Problem...!?!

You must have heard of Applied Arts, Applied Science, Applied Psychology but by any chance have you heard of Applied Common Sense...? Well if you do, this story will entertain you and it will educate you if the answer is otherwise...!

A lady desiring companionship bought a parrot from a local pet store, complete with cage. Before purchasing it she asked for a guarantee that it would talk and was assured that it would. She took the parrot home. Then, a week and a half later, she returned to the store very disappointed. 

"The parrot doesn't talk." 

"Did you buy a mirror?" 

"No." 

"Every parrot needs a mirror." 

So she bought a mirror and installed it in the parrot's cage. Another week and a half went by and she returned again. 

"The parrot still doesn't talk." 

"Did you buy a ladder?" 

"No." 

"Every parrot needs a ladder." 

So she bought a ladder and installed it in the cage. Another week and a half passed and she returned yet again. 

"The parrot still doesn't talk." 

"Did you buy a swing?" 

"No." 

"Every parrot needs a swing." 

So she bought a swing and installed it in the cage. A week and a half later she returned. She was furious! The store owner asked, 

"Did the parrot talk?" 

"No!, he died." 

"Oh, that's terrible. Did he say anything before he died?" 

"Yes." 

"What?" 

"He gasped 'Don't they have any food down at that store?'"

Do you see a problem here or a solution? Well, won't it depend on whose side you are... the lady's, Sellers's or the Parrot's...!?!

Stay tuned and FEED the birds...!

A Father-of-the Bride's Message to Son-in-law

I thought I would start my speech by addressing you as the new family of my daughter. But I think it would be inappropriate because now that she is married, you are the family for her. Believe me; I don’t have a problem with that. I, in fact, want my daughter to have you as her priority now. It’s time for us to take a backseat in her life. We would happily accept it but would surely request one thing- please keep her happy!

I am more than sure that you will keep her very happy. She will perhaps be happier than what she used to be here. But like all fathers, I obsess over my daughter’s happiness which is making me say this over and over again- please keep her happy!

She never was and will never be a burden for me. She is in fact the reason why I breathe and smile. I am getting her married because this is what the law of nature demands. I am helpless in the face of our culture and therefore sending her to your home. She was the happiness of my home and will now light up your home. I am giving my world to you. Please make sure it remains beautiful. I am giving away my princess to you. Please make sure she stays as a queen. I have raised her with my sweat and blood and now she is wonderfully perfect. For all the care, love, beauty and warmth my daughter will bring into your lives, I just want her happiness in return please keep her happy!

If at times you think that my daughter has said or done something wrong, feel free to scold her. But handle her with love. She is very fragile. If at times she feels low, be with her. She just needs a little bit of your attention. If at times she feels sick, show her some care. It’s the medicine that works best for her. If at times she fails to fulfil a responsibility, feel free to chastise her. But empathize with her. She is still learning. Do understand her please keep her happy!

I don’t mind if I don’t get to see her for months. I don’t mind if I am not able to talk to her on a daily basis. I would be more than happy if she doesn’t remember me much. But, my only motive in life has been my daughter’s happiness which is now in your hands. I beg you, please keep her happy.

Dear son-in-law, these words may not mean much to you now but if you are lucky enough to father a daughter someday, you will appreciate them better when you will find every beat of your heart shouting please keep her happy!

Be Cause...!

Your DAD...!

Following is a letter from a renowned Hong Kong TV broadcaster and child psychologist to his daughter. The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or parents! All parents can use this in their teaching to their children...

"Dear Daughter,

I am writing this to you because of three reasons...

A. Life, fortune, and mishaps are unpredictable, no body knows how long he or she lives. 

B. Some words are better said early. 

C. I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will.

What is written is my own personal bitter experience that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches. Remember the following as you go through life...

1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother & I!

To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, every one has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend.

2. No one is indispensable, nothing is in the world that you must possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you any more, or when you loose what/who you love most.

3. Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.

4 . Love is but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one's mood. If your so called loved ones leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over-exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.

5 . A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you Can be successful by not studying hard ! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from rags! 

6 . I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up . After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, weather rich or poor.

7 . You honor your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.

8 . If you want to be rich, you have to WORK HARD ! There is no FREE LUNCH!

9 .No matter how much time I have with you, let us treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life...!

Your DAD!"

The Carpenter...!

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.

Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days work," he said, "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?"

"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor, in fact, it's my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll go him one better. See that pile of lumber curing by the barn? I want you to build me a fence - an 8-foot fence - so I won't need to see his place anymore. Cool him down, anyhow."

The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."

The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped.

There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge... a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work handrails and all - and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched.

"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."

The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.

"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build...!"

And whom do you think I identify with...!?! 

Stay tuned and help me build bridges...!
