Sometimes we are not incompetent enough. We want God to do miraculous signs and wonders but are so busy running our own lives that we leave him no room to do so.

How incompetent do you feel right now? Maybe the answer is just to become more reliant on him.

Song idea of the day:

I have learnt to depend on you
For you're the only one who sees me through.
In every place, in every way, you are the strength I need today
Lord turn my gaze from me to you
And help me to rely on you I pray.

(c)2008, Daniel Smart

You can find more quotes here every day.

Don't let schooling interfere with your education.

Even though this quote is not a sarcastic one but it can if we modify it to our situtaion like...

Don't let your girl friend interfere with your love

Even though this statement also no as humorous as the previous one  it has got some logic that is as same as the previous one but the previous one has meaning.

We can learn ourselves or through school what Mark Twain meant by this statement was that

Some persons believe that schooling will destroy the creativity and but for all school is the place where e have to find the education... so there are two meanings here.

Everything has its limit - iron ore cannot be educated into gold.

This is not sarcastic though but it is humorous...can be used against stupids.

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.

Wow a funny one...nobody thinks of writing a letter to the funeral...this can be thought as that Mark wrote a letter to the people that he was sorry for the death of so-and-so and  this when translated to more abstract -ness it gives out humor.

Courtney's mom set up a group a long time ago, where people can go to light virtual candles, think of her today... wear pink, light a candle, pray it forward.

bj's status: "waiting for monica to get home safely."

aww.

other's people concern for my safety -- where i have none -- is... nice and sweet.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice   everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly- MLK

It does not require a majority to prevail. Rather, an irate, tireless, minority, keen to set bush fires in peoples mind's- Sam Adams

Government action is not the whole answer to the present crisis, but it is an important partial answer. Morals cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. The law cannot make an employer love me, but it can keep him from refusing to hire me because of the color of my skin- MLK

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs- Marx

The object of government is the welfare of the people. The material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all citizens- Teddy Roosevelt

Judicial decrees may not change the heart; but they can restrain the heartless- MLK

I am not a Labor Leader; I do not want you to follow me or anyone else; if you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of this capitalist wilderness, you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I led you in, some one else would lead you out. You must use your heads as well as your hands, and get yourself out of your present condition- Eugene Debs

The soft, the complacent, the self-satisfied societies will be swept away with the debris of history- JKF

I cannot accept that to be realistic means to tolerate misery, violence and hate. I do not believe that the hungry man should be treated as subversive for expressing his suffering. I shall never accept that the law can be used to justify tragedy, to keep things as they are, to make us abandon our ideas of a different world. Law is the path of liberty, and must as such open the way to progress for everyone- Oscar Arias Sanchez

When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist- Dom Helder Camara

The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy- Alex Carey

Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society- Marx

I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law- MLK

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it? - Eleanor Roosevelt

LET ME HELP
Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

I UNDERSTAND YOU
People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this applies to any relationship.

I RESPECT YOU
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another person is a true equal.This strengthens bonds and brings closeness.

I MISS YOU
Perhaps more relationships could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other “I miss you”. This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how important you would feel, If you received an unexpected phone call from your partner in the middle of your workday, just say “I miss you.”

MAYBE YOU’RE RIGHT
This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. the implication when you say “may be you’re right” is the humility of admitting with someone, all you normally do is solidify the other person’s point of view. They or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying “may be you’re right” can open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the other person.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Many broken relationship could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed t own up that he has been in the wrong which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

I THANK YOU
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don’t take daily courtesies for granted, They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

COUNT ON ME
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. when troubles come, a true friend is there indicating “you can count on me”.

I’LL BE THERE
If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to to hospital or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase “I’ll be there. Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

GO FOR IT
We are all unique individuals. Dont try to get your frie3nds conformto your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you.. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to “go for it”.

