			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.</p>
<p>Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.</p>
<p>LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.</p>

An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">It&#8217;s a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don&#8217;t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don&#8217;t understand because you don&#8217;t know enough about them. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are &#8220;in love&#8221; with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Friends are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn&#8217;t need an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Friends are the people who won&#8217;t laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love, regardless of whether you realize it. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Friends are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at the prom and at graduation. They are the people that when you hug them, you don&#8217;t think about how long to hug and who&#8217;s going to be the first one to let go. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are the people who give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry. Maybe they are the people who cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. They are are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica"><font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them. </font></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Review these typical interview questions and think about how you would<br />
answer them. Read the questions listed; you will also find some<br />
strategy suggestions with it.</p>
<p><strong>1. Tell me about yourself:</strong><br />
The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short<br />
statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound<br />
rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise.<br />
Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to<br />
the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest<br />
back and work up to the present.</p>
<p><strong>2. Why did you leave your last job?<br />
</strong>Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major<br />
problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers<br />
or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep<br />
smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an<br />
opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking<br />
reasons.</p>
<p><strong>3. What experience do you have in this field?</strong><br />
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for.<br />
If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.</p>
<p><strong>4. Do you consider yourself successful?</strong><br />
You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good<br />
explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are<br />
on track to achieve the others.</p>
<p><strong>5. What do co-workers say about you?<br />
</strong>Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific<br />
statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith<br />
Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It<br />
is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.</p>
<p><strong>6. What do you know about this organization?<br />
</strong>This question is one reason to do some research on the organization<br />
before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are<br />
going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?</p>
<p><strong>7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?</strong><br />
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide<br />
variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement.<br />
Have some good ones handy to mention.</p>
<p><strong>8. Are you applying for other jobs?</strong><br />
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus<br />
on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is<br />
a distraction.</p>
<p><strong>9. Why do you want to work for this organization?</strong><br />
This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the<br />
research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely<br />
important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term<br />
career goals.</p>
<p><strong>10. Do you know anyone who works for us?</strong><br />
Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This<br />
can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not<br />
relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought<br />
of.</p>
<p><strong>11. What kind of salary do you need?</strong><br />
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if<br />
you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like,<br />
That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?<br />
In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,<br />
say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide<br />
range.</p>
<p><strong>12. Are you a team player?<br />
</strong>You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready.<br />
Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather<br />
than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag,<br />
just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.</p>
<p><strong>13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?</strong><br />
Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I’d like<br />
it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I’m doing a good job.</p>
<p><strong>14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?<br />
</strong>This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you<br />
like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the<br />
right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the<br />
individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the<br />
organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in<br />
force.</p>
<p><strong>15. What is your philosophy towards work?</strong><br />
The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here.<br />
Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That’s the<br />
type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a<br />
benefit to the organization.</p>
<p><strong>16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?<br />
</strong>Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type<br />
of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.</p>
<p><strong>17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?<br />
</strong>If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying<br />
negative things about the people or organization involved.</p>
<p><strong>18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization</strong><br />
You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to<br />
highlight your best points as they relate to the position being<br />
discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.</p>
<p><strong>19. Why should we hire you?<br />
</strong>Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not<br />
mention any other candidates to make a comparison.</p>
<p><strong>20. Tell me about a suggestion you have made<br />
</strong>Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted<br />
and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work<br />
applied for is a real plus.</p>
<p><strong>21. What irritates you about co-workers?<br />
</strong>This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with<br />
anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get<br />
along with folks is great.</p>
<p><strong>22. What is your greatest strength?</strong><br />
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples:<br />
Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability<br />
to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your<br />
professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude</p>
<p><strong>23. Tell me about your dream job.</strong><br />
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you<br />
are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another<br />
job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with<br />
this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something<br />
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and<br />
can’t wait to get to work.</p>
<p><strong>24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?<br />
</strong>Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.</p>
<p><strong>25. What are you looking for in a job?<br />
</strong>See answer # 23</p>
<p><strong>26. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?<br />
</strong>Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization,<br />
violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will<br />
label you as a whiner.</p>
<p><strong>27. What is more important to you: the money or the work?</strong><br />
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is<br />
no better answer.</p>
<p><strong>28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?</strong><br />
There are numerous good possibilities:<br />
Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise,<br />
Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver</p>
<p><strong>29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor</strong><br />
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of<br />
your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former<br />
boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and<br />
develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.</p>
<p><strong>30. What has disappointed you about a job?</strong><br />
Don’t get trivial or negative. Safe areas are few but can include:<br />
Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a reduction Company did<br />
not win a contract, which would have given you more responsibility.</p>
<p><strong>31. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.</strong><br />
You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an<br />
example that relates to the type of position applied for.</p>
<p><strong>32. Do your skills match this job or another job more closely?</strong><br />
Probably this one. Do not give fuel to the suspicion that you may want<br />
another job more than this one.</p>
<p><strong>33. What motivates you to do your best on the job?</strong><br />
This is a personal trait that only you can say, but good examples are:<br />
Challenge, Achievement, Recognition</p>
<p><strong>34. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?</strong><br />
This is up to you. Be totally honest.</p>
<p><strong>35. How would you know you were successful on this job?</strong><br />
Several ways are good measures:<br />
You set high standards for yourself and meet them. Your outcomes are a<br />
success.Your boss tell you that you are successful</p>
<p><strong>36. Would you be willing to relocate if required?<br />
</strong>You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if<br />
you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get<br />
the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems<br />
later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself<br />
future grief.</p>
<p><strong>37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?<br />
</strong>This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about<br />
the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.</p>
<p><strong>38. Describe your management style.<br />
</strong>Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive,<br />
salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions<br />
depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational<br />
style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the<br />
situation, instead of one size fits all.</p>
<p><strong>39. What have you learned from mistakes on the job?<br />
</strong>Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make<br />
it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An<br />
example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and<br />
thus throwing coordination off.</p>
<p><strong>40. Do you have any blind spots?<br />
</strong>Trick question. If you know about blind spots, they are no longer blind<br />
spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern here. Let them do<br />
their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to them.</p>
<p><strong>41. If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for?<br />
</strong>Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have.</p>
<p><strong>42. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?<br />
</strong>Regardless of your qualifications, state that you are very well<br />
qualified for the position.</p>
<p><strong>43. How do you propose to compensate for your lack of experience?<br />
</strong>First, if you have experience that the interviewer does not know about,<br />
bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that you are a hard working<br />
quick learner.</p>
<p><strong>44. What qualities do you look for in a boss?</strong><br />
Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of<br />
humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards. All<br />
bosses think they have these traits.</p>
<p><strong>45. Tell me about a time when you helped resolve a dispute betweenothers.<br />
</strong>Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique<br />
and not the dispute you settled.</p>
<p><strong>46. What position do you prefer on a team working on a project?<br />
</strong>Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.</p>
<p><strong>47. Describe your work ethic.<br />
</strong>Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to<br />
get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.</p>
<p><strong>48. What has been your biggest professional disappointment?<br />
