“Confidence comes not from always being right but not fearing to be wrong”

A man was leaving a cafe with his morning coffee when he noticed amost unusual funeral procession. A funeral coffin was followed by a
second one about 50 feet behind the first. Behind the second coffin was a solitary man walking with a black dog. Behind him was a queue of
200 men walking in single line. The man couldn't stand his curiosity.
He approached the man walking with the dog, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this with so many of you walking in single line. Whose
funeral is it?"
The man replied, "Well, that first coffin is for my wife."
"What happened to her?"
The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."
He inquired further, "Well, who is in the second coffin?"
The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog attacked and killed her also."
A thoughtful moment of silence passes between the two men. Then the first one asks in excitement "Can I borrow the dog?"
The man replied "Join the queue."

Every man passes his "life" search in the friendship...!
A decent boldness ever meets with friends...!
A true friend is the best possession...!
A word to say, a word to hear Even in Ur absence i feel u near R relation is strong..hope it goes long v will remain d same til d life goes on!
Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend.
At every single moment of one's life, one is going to be no less than what one has been...!
Be who you want ; not what others want you to see...!
Chance makes our parents, but choice makes our friends...!
Every time i miss you, a star falls. So if you ever look up at the sky and the stars are gone, its because you made me miss you too much !
Friends are like millions... shall i tell u why?...... To find one good..... U must a Hundred try...!
Friendship is neither a formality nor a mode: it is rather a life....!
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.....!
Friendship, peculiar boon of Heaven, The noble mind's delight and pride, To men and angels only given, To all the lower world denied...!
God is clever, but not dishonest...!
Great friendship is never without anxiety...!
Here's a toast to someone who's truly a best friend - a person who goes around telling good things behind your back...!
I am always very HAPPY to see your smiling face...!
I can't believe that God plays dice with the universe...!
I didn't noticed how enthusiastic is the World, until you touched my heart...!
I go to sleep with a smile because I go to sleep thinking of u ...!
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough...!
I will try my best never to make you CRY and if you do I'll always be there for you...!
I"ll never let u go !
If i were a tear in ur eye i would roll down to Ur lips.But if u were a tear in my eye i would never cry as i would be afraid 2 lose u..!
If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be no help...!
Imagination is more important than knowledge...!
It is not enough to succeed, a friend must fail...!
Last night , thinking of u, one tear rolled out, i asked why r u out? Tear said there is someone so beautiful in Ur eyes, now there is no place for me...!
Life is a book we all read it.
Live 4 d person ho dies 4u, Smile 4 d person ho cries 4u, Fight 4 d person ho protects u, n luv d person ho Luvs u more than u..!
Man's best support is a very dear friend...!
Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life, I find...!
One Day You'll Turn Around And See Just How Much You Hurt Me...!
Only a life lived for others is a life worth while...!
Sadness and gladness succeed each other...!
Sadness flies on the wings of the morning, and out of the heart of darkness comes the light...!
The richer your friends, the more they will cost you...!
The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy...!
Think how different things would be If you never met the person who changed everything...!
Though we are very far apart, but somehow I always feel you near my heart...!
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world...!
We die as often as we lose a friend...!
When I look at you, you take my breath away...!
When I Look In To Mirror I See My Half View Because You Are Not There ...!
Whenever I miss U, I wont luck 4u in my dreams or try 2 hear Ur voice in Ur mags. I"ll just put my right hand across my chest n feel U!
Without the dark, we would never see the stars...!
You One Day You Will Want Me And I Wont Want You...!
You're the only reason I even try in life...!
Good Morning!
The Story Behind Mother’s Day
By Kimberly Stephenson
It is that time of year again, when Hallmark is flourishing in a surplus of cards, spa salons sell out of gift certificates, and whimsical slogans are being sung in order to celebrate the women of all women … mothers. This year mother’s day falls on May 13,2012. Mothers around the United States will be preparing for a day of relaxation and appreciation by their friends, families, and loved ones. Though many women reap the benefits of having a day solely dedicated to motherhood, it is not often that people take a step back, and question how this “holiday” came into practice. Mother’s Day may seem like a courteous gesture to honor the dedication and labor that goes into motherhood, but on the contrary the idea for this holiday actually began in the ancient times of the Greeks and has religious affiliation. Ancient Romans celebrated a spring festival in dedication to a mother goddess. The original term “mothering day” (though still used in England) was in reference to honoring the Virgin Mary during the times of Lent. Lent falls on a different Sunday of March every year, which is why the British still celebrate their Mother’s Day in March. Here in the United States, we became quite fond of the British suggestion to celebrate mothers. After the idea was put into place, a woman named Julia Ward Howe, who was a civil war activist, petitioned for a Day of Peace and observance in 1872. She had been proclaiming the necessity for this day with the intentions to promote womanhood. Her underlying meaning behind the ordinance that would declare June 2nd as Mother’s Day, was to unite women in warfare. After a passionate fight, and fearless perseverance, the idea of having a Mother’s Day finally spread throughout the nation and now is heavily practiced throughout the United States and worldwide. Mother’s Day began with uniting woman in warfare but it has slowly transpired into a commercial-driven holiday as most franchises and business feed off of the marketing behind the holiday for a spike in revenue. Due to Julia’s extreme efforts to fight for women around the world, every mother can smile and give a silent thank you for being appreciated. This Mother’s Day, hopefully every mom in the United States is putting her feet up and enjoying as everyone else tries to survive a day in her shoes. Happy Mother’s Day!
