It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.....
~ François de La Rouchefoucauld
man cannot reap love until after sad and revealing separation, and bitter patience, and desperate hardship
Today a good friend of mine sent me these nice sayings about life. Enjoy reading them:
Never tell your problems to anyone…20% don’t care and the other 80% are glad you have them. -Lou Holtz
Never explain yourself. Your friends dont need it and your enemies wont believe it. -Belgicia Howell
You must experience and accept the extremes. Because if the contrast is lost, you lose appreciation; and when you lose appreciation, you lose the value of everything. -Philippos
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. -Ann Landers
Being sad with the right people is better than being happy with the wrong ones.-Philippos
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too. -Will Smith
If your problem has a solution then…why worry about it? If your problem doesnt have solution then…why worry about it? -Chinese Proverb
i like theis one better
Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can’t change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life’s too short to be anything but happy

sleeping
At First, i start with an Article about:
***Sleeping***
Sleep is the natural state of rest in which your eyes are closed and your mind and body are inactive and unconscious.
when you are tired and had a busy day , so you can hardly keep your eyes open. you take clothes off, put on your
pyjamas, brush your teeth,wash your hands and face and get ready to get into bed.blanket, sheets , pillow and mattress are in a usual bed.
Maybe you start reading a book before sleeping but when you are exhausted your eyes get heavy and can not stay
awake any longer.you start to get drowsy and very soon you begin to fall asleep!!!
Then quite suddenly you move from consciousness to unconsciousness and you are asleep!!!
BUT Then, What happens???
Scientists say in the first hour of a normal night's sleep you go in to a Deep Sleep.In fact this is the time when your
sleep is deepest.Then mind goes into a lighter sleep called By Scientists "Paradoxical Sleep".It is during this type sleep that you have your Dreams!
In a normal night, most people go from deep sleep to paradoxical sleep Four or Five times.
so what's Dream? why we have Dream?
A dream is an imaginary series of events that you experience in your mind while you are asleep. There are different types of dreams
*Daydreams:
Studies show that we all tend to daydream about 70-120 minutes a day. It occurs during our waking hours and we let
our imagination carry us away. The content is helpful in understanding your true feelings and help in fulfilling your goals.
*Lucid dreams:
This occurs when you realize you're dreaming. "Wait a minute. This is only a dream!" Lucid dreaming gives us the
ability to control our dreams.It can help us to rehearse the events before it actually occurs.At least half of the adults
have had a lucid dream in their lives.
*Nightmares:
Many of you most probably had this already. This is a disturbing dream that causes you to wake up feeling anxious and
frightened. Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma experienced.
*Healing dreams:
Many experts believe that dreams can help avoid potential health problems and help to heal. Dreams of this nature might be telling us to go to the dentist or doctor. They serve as messages in regards to our health.
*Signal Dreams:
Signal dreams help you how to solve problems or make decisions in your waking life.
***10 Facts of dreams:
* 1. One third of your life is spent sleeping.
* 2. Everybody dreams. Just because you don't remember your dream doesn't mean that you don't dream.
* 3. A lack of dream activity can mean protein deficiency or personal disorder.
* 4. We often have 4-7 dreams in one night. We dream for about one to two hours.
* 5. Blind people do dream. Visual images in their dream depend on whether they became blind at birth or later in
life. Dreams can be based on other sense such as sound and smell too.
* 6. Men tend to dream more about other men while women dream equally about men and women.
* 7. People who're giving up smoking tend to have longer and more intense dreams.
* 8. Toddlers do not dream about themselves. They do not appear in their own dreams until they are 3 or 4.
* 9. If you're snoring, then you can't be dreaming.
* 10. Nightmares are common in children, beginning at around 3 years old and occurring up to ages 7-8.
***
In the end, i think OBE ( Out of Body Experience) be deal with sleeping and dream! Surveys show that About one in ten people has an out-of-body experience at some time in their lives ( or 15% to 20% of the population have had an OBE at some time during their life).OBEs are often part of the near-death experience (NDE).
OBE is quite common in dreams, daydreams, and memories,and so when we are extreme fatig , have a very sudden pain like heart attack, have a car or motor accident ,etc. so our soul leaves our body for sometime and can goes
anywhere ,any place and any time after that our soul came back to our body if our soul didn't return,we died!!!
Susan Blackmore had an OBE while attending Oxford University during the early 1970s.In her OBE, Blackmore went down a tunnel of trees toward a light, floated on the ceiling , floated out of the building around Oxford and then over England, and finally across the Atlantic to New York.
After hovering around New York, Blackmore floated back to her room in Oxford where she became very small and
entered her body’s toes.
Finally, some people experience an OBE when they are near death (near-death experiences or NDEs).
have you had any OBE in your life?
I think haveing OBE is good because i can go anywhere, it is not limited

