Being the Best

2011-12-08T20:42:00.002+07:00

We all can't be captains, some have to be crew...
There is something for all of us.

So, if you can't be a highway,
then be a great trail.
If you can't be a sun, be star.

It isn't by size that you win or you fail,
The difference lies in.
Just being the best at whatever you are..

If you don't like something, change it;
if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
~ Mary Engelbreit

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
~ Mahatma Gandhi

In order to accept change and the suffering it brings,
we need to find meaning in it.
~ Mary Norton Gordon

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
~ Lao Tse

To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
~ Helen Keller

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind.
To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse.
To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better.
To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
~ King Whitney Jr.

The universe is change:
our life is what our thoughts make it.

~ Real Live Preacher, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, January 03, 2004

Nothing in the world is permanent,
and we foolish when we ask anything to last,
but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.

Q & A: Love and Marriage

2010-06-13T20:50:00.004+07:00

Q. Can love really last a lifetime?

Absolutely - but only if you chuck the fairy tale of living happily ever after. A team of scientists recently found that romantic love involves chemical changes in the brain that last 12 to 18 months. After that, you and your partner are on your own. Relationships require maintenance. Pay a visit to a nursing home if you want to see proof of lasting love. Recently I spoke to a man whose wife of 60 years was suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease. He came to sit with her every day and hold her hand. "She's been my best friend since high school," he told me, "We made a promise to stick together." Now, that's a love story.

Q. Why do married folks begin to look like one another?

Watch any two people who like each other talking, and you'll see a lot of mirroring. One smiles, and so does the other. One nods or raises her eyebrows, and so does the other. Faces are like melodies with a natural urge to stay in sync. Multiply those movements by several decades of marriage, all those years of simultaneous sagging and drooping, and it's no wonder!

Q. Can marriage survive betrayal?

Yes. It takes time and work, but experts are pretty unanimous on this one. In her book The Monogamy Myth, Peggy Vaughan estimates that 60 percent of husbands and 40 percent of wives will have an affair at some point in their marriages. That's no advertisement for straying - but the news is good for couples hoping to recover from devastating breaches of trust. The offended partner needs to make the choice to forgive - and learn to live with a memory that can't simply be erased. Infidelity is never forgotten, but it can gradually fade into the murky background of a strong, mature marriage.

Why One is 1 and Two is 2?

2010-05-05T19:52:00.004+07:00

The Numbers

The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) called Arabic algorithms, to distinguish them from the Roman algorithms (I, II, III, IV, etc.).

The Arabs popularize these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the phenecian merchants that used them to count and do their commercial countability.

Have you ever asked the question why 1 is "one", 2 is "two", 3 is "three", ... ?

What is the logic that exist in the Arabic algorithms?

Easy, very easy..!
There are angles!

Look at these algorithms written in their primitive form and check it up!

And the most interesting and intelligent of all . . .

Moral of the story:

It is never late to learn!

30-Second Success

2010-03-28T14:02:00.004+07:00

To increase your odds of making a good impression, Ann Demarais offers these tips:

* Make eye contact at least half to two-thirds of the time (any more than this and you may come on too strong). And pay attention to your body language. Lean toward others when they speak. Nod every now and then.

* Smile, even if you aren't in the mood. "We actually encourage our clients to fake it," says Demarais. "It's a gift of social generosity, with a payback." Just going through the motions of showing some teeth may make you -and others- feel better, says the research.

* Be careful about "oversharing," i.e., disclosing too much personal information about yourself. Keep it light. Keep it positive. No one-repeat-no one will be interested in your gallbladder operation.

* Try a little flattery. People warm to others who pay them compliments even if they know they're false, studies show. "But it's best when done sincerely," stresses Demarais.

* Got a prepared opening line as an ice-breaker? Ditch it, or you risk coming across as shallow, aggressive and calculating.

* Check your impulse to use the other person's name repeatedly. Once or twice might work, but overplaying the name game can make you seem "salesy" and forced.

* Think a neutral, inscrutable style makes you appear thoughtful, deep or cool? Forget it. Aloof behavior like kicking back at the table, crossing your arms or showing zero emotion makes you look bored or arrogant.

Heart of Gratitude

2010-02-24T22:05:00.003+07:00

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon, the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."

Both sign told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the story:

Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling. And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!

Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude!

The Best Time to Do Everything

2010-01-03T19:30:00.006+07:00

The fastest service, the best deals and the fewest hassles.

LUCKY PEOPLE CAN BE INFURIATING. They waltz through life and lines; the breaks always go their way. But what if their luck is just good timing? After all, timing is the difference between hours of fighting crowds at the grocery store and breezing in and out; between over-paying for a car and getting a salesman to meet your terms. Even better, good timing adds quality to your life.

