If the mountain won't move, build a road around it.
If the road won't turn, change your path.
If you are unable to even change your path, just transform your mind.
Venerable Sheng Yen, 1929-2009

Old & New - Logically Correct
An elderly lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said, 'Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?
''Yes, I know,' said the lady. 'I need both my hands to hold onto this hat.
''But madam, you must know that you are not wearing any underwear and everything is exposed!' said the gentleman in earnest.
The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied, 'Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!'

Tale Of The 2 Ghosts
Two ghosts met and both chat about how they died.
1st ghost : How u died?
2nd ghost : I freezed to death.
1st ghost : How does it feel?
2nd ghost : Actually, I was imprisoned in the refrigerator. Initially, I was shivering, then my whole body started to freeze, later I felt the whole world was dark and I died. Fortunately, I died with not much sufferings.
1st ghost : You're so pitiful.
2nd ghost : How about you? How did u die?
1st ghost : I died from heart attack.
2nd ghost : I see, why did u have a heart attack?
1st ghost : Actually, I found out that my wife is having an affair with another man. One day, when I came back from work, saw a pair of man shoes outside my house. Then, I realized that the guy was in my house with my wife. When I rushed into the bedroom, my wife was alone. I must find where that bastard is hiding. So I searched the toilet, I ran downstairs, looked in the storeroom, but the bastard was not there. So, I ran upstairs and searched the wardrobe, but I found nothing. Because I was too tired of all that running, I got a heart attack and died.
2nd ghost : Why didn't you look for the bastard in the fridge? If you did, both of us will be still alive now!!

Confidence, Trust, Hope
CONFIDENCE
Once all village people decided to pray for rain.
On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella.
....... that's Confidence.
TRUST
The feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air; he laughs, because he knows you will catch him.
....... that's Trust.
HOPE
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still we have plans for the coming day.
....... that's Hope.
