Thoughtful Words (Part II)

Relax..and read this slowly..

I Believe....
That you can keep going long after
you think you can't.

I Believe....
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude
or it controls you.

I Believe....
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.

I Believe....
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing
and still have the best time..

I Believe....
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you
when you'redown will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry, but that
doesn't give me the right

to be cruel.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with

what types of experiences you've had And what you've learned from them

and less to do with

how many birthdays you've celebrated.

Scales of Measurement

The picture below captures the comparison of various measurement scales used by US and rest of the world  beautifully in a pictorial representation and is self explanatory...

Paraprosdokians

A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.

Thoughful Words...(Part I)

Relax...and read this slowly...

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.

I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you,
every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe.....
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe....
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with Loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
