這是我第三次回答你了!

有一位先生,老是懷疑他的太太耳朵重聽,有天想了個好方法,來測試太太的聽力。
他趁著太太坐在沙發專心打毛線時,悄悄走到她身後十呎處,輕聲呼喚她:
"太太, 你聽得嗎?"他的太太並未回答,他暗想自己的猜測果然無誤,
太太的聽力真的出了問題。他躡手躡腳地走近太太身後五呎處,同樣呼喚她,
見她仍未回答,心想太太真是重聽得厲害了。這位先生試著又走近些,
在他太太身後約一呎的距離,輕呼:"太太,你聽得到我在叫你嗎?"
他的太太仍低頭打著毛線:"聽得到,而且這是我第三次回答你了──"

Good Or Bad ? Hard To Say

Once upon a time, there was a king. The king liked one of his followers very much because he was very wise and always gave very useful advice.
Therefore the king took him along wherever he went.

One day, the king was bitten by a dog, the finger was injured and the wound was getting worse.
He asked the follower if that was a bad sign. The follower said, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. In the end, the finger of the king was too bad that had to be cut.
The king asked the follower again if that was a bad sign. Again, the follower gave the same answer, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. The king became very angry and sent the follower to prison.

One day, the king went hunting in the jungle. He got excited when he was on the chase of a deer. Deeper and deeper he went inside the jungle. In the end he found himself lost in the jungle. To make thing worse, he got captured by the native people lived inside the jungle. They wanted to sacrifice him to their god. But when they noticed that the king had one finger short, they released him immediately as he was not a perfect man anymore and not suitable for sacrifice.

The king managed to get back to his palace after all. And he finally understood the follower's wise quote, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. If he hadn't lost one finger, he could have been killed by the native people. He ordered to release the follower, and apologized to him. But to the king amaze, the follower was not mad at him at all. Instead, the follower said, 'It wasn't a bad thing that you locked me up.' Why? Because if the king hadn't locked the follower up, he would have brought the follower along to the jungle. If the native found that the king was not suitable, they would have used the follower. Again, the quote 'Good or bad, hard to say' stands.

The moral of the story is that everything that happens in this world, there is no absolute good or bad. Sometimes good things turned out to be bad things eventually, while bad things become a gain. Whatever good things that happen to you, enjoy it, but don't have to hold too tight to it, treat it as a surprise in your life. Whatever bad things that happen to you, don't have to feel too sad or despair, in the end, it might not be a total bad thing after all. If one can understand this, he or she will find life much easier.

三年

有三個人要被關進監獄三年,監獄長給他們三個一人一個要求。美國人愛抽雪茄,要了三箱雪茄。法國人最浪漫,要一個美麗的女子相伴。而猶太人說,他要一部與外界溝通的電話。三年過後,第一個沖出來的是美國人,嘴?鼻孔?塞滿了雪茄,大喊道:“給我火,給我火!”原來他忘了要火了。接著出來的是法國人。只見他手?抱著一個小孩子,美麗女子手?牽著一個小孩子,肚子?還懷著第三個。最後出來的是猶太人,他緊緊握住監獄長的手說:“這三年來我每天與外界聯系,我的生意不但沒有停頓,反而增長了200%,為了表示感謝,我送你一輛勞施萊斯!”

這個故事告訴我們,今天的選擇決定三年後的生活。今天的生活是由三年前我們的選擇決定的,而今天我們的抉擇將決定我們三年後的生活。我們要選擇接觸最新的信息,了解最新的趨勢,從而更好的創造自己的將來。

一條英文題目

一個英文老師出了一道這樣的難題,題目是這樣子的:

____ is better than the god.

____ is worse than the evil.

if you eat ____,you will die.

(三個空格必須是同一個字) 沒有人答的出來

 


 

結果......

有一個數學老師用數學的方法解出來了

設:

上帝之善是+∞

惡魔之惡是-∞

令所求為x

則x>+∞

x<-∞

∴x屬於空集合

∴x=nothing


answer :

nothing is better than the god.(沒有什麼比上帝更好。)

nothing is worse than the evil. (也沒有什麼比惡魔更壞。)

if you eat nothing, you will die(如果你什麼也沒有吃,那麼你就會死!)

一個懂思考的人

一個女孩走進紐約銀行向行員表示:
「我要到歐洲出差一個月,我想和銀行借五千塊美元。」
銀行經理走向前,拿著一份契約說:「妳必須要有擔保品做抵押。」
女孩交了停放在銀行前的勞斯萊斯汽車鑰匙,
銀行接受那輛車作為擔保品,並且開車到停車場保管。

一個月後,女孩回到紐約銀行,
還了當時借的五千塊美金,並且付了十五塊美金的利息。
銀行經理很困惑的問:
「很開心和妳合作,而且這項交易非常的良好,但我有些問題;
「當妳出差時,我對妳做過調查,發現妳是某家知名企業的總經理,
因此,我非常疑惑為什麼妳要貸款五千塊美金?」
女孩簡單而伶俐的回答:
「紐約哪裡有可以停車一個月,而且還能保障我的車子不受損害,
只要十五塊美金的呢?」

