Gender Difference
At the college, male & female students were told to individually write a sentence using the words 'sex' and 'love.'
Females wrote :
When two mature people are passionately and deeply in love with one another to a high degree and that they respect each other very much, then, it is spiritually and morally acceptable to the society that they both engage themselves in the act of physical sex with one another.
Men wrote : 'I love sex.'

Eating Grass
One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
"Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man.
"We don't have any money for food." the poor man replied.
"Oh, come along with me then."
"But sir, I have a wife with two children!"
"Bring them along! And you, come with us too!", he said to the other man.
"But sir, I have a wife with six children!" the second man answered.
"Bring them as well!"
They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is about two feet tall!"

Throw no good money after bad
"Sunk costs" are expenses that have already been incurred and can't be recovered to any appreciable extent. "Sunk cost fallacy" means an irrational belief that a further investment of time, money or effort will somehow resurrect the value that's already disappeared.
A classic example is the investor whose stock has plunged because the prospects of the company have worsened. The investor wouldn't buy the same stock today, yet continues to hang on to the shares rather than sell them and take the loss. The investor may offer the excuse that he or she wants to at least "break even" before selling, but of course the stock market doesn't care about the investor getting the money back, and all the wishing in the world won't bring the stock price back up.
By hanging on to the shares, the investor is giving up the opportunity to invest elsewhere at a profit -- an opportunity cost.
Remember: Sometimes it is better to flee and hide, so that another day you may come back and fight.

Why supply and demand rule
For the most part, prices are set by the interaction between supply and demand. If demand for something suddenly shoots up and the available supply of that something doesn't change, then prices will increase. If demand drops or supply increases, though, prices typically fall.
Here's an example. Say rock star Brittany Amber Tiffany is photographed wearing a cap with the brand name of a Health Care company. Suddenly, all her fans and half the people reading local magazine decide they, too, need the Health Care company's hat. The companies that stock these hats figure out a good thing when they see it, and double, then triple, the price. The hat actually worn by Brittany sells for a mint on eBay, earning a notice in mainstream newspapers and furthering the craze.
The Health Care company wants a piece of this action and starts cranking out hats by the ton. Suddenly you can find one in every Cold Storage and Robinson. The retailers can no longer command a premium for having a rare item (thanks to the increase in supply). In fact, the hats start seeming a heck of a lot less cool, lowering demand; Cold Storage and Robinson slash the price still further to get rid of their unwanted supply.
Only a big increase in supply or a sustained decline in demand is likely to affect prices.
Supply and demand have a lot to do with our incomes, as well. If we have rare skills that are in high demand by employers, we can negotiate higher pay. If, on the other hand, there are a lot of people that can do what we do or the employer need for what we do is limited, our incomes are likely to be stunted. Think about that, and stay relevant or risk losing your rice bowl.

Every money decision has a cost of its own
"Opportunity cost," very simply, means what we give up in order to get something else. In every choice, there's an opportunity cost. If you decide to go to university, for example, you're giving up the income you could have earned by working full-time during those years plus whatever you could have purchased with the money used to attend school. You also may take on loans to pay for school, which will have to be paid back with future income that could have gone for other purposes.
The good news, of course, is that even with opportunity costs, university is a slam-dunk for most people. Statistically, the average graduate makes 70% more over his or her lifetime than someone who stops with a "A-level" Certificate or Diploma.
If, however, you train for a career that has little demand and wind up making the same amount as a Diploma holder, or trailing huge amounts of student loan debt you can never repay, you may regret the money spent on school and the foregone income.
Understanding that our choices have opportunity costs, and examining what those costs are, should help us make better economic decisions.

My Dear Wife,
My love for you is endless. I know I don't always show it as I used to, and I admit that often I get distracted with the demands of life and lately, derailed by the pressures of work.

I plan to love you for all of my days.
I'm aware that things don't always go smoothly in our marriage and that we have our ups and downs, but through it all, one thing will never change - my love for you. I know it will go on and on. And I know that it will continue to increase and strengthen over time. My love for you is forever.
Because I love you,
Your Husband
