BOB TOOK THE MONEY

Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM.

He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV.

The 10:00 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

The blonde looked at Bob and said, “Do you think he’ll jump?”

Bob says, “You know, I bet he’ll jump.”

The blonde replied, “Well, I bet he won’t.”

Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, “You’re on!”

Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.

The blonde was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Bob saying, “Fair’s fair. Here’s you money.”

Bob replied, “I can’t take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 PM news and so I knew he would jump.”

The blonde replied, “I did too; but I didn’t think he’d do it again.”

Bob took the money……

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR THOSE 55 YEARS OLD & ABOVE

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR THOSE 55 YEARS OLD & ABOVE 

1. Focus on enjoying people, not on indulging in or accumulating Material things. 
2. Plan to spend whatever you have saved. You deserve to enjoy it and the few healthy years you have left. Travel if you can afford it. Don’t leave anything for your children or loved ones to quarrel about. By leaving anything, you may even cause more trouble when you are gone. 
3. Live in the here and now, not in the yesterdays and tomorrows. It Is only today that you can handle. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may not even happen.
4. Enjoy your grandchildren (if you are blessed with any) but don’t Be their full time baby sitter. You have no moral obligation to take care of them. Don’t have any guilt about refusing to baby sit anyone’s kids, including your Own grandkids. Your parental obligation is to your children. After you have raised Them into responsible adults, your duties of child-rearing and babysitting are finished. Let your children raise their own offspring. 
5. Accept physical weakness, sickness and other physical pains. It is a part of the aging process. Enjoy whatever your health can allow.  

6. Enjoy what you are and what you have right now. Stop working hard For what you do not have. If you do not have them, it’s probably too late.
7. Just enjoy your life with your spouse, children, grandchildren And
 friends. People, who truly love you, love you for yourself, not for what you
 have. Anyone who loves you for what you have will just give you misery.
8. Forgive and accept forgiveness. Forgive yourself and others. Enjoy peace of mind and peace of soul. (Accept fellow golfers as they are, without malice or personal hatred.) 
9. Befriend death. It’s a natural part of the life cycle. Don’t be afraid of it. Death is the beginning of a new and better life. So, prepare yourself not for death but for a new life with the Almighty. 

10. Be at peace with your Creator. For…He is all you have after You leave this life.
 

જીવનનું શું છે અમારું ? માત્ર આશાની નનામી છે

જીવનનું શું છે અમારું ? માત્ર આશાની નનામી છે
નિરાશાએ દીધી છે ખાંધ, દર્દોની સલામી છે
દુ:ખોએ દાહ દીધો છે, ચિતા ખડકાવી ચિંતાની
વિરહની આગ જોઇ જા કે એમાં કાંઇ ખામી છે
