TODAY'S MESSAGE FROM TRICHY PRASANNAN

Subject: HUMOR

 

After my wife and her former best buddy, another Air Force wife, 
were separated by a move that posted one husband on the 
opposite coast, the telephone became their chief means of 
communication. When our phone bills showed astronomical 
increases, the other spouse and I sought relief. Since we both 
owned computers, we encourage our wives to use electronic
mail. Now they call on the phone to let each other know that 
e-mail was sent, then call back to confirm that it arrived and 
have a conversation about the contents. 
------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying very hard to understand this generation. They have adjusted 
the timetable for childbearing so that menopause and teaching a 
16-year-old to drive will occur in the same week. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man took a ride in a stunt plane. The pilot dove and spun, 
putting the plane through its entire repertoire. When they
landed the passenger gasped, "Thank you for the rides!"
"That was only one ride," said the pilot. "I'll call it two," 
said the man. "My first and my last!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My husband was a university student, and money was tight for our 
family of seven. We were attending a friend's wedding and our 
four-year-old daughter, Christy, was sitting next to me. When the 
minister asked, "Do you take this man for better or worse, for 
richer or poorer, in sickness and in health?" our daughter turned 
to me and said in a loud whisper, "You picked 'poorer,' 
didn't you, Mom?" 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My parents told me, "Finish your dinner. People in China and India 
are starving." I tell my daughters, "Finish your homework. People in 
India and China are starving for your job."

---------------------------------------------------------------------
As my husband, the county highway commissioner, was driving to 
the hospital for treatment of his painful leg, he decided to use the 
valet parking service so he wouldn't have to walk far. Staring at his 
official-looking vehicle, one of the valets asked my husband if he 
was driving a government car. "Why, yes," my husband replied, 
surprised by the question. "In fact it's an unmarked police car."
"Wow" the young man said, sliding behind the wheel. "This will be 
the first time I've been in the front seat."

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Steve, my accountant husband, and I both suffer from occasional bouts 
of insomnia. One night I suggested we try a technique I'd read about, 
which was to encourage relaxation. Laying with our eyes closed, I 
described a relaxing scene: "We're in a beautiful, oceanside bungalow 
on a tropical island. A gentle breeze is coming through the French 
doors that lead to our private ocean path."
A quiet voice startled me from my peaceful place; "How much is this 
vacation costing us?" Steve asked.

Driving through Oklahoma, my husband and I went out of our way to 
stop at what was billed as the largest McDonald's in the world.
However, we were less than thrilled when an employee addressed 
everyone over the intercom: "Attention, world's largest McDonald's 
customers."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a truck lunch wagon in London: Sir Lunch A Lot.  
-------------------------------------------------------------

A woman traveling with her two-year-old son met a man who 
had eight children. She told him that she loved her son so 
much that she could not imagine dividing that love by eight. 
"Madam," the man gently replied, "you do not have to divide 
your love. You multiply it."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 There was the accountant who told his client, "There's good news, and 
there's bad news."
"Give me the bad news first," the client said nervously.
"The bad news is that your business is flat on its back."
The businessperson asked hopefully, "And what's the good news?"
"It's looking up."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just saw that in our filing cabinet, my husband has all federal correspondence

labeled as "Dealings With The Man."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About a month or so ago, after much deliberation, I bought a magnolia 
tree from our local nursery. After only a few weeks I noticed that 
the leaves had started to shrivel and the tree appeared to be on its 
last legs in spite of my tender care.
So I took some leaf samples and marched back to the nursery to demand 
an explanation or get my money back.
"I know exactly what's wrong with your magnolia," said the manager.
"Good!" I exclaimed. "What's it suffering from?"
You can imagine how stupid I felt when he simply said, "winter."

[www.keralites.net] Generosity & Kindness!

 

Generosity Kindness!

 

Make Your Money Speak through GENEROSITY KINDNESS.


There is lot of money around these days. You can see and feel it everywhere, with classy lifestyle, swanky cars, ultra modern expensive gadgets, Jewellery, marriage ceremonies conducted in star hotels, exotic holidays, it's endless. 'When you have it, why not flaunt it', seems to be the vogue these days. Mindless, bordering on shameless, display and show of wealth, is the order of the day. Everyone seems to be in the mad race for making more money, somehow, then showing it off to impress others and 'be counted in'.

Well, I have gone through the exercise umpteen times, being the victim of the 'show-off' spree feeling uncomfortable and at times, embarrassed, but truly speaking I 'pity' them all. They leave a very poor impression. Money and wealth, earned through hard work and intelligence, is seen wasted on builders, caterers, hotels, textile and jewellery showrooms list is endless.


