ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!



Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. 
 

 >From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? 
 
 To this Arthur Ashe replied:  

"The world over -- 50 million  children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the  grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "

"Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...
   "

WOW! What an excellent read!



THIS IS WELL WORTH READING GUYS

White women's opinion of Indian women & an Indian brother's response.
Please take a moment and read this. Pretty Deep! Thumbs up to this
Indian man.
Enjoy.

It seems that an article was written to Sister 2 Sister magazine by A
Caucasian woman who requested a response from Indian men. I'm so glad
She got what she asked for (and more)!!!

 

 She wrote:

Dear Jamie

I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Indian male
readers.
I am a White female who is engaged to a Indian male-good-looking,
educated and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Indian female's
attitudes about our relationship. My man decided he wanted me because
the pickings amongst Indian women were slim to none. As he said they
were either too fat, too loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy,
too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage.

Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly Approached
by Indian men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If
Indian women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't
they look at themselves and make some changes. I am tired of the dirty
looks I get and snide remarks when we're out in public. I would like to
hear from some Indian men about why we are so appealing and coveted by
them.

Bryant Gumbel left his wife of 26 years for one of us. Charles Barkley,
Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy
Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Sydney Poitier, Kofi Anan,
Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks,
Wesley
Snipes
...
I could go on and on. But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is Why
I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us, White women, Because so
many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from us And
we may lead you to treat your men better. If I'm wrong, Indian men, Let
me know.


Thanx-Disgusted White Girl, Somewhere in VA!!!!

RESPONSE

Dear Jamie:

I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White Girl.
Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old Indian man. I Graduated
from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia With a
Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at A
major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I Consider
myself to be among the ranks of successful Indian men.

I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want to
set the record straight of why Indian men date white women. Back in the
day, one of the biggest reasons why Indian men dated white women was

because they were considered easy. The Indian girls in my neighborhood
were raised in strict homes. They were very strict about when they lost
their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our mpatience to
wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without
too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls. Nowadays, in my
opinion, a lot of brothers date white women because they are docile and
easy to control. A lot of Indian men, because of insecurities, fears,
and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our
Indian women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than
us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses.

Because of this fear, many Indian men look for a more docile woman.
Someone
We can control.
I have talked to numerous Indian men and they continuously comment on
how easy it is to control and walk over their white women. I just want
to set the record straight.
I want A Disgusted White Girl to know that not all successful Indian men
date white women.
Brothers like Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan,
Morris
Chestnut
, Will Smith, Blair Underwood,
Kenneth 'Babyface'
Edmonds
,
Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Rock all married strong black/Indian women
And, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the
spot light, who openly or secretly desire Indian women over white women.
Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few. I just don't
Want a 'Disgusted White girl' to be misinformed, Stop thinking that
Because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when
Indian Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling
Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of
Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs.
Read your history!
It was the Indian woman that taught you how to cook and season your
food.
It was the Indian woman that taught you how to raise your children.
It was Indian women who were breast feeding and raising your babies
during slavery.
It is the Indian woman that had to endure watching their fathers,
husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail.
INDIAN women were born with two strikes against them: being Indian and
being a woman. And, through all this, Still They Rise! It is because of
the Indian women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I
could never date anyone except my Indian Queen. It is not just the outer
beauty that captivates and draws me to them.

It is not the fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colors and
shades that I love them. Their inner beauty is what I find most
appealing about Indian women. Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing
souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome great obstacles, their
willingness to stand for what they believe in, and their determination
to succeed and reach their highest potential while enduring great pain
and suffering is why I have fallen in love with Indian women.

I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy And
envy more so than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you

continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so
proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale skin?
Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with
unnatural and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more
voluptuous?
I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have What
the Indian woman has...

BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can Walk
over and control, I would give you a call. But, unfortunately, I am

looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife and mother
to my children. Someone who can be my best friend and understands my
struggles. I am looking for a soul mate. I am looking for a sister and;
unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill.

No offense taken, none given.
Signed, Indian Royalty

Wow!! Please pass this on to all the INDIAN QUEENS....and INDIAN KINGS
Be proud of your women... ..... Appreciate their greatness.......!!!!

big or small ,,,,,small is good........


Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions
Case 1

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the
writing
surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million.
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do...??
 They used a pencil .

Case 2
 One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly! line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assemblyline empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
 But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on,
and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out
of
the line.
 
Moral: Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible
solution that solves the problems. Always focus on solutions & not on
problems. So the end of the day the thing that really matters is
HOW ONE LOOKS AT THE PROBLEM and Resolves it early

'You're an MBA,'

 
A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in an Armani suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie-leans out the window and asks the shepherd, 'If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me
one?'

The shepherd looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers, 'Sure. Why not?' The young man parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his AT&T cell phone, surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an
exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite
that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image
has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulas. He uploads all of this data via an email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi- tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the shepherd and says, 'You have exactly 1,586 sheep.'
'That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep,' says the shepherd.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amuse as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then the shepherd says to the young man, 'Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your education is, will you give him back to me?'
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, Okay, why not?'
'You're an MBA,' says the shepherd.
'Wow! That's correct,' says the young man, 'but how did you guess that?'
'No guessing required,' answered the shepherd.
You came here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked; and you don't know a thing about my business.
'Now give my Sheep back me  !

I care for u..........

Hi Friends,

All u of r aware of it........but once again coz i care fr u all.............

1) Don't put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers,
Because directly after dialing, the mobile phone would use it's
Maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi. Please Be Careful.
Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the
right one it may affect brain directly. This is a true fact from
Apollo medical team. Please forward to all your well wishers..!

2) Do not drink APPY FIZZ. It contains cancer causing agent. Don't delete
it b4 frwding.

3) Don't eat mentos before or after drinking coke or pepsi bcoz
the person will die as it creates cyanide.

God's Pharmacy (very interesting)

A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw.  We're such slow learners...
 
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes  hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.  Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?  It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There ar e over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (mo dern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoeslook like the pancreas and actual ly bal ance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives  assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just l ike the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions  look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
