Failure is not fatal
It is the courage to continue that counts.

Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this...
101%
>From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:
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 represented as:
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.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?" Richness answered, " I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere." Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please." "I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat." Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you." Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now." Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?" "It was Time", Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
妻子是个小尾巴,我走到哪里她都要问到哪里 。我
厌烦,她却乐此不疲。可是,这 个小尾巴却在那个
下着大雨的深夜永 远消失了……
我的心情非常难过,内 心充满了内疚和痛楚,我无
法原谅自 己的过错。
结婚那天, 老婆用买戒指的钱给我买了一款手机。
那天夜里,我们两人在被窝里一遍遍地调试 着手机
的响铃。
我们觉得, 生活就像这铃声,响亮、悦耳,充满着
憧憬和希望。
从那天开始 ,我常常接到她的电话:“老公,下班
了买点菜回家。”“老公,我想你,我爱你 。
”“老公,晚上一起去妈妈家吃饭 ”我的心里十分温
暖。
有一次,我忘了给手机充电,又恰好陪领 导到基
层,应酬到半夜才回到家,推 开房门一看,我发现
老婆早已哭红了 眼睛。
原来从我下班时间 开始,她每隔一刻钟就打一次
电话, 我都不在服务区。老婆更加着急,总以为发
生了什么意外,
后来每隔十分 钟打一次,直到我推开家门,她刚把
话筒放下。我对老婆的小题大做不以为然:“ 我又
不是小孩子,还能出什么事情? ”
老婆却说有一种预感,觉得我不接 电话就不会回来
了,我拍拍老婆的脑 袋,笑了:“傻瓜!”
不过,从此以 后我一直没有忘记及时给手机充电。
后来我升了职,有了钱,手机换 了好几个。突
然有一天,我想起欠着 老婆的那枚戒指,便兴冲冲
地拉她去 商厦。
可是她又犹豫了,说:“白金 钻戒套在手指上有什
么用啊?给我买 个手机好吗?我可以经常跟你联
系。 ”于是我就给她买了一个手机。
那天,我们一个在卧室,一个在客厅 ,互相发
着短信息,玩得高兴极了。
一天夜里,我和同事到 朋友家玩牌,正玩在兴
头上,老婆打 来了电话:“你在哪里?怎么还不回
家?”“我在同事家里玩牌。
”“你 什么时候回来?”“呆会儿吧。”输了赢,赢
了输,老婆的电话打了一次又一次。
外面下起了大雨,老婆的电话又响了 :“你究竟在
哪里?在干什么?快回 来!”
“没告诉你吗?我在同事家玩 ,下这么大的雨我怎么
回去!”“那 你告诉我你在什么地方,我来接
你! ”“不用了!”
一起打牌的朋友都嘲 笑我“妻管严”,一气之下,
我把手 机关了。
天亮了,我输 得两手空空,朋友用车子把我送
回家 ,不料家门紧锁,老婆不在家。就在这时,电
话响了,是岳母打来的,
电 话那头哭着说:她深夜冒着雨出来,骑着自行
车,带着雨伞去我同事家找,找了一 家又一家,路
上出了车祸,再也没有 醒来。
她走在找我的路上,永远不会 再醒来了。
