80/20 Rule
QUOTE ' DO NOT LOOK BACK AND ASK WHY, LOOK FORWARD AND ASK WHY NOT'
A very valuable lesson to learn ... from unquoted author
Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?'
In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or women) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.
But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT
But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and loosing the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had.
Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 'Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not'
Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive.
More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.
Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 20%.
Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature.
You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: 'I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha . . ..'
Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt Or because your husband is the quiet type,
your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.
But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.
Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!
That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.
But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.
But I'm not just talking about marriage.
I'm talking about life!
About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.
Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? 'They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!'
I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class -- because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?
The main message???
If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are, you are first class!

SELOKA AURAT
Tutup aurat satu tuntutan,
Dalam keluarga wajib tekankan,
Kalau tak ikut gunalah rotan,
Demi melaksanakan perintah Tuhan.
Aurat ditutup mestilah lengkap,
Tudung litup termasuk skap,
Mini telekong pun orang cakap,
Elok dipandang tak payahpun 'make up'.
Sekurang-kurangnya berbaju kurung,
Lebih elok jubah mengurung,
Kaki pula mesti bersarung,
Ditumit kaki syaitan bertarung.
Kalau wanita menutup aurat,
Orang jahat tak berani ngorat,
Bahkan boleh menjadi ubat,
Orang memandang boleh bertaubat.
Pakaian modern(?) memanglah hebat,
Harganya mahal walaupun ketat,
Walaupun cantik tetapi singkat,
Orang memakaipun nampak pusat.
Berseluar ketat bajupun ketat,
Jarangnya pulak boleh dilihat,
Orang yang memakai terus dilaknat,
Oleh Allah, Rasul dan Malaikat.
Apa yang aneh bila dipandang,
Lengan pendek tapi bertudung,
Nampak seperti orang yang kudung,
Mata terpandang kaki tersandung.
Lagilah aneh bila di fikir,
Baju kebaya tudung berukir,
Nampak dada iman terjungkir,
Kain terbelah peha terukir.
Bila ditanya kenapa begitu,
Dia kata fesyennya dah macam tu,
Di dalam hati niat tertentu,
Menggoda jantan sudahlah tentu.
Menutup aurat boleh berfesyen,
Tetapi jangan menunjuk eksyen,
Sesuaikan diri ikut profesyen,
Kalau dilaknat tak guna sesen.
Kalau nak "Make Up" biarlah padan,
Jangan terlebih bila berdandan,
Minyak wangi cuba elakkan,
Bedak dan gincu sekadar keperluan.
Kasut tinggi cuba jauhi,
Kerana ia melahirkan bunyi,
Boleh menarik perhatian lelaki,
Perbuatan ini dibenci Ilahi.
Apatah lagi menghentakkan kaki,
Menarik perhatian orang laki-laki,
Melenggok punggung menggoda hati,
Ustaz melihat pun separuh mati.
Buat apa nak tayang jambul,
Kecantikan tak usah ditonjol-tonjol,
Mahkota disimpan tak jadi bisol,
Memakai tudung Islam tersimbol.
Selokaku ini bukanlah jahat,
saja mahu peringat,
Kepada semua para sahabat,
Terutama sekali rakan sejawat.
Kalau nak ikut nasihat ini,
Jangan bertangguh ubahlah diri,
Benda yang baik tak payah diuji,
Akan terserlah akhlak terpuji.
Kepada semua kawan lelaki,
Jangan tergelak wanita diperli,
Keluarga kita tak terkecuali,
Terutama sekali anak dan bini.
Sudahkah kita tanamkan iman,
Menutup aurat sepanjang badan,
Ke sana sini dilindungi Tuhan,
Keluarga menjadi contoh teladan.
Setakat ini seloka kami,
Harap dapat menghibur hati,
Yang baik bolehlah anda ikuti,
Kalau boleh besok mulai.

Keep Walking.....
Jus to check this out......
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot.
Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.
It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.
God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.
So, keep walking...
Good one. Don't miss the attachments

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and men str ual diso rd ers, ear nose and throat diseases.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water .....interesting
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days
2. Ga str ic - 10 days

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.
Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals .not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed . It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
