Some beautiful answers and way of thinking of Turkish poet Rumi

What Is Poison ? ? ?

He Replied With A Beautiful Answer - AnyThing Which Is More Than Our Necessity Is Poison. It May Be Power, Wealth, Hunger, Ego, Greed, Laziness, Love, Ambition, Hate Or AnyThing.

What Is Fear ? ? ?

Non Acceptance Of Uncertainty.

If We Accept That Uncertainty, It Becomes Adventure.

What Is Envy ?

Non Acceptance Of Good In Others, If We Accept That Good, It Becomes Inspiration.

What Is Anger ? ? ?

Non Acceptance Of Things Which Are Beyond Our Control.

If We Accept, It Becomes Tolerance.

Non Acceptance Of Person As He Is. If We Accept Person Unconditionally, It Becomes Love. 😊

The privilege of Drinking with Friends is that, we can talk nonsense all the time..

A Chinese moves to USA after 50 years of living in Shanghai.

He bought a home on a small piece of land. 

The friendly American neighbor decides to go across and welcome the new guy. 

He goes next door 

but on his way up the drive-way he sees the Chinese man running around his front yard chasing about 10 hens.

Not wanting to interrupt these 'Chinese customs', 

he decides to put the welcome on hold for the day.

Next day he decides to try again, but just as he is about to knock on the front door, he looks through the window and sees the Chinese urinate into a glass and then drink it. 

Not wanting to interrupt another 'Chinese custom', 

he decides to put the welcome on hold for yet another day.

A day later he decides to give it one last go, but on his way next door, he sees the China-man leading a bull down the drive-way .....pause...... and then put his left ear next to the bull's butt.

The American bloke can't handle this, so he goes up to the China-man and says, 'Jeez Mate, what the hell is it with your Chinese customs? I come over to welcome you to the neighborhood and see you running around the yard after hens. 

The next day you are pissing in a glass and drinking it and then today you have your head so close to that bull's butt, it could just about shit on you.'

The China man is very taken back and says, 'Sorry sir, you no understand, these no Chinese customs, I doing, 

these American Customs.'

'What do you mean' says the neighbor, 'Those aren't American customs.'

          _You will love this_

'Yes they are, man at travel agent tell me' replied the China-man. 

'He say to become true American, I must learn to

..... chase chicks,

..... get piss drunk, 

and

..... listen to bull-shit!'

😂

I want this back. It DOES work. So, I am told 😉

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

 There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. 

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.  

'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.' 

'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. 

'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked. 

'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.   

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did. 

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St Mary's Hospital Medical School inLondon, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted

Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. 

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin. 

 The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill ... His son's name?

 Sir Winston Churchill 

Someone once said: 

What goes around comes around. 

Work like you don't need the money. 

Love like you've never been hurt. 

Dance like nobody's watching. 

Sing like nobody's listening. 

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

It's National Friendship Week. Send this to everyone you consider A FRIEND.

Pass this on and brighten some ones day.

 AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH:

I hope it works...

May there always be work for your hands to do;  

May your purse always hold a coin or two; 

May the sun always shine on your windowpane; 

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; 

May the hand of a friend always be near you; 

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. 

And may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead..

Enjoy Pinching......😉

A question asked in a talent test:

If you are married to one of the twin sisters who look identical, how would you recognise your wife?

The award-winning answer was!

"Just pinch either of them. if she screams at you, she is your wife. If she smiles then sister-in-law!"

😀😀😀

Who says we don't exercise? We JUMP to conclusion, we THROW our weight around,we TWIST the truth,we STRETCH lies,we BEND rules, we PUSH  our luck, we LIFT our ego, we RUN from tough situation, we are absolutely FIT ,but still we FAT because, we EAT our word so often ... ☺ 

A couple had 7 children. Someone asked them how different was it to raise the first child from the last child. 

The couple replied, "If the first child as much as even hiccuped, we would call an ambulance. By the time we had the seventh, if a child swallowed a coin, it would be deducted from his pocket money."

😅😅😅🤔🤔😂😂😂

*10 feet behind spouses*

Barbara Walters was doing a story on gender roles in Afghanistan

She noted that women customarily walked 10 feet behind their husbands

Impressed she approached one of the Afghani women and said, "This is marvellous! What a nice gesture of respect to a husband. Is there any specific reason to this custom?"

