What is the difference between men and women?

2. Men wake up as good-looking as when they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

3. A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't want.

4. A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

5. There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman- before and after marriage.

6. A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

7. To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

8. Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

9. A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

10. Women look at a wedding as the beginning of romance, while men look at a wedding as the ending of romance.

~Algorithm to Calculate Your Age~

This is pretty neat
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST
It takes less than a minute.......

Work this out as you read.

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! U won't
cheat
urself, will u?

This is not one of those waste-of-time things; it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to
have
dinner out (try for more than once but less than 10).

2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold).

3. Add 5 (for Sunday).

4. Multiply it by 50 - I'll wait while you get the
calculator................

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1753.... If you
haven't, add 1752..........

6. Now subtract the four-digit year that you were born.

You should have a three-digit number....

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times
you
want to have eat out each week.)

The next two numbers are...

Formula for Success

A small truth to make our Life's 100% successful..........
If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is equal to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26


Then H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

L+O+V+E=12+15+22+5=54%

L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%

(None of them makes 100%)


...............................

Then what makes 100%

Is it Money? ..... No!!!!!

Leadership? ...... NO!!!!

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps

change our "ATTITUDE".

It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes

OUR Life 100% Successful..

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

Don't you think so?!?!?!


NOOOOOOOOO, I DONT THINK SO,

SUCCESS = CHEATING OTHERS = 3+8+5+1+20+9+14+7 +15+20+8+5+18+19 = 152%
