Educations - The Great Rabbi

When a rabbi stepped up replacing his father, everyone started to say that he was not like his father at all.

"On the contrary", he said. "I am exactly like father. He never pretended to be anyone else. I never pretended to be anyone else either."

Educations - How To Be A Writer

A group of university students dearly requested Lewis Sinclair to give them a lecture. They told him that all of them wanted to be a writer.

Lewis Sinclair granted the request and he started the lecture by asking, "Who among all of you really want to be a writer?" All of the audiences raised their hands.

Lewis Sinclair continued by packing all of his notes into his pockets and saying "Then, there is no use of me speaking here. Just let me advise you to go home and write, write, and write ..." while walking out from the room.

Educations - Cats In The Cradle (Lyric)

My child arrived just the other day;
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it.
And as he grew he said,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

Chorus :
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
"When you comin' home ?"
"Son, I don't know when.
We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said , "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
Could you teach me to throw ?" I said, "Not today.
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay."
And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
"You know,
I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him."

Chorus

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while ?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please ?"

Chorus :

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
"When you comin?home, Son ?"
"I don't know when.
We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
"I'd like to see you, if you dont mind."
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you."

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Chorus

Human Nature - The Final Analysis

People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self centered ...
forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives ...
be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and make some true enemies ...
succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you, ...
be honest and frank anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
people may be jealous ...
be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow ...
do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and even that may never be enough ...
give it anyway.


You see
in the final analysis,
its all between you and God,
it was never between you and them anyway!

Relationships - Something To Show

A Priest asked one of the new and young nuns to see him in his bedroom as soon as possible. After her chores, she finally arrived and knocked on the Priest's door. The priest opened the door and smiled as he saw the nun.

The nun asked, "What can I do for you Father?" The Priest asked her to go inside and said, "I need to show you something". She followed the priest into his bedroom but stopped as she saw the Priest was closing the curtains in the room.

The priest said excitingly “Quick, help me by closing the door behind you and also the other curtains”. The young nun was shocked and said, “WHAT?”

The Priest replied, “Well, I was asking you to help me with the door and the curtains,” “I, I thought I must have heard you wrong,” the nun said. “Well, you haven’t, I asked you to close the door and all the curtains, because I have something to show you.” Afraid and confused as the nun was, she did all the things asked by the Priest.

The room was filled with amber colored rays as the sunlight was filtered by curtains. The Priest lightly went to his bed, slipped under the bed cover and said “Now, come here beside me.” The young nun replied, “Please Father, I don’t think this is appropriate.”

“Well, you think this isn't, but I think this is perfect. How else can we do it better?” said the Priest thoughtfully. The nun sat beside him as curiosity got the best of her. The Priest pulled a large blanket to cover them.

Darkness fell as the blankets cover their whole bodies. The young nun could feel her heart was beating faster. The Priest whispered, "Here closer to me." And as she got nearer to him the Priest said, "This is my new G-Shock glow-in-the-dark watch..."
