This is not intended for anyone in particular, but everyone in general.... I posted this on my "hunks" thread...and I think it is appropriate here....Si has numerous threads that are serious for stock discussion...other coffee shop threads are stress relievers...how we want to post should not be critiqued, unless we are going into personal attacks...this thread used to be a lot of fun...and yes, a frat house, but one that admired the ladies, and did not put them down...my thread is one where you put your feet up and have a bit of fun....no more, no less....and we never put anyone down...where is the fun in that???? The Power Of Words...Be Special To Others A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. This story teaches two lessons: 1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day. 2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words...it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another. Be Special to others. Happy trading everyone, REdhead
