Important body part

My mother used to ask me: "What is the most important part of the body?" Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." Mother said, "No Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon." Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." Mother looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge. Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child." Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hur...

Out of the box thinking gets you more

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it’s raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a dilemma that was once used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The candidate who was hired had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer? He simply answered: “I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behin...

Evolution of Human race

A little girl asked her mother, 'How did the human race come about?' The Mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve; they had children and, so all mankind was made.' A few days later, the little girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys, and we developed from them.' The confused girl returns to her mother and says, 'Mom, how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God , and Papa says we developed from monkeys?' The Mother answers, 'Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about the origin of my side of the family, and your father told you about his side.'

It can make a difference

A Proof of which Gender is Intelligent An English professor wrote the words: "A woman without her man is nothing" on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.. All of the males in the class wrote : "A woman, without her man, is nothing." All the females in the class wrote : "A woman: without her, man is nothing." Punctuations are powerful!!

A different story of an apple

A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Arnav asked him, “If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?”Within a few seconds Arnav replied confidently, “Four!” The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer (three). She was disappointed. “Maybe the child did not listen properly,” she thought. She repeated, “Arnav, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?” Arnav had seen the disappointment on his teacher’s face. He calculated again on his fingers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make the teacher happy. His search for the answer was not for the correct one, but the one that will make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, “Four…” The disappointment stayed on the teacher’s face. She remembered that Arnav liked strawberries. She thought maybe he doesn’t like apples and that is making him loose focus. This time with an...
