The Black Dot

One day, Professor Xavier entered his classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They all waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin.


The Professor X. handed out the test questions with the text facing down, as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked the students to turn over the papers.


To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions–just a black dot in the center of the paper.


The Professor, seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, told them the following:

“I want you to write about what you see there.”


The students, confused, got started on the inexplicable task.


At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer sheet and started reading each one of them out loud in front of all the students.


All of them, with no exception, defined the black dot, trying to explain its position in the center of the sheet. After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor started to explain:


“I’m not going to grade you on this, I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot – and the same thing happens in our lives.

However, we insist on focusing only on the black dot – the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend. The dark spots are very small when compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.


Take your eyes away from the black dots in your lives. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you.

Be happy and live a life filled with love!”


Have a blissful week...

Four Letter Words!!!

Okon was born into the family of Mr. & Mrs Paul Okon after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and young Okon was the apple of their eyes. When he was around two years old, one morning Mr Okon saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it on the cupboard. The mother, who was a little bit preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.



Little Okon saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages.

Instantly Okon collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.


When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

What do you think were the four words?


The husband just said
"I Love You Darling"



The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.



Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.


If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

Happy New Month Readers - "You are What you Think"

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't!
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind!
If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you'll ever win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the person who thinks he can!

Its Never Over Until it is Over

One random night she wake up. She was thinking about all things that happened to her in the past few days. Her boyfriend left her a message saying:"Sorry but we are over". In her head she didn't know how to react, because they went out for 3 years.
And all he said was:"Sorry but we are over" She thought she did something wrong. So she dressed uo and left the house. She was walking in the park. Thinking about things she wanted to change in her life. Suddenly she sees him. The boy that she loved and still loves. She walks up to him.


Girl: Hey, what are you doing here?

Boy: Ohh.. Hi I'm just sitting here..

Girl: At 3:34 am? Isn't that too late?

Boy: I know. Look I'm sorry I was stupid I never should of broke up with you. This is the place where we first kissed so I am here thinking about you because I can't sleep.

Girl: But why did you?

Boy: Because of another girl. I was wrong and I really regret it. I still love you.


Girl's heart start beating faster and she wanted to say i love you too, but she could't.

Girl: But i don't love you. You made cry for the last 2 weeks and i couldn't sleep you because i loved you. Now Its all over. I don't love you anymore. I forgot you.

Boy: I understand but please remember i will love you for ever!! EVER!



Girl turned around and you could feel how her tears were falling of her eyes. She walked away.


5 days later she knew that she can't take it anymore. She was weak and wanted to see him. She took the phone and rang him.



Boy: Hello?

Girl: Look the night in the park i said i don't love you, I lied i love you and miss you a lot. PLease, could we meet up, really miss you.

Boy: Sure, I was thinking about you for the last 5 days. I missed you a lot. I love you. Her feelings came back. She loved him a lot. His smile made her happy again. She loved him so much she would give anything to be with him. He was everything to her.

Girl: Let's meet up in the park on other side of the town.Its is beautiful there i want to remember this day for the rest of my life.

Boy: Love, you make me worm happy and you are most beautiful girl ever. I will never leave you.I swear my life i will never leave you! You perfect and i will love you for the rest of my life. Ok, i will be there in 30 minutes, bye love you.
The girl was really happy that she finally will kiss him again. She was driving the car and felt do happy
THEN SUDDENLY.......



She started to cry a bit. Few drops had fallen,while all this was going on she didn't realise she was driving too fast and the second she went to wipe her tears of her face
BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girl: What happened?
Nurse: You crashed into another driving car.....

Girl: Are people in other car ok?
Nurse: No, the person died before ambulance could arrive.

Girl: I need to call someone please.... Can i call someone....

Nurse: Sorry you need to rest. You lost lots of blood.

Girl: But i need to talk to someone.....

Nurse: No stay in bed and rest.
Nurse walks away out and starts crying.

Doctor: Whats wrong?

Nurse: Her boyfriend was in the other car.... He died before ambulance could arrive. She doesn't know i can't break her heart.


The truth was thst her boyfriend(ex boyfriend) went pass the park and was going to buy her flowers first and the drive to the park. They both were driving to fast and didn't pay attention. People say that the only thing could separate love is death. Some say it can't be separated at all.

EXPRESS YOURSELF

There was once a guy who suffered from cancer... a cancer that can't be treated. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once.

So he asked his mother and she gave him permission. He walked down his block and found a lot of stores.

He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a young girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.

She looked up and asked "Can I help you?" She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there

He said "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD." He picked one out and gave her money for it.

"Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again.

He nodded and she went to the back.

She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store. He went home and from then on, he went to that store everyday and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her.

So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store. He bought a CD like he did everyday and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...

!!!RRRRRING! !!

The mother picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

It was the girl!!! She asked for the boy and the mother started to cry and said, "You don't know? He passed away yesterday... "

The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy's mother.

Later in the day. the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet. She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all those CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one.

Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it.
It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jacelyn

The mother opened another CD...

Again there was a piece of paper.

It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jacelyn
Love is... when you've had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, "I Love You . . . "

Moral: If you Really Love Someone please Expressed your feeling and let them know how much you Love them,That person might also love you in the same way as you love them Before it is too late........
My Advice is to all those who are in love to express your love to the person you love before it is too late.......

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his
way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. 

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. 

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large
glass of milk He drank it slowly, and then asked,  "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never to
accept payment for a kindness."
He said...  "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically,
but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors
were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare
disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. 

When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled
his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her
room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. 

He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation
room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave
special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.

He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent
to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for
it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught her attention on the side as she read these
words......
"Paid in full with one glass of milk."  (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You,
GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."