一個懂思考的人,永遠比一個有錢卻沒頭腦的人,更有創意的空間。

一杯鮮奶

一個窮苦學生,為了付學費,挨家挨戶地推銷貨品。到了晚上,發現自己的肚子很餓,而口袋裡只剩下一個小錢。然而當一位年輕貌美的女孩子打開門時,他卻失去了勇氣。他沒敢討飯,卻只要求一杯水喝。女孩看出來他饑餓的樣子,於是給他端出一大杯鮮奶來。他不慌不忙地將它喝下。而且問說,『應付多少錢?』而她的答覆卻是:「你不欠我一分錢。母親告訴我們,不要為善事要求回報 。」於是他說:「那麼我只有由衷地謝謝了」當郝武德·凱禮離開時,不但覺得自己的身體強壯了不少,而且對天主與對人的信心也增強了起來。他原來已經陷入絕境,准備放棄一切的 。數年後,那個年輕女孩病情危急。當地醫生都已束手無策。家人終於將她送進大都市,以便請專家來檢查她罕見的病情。他們請到了郝武德·凱禮醫生來診斷。當他聽說,病人是某某城的人時,他的眼中充滿了奇特的光輝。他立刻穿上醫生服裝,走向醫院大廳,進了她的病房。醫生一眼就認出了她。他立刻回到診斷室,並且下定決心要盡最大的努力來挽救她的性命。從那天起,他特別觀察她的病情。經過一次漫長的奮斗之後,終於讓她起死回生,戰勝了病魔。最後,批價室將出院的帳單送到醫生手中,請他簽字。醫生看了帳單一眼,然後在帳單邊緣上寫了幾個字,就將帳單轉送到她的病房裡。她不敢打開帳單,因為她確定,需要她一輩子才能還清這筆醫藥費。但最後她還是打開看了,而且帳單邊緣上的一些東西,特別引起她的注目。她看到了這麼一句話:「一杯鮮奶已足以付清全部的醫藥費!」簽署人:郝武德·凱禮醫生。

青年畫家

有一位青年畫家,在還沒成名前,住在一間狹隘的小房子裡,靠畫人像維生。一天,一個富人經過,看他的畫工細緻,很喜歡,便請他幫忙畫一幅人像。雙方約好酬勞是一萬元。
一個星期後,人像完成了,富人依約前來拿畫。這時富人心裡起了歹念,欺他年輕又未成名,不肯按照原約定付給酬勞金。富人心中想著:「畫中的人像是我,這幅畫如果我不買,那麼絕沒有人會買。 我又何必花那麼多錢來買呢?」
於是富人賴賬,他說只願花三千元買這幅畫。青年畫家傻住了,他從來沒碰過這種事,心裡有點慌,花了許多唇舌,向富人據理力爭,希望富人能遵守約定,做個有信用的人。
「我只能花三千元買這幅畫,你別再囉唆了。」富人認為他居上風。最後,我問你一句,「三千元,賣不賣?」青年畫家知道富人故意賴賬,心中憤憤不平,他以堅定的語氣說:「不賣。我寧可不賣這幅畫,也不願受你的屈辱。今天你失信毀約,將來一定要你付出二十倍的代價。」「笑話,二十倍,是二十萬耶!我才不會笨得花二十萬買這幅畫。」「那麼,我們等著瞧好了。」青年畫家對悻悻然離去的富人說。
經過這一個事件的刺激後,畫家搬離了這個傷心地,重新拜得名師,日夜苦練。皇天不負苦心人,十幾年後,他終於闖出了一片天地,在藝術界上,成為一位知名的人物。那個富人呢?自從離開畫室後,第二天就把畫家的畫和話淡忘,直到那一天,富人的好幾位朋友不約而同的來告訴他:「好友!有一件事好奇怪喔!這些天我們去參觀一位成名藝術家的畫展,其中有一幅畫不二價,畫中的人物跟你長得一模一樣,標示價格二十萬。好笑的是,這幅畫的標題竟然是--賊。」
富人好像被人當頭打了一棍,富人想起了十多年前畫家的事。這件事對自己傷害太大了,他立刻連夜趕去找青年畫家,向他道歉,並且花了二十萬買回那幅人像畫。青年憑著一股不服輸的志氣,讓富人低了頭。
這個年輕人名叫畢卡索。這給了我 們一個啟示:「人活著要爭氣,不要洩氣,把挫折當成階梯,努力不懈,假以時日,一定會完成心願的!」沒有人能屈辱你,打敗你,除了你自己。

Happiness in a Jar

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full?

They agreed it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more ifthe jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous, "YES".

The professor then picked a bottle of red wine from under the table and proceeded to pour the entire contents into the jar effectively fillingthe empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your health, and your friends - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to care about your health. Go out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, and fix the disposal.

Take care of the rocks first, which represent Jesus and he is really matter. Set your priorities wisely. The rest is just sand.