"You want to hang out with your family, not wait in line at the Jiffy Lube," says J. Davidson Frame, a professor and author of the corporate efficiency bestseller Managing Projects in Organizations. With better timing, your world will be enriched in ways that go way beyond saving hours and minutes. By following our experts' advice, you'll find shoes that really fit, hire repairmen who actually finish the job on schedule while charging less, and vacation at the best time of year at the best prices. Isn't it about time you got lucky?

Grocery shop between 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday or Wednesday.
That's when the crowds are small and the shelves are newly stocked, says Phil Lempert, consumer food expert of SupermarketGuru.com. Plus, most of the department managers are on duty for questions. An alternative is early in the week or Saturday night around 7:30 to 8 p.m., after you've had dinner (the bonus: hunger won't drive you into making bad food choices).

Buy fish on Friday afternoon.
According to Steve Soboloski, buyer and sales manager for Swedish Fish, an Arlington, Va., wholesaler, "Friday is the busiest delivery day for every fish wholesaler. The deliveries will be out in the stores by the afternoon. "To ensure that the fish you buy is fresh, Soboloski offer a few pointers: "Make sure the gills are bright red and oozing with blood. Meat and skin should be firm and shiny. And the fish shouldn't have a 'fishy' or unpleasant odor.

Make doctor appointments before 9 a.m.
It's true: Doctors overbook. "We schedule four patients between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.," says physician Howard S. Glazer, president of Patients Who Care, a patient-advocacy group. "Three of the four will be here within the first hour, and the plan is that three will be out before 9 a.m." If all four show up, the fourth patients get pushed to the following hour, and the pileup starts to build and then worsens hrough the rest of the day.

Buy shoes in the afternoon.
"You want to wait until you've been walking around for a while and your feet have swelled a bit," says podiatrist Bruce R. Saferin, who serves on the board of the American Podiatric Medical Association. "Buy shoes on your way to work in the morning, and by the afternoon you'll wonder why they're hurting your feet."

Buy a new car at the end of the month.
Auto prices are always somewhat negotiable, but at the end of every month, salesman become downright flexible. "We have monthly quotas that we try to hit," says Fred Altman, a top Dodge salesman (he works out of Christopher's Dodge World in Golden, Colorado). "Sell enough cars in a given month and you get a higher commission percentage the next month and a better work schedule. At the end of the month I'm definitely more aggressive."

Buy a house in September.
For a sheer selection, the best time is when the market is most active-which tends to be from May through July. But you'll say for the privilege. "Prices are highest then," says H. Bernie Jackson, chairman of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers and a broker with BJR Associates in Baltimore. But September is the month when price and selection meet, he says. "You see properties that should have sold but, for some reason, didn't. That's when sellers might be willing to help with closing costs or a down payment."

Hire home repairmen in January.
According to Kermit Baker, director of the remodeling futures program at Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies, you want to do home repairs when contractors are the least busy. That makes them hungry for work and likely to finish quickly. "Seasonally, winter is a good time because work slows down. January is when contractors might be most available and most negotiable-they're not yet busy, and have holidays bills to pay."

Start a road trip at 6 a.m.
That's Ken Smith's advice, and he's co-author of Roadside America. Smith put 250,000 miles on his car's odometer while researching the book. "At that hour your system is alert, there's not much traffic and you can put 200 miles under your belt before breakfast. Then you sit down in a diner and enjoy your pancakes while everyone else is stuck in traffic."

Go to the Caribbean in the fall.
"Late October and early November are when price and weather converge," says Paul Niskanen, owner of Cruise Masters travel agency in Portland, Oregon. "The hurricane season is nearly over, it's getting dry and you still benefit from low fall fares.

Ask for a raise at 9 a.m. or 1 p.m. midweek.
And when you deserve it, says Stephen M. Pollan, lawyer, financial consultant, and author of Second Acts, a book about achieving goals. "Don't do it on a Monday. People are busy making up for what they didn't do on Friday. And don't do it on Friday because your supervisor will be only half there. Very early in the morning is a good time. After lunch is good because a body full of food is more docile."
Polland adds, "The way you find out if you are entitled to a raise is by speaking with other employers and peers in your industry. Then go back to your boss, express gratitude for the professional growth afforded you and show what the market pays for people like you. Thn ask him to reconsider your compensation. It's unassailable."

Reflection

2009-12-15T20:06:00.001+07:00

1. Never explain yourself to any one. Because the person who likes you doesn't need it, and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.

2. When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choice: Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.
Choice is yours...

3. Don't make promise when you are in joy. Don't reply when you are sad. Don't take decision when you are angry.
Think twice..., Act wise.

4. When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free.
When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time.
When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come.

5. We make them cry who care for us. We cry for those who never care for us. And we care for those who will never cry for us. This is the truth of life, its strange but true. Once you realize this, its never too late to change.

6. Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Enjoy every moment of life...

Fairy Tale for Managers

2009-02-01T21:48:00.004+07:00

Many years ago in a small Indian village a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village money lender. The Money-lender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So, he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgot the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter.

