給你一個故事，希望你能喜歡.
一天,一個盲人帶著他的導盲犬過街時,一輛大卡車失去控制,直沖過來,盲人當場被撞死,他的導盲犬為了守衛主人,也一起慘死在車輪底下。
主人和狗一起到了天堂門前。
一個天使攔住他倆,為難地說:“對不起,現在天堂只剩下一個名額,你們兩個中必須有一個去地獄。”
主人一聽,連忙問:“我的狗又不知道什么是天堂,什么是地獄,能不能讓我來決定誰去天堂呢？”
天使鄙視地看了這個主人一樣,皺起了眉頭,她想了想,說:“很抱歉,先生,每一個靈魂都是平等的,你們要通過比賽決定由誰上天堂。”
主人失望地問:“哦,什么比賽呢？”
天使說:“這個比賽很簡單,就是賽跑,從這里跑到天堂的大門,誰先到達目的地,誰就可以上天堂。不過,你也別擔心,因為你已經死了,所以不再是瞎子,而且靈魂的速度跟肉體無關,越單純善良的人速度越快。”
主人想了想,同意了。
天使讓主人和狗準備好,就宣布賽跑開始。她滿心以為主人為了進天堂,會拼命往前奔,誰知道主人一點也不忙,慢吞吞地往前走著。更令天使吃驚的是,那條導盲犬也沒有奔跑,它配合著主人的步調在旁邊慢慢跟著,一步都不肯離開主人。
天使恍然大悟:原來,多年來這條導盲犬已經養成了習慣,永遠跟著主人行動,在主人的前方守護著他。可惡的主人,正是利用了這一點,才胸有成竹,穩操勝券,他只要在天堂門口叫他的狗停下就可以了。
天使看著這條忠心耿耿的狗,心里很難過,她大聲對狗說:“你已經為主人獻出了生命,現在,你這個主人不再是瞎子,你也不用領著他走路了,你快跑進天堂吧!” 可是,無論是主人還是他的狗,都像是沒有聽到天使的話一樣,仍然慢吞吞地地往前走,好像在街上散步似的。
果然,離終點還有幾步的時候,主人發出一聲口令,狗聽話地坐下了,天使用鄙視的眼神看著主人。 這時,主人笑了,他扭過頭對天使說:“我終于把我的狗送到天堂了,我最擔心的就是它根本不想上天堂,只想跟我在一起……所以我才想幫它決定,請你照顧好它。”
天使愣住了。
主人留戀地看著自己的狗,又說:“能夠用比賽的方式決定真是太好了,只要我再讓它往前走幾步,它就可以上天堂了。
不過它陪伴了我那么多年,這是我第一次可以用自己的眼睛看著它,所以我忍不住想要慢慢地走,多看它一會兒。如果可以的話,我真希望永遠看著它走下去。不過天堂到了,那才是它該去的地方,請你照顧好它。”
說完這些話,主人向狗發出了前進的命令,就在狗到達終點的一剎那,主人像一片羽毛似的落向了地獄的方向。他的狗見了,急忙掉轉頭,追著主人狂奔。滿心懊悔的天使張開翅膀追過去,想要抓住導盲犬,不過那是世界上最純潔善良的靈魂,速度遠比天堂所有的天使都快。
所以導盲犬又跟主人在一起了,即使是在地獄,導盲犬也永遠守護著它的主人。
天使久久地站在那里,喃喃說道:“我一開始就錯了,這兩個靈魂是一體的,他們不能分開……”
最后，我要說：這個世界上,真相只有一個,可是在不同人眼中,卻會看出不同的是非曲直。這是為什么呢？
其實,道理很簡單,因為每個人看待事物,都不可能站在絕對客觀公正的立場上,而是或多或少地戴上有色眼鏡,用自己的經驗、好惡和道德標準來進行評判,結果就是——我們看到了假象。
"友誼的幸福之一，是知道了可以向誰傾吐秘密。"如果你收到了這封信，是因為有人在默默的祝福你，因為你也愛你身邊的一些人。
如果你總說太忙，不能將這封信轉寄出去，老是說："改天再寄。"你將永遠都不會去做這件事的。
所以，不要找借口，靜心的看看這篇古老印度來的故事，然后決定為你的朋友們作一些事，從傳寄這封信開始。當你說："你是我的好朋友"時，請認真的說出來。當你道歉時請看著對方的眼睛。
永遠不要嘲笑別人的夢想。不要隨便給一個人定性。說話時要慢，思想時要快。 打電話的時候請你微笑，對方一定感覺得到。
你看到了嗎？我在默默的祝福你。*^_^*

STRESS KILLs
STRESS KILLs. Think about it ANGER, WORRYs, GRIEF & getting PARANOID over every little thing - KILLs
A friend's father who is a retiree in his mid-60s, is perfectlyhealthy looking and behaving normal, plays his round of golf each Sunday,does a fair bit of gardening, keeps himself busy the rest of his timehelping his son's (my friend's) little retail business, and goes ontour/trips every now and then ......
