This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, 'Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck.' Then he asked, 'but when are my fingers going to grow back?' The father went home & committed suicide.
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Speed Reading
The Technique to Increase Reading Speed And Understanding of Text
Speed Reading is a method of improving a reader's reading ability, improving both the speed at which a text can be assimilated, and the level of understanding of the material.
Today we are in the world of information explosion and information overload. There are so much information for both adults and children to read.
Often we hear adults and students complain that they do not enough time to finish reading what they need to read in their work or preparation for their test and examination
Reading is one of the most essential skills to help us acquire knowledge. Hence it is important and necessary for everyone, including our children to acquire the ability to read.
We need to be able to scan and filter information and facts that are useful from those that are unimportant or useless. And we must do it in the most effective way and within the shortest possible time.
Speed Reading helps your children to read and understand text more quickly. It is an essential skill in any environment where you have to master large volumes of information quickly, especially in today information society.
The Key Insight To Speed Read
The most important trick about speed reading is to know what information you want from a document before you start reading it.
If you only want an outline of the issue that the document discusses, then you can skim the document very quickly and extract only the essential facts. However, if you need to understand the real detail of the document, then you need to read it slowly enough to fully understand it.
You will get the greatest time savings from speed reading by learning to skim excessively detailed documents.
How A Skilled Reader Read
A fluent speed reader read many words in each block. He will only stay on each block for an instant, and will then move on. Only rarely will the reader's eyes skip back to a previous block of words. This reduces the amount of work that the reader's eyes have to do. It also increases the volume of information that can be examined in a given time.
How A Poor Reader Read
A poor reader often get held up by spending a lot of time reading small blocks of words. He also skip back often, losing the flow and structure of the text and overall understanding of the subject. This irregular eye movement will make reading tiring. Poor readers tend to dislike reading, and may find it harder to concentrate and understand written information.
By speed reading you can read information more quickly. You may also get a better understanding of it as you will hold more of it in short term memory.
To improve the speed of your reading, read more words in each block and reduce the length of time spent reading each block. Use a pointer to smooth the way your eyes move and reduce skip-back.

PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, 'Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? 'Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, 'The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?' Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, 'How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman.'
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, 'Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you.' Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a nar row bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

MUST READ
Be careful how you LIST the Names in Your HP
Be careful how you list names on your cell phone! Be Safe!
This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen.
Her handbag which contained her mobile phone, Credit card, purse...etc. ... was stolen.
20 minutes later when she called her Hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened.
Hubby says 'I've just received your sms text asking about our Pin number. I replied a little while ago.'
They rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.
The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.
Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.
The lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Sayang...... Dad, Mum etc.......
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere,be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them.
If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.
PASS IT ON to people you love!!!!!!!! !
