An image flashed across my TV screen

Another broken heart comes in to view

I saw the pain and I turned my back

Why can't I do the things I want to?

I'm willing yet I'm so afraid

You give me strength

When I say

I want to be Your hands

I want to be Your feet

I'll go where You send me

I'll go where You send me

And I'll try, yeah I'll try

To touch the world like You touched my life

And I find my way

To be Your hands

I've abandoned every selfish thought

I've surrendered everything I've got

You can have everything I am

And perfect everything I'm not

I'm willing, I'm not afraid

You give me strength

When I say

repeat chorus

This is the last time

I turned my back on You

From now on, I'll go so

Send me where You want me to

I finally have a mission

I promise I'll complete

I don't need excuses

When I am Your hands and feet

Just for today

The silence must be heard

The voices must be unleashed

The tears must be shed

The fears must be freed

The words must be said

The plea for help must be asked

Just for today

I shall speak my voice

I shall let my tears flow

I shall release my fears

I shall search for the words

I shall ask for help

Just for today

Will you hear the silence

Will you be there for me??

What do the following letters really say?

OPPORTUNITYISNOWHERE

Many people read "Opportunity is nowhere." And if that's the
way you see things, you're right.

But you might also fine that "Opportunity is now here." And
you would be just as right.

As in much of life, what you see is likely to be what you get.

Then, after some time, I rowed my little boat into deeper water. There were great storms, mighty winds, tremendous waves, and sometimes I felt so alone

But I have noticed my little rowboat is now a mighty ship manned by my friends and loved ones; and beautiful calm seas, warm sunny days, and nights filled with comfortable dreams always double after a storm.

Now, I could never go back and sit on the bank. In fact, I search for deeper water. Such is life when lived."

Post by: opiesilver on March 16, 2006, 03:57:57 PM: BILL GATES TALKS TO TEENAGERS Love him or hate him, Bill Gates sure hits
the nail on the head with this!

To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they
did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,
politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no
concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the
real world ...........................

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem.
The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good
about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping:
they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine
about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are
now.
They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and
Listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were.
So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's
generation,try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life
HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades And they'll
give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer.
This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off
And very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF.
Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have
to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

ANNE RICE, Interview with the Vampire

I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart — one of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of man. Who has not, a hundred times, found himself commiting a vile or a stupid action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not? Have we not a perpetual inclination, in the teeth of our best judgement, to violate that which is Law, merely because we understand it to be such?

Post by: ZWarrior on November 28, 2008, 02:17:31 PM: The Law of The Garbage Truck
=============================

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy; and I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...... 'Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.'

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it.