In Persian, the words are narang and porteghal (Portugal), in the same order. The reason is that the sweet orange was brought from China or India to Europe during
the 15th century by the Portuguese.

* The orange blossom, which is the state flower of Florida, is traditionally associated with good fortune, and was popular in bridal bouquets and head wreaths for weddings for some time. The petals of orange blossom can also be made into a delicately citrus-scented version of rosewater. Orange blossom water is a common part of Middle Eastern cuisine. The orange blossom gives its touristic nickname to the Costa del Azahar ("Orange-blossom coast"), the Castellon seaboard.
* In Spain, fallen blossoms are dried and then used to make tea.
* Orange blossom honey, or actually citrus honey, is produced by putting beehives in the citrus groves during bloom, which also pollinates seeded citrus varieties. Orange blossom honey is highly prized, and tastes much like orange.
* Marmalade, a conserve usually made with Seville oranges. All parts of the orange are used to make marmalade: the pith and pips are separated, and typically placed in a muslin bag where they are boiled in the juice (and sliced peel) to extract their pectin, aiding the setting process.

Orange flower water
Orange flower water is a clear, perfumed distillation of fresh bitter-orange blossoms, this essential water is used in many Mediterranean dessert dishes, and in some cocktails, such as the Ramos Gin Fizz. It is most often used in Middle Eastern cooking but is being seen more in Western cooking. In the Arab world, it is traditionally added to hard or otherwise bad-tasting water to mask the unpleasant flavor. Orange blossoms are used because they are the traditional bridal flower and symbolize purity (white, small and delicate). The orange flower water is used in making little wedding cakes in Mexico. There are many brands available that are made in Europe. There is one brand made in the United States, by Fee Brothers of Rochester, NY

The milky way is a spiral galaxy which contains five hundred billion stars beyond the understanding of all human beings.
This galaxy was formed ten billion years ago from a huge cloud of gas material.
A core, which may have a black hole , exists In the center of the galaxy.the diameter of a core of a galaxy is about ten thousand kilometers.
The sun orbits the core of the milky way in speed two hundred kilometers and it finishes orbiting every two hundred and half million years .the sun has ever orbited fifteen or twenty times around the core
We see the perspective of our galaxy containing a lot of stars and their planets like a milky way.
We are in the middle of the galaxy, so we are unable to observe the whole galaxy .in fact, the milky way is like a large girandole .
The length of our galaxy is about one hundred thousand kilometers .if we want to count the stars of the milky way , it will take thousand years.

Ark Or Citadel Of Tabriz:
Ark-e Tabriz in Persian (also called Masjid-e Alishah, Arg-e Alishah) is the impressive remainder of a great and imposing building in the town. The Arg, a huge and crumbling brick citadel, is a notable landmark that was built in the early 14th century on the site of a massive mosque which collapsed over 500 years ago, and which must been one of the largest ever constructed.

