A good lesson for all of us

A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after
Another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a
Young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he
Immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to
Bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know
What to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and
Pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine
Lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for
Ten thousand dollars.
"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"
So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."
The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer...... ......... ....... $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.......... ......... ...... $ 9, 998.00 ***

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the
Difference!*

Shocked to know ... AIDS spread like this also

Dear All,
It's in INDIA - Karnataka - Bangalore

A 10 year old boy, had eaten pineapple about 15 days back, and fell
sick, from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check
done...... doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS.
His parents couldn't believe it...Then the entire family under went a
checkup... none of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked
again with the boy if he had eaten out.....The boy said 'Yes'. He had
pineapple that evening. Immediately a group from the hospital went to
the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had a
cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple; his blood had spread
into the fruit.

When they had his blood checked...the guy was suffering from
AIDS...but he himself was NOT aware. Unfortunately the boy is now
suffering from it.
Please take care while u eat on the road side (particularly tasty
Vadapav & Paani Puri) and pls fwd this mail to your dear one's..

TAKE CARE

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ALL THE PERSONS YOU KNOW AS YOUR MESSAGE MAY
SAVE ONE'S LIFE !!!!!

What is love & Marriage

This is nice explanation. read this.

A student asks a teacher: What is love?

The teacher said: in order to answer your question, go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the field, go Thru first row, he saw one big paddy, but he wonders....
may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one...
But may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field,
he starts to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knows he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, THIS IS LOVE...
you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person!!!
The student asked: What is marriage then?
The teacher said: In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and came back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn....
You look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get....

DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE THIS MUCH

 DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE THIS MUCH?

A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road on a motorcycle...

Girl: Slow down. Im scared.

Guy: No this is fun.

Girl: No its not.. Please, its too scary!

Guy: Then tell me you love me.

Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!

Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.

Girl hugs him

Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it on yourself? Its bugging me.

In the paper the next day :( A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on it, but only one had survived.

The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him & felt her hug him one last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die.

If there is anyone in life you love this much, please send this. Forward this to all your good friends on-line to show them that you care.
