Words of Wisdom from a Life of Experience………..

What a difference a sad event in someone's life makes.

GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died…)

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent…and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

某大俠為其八達通卡增值了幾百元，因他經常行走江湖，用錢比較多；但之後用卡付款卻發覺在卡機上顯示的餘數是很少，莫非扣錯數？但且慢，不要輕舉妄動，先保留單據以便日後追查；可是當他再次出招並把八達通卡放在卡機上，餘數又顯示還有幾百元，奇怪？！；他以為一切回覆正常了，但第三次出卡，是在便利店交費，便利店小二說部機顯示張卡的餘額不夠，但不可能吧，張卡明明有幾百元的，是張卡消失了功力嗎？還是入了黑店？但便利店是查不到張卡有沒有壞的，於是小二建議他去地鐵站找大師驗查張卡。

當他去到地鐵站，正想拿張卡出來給地鐵站大師時，霎時間晴天霹靂，原來張卡下面還有另一張八達通卡。