Nowadays, Tabriz has six churches, the most important of which are: Saint Serkis Church, located in Armenian quarter of Tabriz, Baron Avak, which was renovated in 1845; probably the most interesting and the oldest but substantially rebuilt Church of St. Mary (Kelesa-ye Maryam-e Moghaddas) which was completed in 1785, on the corner of North Shari-ati Ave. and Jomhuri Ave; Able Mary Church which was built in 1910 and is on Miar Miar quarter of Tabriz.

The two-story building was constructed in 1868 by Haj Vali Me’mar-e Tabrizi. It has numerous rooms and halls. The most beautiful part of the house is a skylight and a corridor decorated with colorful glasses and mirrors.
Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque (or Masjid-e Kabud) on the north side of town, is a 15th-century structure destroyed partially by one of Tabriz's recurrent earthquakes.
The entrance portal with its two minarets appears to have been connected with the main prayer hall (Shabestan) under the largest cupola of the mosque, by means of vaulted corridor. On both sides along the corridor, there stand the remains of the chambers with vaulted roofs. The walls of the mosque have been riveted with marble slabs and decorated with superb mosaic tiles. Some of the blue mosaics in the mosque's portal are heavily damaged and half missing.
Golestan gardens
Also called the National Park, the garden is one of the main recreation centers of the city and covers an area of 53,000 square meters. It was built some 70 years ago and has many huge pools surrounded by green and trees.
Shah Goli
Do not miss El Goli (former Shah Goli), a pleasant hillside garden and park around an artificial lake to the area of 54,675 square meters. El Goli, only 4 km south of downstream Tabriz, is so lovely a place that it deserves an illustration. It is a popular weekend resort for the locals.
A hill in the eastern side of the park leads down to the pool with steps, and a fountain from top of the hill flows down to the pool. In the center of the pool there is a grand hexagonal building. The pool itself is said to have been built during the reign of Aq Qoyunlu kings. However, it was extended by the Safavids.
How to Help Save the Environment[ برای مشاهده لینک ، لطفا با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ]
Things like hectic climate change, polluted air, acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer, global warming, and an increase in poverty prove that the way we use things is ineffective.
Imagine this. One day you come out from your house and all you see is big puffs of black smoke and no trees! All you hear are cars and no birds! All you smell is gasoline and no flowers! What kind of life is that?
All we need to do to reduce the problem is simply to be less wasteful.
Here are some ideas on how to help everyone!
1) Switch off anything that uses electricity. Stick to a routine of shutting off as many electrical appliances as possible when you leave a room. If it will be at least 36 hours before you use it again, unplug it. Even when an appliance is off, it can still suck up juice. Just imagine. You will save hundreds of dollars and you could donate the money to a charity in need or buy yourself something nice.
2) Use renewable energy sources In the USA around 71% of electricity is produced by utilities that burn coal, gas, or other fuels to produce the electricity. Burning coal or other fuels puts green-house gases and pollution in the environment. An average home powered by a coal utility will burn 12,000 pounds of coal a year. An average home’s electrical usage causes about the same amount of pollution as 2 cars. By upgrading a home to use renewable energy (such as solar power or wind power) the reduction of pollution for an average home is equivalent to planting 400 trees. Many electric companies offer power from renewable sources (sometimes at a slightly higher fee). Contact your local utility to request power from renewable sources. Also, it is now possible to rent solar panels and this makes solar affordable to most people.
3) Encourage your congressional representatives to support environmental issues and renewable energy
4) Check your faucets and any other appliance that uses water straight from your source. If your faucets drip, get them fixed, or at least put a container under the drip in the meantime and use the water. To check your toilets, put a few drops of food coloring (go for a strong color) in the tank, not the bowl. Wait about ten minutes without flushing. If you see the dye in the bowl, repair your toilet.
