别等了，想做什么要趁早因为我们并不知道自己还有多少个明天，谁还在身边。

Don't wait, do as your heart desires now because we don't know how many tomorrows we have and who will staying with us after today.

有一位女生来自一座小城市，高中毕业于月入480元进入了社会就业，最大的愿望是去看看这个世界有多美丽。如今她已工作了11年，那儿都还没去，月薪不见的有加反而负担变多了，想起当初她为何要等；
等赚多点钱再去
等工作稳定再去
等工作不忙再去
等假日交长再去
等有时间了再去
等瘦身成工再去
等天气传好再去
等找到旅伴再去
就这样一等就等了11年，人还是原地踏步。所以想做什么要趁早，不需等到天时地利人和才去，人生没有回头票。

Until now, 11 years had passed, she been to no where, salary doesn't seem to increase much but her burdens getting higher like a mountain. she wonders what kept her waiting;

11 years passed by, she is still at the starting point. Do as your heart desires now or will end up did nothing at all, there is no return ticket for life.

"No," the frantic man replied.

Having successfully passed all the written exams and physical requirements to join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, my daughter was now being interviewed. One of the questions was, "What would you do if you were out on patrol with a male officer and he drove to a secluded area and started making advances to you?"
My daughter didn't hesitate, "Is this before or after I'm issued a pistol?" she replied. She's now a Mountie.

In his younger days our golden retriever, Catcher, often ran away when he had the chance. His veterinarian's office was about a mile down the road, and Catcher would usually end up there. The office staff knew him very well and would call me to come pick him up.
One day I called the vet to make an appointment for Catcher's yearly vaccine. "Will you be bringing him?" asked the receptionist. "Or will he be coming on his own?"

Joker's Corner - Goin' Under The Knife

2011-05-08T16:26:00.000+08:00

I hate the idea of going under the knife. So I was very upset when the doctor told me I needed a tonsillectomy. Later, the nurse and I were filling out an admission form. I tried to respond to the questions, but I was so nervous I couldn't speak. The nurse put down the form, took my hands in hers and said, "Don't worry. This medical problem can easily be fixed, and it's not a dangerous procedure."

"You're right. I'm being silly," I said, feeling relieved. "Please continue."
"Good. Now," the nurse went on, "do you have a living well?"

During basic training, our drill sergeant asked for a show of hands of all Jewish personnel. Six of us tentatively raised our hands. Much to our relief, we were given the day off for Rosh Hashanah.

A few days later in anticipation of Yom Kippur, the drill sergeant again asked for all Jewish personnel to ID themselves. This time, every soldier raised his hand.
"Only the personnel who were Jewish last week can be Jewish this week," declared the sergeant.

一丝小小的微笑，给人无限的欢喜；

一声小小的爱语，给人无边的受用；

一件小小的善行，给人无量的因缘；

一则小小的故事，给人无尽的启示。

One LITTLE smile gives boundless joy.

One LITTLE word does boundless good.

One LITTLE tale gives boundless inspiration.

One LITTLE action brings boundless good causes and conditions.

2011-04-30T11:20:00.001+08:00

Nancy was Catholic, but her fiance, Chris, was not. Since my friends were planning to be married in the Catholic Church, Chris made sure to listen carefully throughout their prenuptial seesions. At one meeting the priest turned to Chris and told him, "Since you are not Catholic, we shall have the ceremony without Eucharist."

Later that day, Chris was noticeably upset, so Nancy asked what was wrong. "I don't understand," he said. "How can we have the ceremony without me?"

As part of his talk at a banquet, out minister told some jokes and a few funny stories. Since he planned to use the same anecdotes at a meeting the next day, he asked reporters covering the event not to include them in their articles.

Reading the paper the following morning, he noticed that one well-meaning cub reporter had ended his story on the banquet with the observation "The minister told a number of stories that cannot be published."

I work for a security company that transports cash, and part of my job is to work with police if a crew is robbed. One afternoon my wife and I were packing to move, when I received a call to report to a crime scene.

"I have to go," I told my wife. "Two of our guards have been held up at gunpoint at a superstore."
As I dashed out the door, she called, "While you're there, pick up some big cardboard boxes."

Joke's Corner - My Dogs

2011-04-27T23:02:00.000+08:00

At a workshop on dog temperament, the instructor noted that a test for a canine's disposition was for an owner to fall down and act hurt. A dog with poor temperament would try to bite the person, whereas a good dog would lick his owner's face or show concern.

Once, while eating pizza in the living room, I decided to try out this theory on my two dogs. I stood up, clutched my heart, let out a scream and collapsed on the floor.
The dogs looked at me, glanced at each other and raced to the coffee table for my pizza.

My grandfather has a knack for looking on the bright side of life. Even after receiving the terrible diagnosis that he had Alzheimer's, he was philosophical.

"Now I can hide my own Easter eggs."

The plane was only half-full. When an attractive young woman asked if the seat next to mine was free, my male ego soared. Soon we were chatting pleasantly, and she told me it was her first flight.

"Mom said to sit next to someone I thought I could trust," she confessed nervously, "and you look just like my dad."

Money vs Happiness

2011-04-21T14:17:00.000+08:00

Artist: Jessie J
Title : Price Tag

Okay, Coconut man, Moon Heads and Me
You ready

Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop, for a minute and
Smile

Why is everybody so serious
Acting so damn mysterious
Got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
We're paying with love tonight
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

Okay!
We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes,
Am I the only one getting tired
Why is everybody so obsessed
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feeling Alright.

2011-04-21T13:30:00.001+08:00

As a salesman, I was searching for a certain company in unfamiliar territory. I come to a likely-looking road marked with a small red sign reading: Industrial Center. I was not certain that this was the right road, so I drove back to a gas station to inquire.
The attendant took my arm and pointed to the sign that I had just read, now barely discernible in the distance. "See that little sign about three blocks away?" he asked.
"You mean the red one that says industrial center?" I asked.
"Man!" he exclaimed. "You've got eyes like an eagle!"
