Crazy or Stupid ?
Short one... Stay-on & Read... Might provoke us to start thinking, once again >>>

Isn't it a fact of life, that we, and many around us, often behave like the Truck Driver - thinking that others are just stupid. So fellas, though we all are learned and wise, yet let us watch out - there could be some CRAZY guys in our professional/personal lives, who could give us lot of quick fixes - when we need the most !

Moral of the story: Just do not conclude that you know everything and do not judge people by their mere looks / attire / stature OR academic background. One doesn't know when one would need the other... and s/he would probably brush our wisdom too !

A truck driver was doing his usual delivery at a mental hospital, by parking his vehicle beside an open drain.

Upon finishing his task he discovered a flat tyre. He jacked up the truck and removed the flat tyre to fix the spare. When he was about to tie the bolts, he accidentally dropped all of them [all 4 bolts] in the open drain.

As the drain was deep & yucky he was perplexed as to what should be done?

Just then, a patient from the mental facility walked by. Observing the driver's unease he queried as to why he was looking troubled?

The driver thought to himself, since there was nothing much to be done & this joker couldn't help anyway, just to keep the bugger away, he narrated
the whole incident - and gave a helpless/queer look.

The patient just laughed at the truck driver and said, "Hey, you cannot even fix such a simple problem? No wonder you are destined to remain a truck driver for life".

The driver wasn't amused - that too from a mental guy. "Here is what you can do", said the inmate, "Take one bolt from each of the remaining three wheels and fix it on to this one. Then drive down to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones. Isn't it that simple my friend".

The truck driver was now spell-bound. Regaining his composure he asked the patient, "How come Sir, you are so smart and intelligent and yet you are here at the mental hospital?"

The patient replied... "hello friend! I stay here because I am crazy - but not stupid, you see".

Isn't it a fact of life, that we, and many around us, often behave like the Truck Driver - thinking that others are just stupid. So fellas, though we all are learned and wise, yet let us watch out - there could be some CRAZY guys in our professional/personal lives, who could give us lot of quick fixes - when we need the most !

Another real-life example here:

most of u must be aware of 'Susan Boyle' who came to international public attention when she appeared as a contestant on reality TV programme Britain's Got Talent on 11 April 2009, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables.

Just see how the audience and even the judges react when she says she wants to be a singer!, they thought she cant and see what happens at the end.Though she was expected to be the winner of the show,she finished in second place.

* Never Judge By Appearance:

A Salutary Chinese Tale

At the final dinner of an international conference, a delegate turned to the Chinese delegate sitting next to him, pointed to the soup and asked somewhat condescendingly, 'Likee soupee?'
The Chinese gentlemen nodded eagerly.

A little later, it was 'Likee fishee?' and 'Likee meatee?' and 'Likee fruitee?' and always the response was an affable nod.

At the end of the dinner the chairman of the conference introduced the guest speaker of the evening: none other than the Chinese gentleman who delivered a penetrating, witty discourse in impeccable English, much to the astonishment of his American neighbour.

When the speech was over, the speaker turned to his neighbour and with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and asked, 'Likee speechee?'

Brenden Foster (October 4, 1997 – November 21, 2008) was a boy from Bothell, Washington, diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2005. KOMO, a local broadcasting station, reported the story of Brenden's last wish, which was to feed the homeless. He said he wanted to be an angel so he could help the homeless from Heaven. The story inspired many, and prompted attention from national media, even drawing international attention.

The Brenden Foster Food Drive was created by the broadcasting station in his honor. In Seattle, volunteers from the Emerald City Lights Bike Ride passed out over 200 sandwiches to the homeless. Inspired viewers took part in the "Stuff the Truck" food drive in Brenden's honor, filling seven trucks of groceries and $95,000 in cash to benefit the Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline. Brenden's story also reached KOMO's sister station in Portland, Oregon, KATU, which reported actions inspired by Brenden in Los Angeles, Ohio, and Pensacola, Florida. At the Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles, for instance, over 2,500 meals have been served in Brenden's name. His advocacy for the homeless housed in tent cities continues to be remembered. A Vietnam War veteran from Kentucky who lost his leg in the war was so touched by the story, he gave Brenden his purple heart.

The power of Observation

1st year medical students were attending their 1st anatomy class.


They all gathered around the surgery table with a real dead dog.

The Professor started class by telling two important qualities as a Doctor :

The 1st...
"NEVER BE DISGUSTED ON ANYTHING ABOUT 'THE' BODY"

For eg.
He inserted his finger in the dead dog’s mouth & on drawing back "tasted it" in his own mouth.

Then he asked them to do the same.

The students hesitated for several minutes.
But eventually everyone inserted their fingers in dog’s mouth & then tasted it.

When everyone finished,

The Professor looked at them and said :

The most important 2nd quality is "OBSERVATION"...

I inserted my 'Middle finger' but tasted the "Index finger".

Half of the class FAINTED...

Qorax

Oh, did I hear a LOL ?

"The philosophy has changed in how you race for a championship. The whole thrust is on getting into that top 10 to give yourself a chance. Once you get there, luck comes into play, and anything can happen." ~ Elliott Sadler

You are the Philosopher, Qorax!!!

Thanks a lot!

Time is like a river...
You can't touch the same water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Enjoy every moment of life...
-Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest...

...
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no -it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful -it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit -full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season; and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, and fulfillment of your fall.

Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches;
and better times are sure to come sooner or later...
...
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling.
And even more beautiful, is to know that you are the reason behind it !
