Too Busy for a friend
One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of theother students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a spacebetween each name.
Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.
It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each studenton a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.
On Monday she gave each student his or her list.
Before long, the entire class was smiling."Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much." were most of the comments.
No one ever mentioned those papers in class again.
She never knew if they discussed them after class with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose.
The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.
Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student.
She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before.
He looked so handsome, so mature. The church was packed with his friends.
One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin.
The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.
As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her.
"Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes."Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot."
After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.
"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket.
"They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."
Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.
The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.
"Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."
All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around.
Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."
Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."
"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary."
Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her purse and showed her frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times, " Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists."
That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried.
She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.
The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.
So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important.
Tell them, before it is too late...

just came across this reading the paper today.
Quiz:
You are lost but you find a small hut in the woods. The owner tells you that all his rooms are haunted. Since it is already late and there is no way you can find your way out of the woods. You are forced to accept his hospitality. He offers you a choice of 4 rooms. Which room will you choose?
The room where:
A. A human head stares at you from outside your window.
B. The bathroom door creaks and there are sounds of a woman sighing.
C. The bed starts rocking violently everytime you lie in it.
D. A headless ghost sits at the foot of your bed.
Make your choice.
Here is what your choice means:
A. You need space and stability in your job, such as being a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.
B. You do not want to meet people. Find work as a civil servant, an engineer or an accountant.
C. You cannot sit still and do not like to be restrained. You like a job full of changees such as one in marketing, insurance or sales.
D. You need a large crowd. If you choose this, there is only one job for you - a superstar in your chosen field.
To tell the truth, i seriously doubt this quiz thing. i dont see how your choice of a particular haunting determines your character or the job that is supposedly most suited for you. Seems really far-fetched to me. especially since i believe that most people would choose the room whose ghost seems the most bearable to them. i rather listen to creaks and sighs than see something i dont think i would want to see.

I have the best luck in the world.
Today I was treated with a symphony of giggles, drilling, cheering and foot stomping.
While I was trying to tackle the monsters of integration and differentiation.
Thanks.
What have I done to offend the Gods??
