Enlightened perspective

Jag är av princip emot skickavidare-mejl. Detta enbart iom att de oftast slutar med "om du inte skickar detta vidare till alla människor i hela världen kommer du att drabbas av en obehaglig överraskning/bli hatad av alla/bli tjock/drabbas av otur resten av ditt liv/dina öron ramla av/aldrig finna den sanna kärleken/få allvarlig acne över hela kroppen/bryta alla ben i kroppen då du faller ut för ett stup/få generande hårväxt/dö typ snart".
Och nästan lika illa är det att man även idkar påtryckningar åt andra hållet typ i stil med "Om du gör detta kommer du att bli uppringd av någon du tycker om inom 24timmar/träffa the love of your life/förvandlas over night till supermodell/alla dina drömmar besannas/bli miljadär/få superkrafter/erhålla evigt liv/hitta en ny kontinent där invånarna börjar dyrka dig som en gud och genom deras dyrkan får du evigt liv/få en present."
Hallå liksom? Hur fan kan ett mejl diktera om jag hittar en ny kontinent där invånarna börjar dyrka mig som en gud och genom deras dyrkan får evigt liv eller inte? Det känns inte speciellt trovärdigt att ett enda mejl kan ha den auktoriteten. Faktiskt. 
Så jag väljer att inte tro på sådana mejl. Skickar inte ens vidare dem 'för säkerhets skull'.

Men. (ska sägas som Tont Irving!) Vissa människor är kloka. Och vissa kloka människor blir citerade i sk skickavidaremejl. Och så länge inga påtryckningar utövas kan det faktiskt vara värt att vidarebefodra vissa ord. Som tex de här som jag fick av min pappa idag:

ENLIGHTENED PERSPECTIVE

If you will take the time to read these, I promise you'll come away with an enlightened perspective. The subjects covered affect us all on a daily basis!


They're written by Andy Rooney, a man who has the gift of saying so much with so few words. Enjoy.......


I've learned.... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.


I've learned.... That when you're in love, it shows.

I've learned.... That just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes my day.

I've learned.... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

I've learned.... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

I've learned.... That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.

I've learned.... That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned.... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.


I've learned.... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.


I've learned.... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

I've learned.... That love, not time, heals all wounds.

I've learned.... That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

I've learned.... That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will
  dock elsewhere.

I've learned.... That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.

I've learned.... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.


I've learned.... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I've learned.... That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.

I've learned.... That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

I've learned.... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

Som sagt vissa människor har ju fattat grejen! Jag tror detta blir en bra dag.
