Information can tell us everything. It has all the answers. But they are
answers to questions we have not asked, and which doubtless don’t even
arise.
Think over it...

Arthur Ashe,
the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS, which he got due to
infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world
over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why
does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this
Arthur Ashe replied: The world over – 50 million children start playing
tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, half million learn professional
tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach
Wimbledon, 4 to semi finals, 2 to the finals. When I was holding a cup
high, I never asked GOD, "Why me?" And today in pain I should not be
asking GOD, "Why me?" |

U.N. Survey
It is very important in
communication that the person to whom you are communicating understands
it clearly. An example for communication failure is a worldwide survey
that was conducted by the United Nations. The only question asked was:
'Would you please give your
honest
opinion about solutions
to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?'
The survey was a huge failure, because;
In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what 'honest' meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant.
In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant.
In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant.
And in the USA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant.
Three Facts
The world leader refused to ever brush his teeth:
Mao Zedong of China. Instead, he rinsed his
mouth with tea and chewed the leaves. Why brush? "Does a tiger brush his
teeth?" argued Mao. Chairman Mao also loved to chain-smoke English
cigarettes, when his doctor asked him to cut down, he explained that
"smoking is also a form of deep-breathing exercise, don't you think?"
The significant about
the times of Mark Twain's birth and death:
His real name was Samuel Langhorne
Clemens, pen name Mark Twain - an American author and humorist was born
on November 30, 1835. He was born when Halley's Comet was visible in the
sky over Florida, Missouri. Mark Twain predicted in 1909 that he would
die when it returned. He was right. When Mark Twain died on April 21,
1910, Halley's Comet was once again visible in the sky.

4 Cell Phone Secrets
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself
out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number
112
can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
Locked your keys in the car?
If you lock your keys in the car, call someone at home on
their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot
from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock
button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will
unlock.
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys
*3370#. Your cell phone will restart with its reserve power and the
instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get
charged when you charge your cell phone next time.
Disable a stolen mobile phone
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, press *#06#. A 15-digit code
will appear on the
screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it
somewhere safe.
When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give
them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if
the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You
probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever
stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there
would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
