    Listen To The Whisper, Don’t Wait For The Brick

    / No Comments

    Listen To The Whisper, Don’t Wait For The Brick How many times does life throw a brick at you to get your attention? I guess that we are all too easily distracted. TV, commercials, radio and advertisement, and toys – too much of these things have drowned out life’s voice. A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door! He slammed on the…

    Where Did “Piss Poor” and Other Phrases Come From?

    / 3 Comments

    Have you ever wondered where the phrase “piss poor” came from? Or maybe some other phrases that we have heard throughout the years such as “it’s raining cats and dogs”? Well, here are some “versions” of the answers! Where did “Piss Poor” come from? Interesting history. They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot. And then once it was full it was taken and sold to the tannery… if you had to do this to survive you were “Piss Poor”. But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot… They “didn’t have…

    A Life Lesson On The Damage Of Nails

    / No Comments

    A Life Lesson On The Damage Of Nails There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all.…

    Potato, Egg Or Coffee Bean? Which One Are You?

    / No Comments

    Potato, Egg Or Coffee Bean? Which One Are You? Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them…

    5 Important Life Lessons

    / 2 Comments

    Important Life Lesson #1 During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50’s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. “Absolutely, ” said the professor.. “In your…
