(fwded) How often do you let other people’s nonsense/garbage change your mood?

Sixteen years ago, I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened.

I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!

The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean…he was friendly.

So, I said, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’

And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

‘Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did.’

I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, ‘I’m not going to do it anymore.’

Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe that everything happens for a reason.

Never let the garbage truck run over you….

(fwded. me kinda like doin ‘public service announcement lidat! haha…)

Avoid Drinking Fresh Sugar Cane Juice

This email was sent by a friend whose father is working with the Ministry of the Environment in S’pore.
Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their cooked food, their store hygiene, etc.

They found sugar cane juice has the highest content of bacteria among all food. In fact, it has exceeded the set limit. Hence, these guys had to find out why. They went round all sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their sugar cane, wash their glasses, their entire procedure. But they couldn’t find the problem.

One day, they stayed till closing time and discovered some shocking facts! Whenever, the hawkers closed their stores, they would wash the floor with detergent..

As we know, the remaining sugar canes will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing and as
sugar canes are very porous, they tend to absorb whatever liquid around them. Besides the soapy water, the dirt on hawkers’ boots, cats’ urine, etc, will all be absorbed??

A friend, who loved sugar cane juice, was pregnant. She was always drinking sugar cane juice. Anyway, one day she miscarried and the fetus was already like 6 or 7 months old, I think. When the doctors did an autopsy to find out why all of a sudden the fetus had died inside her, they found traces of some chemical
substance, which was found in cat urine. Large traces of it.

While it would not be able to harm adults, it was extremely toxic to babies, what more a fetus? So they tried to determine how this cat urine thing could have ended up in the fetus. This meant that it had to be digested by the mother, right? And the only logical conclusion they could come up with was that
since these sugar cane juice stall holders just leave the canes lying around on the wet and dirty floor, it would not be impossible to think that stray cats could have peed on those sugar canes or near those sugar canes.

R.I.D.I.C.U.L.O.U.S.!!!!

they think with risalah, ppl will throw away few-hundred ringgit concert tix. the story below… =D

Pemuda PAS: Avril mengghairahkan
Abdul Rahim Sabri | Aug 26, 08 2:27pm

kemaskini 6:49pm Berbeza dengan sebuah persatuan pelajar Islam yang menganggap penampilan dan muzik Avril Lavigne boleh diterima, Pemuda PAS tetap menyifatkan penyanyi punk pop itu “mengghairahkan dan seksi.”

Timbalan Ketua Pemuda PAS Nasrudin Hassan tidak bersetuju dengan pandangan Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia (PKPIM) semalam.

“Dalam video klip di televisyen, Avril adalah penyanyi yang memaparkan tarian mengghairahkan.

“Avril adalah penyanyi seksi dan penampilannya, saya anggap, sebaris dengan Mariah Carey,” katanya kepada Malaysiakini, diminta mengulas presiden PKPIM Mohd Hilmi Ramli yang berpendapat “lebih baik sedikit daripada artis-artis luar negara” yang pernah membuat persembahan di Malaysia.

“Lagu-lagunya tidak membentuk etika dan moral yang baik, leka dan melalaikan,” kata Nasrudin.

Kalau generasi muda ingin berhibur, tambahnya, masih ada artis lain yang tidak keterlaluan, berpakaian tidak seksi dan tidak menampilkan gerak-geri yang merangsangkan nafsu serta lagu-lagu yang tidak memuja wanita dan dadah.

“Pemuda PAS tidak ada halangan, tidak jumud untuk menerimanya (artis sedemikian),” katanya.

Nasrudin bagaimanapun enggan menamakan artis dan kumpulan seniman yang dimaksudkannya.

Konsert penyanyi muda kelahiran Kanada itu yang dijadualkan diadakan Jumaat ini tidak sesuai diadakan dengan alasan ia tidak menghormati kedatangan Ramadhan yang akan bermula awal bulan depan.

Beliau juga menjelaskan, konsert itu juga diadakan dengan tarikh sambutan kemerdekaan Malaysia.

“Lazimnya, sambutan kemerdekaan disambut dengan bacaan tahlil atau forum-forum motivasi untuk meniupkan semangat patriotik, tetapi program (konsert) ini mengganggu dan bertentangan dengan budaya dan adat orang timur terutama orang Islam,” kata Nasrudin.

Pemuda PAS, tambahnya, mengecam sikap kerajaan yang sering mengagungkan muzik dan budaya Barat sehingga mempengaruhi masyarakat dan anak muda di negara ini.

Menurutnya lagi, Dewan Pemuda PAS bagaimanapun tidak akan berdemonstrasi membantah konsert itu di Stadium Merdeka.

Sebaliknya, mereka akan hadir di luar pintu masuk pada hari konsert untuk mengedarkan risalah “untuk menasihati pengunjung agar membatalkan hasrat mereka” menontonnya.

Sementara itu Gabungan Mahasiswa Islam Se-Malaysia (Gamis) akan menyerahkan memorandum bantahan jam 11 pagi esok kepada Kementerian Perpaduan, Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan berhubung penganjuran konsert Lavigne yang dibenarkan semula 23 Ogos lalu.

USA & European countries banned on OREO cookies consumptio‏n for everyone

Dear OREO Luvers,
For those who can ‘ t read Mandarin, here is the translated version of the article attached below:

OREO CONTAINING TRANS FAT BRINGS DAMAGES TO HEALTH

An attorney from California filed a lawsuit against Krafts, stating that OREO produced by the company not only causes damages in health, but also dishonestly promote their products; requesting the company to halt the sales of OREO in the market.

OREO contains hydrogenated oil or Trans fats, to prolong the storage of the biscuit, but at the mean time increase the consumption of BAD CHOLESTEROL, increasing the possibility of diabetes and heart disease.

INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION OF CHOLESTEROL

Although the research on Trans Fats affecting health has not been concluded, the national institute of science research states that any amount of Trans Fats consumed is not safe.
