Jealous People And Negativity

I just received the below story via email and want to share it with you. I had a good laugh at this as it is so true:)

This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.

A woman was at her hairdresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:

“Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty. You’re crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?

“We’re taking BA,” was the reply. “We got a great rate”.

“BA?” exclaimed the hairdresser.. ” That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?”

“We’ll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome’s Tiber River called Teste.”

“Don’t go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it’s really a dump.”

“We’re going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope.”

“That’s rich,” laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant.

Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it…”

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome

“It was wonderful,” explained the woman, “not only were we on time in one of BA’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.

And the hotel was great! They’d just finished a £5 million re-modelling job, and now it’s a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner’s suite at no extra charge!”

“Well,” muttered the hairdresser, “that’s all well and good, but I bet you didn’t get to see the Pope.”

“Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me”

“Oh, really! What’d he say?”

He said: “Who the F#%* did your hair?”

Nothing Is Impossible, Its All Possible

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." - Muhammad Ali
I am sure you hear the word "impossible" at least a few time a day, right? Read more...

Things Seem Impossible Until Done


I have always been a big fan of Nelson Mandela. Before i left South Africa in 2007 i had the pleasure of meeting him at a Diana Ross concert. Mr Mandela is such a wise man. When he entered the stadium he brought with him this amazing energy and magic. The stadium started shouting "Madiba, Madiba, Madiba". - In South Africa Mandela is know as Madiba, which is his Xhosa clan name. Xhosa is one of the 11 languages in South Africa.-
Mandela ended up sitting right next me as i was sitting in the front row at the concert. What an experience.

One of my favorite quotes from Mandela is "It always seems impossible, until it's done".

Read the quote over a few more times and you will soon realize that nothing is impossible. All you need to do is try and give it your best shot.

Dangers Of Long Term Marathons - Beware

Medical News Today has just released a very interesting article about the dangers of long term marathons. This is definitely worth a read:

Cardiologists say that for optimum health we should limit vigorous exercise to between 30 and 50 minutes per day. 

The researchers, from Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute, Kansas City, USA, explained in the journal Heart that running for too long or too fast does not do more good to health than a moderately vigorous session of thirty to fifty minutes. Read more here...
