WHAT WILL MATTER?!!!
WHAT WILL MATTER?!!!
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten,
will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.
So what will matter?
How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;
not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice
that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew,
but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten,
will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;

Male Thoughts!
Thought 1 #
When men are born, their mother's get the compliments and the flowers.
When they are married, their brides get the presents and the publicity.
When they die, their widows get the life insurance.
What do women want to be liberated from?
------------------------------------------------------------
Thought 2
The average man's life consists of :
Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going,
Forty years of having his wife ask the same question;
and at the end, the mourners wondering too.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thought 3 #
A Man was walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind,
"If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you."
The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him.
The man was astonished.
He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road.
Once again the voice shouted, "Stop! Stand still!
If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die."
The man did as he was instructed,
just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.
The man asked. "Who are you?"
I am your guardian angel," the voice answered.
"Oh, yeah?" the man asked "And where the hell were you
when I got married?"
--------------------------------------------------------
Thought 4 #
Everyone in the wedding ceremony was watching the radiant bride
as her father escorted her down the aisle to give away to the groom.
They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her father
and placed some thing in his hand.
Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father
by the bride.
The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him
to divulge the secret and say something.
So he announced "Ladies and Gentlemen today is the luckiest day of my life."
Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him
and continued, "My daughter finally, finally returned my credit card to me."
The whole audience including priest started laughing
..........but not the poor groom!

Which Country will Win The World Cup?
This theory points to Brazil as the winner
This theory is currently being circulated in the cyber world. Will it work this year? Lets just wait and see if this theory is proven right.
1. Brazil won in 1994 and before that won in 1970
1970 + 1994 = 3964
2. Argentina won its last world cup in 1986 and before that in 1978
1978 + 1986 = 3964
3. Germany won its last world cup in 1990 and before that in 1974
1974 + 1990 = 3964
4. Brazil won the championships in 2002 and 1962
1962 + 2002 = 3964
So it is logical, if we want to predict what will happen this year,
to then look for another year that would verify the formula.
3964 - 2006 = 1958 ...
Brazil was the champion in 1958, so we conclude Brazil will win this year.
Good luck to all of you who put on bets this World Cup.