He was persuaded by his daughters and other well wishers to go for Hismedical checkup which he had last done before retirement some 10 years ago.He didn't see the need to do it as he was feeling perfectly ok and healthy.Of course he didn't want to spend the money. After persistent persuasionfrom his family he finally gave in (his daughters agreed to foot the bill).
First his blood test revealed a total cholesterol count well above the 5.2threshold (in fact close to 6). The doctor advised that he went for hisstressed ECG test.
Again he had to be persistently persuaded to go thru that test, which hedid. And it revealed some abnormality with his heart.
Now the doctor advised that he went thru angiogram. He resisted again andagain after much pestering he subscribed to that invasive test.....whichrevealed three (3) blockages in his heart. And the doctor advised he wentthru angioplasty.
This time he was adamant not to go any further.. But it was like the end ofthe world for his family members who were all highly educated people withlearned common sense. They went thru the highest mountains and deepestoceans to convince the old man to go thru angioplasty.
The surgery was successful. And he was given a clean bill of health. Hisheart is revitalized and cleared of all blockages. After returning Homefrom the hospital, his family (especially his daughters) put him on a"healthy" diet.. Strictly no meat...only vegetables and fruits, with perhapsan occasional dish of steamed fish... no oil.
The result.... the poor old man became weaker, couldn't drive his golf ballthe distance he used to, got tired easily when he did his gardening, lost alot of weight (which everyone was happy because they see him gettinghealthier that way), went to bed unusually early ('cause he got tiredsitting up late watching the sports channels).... in a nutshell he actuallygot weaker and probably suffering from mal-nutrition!
Hardly 2 months after the angioplasty he passed away, supposedly from Heartcomplications.. All of a sudden, a few family doctor friends were able tooffer explanations. One of them had this to say...
Heart blockages do not happen over-night. They are built up of time. Andthe body has somehow gotten used to the blockages. As long as the effectsof the blockages are not life threatening, it may be best leaving themalone. Maybe it is better not to know about this. For most men at thatadvanced age already have blockages, some may be even worse. Not knowing ithas one clear advantage. There won't be any STRESS imposed on the person.
STRESS KILLs
Some may not respond well with angioplasty. With the heart cleared of itsblockages, the blood flow will be unrestricted. And sometimes the body(even the heart may not be used to this new revitalized condition) may notknow how to cope with it quick enough. Coupled with a "healthy" diet ofjust fruits and vegetables which are not the usual and normal intake ofthis person, may and can do further damage.
So it's a combination of all these that could have killed this poor old manwho was, just 2 months ago, a healthy bubbly man living a perfectly normalSTRESS FREE retired life. Today my friend and his siblings all regretted what they had done to theirfather.
Moral of the story is not to be extreme and take everything in life in itsstride and with moderation.
One more thing.... my family doctor, age late 40s, hardly takes meat, agood sportsman, has a total cholesterol count of 6.
Some times it's in the genes. Like this 99 year-old grand old lady in the neighbourhood who lives by herself, does her own marketing, cooks her own food, never eats any meatthat is not fatty all her life, hates lean meat, cholesterol so bloody high.......and she is still alive and kicking and so mentally alert. One thing....she's gotNO STRESS.
She only gives STRESS to all others around her. That's probably why she'sliving alone by herself.
So my friends... Don't get paranoid and stressed up for nothing!!! "

Drinking Cold Water after a meal = Cancer!
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this??
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
