Marks of Good Breeding

Stillness of person and steadiness of features are signal marks of good breeding.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Twelve...

Tom was starting he's first day of job as a policeman. So as he was patrolling. He saw there's one old man keep walking round and round a well saying twelve, twelve, twelve.

So out of curiosity he walk forward and ask the old man, how come he keep counting twelve.

The old man point his finger in the well. So as Tom was bending down and look into the well. The old man give Tom a mighty hard kick and Tom fell into the well.

And the old man continue walking round and round the well saying thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen...

The Devil's Walk

From his brimstone bed, at break of day,
A walking the Devil is gone,
To look at his little snug farm of the world,
And see how his stock went on.

Robert Southey & Samuel T. Coleridge,
The Devil's Walk

Competition is Good

A shopkeeper was dismayed when a brand new business much like his own opened up next door and erected a huge sign which read 'BEST DEALS.'

He was horrified when another competitor opened up on his right, and announced its arrival with an even larger sign, reading 'LOWEST PRICES.'

The shopkeeper panicked, until he got an idea. He put the biggest sign of all over his own shop. It read... 'MAIN ENTRANCE'

The Paradoxical Commandments

The Paradoxical Commandments
(by Dr. Kent M. Keith)

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Skip a Day

A woman was terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet.

"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."

When the woman returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds.

"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"

The woman nodded. "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day."

"From hunger, you mean?"

"No, from skipping."

(女)我一直以为
不会在乎他们谈论
就算是身边
已经充满
各种耳语

(男)但我却看到
你那美丽的脸
在多彩多姿
生活中渐渐苍白
渐渐苍白

(女)我一直以为
不会在乎
他们眼神
就算是身边
已经充满
指指点点

(男)但我却看到
你那灿烂的笑颜
在纷纷忧忧
话题中渐渐沉默

(合)渐渐改变

(男)流言传来传去
说不停不知道
何时能平息

(女)流言转来转去
请相信我的心
纯如往昔

(合)流言飘来散去
会随着每一天
淡去无痕迹

(女)但愿你相信
(男)我依然相信 (爱你)

(合)最真的心
