Time
A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
Daddy, may I ask you a question?
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
Daddy, how much money doyou make an hour?"
"That's none of your business.What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"pleaded the little boy.
If you must know, I make ?20.00 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said,
"Daddy,may I borrow ?10.00 please?"
The father was furious. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don'thave time for such childish games."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that ?10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep son?" he asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you.
Here's that ?10.00 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy" he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money,started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.
"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have ?20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"
Daddy, may I ask you a question?
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
Daddy, how much money doyou make an hour?"
"That's none of your business.What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"pleaded the little boy.

Silence
Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you just ran out of
words and you go... s i l e n t ???
Let me assist you in recalling...
the moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the
train has just started... and you are standing on the door of the
wagon.. waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating fast...
... the moment after the HR manager has just called you and told
you,"You are through! Congrats!"
... the moment when you sit alone in your room after having told
everyone that you cleared that exam you prepared for 6 months!!
You can go on remembering your "special" moments!
I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at those
moments.. as if it was "understood"... happiness, joy, pain.. all
feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the 'years' that passed in those
flash moments!
They say.. the best way to communicate is through "silence".
Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations. Support.
Non-cooperation...
Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a song??
When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music, before he goes
on in his husky voice...
... Please forgive me. I cant stop loving you!
Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that
you reach for your bed after dinner.. but find yourself wide awake
looking at the roof of your room silently...
But you sure are 'thinking'... those moments of self-talk are the
most important in our lives. Those moments when we listen to our own
hearts! Those promises... those decisions... those are the moments
when we make our destinies!
Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what your heart is
saying.. listen to its joy...listen to its pain.. listen to its
fears.. listen to its desires..
Dont make it shut up and go off to sleep...
LISTEN TO THAT VOICE and ACCEPT EVERYTHING IT SAYS!
That voice alone can lead you to the abode of peace that your sleep lacks...
peace that awaits you!
Be in touch with your true self... be silent once a day, every day
words and you go... s i l e n t ???

DO YOU KNOW LOVE ?
A girl and a boy were on a motorcycle, speeding through the night.
They loved each other a lot..
Girl:" slow down a little.. I'm scared.."
Boy: "No, it's so fun.."
Girl: "please..it's so scary.."
Boy: "Then say that you love me.."
Girl: "Fine..I love you..can you slow down now?"
Boy: "Give me a big hug.."
The girl gave him a big hug.
Girl: "Now can you slow down?"
Boy: "Can you take off my helmet and put it on? It's uncomfortable and
it's bothering me while i drive."
The next day, there was a story in the newspaper. A motorcycle had
crashed into a building because its brakes were broken. There were two people
on the motorcycle, of which one died, and the other had survived...
The guy knew that the brakes were broken.He didn't want to let the girl
know, because he knew that the girl would have gotten scared.
Instead, he was told the last time that she loved him,got a hug from
her, put his helmet on her so that she can live, and die himself...
Once in awhile, Right in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us
a fairy tale...Share The Meaning Of Love With Your Friends...

FRIENDS
Friends are many ....
but true ones are very rare.
Of all the people...
we meet in our life.
Only a very few .....
makes a lasting impression.