Bot the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money lender suggested that they let the providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.

If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.
If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.
But, if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the money lender bent over to picked up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were that girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money lender as a cheat.
The girl should pick a pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.

The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers. What would you recommend to the girl to do? Well, here is what she did ...

The girl put her hand into the money bag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. "Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."

Since the remaining pebbles is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

Moral of the story:
Most problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't attempt to think.

Destiny in Life

2009-01-13T20:47:00.007+07:00

Long time ago, there was an Emperor, who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.

Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

* * *

The above story is similar with the journey of our life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.

One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.

Life is definitely not about work!
Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal Time.

You have to decide how you want to balance your life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take life for granted.

Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

So, enjoy everyday as yours???

Perspective on Life

2008-12-14T22:21:00.003+07:00

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their returned from their trip, the father asked his son.
"How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night...
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serves us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

Appreciate every single thing you have!

Mathematics Formula for a Positive Life

2008-12-14T22:01:00.003+07:00

by: Grant Gloria Kesuma

Turn your life from negative into positive!
Why must change the negative into positive? Negative words and negative thinking may take negative effects.

What would it be if you always say negative words? Just think about this: there is someone who always says about negative sides of other people, there is someone who always lies, or there is someone who always says dirty words. Do you like that people? No one wants to make friend with that kind of people.

What would it be if you always think negative? Just think about this: there is someone who always sigh, there is someone who always feels bored, there is someone who always pessimist. Do you feel tired if you always feel like that? Negative thinking will crush your mind. You will get headache if you always think negative, it will damage your health.

Liver Damage

2008-12-14T20:59:00.004+07:00

The main cause of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oil like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done). Food also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3 - 5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule'.

Because:

Evening at 9 - 11 p.m.:
is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a house wife is still in an un-relaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11 p.m. - 1 a.m.:
is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3 a.m.:
is the detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5 a.m.:
detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7 a.m.:
detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9 a.m.:
absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6.30 a.m. for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7.30 a.m. is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 a.m. rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4 a.m. is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

DO TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH...
AND PASS THIS TO ALL WHOM YOU LOVE AND CARE FOR..

Story of a Donkey

2008-12-14T20:27:00.004+07:00

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL:

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up!

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.

You have two choices... smile and close this page, or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson...

Brain Damaging Habits

2008-12-14T18:46:00.007+07:00

No Breakfast

People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This lead to an insufficient supply of nutrients to brain causing brain degeneration.

Overeating

It causes hardening of brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

Smoking

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

High Sugar Consumption

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

Air Pollution

The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

Sleep Deprivation

Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

Head Covered While Sleeping

Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

Working Your Brain During Illness

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

Lacking in Stimulating Thoughts

Thinking is the best way to train our brain. Lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

Talking Rarely

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

Quotes from Mother Teresa

2008-12-14T18:38:00.003+07:00

Do not wait for leaders;
do it alone, person to person.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

The miracle is not that we do this work,
but that we are happy to do it.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked, and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money.
Money is not enough, money can be got,
but they need your hearts to love them.
So, spread your love everywhere you go.

The Statue in a Park

2008-12-14T18:34:00.002+07:00

Did you know?

A statue in a park with a soldier on horse with its 2 feet in the air means the soldier died in combat. If the horse has only 1 foot in the air, the soldier died of injuries from combat. If the horse has all 4 feet on the ground, the soldier died of natural causes.

Mayonnaise Jar and Two Cups of Coffee

2008-12-14T16:45:00.003+07:00

When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the two cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes'.

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty sapce between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided. "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - and if everything else was lost and only the remained, your life would still be full."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car."

"The sand is everything else - the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you."

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled, "I'm glad you asked."

"It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

This Is Life

2008-12-13T20:39:00.005+07:00

God created the donkey and said to him: "You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass, you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered: "I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years."
God granted his wish...

* * *

God created the dog and said to him: "You will guard the house of man. You will be his best friends. You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years. You will be a dog."
The dog answered: "Sir, to live 30 years is too much, give me only 15 years."
God granted his wish...

* * *

God created the monkey and said to him: "You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks. You will be amusing and you will live 20 years."
The monkey answered: "To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years."
God granted his wish...

* * *

Finally, God created a man...
and said to him: "You will be a man, the only rational creature on the face of earth. You will use your intelligence to become master over all animals. You will dominate the world and you will live 20 years."
Man responded: "Sir, I will be a man but to live only 20 years is very little, give me the 30 years that the donkey refused, the 15 years that the dog did not want and the 10 years the monkey refused."
God granted man's wish...

* * *

And since then, man lives 20 years as a man, marries and spends 30 years like a donkey, working and carrying all the burdens on his back. Then when his children are grown, he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him, so that when he is old, he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey, going from house to house, from one son or daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.
