A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.


He held it up for all to see; asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?'


'50gms!' .... '100gms!' ......'125gms' ......the students answered.


'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor,'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'


'Nothing' the students said.

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ' the professor asked.


'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.


'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'


'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress; paralysis;


Have to go to hospital for sure!'ventured another student; all the students laughed.


'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? ' asked


The professor. 'No' the students said.


Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?'


The students were puzzled.


'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.


'Exactly!' said the professor.' Life's problems are something like this.


Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK.


Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.


It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but


EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.


That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!'


Remember to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

FACTS ABOUT 9/11......

This is really freaky!!

1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb
[The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towersin 1993] has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters. This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets
more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the TwinTowers was flight number 11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit TwinTowers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1= 11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254.
2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 =11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the TwinTowers incident.

Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and
lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced:
for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

uncovinced about all of this Still ..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it
made my hair stand on end:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane
to hit one of the TwinTowers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

What do you think now?!! HE HE HE HE HE HE………

ATM....HELP.....MUST READ

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM
machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM
recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the
machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the
robber,the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is
seldom used because people don't know it exists.

CULTURE AT CORPORATE HOUSES.....NO OFFENCES.....INTENDED

DID U KNO???

An incident took place in Delhi - a young girl was raped by a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver's license to show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed. The law [which most are not aware of] clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6 pm and 6 am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest. Please fwd this to as many girls you know.. Also to boys.. coz this can help them protect their wives, sisters and mothers. It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power. I did not know this and am sure some of us don't ? please be informed..

LEGAL N LOGICAL?????????.........INERSETING READ

After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization", a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it.

Student: "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"

Professor: "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"

Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam. "

Professor: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"

Student: "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"

Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.

Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.

He immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 25 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 18 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."