One drop per minute can add up over time.
5) Turn off the water when you're not using it. As Ellen Degeneres says, "Turn off the water while brushing your teeth." Why is the water running for so long? There is no point, is there? It is okay if you forget a few times, but if you forget a lot, put a little sticky note on the wall in front of the sink, with the reminder, "Turn off the faucet. Don't
waste water!" This goes for shaving, washing dishes, and even taking a shower.
6) Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries. Batteries not only take up landfill space (they can't be incinerated), they can leak acid into the Earth. Even then, only use the appliance when you must. If you have the choice, plug in the device instead of using batteries.
7) Install low-flow toilets in your home, or put a brick in the reservoir (the back) of your current toilet. The space the brick takes up in the bottom of the tank will permit you to use less water, but keep the toilet functioning. Also try adjusting the water level down. Many toilets have an adjustment to lower the valve float.
8) Avoid using disposable items as much as possible. Anything you use only a few times and throw away consumes resources only to spend centuries in a landfill.
9) Avoid using plastic whenever you can; it is a poison of the earth (things like disposable plastic cups, plastic bags, nonsense plastic items you don't need).* Use resealable, reusable containers instead of plastic wrap or plastic bags.
10) Get a hybrid. If you have been looking for a new vehicle, hybrids are becoming more and more popular. There are a wide variety of hybrids on the market from little sedans to big SUVs. They not only give off less emissions into the air, they can save you money with less trips to the gas station.
11) Consider cloth diapers. They've come a long way from the things with pins and plastic covers that gen x-ers and ALL previous generations wore. You will save a fortune (especially if you have more than one child), keep potentially dangerous chemicals away from your baby's bottom, and do a good thing for the planet while you're at it!
12) Switch to compact florescent light bulbs. While these cost more, they are also longer lasting than conventional light bulbs, and they use only one-quarter of the energy. They may cost more money, but last much longer.
13) Buy secondhand clothes, or if you have a neighbor with a child a year or so older than your child, ask if they can send their old clothes to you. You can also find many 'organic clothes' at common department stores. These clothes are made with organic cotton in a more environmentally friendly factories. They are in style nowadays.
14)Stop Some of Your Junk Mail. If you get several catalogs which you do not need, then call one company each day or each week and ask for them to stop sending this to you. This will save trees, and will use less oil, as something you do not need will not have to be made and transported to you. There is sometimes more paper in the local newspaper that you would use in 2 months. Remember to recycle the old newspapers, or the ones that you do not need anymore.
15) Get skylights. These windows go on your ceiling to provide more light, reducing the electric light you use. Some types can even transfer sunlight into electricity.
16) Don't use pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals. Pesticides kill hundreds of birds and other animals per year. If you have unwanted weeds, pull or hoe them out yourself, clip them down, plant a ground cover in their place, or use mulch to control weeds and limit evaporation.
17) Reuse glass bottles. Buy a glass bottle and use it for a long time! It will not rot or go bad like a plastic bottle will. You could decrease the amount of water bottles in the garbage dumps if you use 1 glass bottle instead of 30 plastic water bottles per week. Glass bottles are also healthy! Plastic is not. All different types of chemicals get released into your water from the plastic, and even more if you squeeze it!
18) Stop reading newspapers if you can look up the news on your computer, it takes up less energy than cutting down the trees, making the paper, and transporting it to your house.
