One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out
what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered
up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly..
Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something
amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,
he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up
over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.

Can you guess what this is?
It's a hard disk drive back in 1956... With 5 MB of storage.
In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first 'SUPER' computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data.
Do you appreciate your 4 GB memory stick a little more now?
The Nike Effect!!!
No doubt you have seen the flashy Nike advert during the World Cup. Entitled 'Write the future', it imagines the future in the event of success or failure for a number of key, big name players.
No doubt you have seen the flashy Nike advert on the telly during the World Cup. Entitled 'Write the future', it imagines the future in the event of success or failure for a number of players.
Nike launched its TV ad for the 2010 World Cup, it featured some of the world's top football players and Homer Simpson and had a great soundtrack by Dutch prog rockers Focus.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Fabio Cannavaro, Franck Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott feature along with cameo appearances from Kobe Bryant and Homer Simpson.
But let's tear apart the advert and what the message meant and see what happened to each of the 'stars'.
The ad for example features Wayne Rooney giving the ball away in the last minute and is then pictured living in a trailer park, sporting a dirty vest and a long bushy beard. But Rooney chases back and executes a perfect tackle. Cue footage of a meeting with The Queen, and a hospital ward full of babies called Wayne.
Ronaldinho started the curse by not even getting in the Brazilian squad, although he has probably enjoyed the World Cup more than most lazing on a beach.
Didier Drogba broke his arm in a friendly warm-up match then struggled through a fruitless campaign for Ivory Coast who were knocked out at the group stage.
Franck Ribery was meant to be France's big star, but became a leading protagonist in the incredible mutiny that consumed Les Bleus; appearing on the TV to claim he was not a trouble-maker one minute, refusing to train the next. He went home early with the rest of the team.
Fabio Cannavaro looked a mere shadow of his former self. He was humiliated by tiny New Zealand and Slovakia and led his Italy side to a humiliating first-round exit along with the French.
Wayne Rooney wore a face like a scowl throughout the tournament , played like a man several divisions below Premier League status let alone world class and went out in the second round. Maybe he wanted to live in a caravan eating cold beans and sporting a Worzel Gummidge beard.
Cristiano Ronaldo, is out after his Portugal side lost to Spain - the third time in four matches they had failed to score. His World Cup failed to ignite at all.
Write the future? I think these guys have pretty much wrapped up their futures! Oh, and what about Homer Simpson? DOH! what's he going to do?

Believe it or not....This world cup is already determined by the numbers....
1. Brazil won the World Cup in 1994; before that they also won in 1970. Adding 1970 + 1994= 3964
2. Argentina won its last World Cup in 1986; before that they also won In 1978. Adding 1978 + 1986= 3964
3. Germany won its last World Cup in 1990; before that they also won In 1974. Adding 1974 + 1990= 3964
4. Brazil also won the World Cup in 2002; before that they also won in 1962. Adding 1962+ 2002= 3964
5. Therefore if you want to know what nation is going to win the World Cup in 2010, you only have to subtract 2010 from the magic number that we Have determined: 3964 minus 2010 = 1954... In 1954 the World Cup was Won by Germany!!!
