You Have to Believe - You Never Know

What are the chances that the little red haired girl one day inherits a
fortune from a forgotten uncle ?
Who's to say that the one guy that failed his final exam turns
everything around and starts a Multi-Billion dollar company ?
After the furtune's been made, who are their friends ? The ones that
they will share success with ?

NOT the ones who didn't believe in them.
NOT the ones that laughed at their dreams.
NOT the ones that wouldn't even notice them.

The friends of these people who succeed when everyone thought they would
fail are the "believers". Nothing is guaranteed, but if you believe in
someone, and they know you support them, there's a chance that they will
eventually succeed, and maybe you can benefit from their success.
Everyone says "money doesn't matter". Until one of their friends turns
up in the winners circle. Then you see the change. Critics become
supporters, and all of a sudden, everyones happy for you. Even the ones
that never helped, or spent most of the time telling you how wrong you
are. Now they say. "I was just joking, I knew you could do it.".

The "Believers" are the ones that lend support, and help if they can,
regardless of success or failure. Because you ner know which way the
ball will roll.

I'm kind of a Buddha guy sometimes...

According to a saying attributed in some traditions to the Buddha, if a person does not follow the goal of Total Realization, one lives one's life like a preoccupied child playing with toys in a house that is burning to the ground.

Was, Is, Are

"I`d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;
because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.
I`d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;
for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are."

Before You Lift Your Fist to Strike

More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the
watchful eye of caution.

You've Got to Be Kidding Me Man...

Some Jackass contact me on the Yahoo IM with this message:

 

yaandni : How are you doing pls
activemode : I'm doing just fine... Are you alright?
yaandni : Yes
yaandni : Am Prince Adama Andni of the Northern Part of Ghana
yaandni : and u?
activemode : I'm just a Programmer.
yaandni : Location pls
activemode : Florida
yaandni : Do you have access to email pls
activemode : why?
yaandni : My dad was the late king (YAA-NAA-ANDNI)

 

At this point, I stoped and blocked the sender. 

 

Analysis:

For one thing, this person types very good english for someone from Ghana.  They also seem to have a habit of contacting common people, that are not of Royal Blood like myself.  Also, why is my location important, if your sending a message to me announcing your Royal Status?  And finally, why would you have to type out a pronunciation of the name of your father? 

 

Notice when they typed:

 

yaandni: and u?

or

yaandni: Location pls

 

They use an abbreviation for - you and please - This is un-becoming of a person of Royal Status.  They would have typed out the whole word.

 

This is obviously a scam. 

 

Resolution:

The person that sent it, is probably some Broke Bald Guy with no friends, living in his mothers basement in Ohio.  Otherwise, it could also be a Lonely Old Woman looking for a way to suppliment her income or pay for the young men that she buys sex from.

 

Why Are We So surprised ?

How many movies have there been that show international terrorists
coming into America and blowing things up?

After Hollywood showed us what might happen, why is it
such a surprise that they're actually doing it now? Art always imitates
life. We should have been ready for it.

Honest Men and Criminals

In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is
the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.
