Did You Know ...

Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most susceptible?

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?

Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are:
• I love you.
• I’m sorry.
• Help me.

Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?

Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?

Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?

Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?

Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?

Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.

But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself, if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned, and you know that you can help, you'll see that it will be returned in two-fold.

Paradox

Today we have bigger houses and smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.


We have more degrees, but less common sense;
more knowledge, but less judgment.

We have more experts, but more problems;
more medicine, but less wellness.


We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast,
get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired,
read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often.


We‘ve learned how to make a living, but not a life;
we’ve added years to life, not life to years.

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.

We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
we have higher incomes, but lower morals.

We build more computers to hold more information,
to produce more copies, but have less communication.
We are long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;
tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships.

More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition;
two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes.

That’s why I propose, that as of today,
you do not keep anything for a special occasion,
because every day that you live is a special occasion.

Search for knowledge, read more,
sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs.

Spend more time with your family and friends,
eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love.

Life is a chain of moment of enjoyment, not only about survival.

Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume,
and use it every time you feel you want it.

Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “one of these days” and “someday”. Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days”.

Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them.
Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.

Every day, every hour, and every minute is special.
And you don’t know if it will be your last.
