He who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger.
-- Japanese proverb

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later.

Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, "...this is love... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person...."

"What is marriage then?" the student asked.

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage."

You've all heard of the Air Force's ultra-high-security, super-secret base in Nevada; known, simply, as "Area 51?"

Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks (out at Area 51) were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their "secret" base. They, immediately, impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into an interrogation room.

The pilot's story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight, during the investigation.

By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing (complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison), told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way.

The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up, again!

Once again, the MP's surrounded the plane. Only, this time, there were two people in the plane.

The same pilot jumped out and said, "Do anything you want to me. But, my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!"

A drunkard was brought to court.
Just before the trial there was a 
  commotion in the gallery.
The judge pounded the gravel on his table
  and shouted, "Order, order."
The drunkard immediately responded,
  "Thank you, your honor,
  I'll have a scotch and soda."

When I am not messaging U
  it does not mean that I have forgotten U,
I am just giving U time to MISS ME!!

They say a person needs just three things
  to be truly happy in this world:
someone to love,
something to do and
something to hope for.

Everyone has beauty
  but not everyone sees it.
