Where to tap

<< Interesting Reads >>

I receive sooooooo overwhelming email forwards each day, my patience runs out scanning through them. When will people understand Bill Gates is not giving a $100,000,000 f0r f0rwarding mail, there is no little girl waiting for heart transplant and you will not get lucky forwarding an email that says so. Grow up Guys !

But now and then, some interesting stuff comes through and makes an interesting read. This is one of them. Learn from it and you will grow leaps and bounds in life.

Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer ........................ $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap ......................... $ 9998.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.

Well said dude !

Omnipotence Paradox

This paradox really interests me because it tries to apply logic to the notion of an omnipotent being..colloquially called God in religion.

Can/Does such a being really exist. Lets see what logic says.

The paradox is based around the question of whether or not an omnipotent being is able to perform actions that would limit its own omnipotence, thus becoming non-omnipotent. The question is often framed as follows:

"Could an omnipotent being create a rock so heavy that even that being could not lift it?"

It is possible to analyze this question in the following manner:

The being can either create a stone which it cannot lift, or it cannot create a stone which it cannot lift.
1. If the being can create a stone which it cannot lift, then it is not omnipotent.
2. If the being cannot create a stone which it cannot lift, then it is not omnipotent.

Either of the scenario seems to prove the impossibility of the existence of such an entity.

But who said everything follows logic !

"Dead," was all he answered.

Last line of 'The Death of the Hired Man' from 'North Of Boston' (1914) by Robert Frost.

The thing I like about this poem is the definition of 'Home' that the author offers.

“Home is the place where, when you have to go there,They have to take you in.”

It all depends on what you mean by home.

Though kinship generally determines your home, it is not always where you seek emotional support.

Home, for me is where my heart lies, where I attain emotional fulfillment, where I always yearn to go

...and fortunately for me and many others, its their own beloved family.

Silas in the poem feels more at home on the farm and returns there to die. His self-respect prevents him from seeking shelter and offers to work again.

I especially love it towards the end

. . . I'll sit and see if that small sailing cloud.
Will hit or miss the moon.
It hit the moon.
Then there were three there, making a dim row, The moon, the little silver cloud, and she.
Warren returned--too soon, it seemed to her,
Slipped to her side, caught up her hand and waited.
"Warren," she questioned.
"Dead," was all he answered.

Home.. my little piece of this world.
