Who is rich and who is poor ...


One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the expressed purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

Appreciate every single thing you have!

Mexican Tattoo

You really have to try this, it is so much fun !!

No, I am not talking about getting yourself tattooed. It is this fun little .... ??? .... game?? ... trick?? ..... dunno what you would call it ??? ..... that one of my friends sent me and asked me to try. When I did, I was really puzzled how they could have done it. After playing it a few more times and studying it for quite a bit, I came to the conclusion that it must be some kind of special effects or something like that. Even then, exactly how they manage to get it so well done really baffles me. See it for yourself :)
