Why our Vehicle Shouldn’t Respond Like our Computer?

"If the auto industry had developed technology like the computer industry, we would all be driving vehicles with the following characteristics:

For no reason whatsoever, your vehicle would crash...twice a day.

Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new vehicle.

Occasionally, your vehicle would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the vehicle, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your vehicle to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

Macintosh would make a vehicle that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Vehicle Has Performed an Illegal Operation" warning light.

The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.

Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your vehicle would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

Every time a new vehicle was introduced, vehicle buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old vehicle.

You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."

Childhood a Time Gone By - 6 is an Age to Remember

In our youth the sun seemed to shine everyday, the trees seemed to reach up to the stars, every landscape was our playground and every playground revealed a treasure. We knew no fear and embraced our world with excitement and wonder.

Our childhood holds precious memories of a time gone by, an innocent view - yet not shattered, a safe place - sleep is deep and undisturbed, and time goes on forever and ever.

If I could travel back in time, to the age when I was six, I would stop time here for an eternity. It was a time when I could climb the highest tree without the fear of falling, a time when the simplest things could become a toy, and exploration of the neighbourhood could only rival Christopher Columbus.

As adults, responsibilities and hidden fears have replaced young passion - for toys that are more challenging; travel that is more exotic; rewarding accomplishments; and the giving of ourselves for the care and happiness of our loved ones, and for others.

Why When We Hate does Physical and Spiritual Harm

It has been said, “When a man hates the only person he hurts is himself, because the person he hates does not know his hate, and others don’t care.”

We all from time to time, have been filled with rage, hatred and loathing because it is in our make-up as human beings. This saying really makes one think about the damage we do to our own selves, both physically and spiritually with little consequence. We accomplish nothing.

The Best Mother's Day Poem - What is a Mother?

A mother is someone who knows all our needs
Our hopes and our dreams and desires.

With a genuine interest in all that we do
Someone who guides and inspires.

The heart of a mother is full of compassion
Is generous, kind, and forgiving.

The smile of a mother is loving and tender
And adds so much gladness to living.

A mother is someone with infinite patience
Who soothes all our troubles away.

Someone with limitless faith in her children
And love for them day after day.

A mother can make a home out of a house
By being just thoughtful and sweet.

By her warm understanding and gentleness, too
That makes life more rich and complete.

A mother is full of true wisdom and strength
Of loveliness, insight, and grace.

She is someone whose love we will cherish forever
Yes, no one can take MOTHER'S place!