19) Use a thermos instead of making tea or coffee in cups. You will use less tea bags or coffee, and you will have more for the next time you wish to make tea or coffee! For more taste, don't add more tea bags. Add lemon or honey to your tea.
20) Buy or make a few reusable fabric bags, and bring them with you whenever you go shopping. Or, reuse your old plastic bags. Just imagine all of the plastic bags in the world added up. Isn't that a lot of garbage?
21) Recycle old plastic bags. There are a lot of things which you can do with old plastic bags. Don't throw them away! They will come in handy! You can reuse them when shopping. Check out how to recycle old plastic bags.
22) Recycle all you can. In many countries, recycling is taken seriously. They have one trash can for bags, one for glass, one for cans, one for boxes, one for plastic, one for paper, even one for decomposed food. Try disciplining yourself to recycling the necessities we use when done.
23) Put timers on lamps that will turn off lamps at the same time on a daily basis. Timers like these can be found in hardware stores and they can be plugged into your lamp.
24) Buy less stuff. If you don't need it, don't buy it. Besides saving money and not cluttering up your house, not buying things in the first place means never using the resources (materials, energy, labor) necessary to create it. Could you borrow something, get it used, or simply do without it?
25) Close doors after you leave a room. When you leave the house, or even when you have dinner downstairs, try to close the door to all the rooms you don't normally use or need. Doing this often will save a lot of excess heating that is needed to make your home warm. Something simple anyone can do:)
26) Limit your shower water. Use less water when showering and don't take longer than fifteen minutes. There are also devices there days that can limit the amount of heated water used per shower.
27) Don't use too much fertilizer. Do you know what happens to all the fertilizer that is washed off lawns and gardens? Some way or another, it ends up in a body of water. Stop this indirect pollution! Organic fertilizer is better than chemical fertilizer. So next time you buy fertilizer, buy organic!
28) Don't use electronic exercise machines. Instead of using treadmills and similar, use a bicycle or a unicycle maybe. Walking and push-ups work as well.
29) Plant a tree in your neighborhood or near your home; They suck up harmful CO2 gases. If you can't plant one, try potted plants.
30) Turn it off Buy a power strip, and plug your TV, computer, lights, etc. into it. At night, when you're not using them, turn off the power strip, because even an appliance that is off sucks up energy if there's nothing stopping it. Not only does it save electricity, it shaves money off your electric bill.
31) Use Canvas To Conserve. Using canvas bags help the enviroment becuase plastic bags take hundreds of years to disengrade. Also,using canvas bags is a very cheap way to help out planet.
32) When grocery shopping, bring your own bag(s) (cloth ones are the best kind). Some places even give slight discounts for you bringing in your own bag. Some shops also make you pay for those plastic bags, so you'll be saving money as well as do good deeds!
33) If possible, drink your tap water! You'll have more cash in your pocket and reduce the chances of a factory creating more unnecessary bottles, meaning less energy as well as resources used up.
34) Before you recycle something, like an aluminum can, it's best to wash it out first. Did you know that one aluminum can can be recycled 10 times?
Washing
These days many people start their day by going into the bathroom to wash. They turn on a tap and hot water runs into the washbasin.They pick up a bar of soap and wash their hands and face. They take a towel to dry themselves on order to brush their teeth. Not so long ago, however , many homes did not have bathrooms at all. Soap was something that only rich families could afford, and people did not think it was necessary to brush their teeth.
Today we think it is important to be clean,but there was a long period of history when almost no one had a bath or a shower.
Queen Isabella of Spain (1451-1504) had only two baths in her life,one on the day she was born and the other on the day she was married. [ برای مشاهده لینک ، لطفا با نام کاربری خود وارد شوید یا ثبت نام کنید ]

