Irony of Life

In 1923, nine of the wealthiest people in the world met at Chicago’s Edge Water Beach Hotel.

Their combined wealth, it is estimated, exceeded the wealth of the Government of the United States at that time. These men certainly knew how to make a living and accumulate wealth. Attending the meeting were the following men:

  1. The president of the largest steel company,
  2. The president of the largest utility company,
  3. The president of the largest gas company,
  4. The president of the New York Stock Exchange,
  5. The president of the Bank of International Settlements,
  6. The greatest wheat speculator,
  7. The greatest bear on Wall Street,
  8. The head of the World’s greatest Economy
    &
  9. A member of President Harding’s cabinet.

That’s a pretty impressive line-up of people by anyone’s yardstick.

Yet, 25 years later, where were those nine industrial giants?

Let’s examine what happened to them 25 years later.

  1. The President of the then largest steel company (Bethlehem Steel Corp), Charles M Schwab, lived on borrowed capital for five years before he died bankrupt.
  2. The President of the then largest gas company, Howard Hubson, went insane.
  3. One of the greatest commodity traders (Wheat Speculator), Arthur Cutten, died insolvent.
  4. The then President of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Whitney, was sent to jail.
  5. The member of the US President’s Cabinet (the member of President Harding’s cabinet), Albert Fall, was pardoned from jail just to be able to go home and die in peace.
  6. The greatest “bear” on Wall Street, Jesse Livermore committed suicide.
  7. The President of the then world’s greatest monopoly, Ivar Krueger, committed suicide.
  8. The President of the Bank of International Settlement, Leon Fraser, committed Suicide.
  9. The president of the largest utility company, Samuel Insull, died penniless.

What they forgot was how to “make” life while they got busy making money!

Money in itself is not evil; it provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, clothes for the needy. Money is only a medium of exchange.

We need two kinds of education:

a) One that teaches us how to make a living,

and

b) One that teaches us how to live.

There are many of us who are so engrossed in our professional life that we neglect our family, health and social responsibilities.

If asked why we do this, we would reply that “We are doing it for our family”.

Yet, our kids are sleeping when we leave home. They are sleeping when we come back home!! Twenty years later, we’ll turn back, and they’ll all be gone, to pursue their own dreams and their own lives.

Without water, a ship cannot move. The ship needs water, but if the water gets into the ship, the ship will face existential problems. What was once a means of living for the ship will now become a means of destruction.

Similarly we live in a time where earning is a necessity but let not the earning enter our hearts, for what was once a means of living will surely become a means of destruction for us as well.

So take a moment and ask yourself, “Has the water entered my ship?”
I hope not!

Hope the above story will drive all of us in a better direction in life.

”Alone I can ‘Say’ but
together we can ‘talk’.

‘Alone I can ‘Enjoy’ but
together we can
‘Celebrate’.

‘Alone I can ‘Smile’ but
together we can ‘Laugh’.

  • If I can, you can, we can

That’s the BEAUTY of
Human Relations.

We are nothing without
each other.

Let’s be careful with life. It is too short to misbehave and get away with it.

One day it will be a story.
We will be left with our good or evil work to face our creator.

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal,
but about Heart Attack’s . The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their
meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt
their drinking habit while
eating. For those who like to drink cold water, this
article is applicable to
you. It is very Harmful to have Cold Drink/Water during a meal. Because,
the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you
have just consumed. It will
slow down the digestion. Once this ‘sludge’
reacts with the acid, it will break down and be
absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats
and lead to cancer . It is best to drink hot soup
or warm water after a meal.

French fries and Burgers
are the biggest enemy of heart health. A coke after that gives more power to
this demon. Avoid them for
your Heart’s & Health.

Drink one glass of warm water just when you are about to go to bed to avoid clotting of the blood at night to avoid heart attacks or strokes.

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this
message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we’ll save at least

The Best Marriage Advice a Father Gave To His Son

By Rachael Pace,

One thing that is constant in life is change. But embracing change isn’t easy. Change brings with itself some unforeseen circumstances and challenges that we have never tackled or experienced before. However, it doesn’t always have to be like that. Our parents, our guardians and our mentors, with their own experience help us prepare for the changes that come our way, they tell us what to expect, what to do and what not to do.

Marriage is phenomenon that happens at least once in most people’s lives. It’s the biggest change that can transform our lives completely. When we get married, we intertwine our lives with another person and promise to spend the rest of our lives with them through both good and bad times. Marriage practically determines how fulfilling or difficult our lives are going to be. A little help from our parents can help us get married to the right person, for the right reasons and have a merry and satisfying marriage.

Here’s some advice that a father gave to his son about marriage:

1. There are plenty of women who will appreciate and enjoy the gifts that you buy for them. But not all of them will care to find out how much money you spent on them and how much you saved for yourself. Marry the woman who not only appreciates presents but also cares about your savings, your hard earned money.

2. If a woman is with you because of your wealth and riches, don’t get married to her. Marry a woman who ready to struggle with you, who is ready to share your problems.

3. Love alone is not a reason good enough to get married. Marriage is an extremely close and intricate bond. Though necessary, love is not sufficient for a successful marriage. Understanding, compatibility, trust, respect, commitment, support are some of the other attributes necessary for a long and happy marriage.

4. When you are having problems with your wife, always remember to never yell, never abuse, neither physically nor emotionally. Your problems will get solved but her heart can get scarred forever.

5. If your woman has stood by you and supported you to pursue your interests, you should return the favour by doing the same. Encourage her to pursue her passion and extend her as much support as she needs.

6. Always give more priority to being a husband than being a father. Your children will grow up and move on with their individual pursuits but, your wife is always going to be there with you.

7. Before complaining about having a nagging wife, think, do you fulfill your share of household responsibilities? She wouldn’t have to nag you if you did all that you were supposed to by yourself.

8. A time can come in your life when you might feel that your wife is no longer the woman you got married to. At that moment, contemplate, have you also changed, is there something that you have stopped doing for her.

9. Don’t squander your riches on your children, who never knew how hard you worked to achieve that. Spend it on the woman who endured all hardships of your struggles with you, your wife.

10. Always remember, you should never compare your wife to other women. She is putting up with something(you) that the other women aren’t. And if you still choose to compare her with other women make sure you are no less than perfect

11. If you ever wonder how good a husband and a father you have been in your life, don’t look at the money and wealth you have made for them. Look at their smiles and look at the twinkle in their eyes.

12. Be it your children or your wife, praise them in public but criticize only in private. You wouldn’t like them pointing out your shortcomings in front of your friends and acquaintances, will you?

13. The best gift you could ever gift to your children is to love their mother. Loving parents raise wonderful children.

14. If you want your children to take care of you when you grow old, then take care of your own parents. Your children are going to follow your example.

Wishing Azime and Comfort well deserve home.