The lady whispered, "Land Mines"

😂

Put a frog into a vessel fill with water and start heating the water.

As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjust its body temperature accordingly.

The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point the frog decides to jump out.

The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature.

Very soon the frog dies.

What killed the frog?

Think about it!

I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out.

We all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions.

If we allow people to exploit us

physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so.

Let us decide when to jump!

Let's jump while we still have the strength.

My Dear friends

If your spouse gets on your nerves ......

Boil water

Let it boil, boil, boil, and boil.

As the water is still boiling.. wait for your spouse to fall asleep.

When you are very sure that spouse is sleeping.. 

make some tea and drink it.

Tea reduces stress.

For those who expected hot water to be poured on the spouse, you need serious help! 😝😬😂

Silvio, an 80-year-old Italian goes to the doctor for a check-up. 

The doctor is amazed at the shape the guy is in and asks, 'How do you stay in such great physical condition?'

'I'm Italian and I am a Cyclist ....' says Silvio, 'and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out Cycling up and down the highways. I have a glass of vino and all is well.'

'Well....' says the doctor, 'I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your Father when he died?'

'Who said my Father's dead?'

The doctor is amazed. 'You mean you're 80 years old and your Father's still alive. How old is he?'

'He's 102 years old,' says Silvio. 'he Cycled with me this morning,  went to the beach for a walk, had a little vino and that's why he's still alive. 

 Italian ....... Cyclist......

'Well....' the doctor says, 'that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your Father's Father? How old was he when he died?'

'Who said my Nonno's dead?'

Stunned, the doctor asks, 'you mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living? Incredible!! How old is he?'

'He's 123 years old,' says the Old Italian Cyclist.

The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, 'So, I guess he went Cycling with you this morning too?'

'No, Nonno couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today.'

At this point, the doctor is close to losing it. 'Getting married? Why would a 123 year- old guy want to get married?'

'Who said he wanted to get married.... He had to !!!!!!!

......THE GIRL GOT PREGNANT!!'

_Never quit Cycling 🚴‍♀ and Wine_ 🍷😀😀

*Why Do Men Get Naughty At 50?*

Men are like open soda bottles at age 50. Before the fizz runs out they take that last leap.

*Age is a natural born killer.* You realize this in-depth with every passing second. Men sober down when they reach 40. However, as they near 50 they exhibit mischievous teen-like symptoms. Perhaps it's got to do with the fact that the prime of their youth is fading and it's the last plunge to relive the past, and in the process never feel old. At age 50 men love that occasional glance they get from younger women, it's enough to convince them about the flame of youth being alive and kicking. The raging hormones that make a quiet disappearance in a man's life make a loud comeback at 50. Boy! The bull is ready to run again!

It doesn't come as a surprise why women keep a close eye on their men when they reach 50. In a man's mind 50 is a gateway to a new phase in life, something completely new, unexplored, and exciting. For married men and bachelors, life at 50 is a newfound high, a thrill seeking adventure that fizzles out as time goes by. However, until that adventure lasts, a wife/girlfriend can have sleepless nights.

At age 50 men gang up with past friends from school and college. The highest number of reunions a man attends is in his 50s, and yes, that college sweetheart or college crush is around to tell a story. At 50 a man seems to find time for everything, just like in his hey days.

So cheers guys....

This one made a lot of sense to me...

New York is 3 hours ahead of California but it does not mean that California is slow, or that New York is fast. Both are  working based on their own "Time Zone."

Some one is still single. Someone got married and 'waited' 10 years before having a child. There is another who had a baby within a year of marriage.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately !

Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years. 

Everyone works based on their 'Time Zone',

People can have things worked out only according to their pace.

Work in your "time zone".

Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might "seem" to go ahead of you.

May be some might "seem" behind you.

Everyone is in this world running their own race on their own lane in their own time. God has a different plan for everybody.Time is the difference. Obama retires at 55, Trump resumes at 70

Don't envy them or mock them, it's their 'Time Zone.' 

You are in yours!

Hold on, be strong, and stay true to yourself. All things shall work together for your good. 

You're not late … You are not early ... you're very much On time!😊👍stay blessed.

You Are In Your Time Zone...