Merry Xmas
Christmas
Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that marks the traditional birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas combines the celebration of Jesus' birth with various other traditions and customs, many of which were influenced by ancient winter festivals such as Yule[1] and Saturnalia. Christmas traditions include the display of Nativity scenes and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Father Christmas (Santa Claus) on Christmas Eve. Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill, giving, compassion, and quality family time.
Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not widely considered to be his actual date of birth.[2]
Christmas is celebrated in most countries around the world, owing to the spread of Christianity and Western culture. Various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practiced
Yule is the winter solstice celebration of the Scandinavian Norse mythology and Germanic pagans
Saturnalia is the feast at which the Romans commemorated the dedication of the temple of the god Saturn, which took place on 17 December. Over the years, it expanded to a whole week, up to 23 December..
St. Valentine's Story
Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.
Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!
Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favourite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers.
One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.
I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine."
I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can't be beaten!
Valentine Traditions
Hundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went singing from home to home. One verse they sang was:
Good morning to you, valentine;
Curl your locks as I do mine---
Two before and three behind.
Good morning to you, valentine.
In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favourite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.
In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.
Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.
A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!
Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.
Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.
If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have

Cancer
Author: Dr Beckie Lang]
Although many factors are associated with an increased risk of cancer, it's estimated that 30 per cent of all cancers may be the result of our diet. Here are some tips to help you to reduce your risk.
Achieve and maintain a healthy weight
Obesity is associated with a marked increase in colorectal cancer, and some hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast and endometrial cancers.
Eat more fruit and vegetables
At leas ive portions] of fruit and veg a day can reduce the risk of many different types of cancer. The exact reason for this is unknown, but it may be related to their fibre content, vitamins and minerals, other plant chemicals such as flavonoids, or the combination of all these nutrients. Vitamin and mineral supplements may be a useful addition to the diet for some people, but they aren't a substitute for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Eat more fibre
On average, most people need to eat about 50 per cent more fibre than they currently do to meet the recommended intake of 18g per day. Fibre is important to increase stool weight, which enables waste to pass easily from the body. Cancer of the large bowel is the second most prevalent cancer in the UK, affecting one in eight people. By increasing stool weight by 25 per cent, the incidence of this disease could be reduced by up to 15 per cent in Britain.
Eat less fat
A high-fat diet is linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer. (See the advice on fat intake in the [cardiovascular] section).
Drink alcohol in moderation
Excessive intake of has been linked with an increased risk of cancer of the mouth, liver and throat. Limit your intake to no more than two to three units a day.

CULTURAL NOTE
In the United States, children can meet Santa Claus by going to a shopping mall. They stand in line to take their turn sitting on his lap and telling him what they want for Christmas. One of Santa's elves takes a picture of each child with Santa. Of course, because there are many shopping malls, there are many Santa Clauses! Who knows which the REAL one...is

Valentines Day History
There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.
Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.
In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800's and now the date is very commercialised. The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.

Three Words Three Words
What is the theme of almost every song ever sung -
and almost every movie ever made?
LOVE.
Lost love, found love, risky love, scorned love.
It's endless! We just want love!
Almost everything we do is an attempt to get more love.
We buy cool clothes and flash cars.
We climb the corporate ladder.
We do crash diets, get Botox and pierce body parts.
Everyone you pass on the street and everyone who has ever
walked into your office is aching for love and acceptance -
and some of us are doing crazy things to get it.
We figure:
"If I look ----, people will love me."
"If I am clever, people will love me."
"If I am successful and 97% wrinkle free, people will love me."
We can get so busy trying to find love that we forget
to love the people we care about …
Fred says, "I told my wife last month that ! I love her.
Doesn't she remember?"
She remembers, Fred, but she wants to be told every month.
Actually, she wants to be told every day.
Children want to hear it.
Little Johnny is born. Dad hugs him daily and tells him,
"Daddy loves you!" … until he's about six.
Then Dad decides, "My son is becoming a man."
He stops telling Johnny, "I love you."
He stops cuddling Johnny.
And Johnny wonders, "Doesn't Dad love me any more?"
I've lost count of the number of grown men
that have told me at one time or another:
"All I wanted my whole life was for my Dad to tell me
he was proud of me - that he loved me."
It is in times of tragedy that we are
reminded about what matters most.
That's when people say "If only I had told him …"
IN A NUTSHELL
To say "I love you" costs so little and means so much.
And whenever it is too hard to say, "I love you",
"thank you" is a good start.

Words & Thoughts
Imagine a boxer stepping into the ring, and telling himself:
"I'm a loser. I'm a chicken!"
How long would he last?
Imagine a singer walking onstage, and telling herself:
"I'm pathetic! They'll hate me!"
How well would she sing?
It's a recipe for disaster.
Yet, lots of us use this same recipe every day. We tell ourselves:
"I'm fat."
"I have a rotten memory."
"I'm always broke."
"I'm an idiot."
Then we wonder why we fail!
If you expect to forget, you will forget!
If you expect to be broke, you will stay broke.
If you expect to behave like an idiot ...
So how do we start to think positively?
The first step is to watch your mouth! Notice what you SAY about yourself.
From today, NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT YOURSELF.
Never tell people: "I'm hopeless, I always screw up, my boyfriends always dump me ..."
Make a commitment: "From today, I will not criticise myself. If I have nothing good to say about me, I will keep my mouth shut."
It's hard to control our thoughts - but we CAN control what comes out of our mouth. Once we take control of our language, we begin to have more positive thoughts ... and life gets better.
We become what we think about!

