As Grandmother used to say
Flowers are more fragrant before rain -----
“You're emitting positive energy when you:-
See the positive qualities in other people. Positive energy values other positive
qualities.
Feel compassion towards yourself and the world (we're all doing the best we can!)
Listen to – and try to understand – other perspectives, regardless of how different.
Positive energy is open minded.
Give the benefit of the doubt. Positive people don't judge quickly.
You're not emitting positive energy when you:
Ignore your dark side and weaknesses (and then act them out). Negative energy isn't
honest.
Focus on other people's mistakes and weaknesses. Negative energy is critical.
Allow fear and cynicism to harden your heart and colour your perspective. Negative
energy revolves around fear and bitterness.
- How Positive Energy Can Change Your Life,
"Our attitudes (and consequently our words and actions) are formed not by what the
other person said or did, but rather by our interpretation of what the other person
said or did. Therefore, whenever possible, to find or devise a favourable
interpretation.
"In practice it looks like this:
Instead of faulting a friend for not calling you back when she said she would, you could
think: "She may have tried to call me back, but my line was busy," or "She may have
received an important call just when she was about to dial my number.
Instead of faulting your spouse for being late (again!), you could think: "I'm not
time-challenged like s/he is, but how much have I really changed my own ingrained bad
habits?
Instead of faulting a repairman for not coming when he said he would (leaving you sitting
at home all afternoon waiting), you could think: "His previous client may have had a more
complicated job than expected," or "When he went to phone me that he'd be late, he
couldn't find my number or his cellphone battery was low.
"Judging others favourably does not preclude self-protective actions or positive steps
to redress wrongs. Judging others favourably doesn't mean to leave your £300 iPod
on your desk when you go to the rest room. It does mean that if you don't find your
iPod where you're sure you left it, check every drawer and pocket before you start
suspecting your fellow workers. Often we are sure -- and wrong!
"Judging others favourably does not mean that when your child comes home in tears
because her teacher yelled at and insulted her, you should refrain from taking measures
to handle the situation. It does mean that before angrily calling the principal and
demanding that the teacher be fired, you entertain the possibility that you haven't heard
the full story and that, even if the teacher did act wrongly, extenuating circumstances
may have caused a usually fair teacher to act out of character ." - Other People's

Women Power
-----------
At an international women's conference the topic for discussion was how to
Empower women in the home.
The first speaker was the British representative. She stood up and said; "I
Decided to make a stand against my husband's oppression and so I told him
That I would no longer be doing the washing, After the first day I saw no
Result; after the second day I saw nothing; but after the third day he did
His own washing."
The delegates applauded this brave stand for women's rights.
The second speaker was from America. She stood up and said; "I told my
Husband that I was no longer prepared to cook for him as it was a form of
Enslavement. After the first day I saw no result, after the second day I
Saw no result; but after the third day he cooked a meal for the both of
Us."
Again the conference applauded.
Next came the Australian delegate. She said; "I told my husband that I
Would no longer be doing the shopping. After the first day I saw nothing,
After the second day I saw nothing; but after the third day I could see a
Little bit out of my left eye."
Cookies
-------
I was giving my kids a few cookies, and as usual, my 7 year-old daughter
Scoffed hers really fast. My 9 year-old daughter is slow and still had a
Couple left. My 4 year-old son was eating his in another room.
"Can I have some more?" asked the 7-year-old.
"Nope," I said. "You should slow down and enjoy them."
"I do enjoy them," she said. "That's why I eat them so fast."
I smiled and patted her on the head. She always surprises me with her
Ability to express herself.
"I wish I was her," she said pointing to my other daughter... "well, I
Don't really want to be her. I just want her cookies."
I gave a hearty laugh and turned to their mother. "I just know she's going
To be a politician."

The Wongs
Su Wong marries Lee Wong.
The next year, the Wongs have a new baby.
The nurse brings out a lovely, healthy, bouncy, but definitely a Caucasian,
WHITE baby boy.
'Congratulations,' says the nurse to the new parents.
'Well Mr. Wong, what will you and Mrs. Wong name the baby?'
The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says,
'Well, two Wong's don't make a white, so I think we will name him...
Are you ready for this?
Sum Ting Wong

A man boarded an aircraft at London 's Heathrow Airport for New
York , and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a
Very beautiful woman boarding the plane.
He realised she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo - she
took the seat right beside him.
"Hello", he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?"
She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I'm going to
The annual nymphomaniac convention in the United States ."
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had
Ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting
For Nymphomaniacs!
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your
Business role at this convention?"
"Lecturer," she responded."I use my experience to debunk some of
the popular myths about
Sexuality.."
"Really", he smiled, "what myths are those?"
"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American
Men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American
Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is
That French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of
Greek descent. We have also found that the best potential lovers in all
Categories are the Irish."
Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I really shouldn't be discussing this
With you, I don't even know your name!"
"Tonto," the man said. "Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me
Paddy."
--------------------
Mild sexual content -
Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle
the stain in permanent pen, so that when you remove the garment from the
washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that
it has gone.
Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand next to the
object you wish to view.
Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at a chocolate
Bar in the cupboard or fridge by not buying the thing in the first place .
Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your home by
Filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles of bleach, then
Urinating into it, before jumping in.
Don't buy expensive 'ribbed' condoms, just buy an ordinary one and slip
a handful of frozen peas inside it before you put it on.
Anorexics. When your knees become fatter than your legs, start eating cakes again.
An empty aluminium cigar tube filled with angry wasps makes an inexpensive vibrator.
Olympic athletes. Disguise the fact that you've taken steroids by running a bit slower.
Smokers. Save on matches and lighters, by simply lighting your next fag
From the butt of your last one.
Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or
Veal. Since they're always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc
'tastes exactly like the real thing', they won't know the difference.
Invited by vegetarians for dinner? Point out that since you'd no doubt be
Made aware of their special dietary requirements, tell them about yours,
And ask for a nice steak.
High blood pressure sufferers. Simply cut yourself and bleed for a while,
Thus reducing the pressure in your veins.
Heavy smokers. Don't throw away those filters from the end of your
Cigarettes. Save them up and within a few years you'll have enough to
Insulate your roof.
Corsa drivers. Attach a lighted sparkler to the roof of your car before
Starting a long journey. You drive the things like dodgems anyway, so it
May as well look like one.
A mouse trap placed on top on of your alarm clock will prevent you from
Rolling over and going back to sleep.
Fool next door into thinking you have more stairs than them by banging
your feet twice on each stair.
At supermarket checkouts a Toblerone box makes a handy 'Next customer
Please' sign for dyslexic shoppers.
Girls. Don't worry about a nice dress for that important first date. All
he's interested in is seeing you starkers.
Putting just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl makes the
Fishes''s eyes bulge and cause them to swim in an amusing manner.
AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers turned to 'fast
Wipe whenever you leave your car parked illegally.
HOUSEWIVES. I find the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid
for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and the other
in your coat pocket.
DON'T INVITE DRUG ADDICTS round for a meal on Boxing Day. They
may find the offer of cold turkey embarrassing or offensive.
