Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did..
Have a nice day & God bless!!

The Secret
One day, one friend asked another,
"How is it that you are always so happy?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down."
With her eyes smiling, she said,
"I know the Secret!"
"What secret is that?"
To which she replied,
"I'll tell you all about it,
but you have to promise to
share the Secret with others."
"The Secret is this:
I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy.
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don't need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."
The questioner's first thought was,
"That's too simple!"
But upon reflecting over her own life
she recalled how she thought a bigger house
would make her happy, but it didn't!
She thought a better paying job
would make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,
playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,
a simple gift from God.
Now you know it too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on to you!
YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's not really a secret...
We just have to believe it and do it...
Really trust God!

屬於自己的『後台朋友』
我們都已社會化深了，
所表現出來的都是想要別人羨慕的一面，
不好的都只想沉默或暗自憂傷，夜深人靜時真的需要好好想想，
不論是最親密的配偶也好、知心朋友也罷！
你所交的朋友中是否有這種人呢？
你有沒有一個屬於自己的『後台朋友』
莎士比亞說：「人生如舞台。」
人有前台，也有後台。
前台，是粉墨登場的場所，費盡心思，化好了妝，穿好了衣服，
準備好了台詞，端好了架式，調勻了呼吸，一步步踱出去，
使出渾身解數；該唱的，唱得五音不亂；
該說的，說得字正腔圓；
該演的，演得淋漓盡致；
於是博得滿堂彩，名利雙收，
然後躊躇滿志而回。
然而，當他回到後台，脫下戲服，卸下妝彩，
露出疲累而飢黃的臉部，
後台有沒有一個朋友在等他，
和他說一句真心話，道一聲辛苦了，
或默默交換一個眼色，這個眼色，
也許比前台的滿堂彩要受用、而且必要！
人有沒有這樣的朋友，很重要。
後台的朋友，是心靈的休息地。
在他面前，
不必化妝，
不必穿戲服，
不必做表情，
不必端架子，
可以說真心話，
可以說洩氣話，
可以說沒出息的話，
可以讓他知道你很脆弱、很懦弱、很害怕。
每次要走出前台時都很緊張、很厭惡，
因為你確知後台朋友只會安慰你，
不會恥笑你，不會奚落你。
況且，在他面前你早已沒什麼形象可言了，
也樂得繼續沒形象下去。
人生有一個地方，有一個人，
在這人面前，
可以不必有出息，
可以不必有形象，
可以暴露弱點，
可以全身都是弱點，
這是很大的解放。
有此解放，人乃可以在解放一陣子之後，
重拾勇氣，重披戲服再次化妝，
端起架子，走到前台去扮演該扮演的角色，
做一個人模人樣的人物，
博得世俗的讚美，獲得功成名就的利益。
話雖如此，後台朋友並非任何人隨處可以找到。
親如夫婦，往往還不能成為「休息地」，
這可視為人的弱點不堪披露。
可見人無論生死，都很難找到「後台朋友」，
因為他太珍貴了。
那你呢？有沒有這樣的一位「後台朋友」？
如果有，請好好珍惜。
用心體會，用愛感動。
