Husband Smart but Wife Smarter

A man called home to his wife and said, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends.

We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting, so could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and fishing box?

We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up"

"Oh! Please pack my new blue silk pajamas." The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy but being the good wife she is, did exactly what her husband asked.

The following weekend he came home, a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomed him home and asked if he caught many fish?

He said, "Yes! Lots of Salmon, some Bluegill, and a few Swordfish. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?"

You'll love the answer...


The wife replied, "I did. They're in your fishing box.....

Father and Son

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.

The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"

The Son replied "It is a crow".

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"

The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, what is this?"

At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff.. "It's a crow, a crow".

A little after, the Father again asked his Son the 4th time, "What is this?"

This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"

A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:-

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".

While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

So... If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word; be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today".

you?"

Moral of the story: Don't tempt a woman, they are far too intelligent!

Importance of having Breakfast

Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death. Advice on not to skip breakfast!

Healthy living
For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now! You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.

Why?
Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6: 00a.m. and noon , with the highest incidence being between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?

We may have an Answer
Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.

However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns, Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke. So never ever skip breakfast

另一个角度看生活。。。

有一个人在森林中漫游的时候, 突然遇见了一只饥饿的老虎, 老虎大吼一声就扑了上来. 他立刻用生平最大的力气和最快的速度逃开, 但是老虎紧追不舍,他一直跑一直跑一直跑, 最后被老虎逼入了断崖边上。站在悬崖边上,他想:"与其被老虎捉到,活活被咬、肢解, 还不如跳入悬崖,说不定还有一线生机."

他纵身跳入悬崖,非常幸运的卡在一棵树上, 那是长在断崖边的梅树,树上结满了梅子. 正在庆幸的时候,他听到断崖深处传来巨大的吼声, 往崖底望去,原来有一只凶猛的狮子正抬头看着他, 狮子的声音使他心颤,但转念一想: "狮子与老虎是相同的猛兽,被甚么吃掉,都是一样的."

当他一放下心, 又听见了一阵声音, 仔细一看,一黑一白的两只老鼠, 正用力地咬着梅树的树干。他先是一阵惊慌, 立刻又放心了, 他想: "被老鼠咬断树干跌死,总比被狮子咬好."

情绪平复下来后,他感到肚子有点饿, 看到梅子长得正好,就采了一些吃起来. 他觉得一辈子从没吃过那么好吃的梅子, 找到一个三角形树丫休息,他想着: "既然迟早都要死,不如在死前好好睡上一觉吧!"

他在树上沉沉的睡去了. 睡醒之后, 他发现黑白老鼠不见了,老虎、狮子也不见了. 他顺着树枝, 小心翼翼的攀上悬崖,终于脱离险境. 原来就在他睡着的时候,饥饿的老虎按捺不住, 终于大吼一声, 跳下悬崖。黑白老鼠听到老虎的吼声, 惊慌逃走了. 跳下悬崖的老虎与崖下的狮子展开激烈的打斗, 双双负伤逃走了。

由我们诞生那一刻开始, 苦难.就像饥饿的老虎一直追赶着我们, 死亡,就像一头凶猛的狮子,一直在悬崖的尽头等待, 白天和黑夜的交替,就像黑白老鼠, 不停地正用力咬着我们暂时栖身的生活之树, 总有一天我们会落入狮子的口中.

既然知道了生命中最坏的情景是死亡,唯一的路, 就是安然地享受树上甜美的果子,然后安心地睡觉, 好好的享受你在世上的每一分每一秒. 如果刚才你和另一半或是和家人为了芝麻绿豆的事闹翻了, 现在头顶还在生烟的话, 请你看看那晴朗的天空和那飘渺的白云,其实你又错过了美好的一天呀 ! 有些朋友虽然不常联络,却偶尔寄个E-mail、也许是一些笑话、温馨小品, 或是小游戏给你,这表示他一直在关心着你,他将你放在心里,也珍惜彼此的友谊。

因此,要时时抱有感恩的心!脚走好路!身行善事,惜缘种福...... 。

金針菇抗癌成功殺死95% 癌細胞

吃金針菇可以殺死癌細胞,根據新加坡大學的最新研究。由於金針菇含有一種多醣體, 可以加強人體免疫系統, 在動物實驗中,這種特殊的蛋白質,可以有效殺死95% 的癌細.

記者:「吃火鍋時,大家都不會忘記加入這個金針菇,而根據新加坡國立大學的最新研究發現,這個金針菇裡面的多醣體,具有抗癌的功效。」

細細長長的金針菇, 30 元就可以買一大盤,這樣的便宜貨竟然具有抗癌功效,為什麼這麼神奇?

