Information can tell us everything. It has all the answers. But they are
answers to questions we have not asked, and which doubtless don’t even
arise.
Think over it...

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon
player was dying of AIDS, which he got due to infected blood he received
during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from
his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a
bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over – 50 million
children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, half million
learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand
slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi finals, 2 to the finals. When I was
holding a cup high, I never asked GOD, "Why me?" And today in pain I should
not be asking GOD, "Why me?" |

U.N. Survey
It is very important in
communication that the person to whom you are communicating understands
it clearly. An example for communication failure is a worldwide survey
that was conducted by the United Nations. The only question asked was:
'Would you please give your
honest
opinion about solutions
to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?'
The survey was a huge failure, because;
In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what 'honest' meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant.
In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant.
In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant.
And in the USA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant.
Three Facts
The world leader refused to ever brush his teeth:
Mao Zedong of China. Instead, he rinsed his
mouth with tea and chewed the leaves. Why brush? "Does a tiger brush his
teeth?" argued Mao. Chairman Mao also loved to chain-smoke English
cigarettes, when his doctor asked him to cut down, he explained that
"smoking is also a form of deep-breathing exercise, don't you think?"
The significant about
the times of Mark Twain's birth and death:
His real name was Samuel Langhorne
Clemens, pen name Mark Twain - an American author and humorist was born
on November 30, 1835. He was born when Halley's Comet was visible in the
sky over Florida, Missouri. Mark Twain predicted in 1909 that he would
die when it returned. He was right. When Mark Twain died on April 21,
1910, Halley's Comet was once again visible in the sky.
