it out, and returned a few moments later with a beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."

Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill which he handed to the woman.

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!", she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead?!!"

The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but what with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan

Striving for perfection?

We strive for perfection in almost everything we do, but we do not realize the perfection of every "issue" is beyond most of us. 

As you reflect on your life and as you move forward, understand that the territory behind you and the challenges at hand have been crafted to deliver the wisdom and insights that'll make possible the most joyful time of your life, so far. 

You didn't come as far as you have to face hurdle after hurdle after hurdle and fail. It's not as if by mastering your issues today, more issues will be added tomorrow. That only happens when you deny them today. Master your issues, today, and be free. 

Get through what you must get through, today. Understand what troubles you, today. Do what you can, today. And all the rest will be made easy. 

So little can yield so much. A new perspective, an admission, a surrender to truth - however painful - changes everything.

I love dragonflies,

Every watch a dragonfly? I have and they, in my opinion, should never be able to fly, but they do. So why is it that so often, those who are extremely successful in virtually everything they do are so unable to see that this is the case? 

Yeah, you might not be the right person to ask. Dream big, and capture life as we live out the last decades of our life.