陽明藥理研究所教授潘懷宗:「有這個多醣體,吃進去之後,可以促進身體所謂自然殺傷細胞的增生而變 多,因為它變多、變強了以後,就能夠撲殺身體裡面的癌細胞、撲殺身體裡面的病毒,所以可以造成所謂的預防癌症,或者治療癌症這樣的效果。」

用自體細胞殺死腫瘤的免疫療法,是當今醫界最紅的抗癌秘方.

美國最新 研究,先抽血 20C 在體外利用特殊蛋白質,讓自然殺手細胞倍增,成功撲殺血癌細胞。

潘懷宗:「它可以在體外,將人類的自然殺傷細胞,能夠增強到幾萬倍,再利用高度的純化技術,這第二個比較高級的技術,純化出純的自然殺傷細胞,再用點滴靜脈注射的方式,滴回你自己的身體裡面。」

專家說,這種方法,跟吃金針菇是同樣的原理,吃的時候,用火鍋烹調最好,而且煮的時間不要超過三分鐘,煮得太爛,裡面可以殺死癌細胞的多醣體,可能就沒有效了。

選一間鬼屋看你適合什麼工作

你在旅行時不小心在荒山野嶺迷了路,這時天色以晚,你發覺到附近只有一間小屋子, 逼不得已只好向主人借宿。可是屋主老夫婦卻告訴你房子的四間房間都有鬧鬼: 一定要住下來的情況下, 你會選擇哪間房間?

A.有個人頭從窗外惡狠很瞪著你睡覺的房間;
B. 廁所會傳來開關門聲和女人嘆息聲的房間;
C. 你一睡上去床就開始搖晃不讓你睡的房間;
D. 半夜醒來看到一個無頭鬼坐在床邊的房間。


測驗結果

這個測驗主要是看你的工作適性。每個人長大獨立之後,面對生活開銷或是家計 壓力都不得不到外面去工作賺錢。可是當你面對報紙上、網路上密密麻麻、多如牛毛的工作機會,常常會一下子就迷失了,不知道自己的方
向到底在哪裡?究竟自己比較適合從事哪方面的職業?


A. 有個人頭從窗外惡狠很瞪著你睡覺的房間
你比較適合 SOHO一族,或是醫生、律師等職業。這類型的工作多半是擁有自己的專屬空間,有一定的收入來源,而且比較固定不容易被外界所影響者。有人從窗外瞪你也 代表來自於周遭對你的不滿和異樣的眼光;在窗外代表不容易對你造成影響。例如老師的工作,不管你教得再爛,甚至被批評到一文不值,可是並不會讓你因此丟了飯碗。其他 例如公務員的肥缺也都可以歸類於此。

B. 廁所會傳來開關門聲和女人嘆息聲的房間
你比較喜歡的是一份很穩定的工作,尤其是公司的主管(員工 )等比較不需要到外面 拋 頭露面的內勤工作。廁所會傳來開關門聲和女人嘆息聲代表你會受到來自於上級的壓力或是主管的責罵;比較起來,你寧願整天待在辦公室裡吹冷氣也勝過到外面去忍受風吹日曬;其他諸如高科技產業的技師或工程師,企業的網路工程師或是會計等等也都是屬於此類。

C. 你一睡上去床就開始搖晃不讓你睡的房間
你比較適合從事業務的工作。你的個性比較好動,無法整天坐在辦公室甚至悶出病來,你也不喜歡受拘束,所以你的職業也比較傾向於可以常常到外頭走動的工作,像是拉保險、直銷等等。床開始搖晃不讓你睡代表你做
業務時,拜訪客戶常常會發生的拒絕、碰壁。其他像是大老闆的司機或是送收貨員也都可以歸於此類。

D. 半夜醒來看到一個無頭鬼坐在床邊的房間
你適合從事接近群眾的工作。例如電視明星、立委等需要群眾支持的工作都算是。無頭鬼坐在床邊代表這個人和你密不可分,可是你又無法看清他是誰。就像棒球明星會累積一定的球迷,也靠球迷吃飯,可是又無法知道誰是誰一樣。其他像是公司的公關、便利商店的店員或是銀行的服務人員也都可以歸於此類。

四個都不敢睡 .... 偶可能會失業.....

A carrot, an egg and a cup of coffee...

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again........

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see." Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.

Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity..boiling water. Each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"

Think of this: Which am I?

Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.

When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity?

Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

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.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