I LOVE YOU
Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person’s deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Everyone need to hear those three little words: “I LOVE YOU”. Love is a choice. you can love even when the feeling is gone. ]]> http://wizdompath.wordpress.com/?p=546 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 05:57:56 +0000 exzede http://wizdompath.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/team-quotes-1/ Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. (Vince Lombardi)

Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success. (Unknown)

No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it. (H.E. Luccock)

Teamwork is the ability to work as a group toward a common vision, even if that vision becomes extremely blurry. (Unknown)

The nice thing about teamwork is that you always have others on your side. (Margaret Carty)

Many hands make light work. (John Heywood)

One piece of log creates a small fire, adequate to warm you up, add just a few more pieces to blast an immense bonfire, large enough to warm up your entire circle of friends; needless to say that individuality counts but team work dynamites. (Jin Kwon)

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent. (John Donne)

Cooperation is the thorough conviction that nobody can get there unless everybody gets there. (Virginia Burden)

Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable. (Kenyan Proverb)

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. (Henry Ford)

None of us is as smart as all of us. (Ken Blanchard)

It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn't matter who gets the credit. (Unknown)

Team means Together Everyone Achieves More! (Unknown)

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. (Andrew Carnegie)

Regardless of differences, we strive shoulder to shoulder... Teamwork can be summed up in five short words: "We believe in each other." (Unknown)

"I am not anti-gun. I'm pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We'd turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don't ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives."

-- Molly Ivins, controversial Texan columnist

My junior year of high school we read a series of essays in English class. One of those essays was written by Molly Ivins.  More than a decade later, I still remember being throughly impressed with her half-joking suggestion that we swap guns for knives and the defense weapon of choice.

She made a point; people don't accidentally kill people with knives.

     Beautiful.  Keep up the good work fellas, and LET'S GO RANGERS!

     One more hockey note to pass on, this one far more somber.  Alexei Cherepanov, a 19 year old Rangers Prospect,  died of a heart attack at a game in the Russian continental league today.  He had fallen on the ice during his last shift, and was talking to Jaromir Jagr on the bench after a shift when he collapsed. After a few frantic minutes trying to revive him on the bench, they took him to the locker room, where He had apparently been revived, but The Ambulance that usually stays at games had left, and took 15-20 minutes to return to the arena, and the defibrillators there had problems. He was pronounced dead later on in the day at the as yet unnamed hospital.  Click here to read the story.

    Alexei Cherepanov, dead at 19.  January 15, 1989 – October 13, 2008    Rest In Peace.

  A moment of silence, then onto other things.

       Business news: The Dow Jones Industrial Average went up an Amazing 11.08% today, 936.42 points ahead of the it's previous close, and at one point was up over 40 points more than that.  The Nasdaq Composite was up an equally amazing 11.81% , 194.74 points higher than it's start number.  The S&P 500 was up 11.38% or 104.13 points.  Is this the beginning of a stock market turnaround? I'm hoping so, but I tell you i am still expecting rough days ahead, there's still too much bad debt out there but things look good right now, and let's hope that this helps minimize the effect of the Mortgage based debt that dragged the system down last week.  More Good news.  As of 10:02 p.m.,  Dow Futures are up 185 points.  Nice.

    Let's hope the news stays positive.

   Political news, Slightly silly stuff as well.  Sarah Palin apparently mistook some zealous fans of hers for Hecklers.  Apparently there were a fair number of people out there and not everyone could hear her, and the Chant, "Louder, Louder" came from the back of the crowd.  But those in the front, and Misses Palin herself mistook the people in the cheap seats for hecklers and told them:   

I hope those protesters have the courage and honor to give veterans thanks for their right to protest.

      Well, I for one hope that either the McCain people get a proper sound system, or that Mrs. Palin get her hearing checked.   Some people in the crowd tried to tell here what was going on, but it fell on deaf ears. Things otherwise went off without a hitch. 

      Now a video: Fun with Penn Gillette.  A man whom I admire making a valid point about big government and people who are advocates thereof by asking a question.  Watch and enjoy.  BTW Penn, Yer hair is pretty dude, relax. Really.  

    That's about it for me.  Later!

Today's Nuggets, Via Wikiquote :  I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. "I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs." "I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking." "Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!" "Shut up! Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control. Here's love connection. Watch this and get fat and stupid. By the way, keep drinking beer, you fucking morons.   Bill Hicks
