Why I'm glad to be a girl




* We got off the Titanic first.

* There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

* We have enough sense to realize that the easiest way to get out of being lost is to ask for directions.

* We don't have to fart to amuse ourselves.

* We get to flirt with systems support men who always return our calls, and are nice to us when we blow up our computers.

* Our boyfriend's clothes make us look elfin & gorgeous. Guys look like complete idiots in ours.

* Men die earlier, so we get to cash in on the life insurance.

* Free drinks, Free dinners, Free movies ... ( You got the point? ).

* We can hug our friends without wondering if she thinks we're gay.

* We can hug our friends without wondering if WE'RE gay!

* We can congratulate our team-mate without ever touching her butt.

* We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.

If you want true wealth

Remember what is the most important.

It's not having everything go right;
it's facing whatever goes wrong.

It's not being without fear;
it's having the determination to go inspite of it.

It is not where you stand,
but the direction you're going in.

It's more than never having bad moments;
it's knowing you are always bigger than the moment.

It's believing you have already been given everything you need to handle life.

It's not being able to rid the world of of all its injustice;
it's being able to rise above them.

It's the belief in your heart that there will always be more good than bad in the world.

Remember to live just this one day and bed tomorrow's troubles to today's load.
Remember that everyday does and brings a new tomorrow full of exciting new things.

Love what you do, do the best you can, and always remember how much you are loved.

The art of taking time to live

To get the most out of our life we must take time to live as well as to make a living.
We must practice the art of filling our moments with enriching experiences that will give new depth to our lives.
We should take time for good books.
Time to absorb the thought of poets and philosophers, seers and prophets.
Time for music that washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Time for friendship; time for talks by the fire and walks beneath the stars.
Time for laughter; time for letting go and filling the heart with mirth.
Time for travel; time for pilgrimage and festival and shrine and exhibit, for rock bound coast and desert mountain and plain.
Time for nature; time for flower gardens, trees, birds, and sunsets.
Time to love and be loved for love is the greatest thing in the world.
Time for people; time for the interplay of personalities and the interchange of ideas.
Time for solitude; time to be quiet and alone and to look within.
Time to give ourselves, our talents, abilities, devotion and convictions that we may contribute to the onward march of humanity.
Time for worship; time for opening our lives to God's infinite springs of vitality, that we may live more abundantly.
In all ways let us make our moments glow with life.
Let us pray as did Matthew Arnold: Calm.
Calm of more, nor let of die, before I have begun to live.
