Hard work vs Smart work

Jack and Max are attending a religious service.
Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.
Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"
So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I smoke while I pray?"
But the Priest says, "No, my son, you may not. That's utter disrespect to our religion."
Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.
Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."
And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I pray while I smoke?"
To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son, by all means."


Moral: The reply you get depends on the question you ask.
"Success Doesn't Need Hard Work It needs Smart Work"

Forgive and Forget

A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game.

Theteacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bagcontaining a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put inhis/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

Sowhen the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name ofthe people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5potatoes.The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes inthe plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week. Daysafter days passed by, and the children started to complain due to theunpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.

After 1 week, the children wererelieved because the game had finally ended.The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes withyou for 1 week?" The children let out their frustrations and startedcomplaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carrythe heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher toldthem the hidden meaning behind the game.

The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody insideyour heart.The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry itwith you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rottenpotatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have thestench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"

MORAL OF THE STORY:Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will notcarry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best attitude totake. "Learn to Forgive and Forget."

Never Judge other by their appearance

A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and walked timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge.
"We want to see the president," the man said softly.
"He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped.
"We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted.
"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave," she said to him.
He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office.
The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."
The president wasn't touched.... He was shocked.
"Madam," he said, gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, and then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent.
The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now.
The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?"
Her husband nodded.
The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

I had received this illusion by e-mail, worth watching the transformation. The above images from your seat in frontof the computer, Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calmis on the right. Get up from your seat...and move back 12 feet,and PRESTO!!

They switch places!! I believe this illusion was created by PhillippeG.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the Univ. of Glasgow. This proves that we may not be seeing what's actuallythere, all the time!!
