Let's learn English!
Daughter: Guess what, Mom. I got it.
Mother: Great. That's super.
Father: What's going on? So, what did you get me?
Daughter: Nothing. I got my driver's license. Okay. Bye.
Father: Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?
Daughter: Mom said I could take the car to school this morning, and . . .
Father: Hold on here. I've prepared a few rules regarding the use of the motor vehicles in this house.
Daughter: Like what?
Father: Let me get my notes here.
Daughter: Dad! That looks like a book? Mom, Dad's being mean to me.
Father: Okay, let me get my reading glasses here. Okay, here we are. Rule number one: No driving with friends for the first six months.
Daughter: What?
Father: Teenagers often lack the judgment to drive responsibly, especially when several teenagers are involved. I mean they speed, they joyride, they cruise around town way past midnight.
Daughter: But that's not me! Do I really need this lecture? This is such a drag!
Father: Furthermore, who really needs a car when a pair of shoes will work? I mean, life was different when I was your age. In fact, I used to walk to school . . .
Daughter: Yeah, yeah. I know. Both ways uphill in ten feet of snow. I've heard this story many times.
Father: Yeah. Oh, where were we? Oh yes. Rule number two: You always must wear your seat belt and obey the rules of the road.
Daughter: Duh. I wasn't born yesterday.
Father: Okay, rule number three: You can't drive long distances at night because you might get drowsy and drive off the road. But driving to the movie theater is fine.
Daughter: But the movie theater is right across the street from our house.
Father: Exactly, so you can just park in the driveway and walk there.
Daughter: Mom! Dad's being unreasonable.
Father: And rule number four: You should never use a cell phone while driving. That could cause an accident.
Daughter: But YOU do.
Father: That's different.
Daughter: How's it different? You even need my help to turn your cell phone on.
Father: And rule number five: Remember that I love you, and I'm just a protective father who wants his daughter to always be safe.
Daughter: Does that mean I can take the car now?
Father: Well, I don't know.
Daughter: Please dad, please. You're the best dad in the whole wide world.
Father: That's not what you said earlier.
Daughter: Hey, having the car keys in my hands changes my whole perspective on life.
Father: Well, okay. I guess if I'm considered the best dad in the world for five minutes, then I'll accept that.
Daughter: Yeah.
Father: Okay, but drive carefully and don't forget to fill up the car with gas before you come home. [Bye. Love ya guys.] Okay. Hon, do you think I did the right thing?
Mother: Yeah. She has to grow up sometime.

You have stormy day and sunny day, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of impoverishment and abundance, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of disappointment and encouragement, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of failures and success, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of criticism and appreciation, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of becoming yourself weak and strong, anyway you smile at both.
The entire God's creation is having this bipolar phenomenon, let us understand the dual nature of each aspect of human life. We have to endure the difficulties and discomfort for a while to taste the enjoyment of splendours and comforts that followed immediately. Everything is interchangeable. So let us makeup our mind to accept the both equally, and let our emotions be balanced knowing this truth.
Strike out everything with your smile, failure never touches you.
"Smile" is one of the wonderful traits that humans exclusively endowed with, it makes our hearts delightful even in the deep sorrow. It has the remarkable impact on our physical and emotional health if it becomes our natural habit. It enhances the beauty of both our face and mind.
"Keep smiling to enrich the life."

Man: Hi, Sis. I just came over to drop off the DVDs you wanted, and . . . Hey, wow!? Where did you get all of this stuff?
Woman: I bought it. So, what do you think of my new entertainment center? And the widescreen TV . . .
Man: Bought it?
Woman: . . . and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one.
Man: But where did you get the dough to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad again, did you?
Woman: Of course not. I got it with this!
Man: This? Let me see that . . . Have you been using Dad's credit card again?
Woman: No, silly. It's mine. It's student credit card.
Man: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these?
Woman: I got an application in the mail.
Man: Well, why did you get one in the first place?
Woman: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash . . . like the plane ticket I got recently.
Man: What plane ticket?
Woman: Oh yeah, my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break, and course, I needed some new clothes for that so . . .
Man: I don't want to hear it. How does having a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending . . . as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump!
Woman: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit . . .
Man: . . . of $20,000?
Woman: No, no quite that high. Anyway, . . .
Man: I've heard enough.
Woman: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player . . .
Man: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea, but this isridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill?
Woman: Um, with my birthday money? It's coming up in a week.
Man: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That's the least I can do.

If you say or even think you can't do something, then you won't.
It's that simple. And this is the saddest truth there is in the process of being successful.
There are so many hurdles you will face in your journey to wherever it is that you're going, there's no getting around it. There will be plenty of circumstances and people and limits that you will face insisting that you can't.
NO matter how positive, how motivated or how successful you become, there will always be obstacles in your way, it's just a natural part in the process. However, the biggest obstacle you will likely face is yourself. I can pretty much guarantee the only thing standing between you and your most outlandish dreams and goals is the limits you place on yourself.
You can accomplish almost anything you can dream of with the right tools and motivation.
But you will not accomplish even your most ordinary goals if you say you can't. You will never know how hard, or how easy something really is until you actually try with all your might if you never even give it a chance.
"Can't" is the ultimate serial killer of Chance.
You might not even be aware that you are you're own worst enemy, and how much you are limiting yourself simply by your own conviction that you can't. So evaluate the things you think you "can't" and turn it into could be. Start thinking, and then knowing you can and prove yourself wrong knowing you tried your hardest. Then when you think you've done everything you can do, and you can't do anything more, think again.
You CAN do it.

The Brazilian who has been brought back to Camp Nou in the capacity of an ambassador and Iniesta spent five seasons together at the Nou Camp, winning two La Liga titles and a
Champions League as Barcelona got the better of rivals RealMadrid in Spain.
In his new book, Iniesta recounts how Ronaldinho’s late night phone call to drop the bombshell he was joining Real Madrid at the end of the season inspired to team to put in one of the memorable Clasico performances.
“A few days before the Clasico against Real Madrid, ‘Dinho’ called me at home at night. I answered and he told me:
‘Andres, I know it’s 3am, but I have to confess something. In June I will be leaving Barca. My brother has an agreement with Real Madrid. It’s an incredible amount that I can’t refuse.
"You’re young, you can understand – but please do not tell anyone in the locker room or the club. Do not betray me I trust you more than anyone.
Andres, good night.'
“He didn’t give me time to say
anything.
The next day, we were in training and I felt an awkward atmosphere around me. The whole team was silent and they were all greeting Ronaldinho like never before.
“When the day of the Clasico came, in the locker rooms of Santiago Bernabeu, ‘Dinho’ told us:
‘Guys, today is an important game, they are strong, but these days I discovered that we were like a family. I called each of you during the night and told you that I was leaving in June, but none of you spoke. "After that I realised that we were ready to suffer in silence rather than betray each other. I’ll stay here for a long time, now let’s go onto the field and teach a lesson to these players of Real Madrid.’”
Iniesta is quoted as reported by the Independent Ronaldinho who scored twice and received a standing ovation from the Bernabeu crowd.
Not only did Ronaldinho inspire his teammates, but he clearly also inspired himself as he was given a standing ovation by the Real Madrid fans after scoring twice during Barcelona’s
dominant 3-0 win.
