In the Courtroom

In a courtroom, a lawyer called
his first witness who
happens to be an elderly woman
to the stand.

He went to her and asked, "Mam
do you know me?" 

She responded,
"Why, yes I do know u Mr Pollus.
I've known you
since you were
a young boy, and to be frank,
you have been a big disappointment to your parents
and to the society.
You are a liar, you cheat people
including your wife,
and you manipulate people and
talk about them behind their backs. you think you
are a big man
when you don't even have
brains. Yes, I know you!"

The lawyer was stunned! Not
knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room
and asked,
"Mam, do you know the defence
lawyer?"

She replied,
"yes, I do. I have known Mr Gideon since he was a
young boy too. He has been your
very good friend
since childhood because the two
of you have the
same character. He has also been a very lazy man
and he has a drinking problem.
Infact he is a
criminal and he can't even build a
normal
relationship with anyone and his law practice is one
of the worst in the entire state.
Not to mention he
cheated on his wife with 3
different women, one of
them was your wife. Yes, I know him. The defence
lawyer almost fainted.

The Judge called both lawyers to his table
and in a very quiet
voice, said, "If any of you idiots asks her if
she knows me, I'll make sure you loose your license."

Today is a beautiful day


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 recognised 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 signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people how fortunate they were to have their sight. 

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. It's a beautiful thing to see a person smiling. But even more beautiful is knowing that you are the reason for the smile!Faith is not about everything turning out OK. Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out. Never give up hope nor faith! Thank You!

Why Should You Eat Fruits & Vegetables by Monsieur Fred Odeigah

Veggies are an important part of everyone's diet. They contain dozens of important nutrients and have loads of dietary fiber. And just by getting your daily quota of five to nine servings, you help build your body's immunity to things like cancer, heart disease and diabetes and other common illness. 

Here are 10 reasons why you should eat more fruits and vegetables.
1. Fruits and vegetables are good for your health. They are packed with vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants, which help to eliminate harmful free radicals called oxidants that result from the oxidation process. Free radicals are believed to contribute to a host of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Antioxidants also may help to boost the immune system.
2. There is something for everyone in the world of fruits and vegetables so arguing that you "don't like them" doesn't cut it. The variety of fruits and vegetables on grocery store shelves and markets  today is astounding, so you are sure to find some that you enjoy.
3. Adding fruits and vegetables to your diet is easy, even if you don't have the time, energy or inclination to cook, since many fruits and vegetables can be eaten raw. Just wash them well and enjoy. As a result, they are great for busy people who don't have a lot of time for food preparation.
4. They can help you stick to a weight-loss or weight-maintenance diet, since they are filling and, in many instances, have surprisingly few calories. Two medium-sized fresh apricots have only about 34 calories, five medium asparagus spears have only 16 calories, and a medium sized apple has less than 75 calories.
5. Many fruits and vegetables are packed with fiber, which is good for your digestive health. It is recommended that on average you should get 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day. A medium apple has about 3.3 grams of fiber and a medium banana has about 3.1 grams of fiber, so eating just one apple or one banana will provide about 10% of your daily fiber requirement.
6. Eating more fruits and vegetables will make you a good role model for your kids. You will have more credibility when you tell them to have an apple not a cookie as an afternoon snack if you have an apple in your hand.
7. Fruits and vegetables are delicious. Try one out today and discover for yourself. 
8. They are versatile. They can be eaten at any meal and at any time of the day, and they can be prepared any way you like, baked, fried, broiled, grilled, sautéed, boiled, microwaved or pureed, and, of course, many can be eaten raw. As a result of their versatility, they can find a place in any meal and any course.
9. You probably are not getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that most people eat at least 3 to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. So start eating some immediately. 
10. Eating more locally grown fruits and vegetables helps to support your local economy and your local farmers. In addition, it is good for the environment, because less energy is used to get these products to the local market than those grown elsewhere. You'll be improving your economy by eating, buying or even planting vegetables.

FACE DIFFICULTIES POSITIVELY

This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbours together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

Initially the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbours continued shovelling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, HE WOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP!

This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up!” He repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or how distressing the situation seemed, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP!

It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like it would bury him actually helped him, all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.

THAT’S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity we will come out of them victorious. 


Wisdom is nothing but earthly commonsense

An old villager was travelling along a narrow path which cut through thick vegetation. He had never been to school. He could neither read nor write. Yet everyone in the village considered him a wise man. He was indeed wise. He knew a lot about human nature. But he always had time to gather more wisdom. He did that by keeping his eyes and ears open.

The music of birds caught his ears as he walked along the path. A folk tune came to his mind. He hummed it, swung the cane in his hand to provide the beats for the music.

Then his eyes fell on the leaves of edible plants which stood on either side. Some animal had eaten up the leaves of plants on the right side, but not of plants to the left.
"Ah, he told himself. Its right eye must be blind." He walked a few more steps when he found footprints of the animal. Not all footprints were equally firm and clear. The villager searched for the reason. Then the truth struck him. The animal was lame in one leg.

Which leg? The villager sought. He studied the imprints. Then he told himself, "It's the hind leg, the left one that is short." A further study proved that the animal was a horse. The footprints were not deep. The old villager mumbled. "Nobody was riding the horse. It must have strayed." Hardly had he put all the facts together when a scholarly looking man ran in. He asked the villager, "Did you see my horse?"

The villager asked, "Your horse? Is it blind in the right eye?" The new comer exclaimed, "You are right! How did you know?"  The villager enquired, "Does it limp on its hind leg . . . the left leg?"
"Of course. That is my horse. Where is it?" The man asked. "How do I know? I never set eyes on your horse," the villager replied.

That made the man angry. He shouted, "You have stolen my horse. Give it back to me. Or I will complain to the village chief." "Do it. I am not afraid. I am no thief," the villager growled. "Come with me. We will go to the chief," the man dragged the old man along. 

The chief heard the complaint. Then he asked the old villager, "What do you have to say?" The villager explained how he had found out details about the horse. The chief growled at the complainant, "Go and find out your horse yourself. Don't waste time making false complaints." Then he smiled at the villager and said, "Society needs people like you." The wise man commented, "wisdom is nothing but earthly common sense  One needs to only look around carefully to find out facts."
