Powerful Words

Two Letter Words
Using big words shows you have a good vocabulary. However, there’s lots of power in little words. consider the “Pickles” comic a few days ago. It mentioned the ten most powerful 2-letter words.

I thought that was pretty good. There’s lot of truth in it. There’s a lot of things in this world that will not be accomplished unless we do it ourselves. Maybe you have a list of such things. If you don’t have a list, make a list. Making a list is the first step in getting things done. The second step is motivating yourself to get started. Then go at it, little by little, whether giant strides or inches of progress, work toward making headway!

Remember,

If it is to be,
it is up to me.

Joke of the Day

Mick, from Dublin, appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 pounds.

"You've done very well so far," said Chris Tarrant, the show's presenter, "but for a million pounds you've only got one life-line left - phone a friend. Everything is riding on this question, will you go for it?"

"Sure," said Mick. "I'll have a go!"

"Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?

a) Sparrow
b) Thrush
c) Magpie
d) Cuckoo

"I haven't got a clue." said Mick, ''so I'll use last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy back home in Dublin ."

Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.

"Dat’s nothing, Mick!" cried Paddy. "Dat's simple, It's a cuckoo."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm real sure."

Mick hung up the phone and told Chris, "I'll go wit Cuckoo as my answer."

"Is that your final answer?" asked Chris.

"Dat it is, Maam."

There was a long - long pause, and then the presenter screamed, "Cuckoo is the correct answer, Mick, you've won 1 million pounds!"

The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.

"Tell me, Paddy, how in Heaven's name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest?"

"Because he lives in a stupid clock!"
