Once upon a time, there is a dude who lived at home with his mom and his pet cat. The dude went on a vacation trip to Mexico. Before he left he told him best friend to inform him of any emergencies.
A few days after, his cat climed up on the roof, fell off and died. His best friend immediately wired him the message, "Dude, your cat died."
In a few days he was back at home. The dude was angry at his friend for cutting short his trip.
"Why did not you break the news to me graudually? You know how close I was to my cat! You should let me know my cat climbed up on the roof today. The day after you can tell me that My cat fell of the roof, and slowly let me know he died," said the dude.
After the memorial service, the dude left again to continue his trip. A few days later he returned to his hotel, and there was a message waiting for him from his friend. The message said, "Your mother climbed up on the roof today."

A lizard casually climbs up a tree in the jungle one day and find monkey sitting on a branch, smokking weed. Lizard pesters him for some, but the monkey keeps saying, " No, you are lightweight, it will go right up to your head."
Eventually, Monkey gives Lizard some weed. Lizard starts smoking the weed, and fels a bit thristy. So he goes down to lake to get some water.
While the lizard drinks water at the lake, he see Alligator who notices that he seems a bit high. Lizard tells Alligator he has been smoking some weed with the Monkey up on the tree. So Alligator goes up to Monkey to ask if he can have some.
So as Monkey's sitting there, high as a kite, waiting for Lizard to get back, he sees Alligator climb up onto the branch.
"Bloody hell!" yells Monkey, "How much freakin' water did you drink?"
As the thumb touches all four fingers, so praise should permeate my whole prayer life.
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the
woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbour,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the Nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing?” The eagle answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
BullSh*t might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate… Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

NOW, wasn't that nice?
Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation.
One of them kept complaining of family problems.
Finally the other man said: "You think you have family problems?
Listen up to my situation. A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown up daughter.
We got married and I got myself a step-daughter.
Later, my father married my stepdaughter.
That made my step daughter my stepmother.
And my father became my stepson.
Also my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law.
Much later the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son.
This boy was my half brother because he was my father's son.
But he was also the son of my wife's daughter which made him my wife's grandson.
That made me the grandfather of my half brother.
This was nothing until my wife and I had a son.
Now the half sister of my son, my stepmother, is also his grandmother.
This makes my father the brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife.
I am my stepmother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew
and I am my OWN GRANDFATHER!!!!!!!!!!
And you think you have FAMILY PROBLEMS???
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as though just as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners.
She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see." "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did, and noted that they were soft.
The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.
The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently.
The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
Which are you?" she asked her daughter.
"When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff?
Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level?
How do you handle adversity?
Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so in the end your smile will uplift those who are crying.
You might want to send this message to those people who mean something to you (I JUST DID); to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.
It's easier to build a child than to repair an adult…
This is so true - May we all be COFFEE…