</strong>Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show<br />
acceptance and no negative feelings.</p>
<p><strong>49. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.</strong><br />
Talk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.</p>
<p><strong>50. Do you have any questions for me?<br />
</strong>Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are<br />
examples.</p>

Commitment is making the time when there is none.

No involvement &#8230; no commitment.
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.</p>
<p>Commitment is making the time when there is none.<br />
Coming through time after time.</p>
<p>No involvement &#8230; no commitment.</p>
<p>Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.<br />

<p>A total commitment is paramount to reaching the ultimate in performance.<br />
 Tom Flores<br />
-</p>
<p>I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life&#8217;s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.<br />
 Anthony Robbins<br />
-</p>
<p>The bottom line is that you are in charge of your tiny portion of the world, which includes your family and friends. Don&#8217;t let unhappy memories, pride, busy schedules, or too much focus on your own goals get in the way of one of the most joyful aspects of being alive&#8211;loving and being loved.<br />
Ultimately, nothing else will matter if you don&#8217;t have this.</p>
<p>-</p>
<p>For women, &#8220;I love you&#8221; is the sweetest phrase in the world. But not every man who says it means it. On the other hand, some men may feel it deeply, but still find it hard to say. There are several reasons these words might stick in a man&#8217;s throat. The first is that, quite commonly, men have a difficult time expressing the emotions they feel most deeply. Another reason is the words &#8220;I love you&#8221; might be interpreted as a marriage proposal. So that nothing gets lost in the translation, men with this concern will wait for the time in which they can back up their words with a lifetime commitment.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ANNIVERSARIES<br />
Always celebrate! Whether it&#8217;s the 1st or the 50th, each year together is a triumph.</p>
<p>APPRECIATION<br />
Let each other know how much you appreciate each other. You may already know but hearing it from each other is always better.</p>
<p>BEST FRIENDS<br />
Be best friends preferably before being boyfriend-girlfriend. Take time to know each other so the relationship will be a deep one. Tell each other about your crushes, dreams and problems. Make sure he/she is your best friend before getting engaged. The strong bond of friendship will help you both survive tough times.</p>
<p>BOND<br />
Make it a point to spend time together often but leave room for each other. Also spend time alone w/ each other, so that at the end of the day you could both share your experiences. This way, you stay interesting with your partner.</p>
<p>CHANGING EACH OTHER<br />
Don&#8217;t marry an as&#8230;le, j&#8230;. or a bi&#8230;. (an unsuitable person) You&#8217;ll never change each other.</p>
<p>COMPLIMENTS<br />
Always compliment each other. This will prevent feelings of resentment &#038; thinking that one is being taken for granted.</p>
<p>DATE<br />
Keep doings things that you both enjoy, do them together. Make time &#038; continue to date to keep the romance - look good, smell good to maintain physical attraction</p>
<p>DIFFERENCES<br />
Celebrate differences. Never force your ideologies down each other&#8217;s throat. Give up trying to turn your partner into you. Accept differences, appreciate them.</p>
<p>FIGHTS<br />
Fight w/the aim to resolve the issue. Don&#8217;t outdo each other. The longer you extend the fight. The more chances that you&#8217;ll say something hurtful that you don&#8217;t really mean. As mad as you were w/ your partner, he/she is still the person who laughs at your jokes &#038; thinks you&#8217;re hot. Hear each other out, don&#8217;t dig up old issues. Choose your battles. Make sure the fight will be worth it &#038; that something will change in the relationship as a result of the fight.</p>
<p>FLAWS<br />
Know that the perfect person does not exist. Know that just as there are things that you love about him/her, there will be things that will make you go crazy. We are only human with our own flaws.</p>
<p>FUN<br />
Have fun together! This means keeping the fun &#038; spontaneity that was there in the early days.<br />
Allow yourselves to get silly - shower together, pee w/the door open etc. Being able to make each other laugh &#038; see the lighter, crazier, absurd side is the best way to get through all the differences in personalities, adjustments in lifestyle &#038; opposing viewpoints.</p>
<p>GOALS<br />
Make sure you have similar goals. It would be difficult to keep your bond intact if your views are complete opposite.</p>
<p>GRUDGES<br />
Quit tabulating grudges. Let it off. Discuss it, then trash it, don&#8217;t recycle it.</p>
<p>KEEPING IT HOT<br />
Keep it hot by traveling to diff. places together. A new setting will do wonders. Always have skin contact - be it holding hands, a massage or just plain leg rubbing.</p>
<p>HONESTY<br />
Don&#8217;t lie or hide things. The problem will only get bigger.</p>
<p>KNOW EACH OTHER<br />
Learn each other&#8217;s interest. It really keeps the conversation flowing!</p>
<p>HUG<br />
A hug can be far better more intimate than a kiss.</p>
<p>IDENTITY<br />
Don&#8217;t lose your personality - that&#8217;s why he/she fell in love w/you. Have separate interest &#038; activities to keep your individual, &#038; to be able to contribute more to the relationship.</p>
<p>INDEPENDENCE<br />
Having your own income means you&#8217;re the boss in your life.</p>
<p>IN-LAWS<br />
Make rooms for the in-laws.</p>
<p>INTENTIONS<br />
Wish each other well. Don&#8217;t wish each other worst</p>
<p>ISSUES<br />
Speak up about the awkward stuff now,like money &#038; sex. The earlier, the better.</p>
<p>LISTEN<br />
Listen, listen, listen. Hear each other out especially during arguments.</p>
<p>LOOK GOOD<br />
Mind your appearance! Stay fit &#038; healthy for each other.</p>
<p>LOVE<br />
It all boils down to your love, chemistry &#038; respect for each other.</p>
<p>MEMORIES<br />
Remind each other of the old days. Do something that you used to do for each other before. It may even be corny but it made you two together. Experience new things together- from dining into a new restaurant to experiencing street food together to exploring to new places. It&#8217;s the little surprises that make great memories.</p>
<p>MIND READING<br />
No matter how long you&#8217;ve been together, do not think that you can read each other&#8217;s mind.</p>
<p>NEEDS<br />
