...Life's Challenges






Life's challenges are like the wind that blows from all corners. There is no sitting on the fence. You are either mobile and active--making progress or you are sliding down the slope with horrifying speed --then, there is nothing to wedge in -between. Progress. Upward or downward…

Do you wish to be the challenged or do you wish to be the challenger? Do you wish to listen or do you wish to speak? Do you wish to be a spectator or do you wish to be a player? Life is a challenge, yes. But life Itself is challengeable nonetheless – either you challenge it, or it will challenge you.

Imagine a person so ashamed to acknowledge his own identity; or, sadder yet, a person who doesn’t even know his own identity. Picture a soul so lacking in self-confidence that it cannot look you in the eye; or, sadder yet, cannot even look itself in the eye (if that were possible). Think of a mind so devoid of education that it rots away in its own ignorance, but not ignorant enough for the rotting to be in bliss.

More than 80 million children under 15 are estimated to be labouring in the poor countries of the world. According to one study, one in three children under 15 in east Africa is working and one in four children in west Africa is working. Their families are too poor to afford fees to send them to school. And often the countries themselves are too poor to provide schooling for all their children. In addition, the families need the extra income from their children’s labour in the poorest areas of the world where the average income can be less than $1 per day. Can you picture that?

Do something extraordinary today...and start changing a child's life for the better.
The problems children face in the developing world differ, but the cause is always the same - poverty.

It's easy to feel hopeless, but through child sponsorship, you truly can do something about it, something extraordinary.
You can personally reach out and connect with a child and their community and follow their progress as they overcome incredible hardships and build for the future


WHATEVER YOU ARE...AND WHATEVER YOU DO...PLEASE ,CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE EDUCATION OF A CHILD THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY YOURS TODAY!

Life's Struggle...

A guy who lives at Lake Macquarie (50 miles north of Gosford) saw a ball bouncing around on the lake--kind of strange...so he went to investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which became stuck in its mouth! The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface.
The man tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.

You probably wouldn’t have believed this, if you hadn’t seen the following pictures

Be kinder than necessary. Because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.’

When Medical Doctors Become Agent of Death...

"...I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug..."

That is part of the 'Hippocratic oath' which is taken by graduates of many modern medical schools. And history has it that Hippocrates-a Greek physician fashioned out this code of ethics for physicians.

Hippocrates died many centuries ago. It will come as no surprise to learn that Hippocrates is utterly, unabashedly ashamed in his grave of what modern medicine has become.

There are now doctors who will not even attend to a patient unless seventy percent of the bill is paid in advance (this is very rampant in the developing countries). As if that is not bad enough, there are now doctors who conspire to put an end to people's lives through genocidal means otherwise known as terrorism.

It was the most pathetic sight last weekend seeing a man in flames having attempted ramming a jeep car loaded with gasoline bomb into the Glasgow airport gate.
Reports have it that both the driver- who was severely burnt and his passenger are medical doctors--both are from the middle-east and they work in the National Health Service of Britain.

Five other people-all in the medical field were also arrested in connecttion with the plot to bomb and kill people in Britain in large numbers.

Medical doctors, plotting to kill. These doctors are hypocrites. They have turned their back on the Hippocratic oath...and they have desecrated that profession-medicine!

Terrorism as we knewn it or as it appear to us before last weekend, was an act of wickedness to kill or maim as many people as possible for some tainted reasons.

And we have come to also know that those behind such plots are very intelligent people. So, while the intelligent ones hide under the discomfort of some obscure caves planning and plotting, the not-so-intelligent dumbasses are used to execute such plans after drum tight brainwashing.

Bottomline, blow your sorry arses to pieces and take as many 'infidel' as you could possibly drag along.

Last weekend however, a new twist was added to the blind rage of these fanatics. Doctors. Highly trained and intelligent medical personnel are now the executors.

One begins to wonder what could possibly make medical doctors who have sworn to an oath to save lives--turn around to attempt to bomb people in large numbers.

Did the doctors have the hidden plans to kill people enmasse as soon as they qualified as doctors before going to medical schools? Or were they initiated and brainwashed into becoming suicide bombers as a result of their fanaticism...? Or is it sheer hatred of a people who welcomed them with open arms...?

From whichever angle we try to look at this ugly phenomenon called 'terrorism' and its lastest attempt in Britain, it is crystal clear that we have a huge problem in our hands...

Medical doctors are suppose to save lives...not blow them to pieces through bomb and terror.