Patience
A woman approached the great violinist Fritz Kreisler after one of his concerts...
She said, "Mr Kreisler, I would give my life to play as you play!"
He turned and smiled and said, "I DID!"
If you want to be really good at something, you might need to spend your whole life practising ... or ten years practising ... or at least six months!
A hundred years ago, most people understood this. Nowadays, people want instant results
For whatever you want to do, here's a strategy ... practise every day, but don't expect to see progress every day!
If you are:
* getting your body fit
* learning a language
* refining your golf swing
* taking singing lessons
* learning a new sport, beginning a hobby, starting a new career ...
give yourself enough time.
Get a daily plan, stick with it ... AND allow yourself time to improve.
You might see little progress in a month. Give it six months of effort - or a year of effort - THEN assess your improvement.
Most people quit too soon!
IN A NUTSHELL
To be successful, this is what you need - in order of importance:
1. Patience and persistence
2. Talent

Efficiency vs. Productivity
It is important to understand the differences between the concepts of productivity and efficiency. While both concepts are important to a company's bottom line, the words do not mean the same thing. If you think that these two concepts are the same thing or have similar meanings, you are not alone. This article will help you understand the meaning of each concept and how they relate to your bottom line. If you are already sure of their meanings and how they are different, then you can skip this article. But for those of you who might want a refresher course, or just don't know the difference, please read on. Failing to understanding the difference between _efficiency_ and _productivity_ might just be the reason why it seems so hard to take your company's work force to the next level of productivity. So, let me explain the difference.
Efficiency
Efficiency is a term that we use to describe the amount of effort or energy that it takes to accomplish a certain task or operation. When a process such as construction has many operations happening all at the same time, each operation should be as efficient as possible. Office personnel, for example, develop a system to be efficient when paper work needs to be filed. If this is done efficiently, then a piece of paper is easy to find the next time that you need it. In other words, finding that piece of paper requires a small amount of effort.
Productivity
Productivity, on the other hand, is a measure of how much work is done in a certain amount of time. For example, how many pieces of paper are filed and retrieved in a day. If the filing process is done efficiently, then the office staff is productive, that is if they can work together as a team. If each staff member has an _efficient_ system to file documents, but no other person in the office can figure out what folder the document was filed in, it'll be hard to improve the _productivity_ of the office staff.
Now, I'll illustrate this difference between the two concepts from another point of view. Let's use a rope and attach a high _efficiency_ motor to a cart that is loaded with spindles that need to be installed on a staircase. Turn the motor on and little effort is needed by the carpenter to move the cart over to where he is working. Say another carpenter wants to use the same spindles on a different staircase. He in turn attaches another motor and rope to the other side of the cart. Both motors are exactly the same horsepower. Both carpenters turn their motors on and...... An electrical _tug-of-war_ begins. Even though both motors are operating at the peak of _efficiency_, no spindles are being installed. Then we can say as far as this team of two carpenters is concerned, their _productivity_ has taken a disastrous decline. What's a supervisor to do in a case like this? …d

Don't say you're not important,
It simply isn't true,
The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.
The path may seem unclear right now,
But one day you will see,
That all that came before,
Was truly meant to be,
God wrote the book that is Life,
That's all you need to know.
Each day that you are living,
Was written long ago.
God only writes best sellers,
So be proud of who you are,
Your character is important,
In this book, you are the 'Star'…
Have a Fabulous Day!