But your money speak for you, showing your big golden heart when you care for others as much as you care for yourself and your family. It will bring you both respect and reverence.
That is GENEROSITY KINDNESS.

enerosity makes you something different, something apart. It makes you feel on top of the world. Best thing about generosity is that it makes you feel good about yourself, about this world, about the creator who created this wonderful world for all of us to live in peace and share.


Generosity does not mean, how much you have. Generosity gives you freedom to be generous with as little or as much. Generosity provides you something everybody wants, joy, peace and happiness. Do not wait to be generous when you will have enough. If you can't be generous with what you have now, you would never be generous with howsoever much you may have in future. Postponing generosity means, you are losing a great chance for being happy now.


A ten year old boy saved from his meager pocket money to have a Sundae ice-cream and went to an ice-cream parlour. While sitting at the table, he asked the waitress "how much a Sundae ice-cream costs?" "50 cents" she replied. The boy took out the money from his packet and started counting it. Little confused, he again asked the waitress "how much a simple vanilla ice-cream costs?" Waitress, little irritated, replied impatiently "35 cents". The boy, finally, said "Please get me a simple Vanilla ice-cream".


The waitress served him ice-cream and the bill. The boy ate his Vanilla ice cream with relish, paid his bill and left. When waitress came to pick up the cash, her eyes were filled with tears. There, in addition to the bill amount, in the corner of the plate, were 15 cents, her tip. The boy had ordered a simple vanilla ice-cream instead of a Sundae, so that he could leave a tip for her.

 

Opposite of 'Generosity' is 'miserliness' or 'being stingy with money'. Generosity makes a 'poor' man rich. 'Miserliness or being stingy' makes a rich man look poor.

 

Generosity is when you want to share whatever you have now, not from the plenty you might have later. Being generous elevates you in your own eyes, which in itself, feels great. You have to love yourself before others love you. Everyone likes to be in the company of generous and large-hearted people. Be one now and see the difference and feel-good factor you create for yourself.



Money plays a big role in life but it would make you happy, only if you are generous and kind in giving. If you are feeling low, stressful and pessimistic, then just try to be generous in giving, helping, sharing. True inner feeling of joy, optimism and positivity will replace those feelings of negativity. It is when you are compassionate and sympathetic to others' pain and want to help and share, then money brings true joy, elation and happiness.


It's your money. You have worked hard for it. It must be put to best productive use, for your happiness, elation and joy. When you are using it generously for helping those not so lucky, giving it so that someone or his children may not sleep hungry, or responding to a newspaper advertisement for helping someone out financially for his or some unknown child's medical treatment, or for any such charitable or philanthropic causes, you are using your money in a positive manner. When you give with an open heart and hand, He also gives you abundance.


World is full of wonderful generous, kind people. Here is a true story about human grace, dignity and generosity, titled 'Coffee on the wall'. Writer was having coffee in a restaurant, when he saw someone entering alone and sitting on the adjacent table, ordering 'two cups of coffee. "One for the table, one for the wall", he said. Waiter brought only one coffee for him, served very respectfully and pasted a slip 'one coffee on the wall'. Gentleman paid for two and left. A little later, a group of four people entered and also ordered an extra cup and same way, waiter put another slip on the wall. Then he saw a poorly dressed man entering the restaurant and telling waiter "a coffee from the wall". Waiter, very respectfully brought a cup of coffee, served him and removed one slip from the wall. After having coffee, he left without paying, since cost had already been paid.     


Mind you, cost of an extra cup of coffee was insignificant as compared to joy and happiness earned from this small act of generosity. Cup of coffee is not a necessity, but as a consideration for others when we realize that there are so many people, who would like to have a cup of coffee but can't pay for that, and making provision for that, is an ideal example of generosity, sharing, giving and being graceful humane. It is a way of elevating yourself as a human being. Rich wealthy are dime a dozen these days, but GENEROUS KIND are not, so be that. Be generous like a River, bountiful as Sun and exhibit mother earth like Hospitality.


A small act of generosity may not mean or cost much to you, but it means a lot for the recipient. Never be the slave of negativity or procrastination when you can be generous.

"Kindness is a language which deaf can hear and blind can see" said Mark Twain.


Remember: Ladder, which lifts you up towards success, has to be held by many people. If you are generous, they hold it tightly and securely, helping you to move up and reach where you want to be in life. By being generous, you are paid back many-folds in cash and kind. It always pays to be Generous.
