If you Mess up - It's Not your Parents Fault

" If you Mess up - It's Not your Parents Fault. "

Bill Gates.
This should be posted at every school and on everyone's refrigerator if they have kids - can also apply to many adults!

Love him or hate him , he sure hits the nail on the head with this!
Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem.
The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone u ntil you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes,
learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they arenow. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time..

Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you agree, pass it on.
if you don't agree stick your head in the sand and take a deep breath!

If you can read this - Thank your teachers,not necessary those at school!

Fun facts about humour

Fun facts

We counted the number of words in every joke that people submitted. According to the data, jokes containing 103 words are the funniest.

Many of the jokes submitted contained reference to animals. We found that jokes mentioning ducks are funnier than others. Perhaps it’s because of their beaks, or webbed feet, or odd shape. Regardless, the implication is clear – if you are going to tell a joke involving an animal, make it a duck.

One of the most important parts of the body’s defenses against disease and illness is its ‘immune system’. Experiments suggest that people who laugh more, and are able to look on the funny side of life, have healthier immune systems than others.

A good laugh also increases our heart rate, helps us breathe more deeply, and stretches many different muscles in our face and upper body. In fact, it is like a mini work-out – a quick visit to the giggle gym.

One researcher estimated that a good laugh produces an increase in heart rate that is equivalent to ten minutes on a rowing machine or fifteen minutes on an exercise bike .

Philosophers and scientists have been fascinated by humour for over 2000 years. The famous philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC) wrote a great deal about the topic. Unfortunately, we only have indirect references to his ideas because his actual treatise on laughter has been lost in the mists of time. Interestingly, it is this ‘lost volume’ of humour that lays at the centre of the well known book and film ‘The Name of the Rose’.

Scientific research has shown that 35% of people have been tickled in the past week, 86% in the past year , 40% of people have tickled someone else in the past week, and 84% in the past year.

Cinta Saja Tidak Cukup!

Cinta Saja Tidak Cukup!

KOMPAS.com — Pacaran bertahun-tahun tidak akan menjamin bahwa dia adalah pria yang tepat untuk Anda. Ada pasangan yang hanya butuh waktu 6 bulan untuk melanjutkan ke jenjang pernikahan, tetapi ada juga yang perlu waktu bertahun-tahun sampai ke pernikahan. Itu pun ada juga yang akhirnya bubaran. Lalu, bagaimana cara mengetahui bahwa ia memang pria yang tepat?

1. Teman-teman setujuBukan hanya Anda yang yakin bahwa dia orang yang tepat, tetapi juga teman-teman Anda. Namun, kalau hanya Anda yang merasakan hal itu, dan teman-teman Anda tidak setuju, berarti ada yang salah. Terkadang cinta bisa membutakan logika dan perasaan Anda; orang-orang di sekitar Andalah yang bisa berpikiran normal.

2. Kumpul dengan keluargaPerkenalkan pasangan dengan keluarga Anda dan lihat apakah ia bisa dengan mudah bergabung dengan orangtua dan saudara-saudara Anda. Memang tak semua orang bisa langsung akrab dengan orang yang baru dikenal. Namun, amati juga apakah ia cenderung menghindar.

3. Ia mendengarkanHidup adalah dua kesatuan yang harmonis. Ada kalanya Anda mendengarkan atau dia yang mendengarkan. Namun jika Anda hanya berfungsi sebagai pendengar, maka komunikasi tidak akan berlangsung dua arah. Ingatlah bahwa komunikasi adalah fondasi dari hubungan Anda.

4. Punya tujuan yang samaAnda ingin menikah dan ia ingin bersenang-senang? Sampai kapan pun Anda berdua tidak akan seiring sejalan. Satukan tujuan ke depan, akan dibawa ke mana hubungan itu? Apakah hanya sebatas bersenang-senang atau berlanjut ke arah yang lebih serius?

5. Ia bisa jadi teman dan sahabatIni keuntungan lain saat Anda punya pasangan yang bisa diandalkan sebagai teman dan sahabat. Fondasi ini lebih kokoh ketimbang hanya menjadikan ia sebagai pecinta.

6. PercayaAnda percaya kepadanya. Tanpa kepercayaan, suatu hubungan tidak akan pernah langgeng sebab Anda akan saling curiga dan mengekang satu sama lain.

7. Merasa spesialAnda masih merasakan hal yang sama seperti saat pertama berjumpa dengannya, seperti perhatiannya yang tak berkurang atau kesetiaannya yang tetap teruji. Hal ini merupakan pertanda kalau Anda adalah orang yang spesial baginya.

8. Membicarakan masa depanSaat Anda mencari Mr Right, maka Anda juga harus memosisikan hal yang sama bahwa ia mencari Mrs Right. Artinya, ia juga memiliki sejumlah komitmen untuk menjalani kehidupan yang saling mendukung bersama Anda, pasangannya.

9. Merasa terlindungiMelindungi bukan hanya secara fisik, melainkan juga secara finansial. Jika ia tidak bisa menghidupi dirinya sendiri bagaimana nanti ia bisa menghidupi Anda dan anak-anak? Cinta saja tidak cukup. Anda harus mampu bersikap realistis!

10. Jadilah apa adanyaJadilah diri Anda apa adanya agar ia juga mencintai diri Anda seutuhnya, lengkap dengan segala kekurangan Anda. Jika ia tidak mencintai Anda apa adanya, maka tidak alasan Anda untuk terus bersamanya karena unsur "pada saat susah dan senang" tak Anda miliki.
