There lived a Woman whose Husband had a bad habit. The man would drink a lot every day. This caused him to lose his normal senses for most of the time. The Woman tried many times to help him get out of this habit. But all her efforts went in vain! Every night, someone else would have to bring him back home. One such night when he was brought home, the Woman had him carried to a grave in the neighbourhood. She thought she could teach him a good lesson by frightening him and then he would stop his bad habit. Then she dressed herself in a dark-coloured dress. She wore a mask upon her face. She waited for him to wake up. When the Woman saw her Husband returning to his senses, she moved towards him with a serious face. Then, she gave him some food to eat and spoke loudly, "Get up and eat, it is my job to bring food for the dead." The Husband was very scared. He ran home at once. From that day onwards, he gave up his bad habit. Tags:How to teach lesson to your husband? How to

A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her basket. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through; don't be upset. It won't be long." Soon they came to the candy aisle, and the little girl began to shout for candy. And when told she couldn't have any, began to cry. The mother said, "There, there, Monica, don't cry–only two more aisles to go, and then we'll be checking out." When they got to the check-out stand, the little girls immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there'd be no gum purchased. The mother patiently said, "Monica, we'll be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap." The man followed them out

A new fire fighter was being trained by an old fire chief. "How would you react if a sudden fire flared up on the front of the building?" asked the fire chief. "Break out a fire hose and start spraying it, chief." answered the new fire fighter. "How would you react if another fire flared up in the back of the building?" asked the fire chief. "Break out another fire hose and start spraying it, chief." answered the new fire fighter. "And if another huge fire flared up in the basement, how would you react?" asked the fire chief. "Break out another fire hose." answered the new fire fighter. "Now wait a minute, son," said the fire chief. "Where are all these fire hoses coming from?" The new fire fighter answered, "The same place where all of the fires are coming from, chief."

A young lieutenant was passed by a private, who failed to salute. The lieutenant called him back, and said sternly: You did not salute me. For this you will immediately salute two hundred times. At this moment the General came up. What's all this? he exclaimed, seeing the poor private about to begin. The lieutenant explained. This ignoramus failed to salute me, and as a punishment, I am making him salute two hundred times. Quite right, replied the General, smiling. "But do not forget, sir, that upon each occasion you are to salute in return."

Think what a remarkable, unduplicatable, and miraculous thing it is to be you! Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth, since the beginning of time, not ONE of them is like YOU! No one who has ever lived or is to come has had your combination of abilities, talents, appearance, friends, acquaintances, burdens, sorrows and opportunities. No, one's hair grows exactly the way yours does. No one's finger prints are like yours. No one has the same combination of secret inside jokes and family expressions that you know. The few people who laugh at all the same things you do, don't sneeze the way you do. No one prays about exactly the same concerns as you do. No one is loved by the same combination of people that love you - NO ONE! No one before, no one to come. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE! Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the part

A friend's grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked. "Start out at that end," she said. "Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay." "I soon learned that's how everything works in America," the grandfather told a friend. "Life's a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up...and work
