kanye you jackass! lol. One truck driver was doing his usual delivery to IMH (Institute of mental health). He discovered a flat tire when he was about to go home. He jacked up the truck and took the flat tire down. When he was about to fix the spare tire, he accidentally dropped all the bolts into the drain.. As he can’t fish the bolts out, he started to panic. One patient happened to walk past and asked the driver what happened. The driver thought to himself, since there’s nothing much he can do; he told the patient the whole incident. The patient laughed at him & said “You can’t even fix such a simple problem. no wonder you are destined to be a truck driver.” “Here’s what you can do, take one bolt each from the other 3 tires and fix it onto this tire. Then drive to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones, easy as that.” The driver was very impressed and asked “You’re so smart but why are you here at the IMH?” Patient replied: “Hello, I stay here because I’m crazy not STUPID!” When we meet the right person to love, at the right place, at the right time⦠That’s chance. When you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s not a choice… That’s chance. Being caught up in a moment (and there are a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice, that’s also chance. The difference is what happens afterwards. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That’s when all sanity goes back; you sit down and then contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If you decide to love the person, even with his faults, that’s not chance… That’s choice. When you choose to be with a person no matter what, that’s choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that’s choice. Infatuation, crushes, attractions come to us by chance. But true loves that last are choices made. Regarding soul mates, there’s a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this– “Fate brings you together, but it’s still up to you to make it happen.” I do believe that soul mates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it’s still up to you to make the choice if you’re going to do something about it or not. We may meet people by chance, but loving and staying with them is still a choice we have to make. ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO. Marry someone you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR. When you say, ‘I love you,’ mean it. FIVE. When you say, ‘I’m sorry,’ look the person in the eye. SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dream. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much. NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely. TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives. TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly. THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, ‘Why do you want to know?’ FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. FIFTEEN. Say ‘bless you’ when you hear someone sneeze. SIXTEEN. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson ! SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions. EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship… NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. TWENTY ONE. Spend some time alone. In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, “Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?” “Wait a moment,” Socrates replied. “Before you tell me I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Test of Three.” “Test of Three?” “That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my student let’s take a moment to test what you’re going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about It.” “All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?” “No, on the contrary…” “So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him even though you’re not certain it’s true?” The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued. “You may still pass though, b ecause there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?” “No, not really.” “Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?” The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why he never found out that his wife was regularly having Sex with his student Plato.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. |
