As long as we have hope, we have direction,
the energy to move, and the map to move by.

We have a hundred alternatives,
a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams.

Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
Hopeless, we are lost forever.

  Some interesting things about TV

Many people think that television encourages passive enjoyment. It is easy to sit in an armchair watching others working. Little by little, television cuts you off from the real world. Besides, a lot of programmes are even dangerous for child's development.
Many Americans are worried by the amount of violence their children see on television. In response to citizens' complaints and pressure from the Congress, the four major TV networks6 — ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox — agreed in 1993 to inform parents of violent content at the beginning of a programme, and cable networks have agreed to give similar warnings. In 1996, the commercial and cable networks made another step and established a rating system, based on the amount of violence and bad language that a programme contains. A symbol indicating the show's rating appears on the television screen at the beginning of and during the programme.
Beginning in 1998 new television sets in the United States are equipped with a «V-chip», a device that gives parents opportunity to block out programmes they would not like their children to see.

Circumstances or people can…
Take away your material possessions,
They can take away your money,
They can take away your health.

But no one can ever take away your precious memories.
So don’t forget to make memories.
Every day! Every moment!

 We Walk By Faith, Not Sight. Do You Believe ?? One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children.

The teacher asked a little boy: “Tommy do you see the tree outside?”
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That’s my point. We can’t see God because he isn’t there. He doesn’t exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: “Tommy, do you see the tree outside?”

TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!

Everyone wants to change the way world is.
Everyone wants to see the world happy.

But no one realises that.,
To make this world a happy place to live.,
You have to change yourself - your heart;
… and not the world.
