HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

I received this in my mail today.
Interesting try.....Anyone can get it right??...Let me know.

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this! It is from an orthopaedic surgeon............ This will confuse your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It is pre-programmed in your brain!

1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your right foot will change direction (anti-clockwise).

I told you so! And there's nothing you can do about it!

The Mayonnaise Jar

This is a story I received from a friend.
Would like to share with you all.
Its a good reminder of our everyday life and how we handle things in our lives.

When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
And had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and proceeded to fill it with golf balls..

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar,
effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained,
Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

10 COMMANDMENTS OF COMPLAINING

When to shut up......Complaining may help in many situations, but some problems are best resolved with silence.
For instance....When you have already complained and complained.
If you've already said your piece and rolled your eyes in disagreement, and yet nothing is being done about your complaint, it may be time to shut up.
Or when it it not your place.....If you have a compliant about your collegue's dressing or your boss's attitude, its called gossiping. When it is not your place, refrain from complaining as it is going to do more damage than good. Always complain with the intention of improving the situation.

Here are the 10 Commandments of Complaining.
1. Hold complaints for at least a day before voicing it out.
2. Attack a problem, never a person.
3. Accept the things you cannot change and change the things you can.
4. Limit your complaint to one problem and be specific.
5. Choose your battles. Attack the most important problem first.
6. Complain with the intention of change, not competition.
7. Don't try to change the world, focus on improving your little corner.
8. If you expect your organisation to be perfect, you need to change your expectations.
9. Don't complain all the time, it will be mistaken for whinning.
10.Always compliment in between complaining.

Always keep in mind....People who complain all the time are dislike by others.
So know when to shut up.

WHAT IT MEAN TO BE A CHRISTIAN

This is a sharing of what it mean to be a christian I received in my mail.

Its very true and often asked by other non christians and what this lady expressed explains all though I do not personally know her.

I'm A Christian

by May Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."

I'm whispering "I was lost,

Now I'm found and forgiven.

" When I say... "I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak

And need His strength to carry on..

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far too visible But

God believes I am worth it.

When I say.... "I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain.

I have my share of heartaches

So I call upon His name.

When I say.... "I am a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as reinforcement. But more importantly, share this with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than others" can be dispelled.

TIME SAVING SOLUTIONS

Here are some smart and time-saving solution to make life easier.

1. If you have a moist cake and cannot finish it within a day here is how you can save it and retain its moistness:

Cut the centre portion with 2 parallel cuts and sonsume the centre portion first. Then you simply join the two remaining sides together and hurray!!!. You have a smaller cake which is much more convenient to store in the fridge. This way, the cake will retain its moisture and stay fresh.

2. Here is how to make party invitation fun.
Inflate brightly coloured balloons, then write the invitation onto each balloon with a felt-tip pen. Deflate the balloons and place them into envelopes and mail them out with a note asking guests to "Inflate balloon for the message".

3. You can use tamarind to polish brassware. Just rub a piece of tamarid liberally over a small area and rub till satisfactory shine is achieved. rince with water.

4. Before adding cubes of meat into your casserole, sear them in a hot pan or wok in small quantities, stirring over high heat until well browned all mover first. This should lend casseroles a rich colour and flavour.
