A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."
"What?" said the puzzled groom.
"How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.
Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.
Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.
Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"
"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"
"You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!

30 Second Impression
People could judge us within the first 30 seconds we met. It's both ways. The way we look, speak and behave influences people to create a certain perception of us.
The right perception will influence people towards us, and help to deliver results that are favorable to us. On the other hand, the wrong perception will influence people away from us, and bring us results that are unfavorable.
The ability to create the right or wrong perception is in our hands. The choice is ours.
If people have a good perception of us, it is because we have made it happen. Likewise, if people have a poor perception of us, it is also because we have made it happen.

How would I lead my life
What would we do and behave if we knew our days were limited? Fact is, we tend to take life for granted. Nobody knows when our day is up. If we did, would we do things differently? This is how I want to live everyday. Some of the things I have already done, and some are still trying. I don't want to do the stuffs that don't enrich my life and people surround me. Basically, I want to conduct my life in this fashion.
How about you?
- Avoid debt. I want to lead a debt free life
- Love and savor the people around me like my family, friends and students. Let them know that they are valuable to me
- Make amends with anyone I needed
- Feel thankful and gratitude for the opportunity to be alive
- Inspire others
- Live moderately
- Eat well
- Exercise
- Keep learning and sharing my journey
- Live in peace
- Be more loving, patient and compassionate, be more tolerant, and forgiving
- Forgive and love myself
- Have more fun
- Wake up early
- Smile more often
- Surround myself with my favorite things & create a private retreat

- Do something different each day
- Hug more
- Celebrate my uniqueness
- Make it a point to find the joy in my life and carry a carefree attitude

How about you?

Ah…The Good Old Days
Enjoy this...
An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eying two U. S. Government officials sent to interview him. “Chief Two Eagles,” asked one official, “You have observed the white man for 90 years. You’ve seen his wars and his technological advances. You’ve seen his progress, and the damage he’s done.”
The chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, “Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?”
The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, “When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex.”
Then the chief leaned back and said, “Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve a system like that!”