Be good to yourself, then be good to your partner. That&#8217;s what love is all about. Think about your partner. Will it make him/her happy? Will she/he enjoy it? Consider each other&#8217;s feelings. Be very attentive &#038; sensitive to each other&#8217;s needs, physically &#038; emotionally, that way your partner learns to do the same for you. Never take your partner for granted.</p>
<p>PRIORITIES<br />
If one says it&#8217;s important, then it is! Prioritize each other among other things!</p>
<p>SPACE<br />
Give each other space. Have dates with your girlfriends, have your boy&#8217;s night out. If you can&#8217;t trust each other with this, then don&#8217;t get married.</p>
<p>SORRY<br />
Say sorry when you&#8217;re wrong.</p>
<p>SURPRISES<br />
No matter how long you&#8217;ve known each other, be open to surprises, both good or bad.</p>
<p>TEAMWORK<br />
Think for two &#038; always work as a team. Consult each other before making a decision because everything will always affect both of you. Strengthen couple power. In many ways, we have to decide based on what is best for the relationship in favor of our individual selves.</p>
<p>SUPPORT<br />
Support each other&#8217;s dream. Be willing to follow your passions, support your partner in his/her decisions &#038; create new ones together. Two heads are better than one.</p>
<p>TALK<br />
Tell each other&#8217;s stories. Life goes by so fast &#038; its easy to see how easily couple can grow apart. Whenever something funny, scary, exciting or juicy happened to you or to someone you know, tell each other about it &#038; have your partner do the same. Keep each other in the loop of life, even by email if you have to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Case 1</p>
<p>When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn&#8217;t work at zero gravity (ink won&#8217;t flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million.<br />
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.</p>
<p>And what did the Russians do&#8230;?? They used a pencil.</p>
<p>Case 2</p>
<p>One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan&#8217;s biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly!  line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the<br />
assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.</p>
<p>But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.</p>
<p>Moral: Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems. Always focus on solutions &#038; not on problems. So the end of the day the thing that really matters is HOW ONE LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day a young woman was standing in the middle of the town<br />
proclaiming that she had the most beautiful heart in the whole<br />
valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired her heart for it<br />
was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all<br />
agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen.<br />
The young woman was very proud and boasted more loudly about her<br />
beautiful heart.</p>
<p>Suddenly, an old woman appeared at the front of the crowd and<br />
said &#8220;Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.&#8221; The crowd<br />
and the young woman looked at the old woman&#8217;s heart. It was<br />
beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had<br />
been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn&#8217;t fit quite<br />
right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places<br />
there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people<br />
stared&#8212;how can she say her heart is more beautiful, they thought?</p>
<p>The young woman looked at the old woman&#8217;s heart and saw its state<br />
and laughed. &#8220;You must be joking,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Compare your heart<br />
with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; said the old woman, &#8220;Yours is perfect looking but I could<br />
never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to<br />
whom I have given my love&#8212;I tear out a piece of my heart and give<br />
it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits<br />
into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren&#8217;t<br />
exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind<br />
me of the love we shared.</p>
<p>Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person<br />
hasn&#8217;t returned a piece of their heart to me. These are the empty<br />
gouges&#8212;giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are<br />
painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these<br />
people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I<br />
have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?&#8221;</p>
<p>The young woman stood silently with tears running down hers cheeks.<br />
She walked up to the old woman, reached into her perfect young and<br />
beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. She offered it to the old<br />
woman with trembling hands. The old woman took her offering, placed<br />
it in her heart and then took a piece from her old, scarred heart<br />
and placed it in the wound in the young woman&#8217;s heart. It fit,<br />
but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.</p>
<p>The young woman looked at her heart, not perfect anymore but more<br />
beautiful than ever, since love from the old woman&#8217;s heart flowed<br />
into hers. They embraced and walked away side by side.</p>
<p>Love cannot be wasted. It makes no difference where it is bestowed,<br />
it always brings in big returns!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.<br />
All claimed that they were the best.<br />
The most important.<br />
The most useful.<br />
The favorite.</p>
<p>Green said:<br />
&#8220;Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.&#8221;</p>
<p>Blue interrupted:<br />
&#8220;You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yellow chuckled:<br />
&#8220;You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>Orange started next to blow her trumpet:<br />
&#8220;I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don&#8217;t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:<br />
&#8220;I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life&#8217;s blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Purple rose up to his full height:<br />
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: &#8220;I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.&#8221;</p>
<p>Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: &#8220;Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.&#8221;</p>
<p>And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.</p>
<p>In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak:<br />
&#8220;You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don&#8217;t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.</p>
<p>The rain continued:<br />
&#8220;From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow.&#8221; And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.</p>
