How Many Possible Triangles ?

Remember the last letter of the name of that country........

Remember the last letter in the name of that animal ....

A Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?

The target was to get to the top of a high tower.

A crowd of people had gathered to observe the race and encourage the participants.....

Quite Honestly:None of the onlookers believed that the baby frogs could actually accomplish getting to the

top of the tower.

Words like:"Åh, it’s too difficult!!! ……. They’ll never reach the top."

Or

"Not a chance……... The tower is too high!"

At the end everybody had given up, except the one determined to reach the top!

One competitor asked the winner, what was his secret?

QUESTION: Three frogs sat on a log and one decided to jump off. How many frogs were left on the log?

ANSWER: Three.

Explanation: Although almost everyone answers "two," the correct answer is "three."

Just because the frog decided to jump off the log does not necessarily mean that it actually did it.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal.

The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach…..

It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled,

But it is a calamity not to dream.

what happens when a man says

to himself, I have failed three

times, and what happens when

he says, I am a failure S. I. Hayakawa

Rest Is History

Prophet Muhammad PBUH

He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the

bottle and keep it in the cupboard.

His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went

to the bottle fascinated by its color and

He looked at his wife and uttered just

five words.

• The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behaviour. The Child is dead.

• He can never be brought back to life.

• There is no point in finding fault with the mother.

• Besides, if only he had taken time to Keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.

• No one is to be blamed.

• She had also lost her only child.

• What she Needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.

That is exactly what he gave her.

They may forget what you said,

But they will never forget how you made them feel.
