Problem Solving!

This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway.It has a spectacular view of Donner Lake and Donner Pass on Route 80.



A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge (Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit, Truckee) on Saturday when two cars also crossing the bridge scared the bear into jumping over the edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge and was able to pull itself to safety. Authorities decided that nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound asleep on the edge.





After securing a net under the bridge the bear was tranquilized, fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.







There is a moral to this story you know:

This old bear made a wrong move and found he was hanging by his nails. Somehow he was able to pull himself up onto the ledge where he saw he was in a very bad, impossible situation and what did he do? Yep, he took a nap and sure enough the situation took care of itself while he was asleep. The moral is that when confronted with a bad situation sometimes the best solution is to take a nap...sleep on it and refresh your mind to think anew.

And yea, this is another forwarded email. Stop cursing me bitch! =P

Forward forward keep going forward!

Me is so lazy busy that I have no time to write anything here. So, I browse thru my email folder and decided to post this forwarded email here. Read it! Its not something funny or ask u to send this to 10 friends or u will have bad luck for 3 years.

And here we go,

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a female village moneylender. The female Moneylender, who was old, fat and ugly, fancied the farmer's handsome son, Cliff.

So she proposed a bargain.

She said she would forego the farmer's debt if she could marry his son. Both the farmer and his son were horrified by the Proposal.

So the cunning female moneylender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter. She told them that she would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty moneybag. Then the son would have to pick one pebble from the bag.

If he picked the black pebble, he would become her husband and her father's debt would be forgiven. If he picked the white pebble he need not marry her and his father's debt would still be forgiven. But if he refused to pick a pebble, his father would be thrown into Jail

They were standing on a pebble-strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As she picked them up, the sharp-eyed son noticed that she had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag.

She then asked the son to pick a pebble from the bag.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the son? If you had to advise him, what would you have told him?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:


A) The son should refuse to take a pebble.

B)The son should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the moneylender as a lying, backstabbing female cheat.

C)The son should pick a black pebble and sacrifice himself in order to save his father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking..

The son's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if he chooses the above logical answers.

What would you recommend to the son to do?

Well, here is what he did....

The son put his hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, he fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," he said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that he had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit her Dishonesty, the son changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.


MORAL OF THE STORY:

Most complex problems do have a solution.

Trust your feeling.

Gah.. not in the mood to write anything now. I planned the whole post while driving back home but totally lost the mood to write once i sign in. It was about a little relationship problem someone is having. And me being a good listener decided to give a little comment.



I dunno whether she took my words or not but I think I gave her a very good point for consideration. Gah.. enough already. So sick of those love story at first, then few months later, non stop arguing. If u think he dont love you anymore, screw it and ask him to fuck off. Holding on will never make it better.



I told u many times before that u will never grow up if u never actually feel it yourself. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will rot like all flowers too.. they never last.

Farnee?

A picture is worth a thousand words. (Gah..this sentence again? LOL)

The Honda rider was traveling at such a 'very high speed', his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155 mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.

All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.

At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.



In other words, they didn't even have time to say, 'Oh, FUCK!'

What is there to live for?

A picture tells a thousand words. This one worth more than a thousand.

A short and simple post sometimes is more meaningful than one with only words.*sense the emo-ness now?? :D*

All the best girl. Do what you think is right for you. I couldn't give more comments because I am not experienced in this case. And I dont think I should be the one telling you what to do.

Right! I'm a failure too.

=/

Good Bye.

也想你携手衝過终点

甚至他生再遇见

仍想起今天

便约定相依[在他]身边”

The Sun set because of me


The best sunset in the city. Apparently, that day ended like a tragedy. I will never forget that day.
Emo moments should be cherished!
