nice story- u r wonderful


You are wonderful


The following true story captured our heart..


It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house. A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales were booming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold. The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic support.


I am afraid that due to illness, the man whom you've all come to hear will not be performing tonight. However, we have found a suitable substitute we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment."


The crowd groaned in disappointment and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-in's name. The environment turned from excitement to frustration.



The stand-in performer gave the performance everything he had. When he had finished, there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence.


No one applauded.


Suddenly, from the balcony, a little boy stood up and shouted, "Daddy, I think you are wonderful!"

The crowd broke into thunderous applause.


We all need people in our Lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say, "I think you are wonderful.

tactful speech

*A representative from Israel began: *

*"Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. *

*When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought,*

* 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!' He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.

When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.

**A Palestinian had stolen them."

The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted,*

*"What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren't there then." The Israeli representative smiled and said *

*"And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.

Nice thinking isnt, i got this article from an email forwarded by Prof. Chandrasekar. Thanks.
