RE: A little Message today and Everyday.

Whenever a human being ceases to live for themselves and begins to care about that which is greater than themselves, the personality begins to experience ecstasy, joy and spontaneous liberation. And that's found through doing, through action, through giving, through deeply embracing the human experience.
-- Andrew Cohen

RE: Movies..again!! Pumps you up!!

If you ever want to see a movie that "pumps you up" I highly recommend "Glory".

I just finished watching it for the umpteenth time.

It is a civil war epic about the first black soldiers, and the sacrifices they made. It is based on a true story.

It stars some great actors, Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes, Morgan Freeman and Andre Braugher.

For those of you who have Comcast cable it is in the "on demand" feature in the free movies.

Watch it you won't be disappointed.

Language Lessons

There is a wide and wonderful variety of people on this forum, and many of you speak different languages.

I am curious as to how many different ways are there of saying

"I love You"


When you write it please include the language it is written in.



ex: I love you - American english.

The Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Acheivements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."

-Charles Schultz

What has been your favorite age or time period in your life?

Child? Teens? Early 20's? Late 20's? Early 30's? Late 30's? You get the picture.

What made it so special?

If you are over 40, does wisdom make up for lost youth?

RE: The Modern Way to Cook Popcorn

saw that video on "Good Morning America" and after they investigated the story, it turns out the cell phones did not really cook the popcorn. It is a marketing ploy for a new product coming out soon.

Sorry if I burst anyones bubble.

RE: Movies..again!! Pumps you up!!

Never saw that one, but I did watch "Hanoi Hilton" It made me appreciate the P.O.W.s of Viet Nam all that much more.

RE: Movies..again!! Pumps you up!!

I like any movie where the "good side" triumphs over the "evil side" or where the "underdog" comes out on top.

A few examples:
Star Wars
Rocky
Gladiator
The Shawshank Redemption
Transporter 1 & 2

There are more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

The Ripple Effect

"Each choice we make causes a ripple effect in our lives. When things happen to us, it is the reaction
we choose that can create the difference between the sorrows of our past and the joy of our future."
Unknown

When you drop a pebble into a still pond, you’ll see a splash... You'll notice concentric circles rippling out from the center, where the pebble hit the water. You may watch the ripple travel out in an ever expanding ring...

But, the pebble might also have other effects. As it sinks it might scare a bunch of fish (so appropriate to remember on this site), or frighten a duck enough so that it leaps out of the water. A simple act of throwing the pebble into the pond caused change, and you are connected to the pebble, the water and through the effects of throwing to the fish and the duck.

The term "Ripple Effect" was coined by Jacob Kounin in 1970, to describe the effect teachers may exert on students. The term itself spread beyond the field of education, as it applies to our everyday lives.

Ripple effect reminds us that no action is without reaction, and the ripples, in some cases, may be far-reaching.

As I read through few wonderful posts, I could not help but think of the ways in which people from here (people that I have never met) and the words that they write affect my life and create the ripple effect... whether they know it or not.

Our thoughts and our actions are like that pebble, dropped into still waters, in as much as they create ripples that spread and expand outwards. What we think and what we do affects the people in our lives and their reactions in turn affect others... they all add to the ripple.

So, what I would like to ask of you is to think about the ways in which you were a pebble that initiated changes, or about the ways in which the ripples affected you.

Each of us has a capacity to change the world in small ways for better or worse. The choices that we make have real consequences, in our own lives and in lives of others. I would like to hear about the people whose words or actions changed your world, as well as about the ways in which you have impacted others... in this pond, or outside of it - in real life.
