“Singapore GP 2010”

Well well well … moving into the finals today, Fernando Alonso has nudged the prancing horse for a pole start. It would be one of the many highlights for this season in a while; a night race, a tight track, a close fight amongst the top contenders, just to name a few. Alonso’s time of 1:45.390 is very respectable and was enough to put him in front of favorites Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull’) and Lewis Hamilton (McLaren). While Jenson Button (McLaren) starts at fourth and Mark Webber (Red Bull), the current point leader is in fifth. Tonight is going to be an interesting race … very interesting.

I had always been intrigued by the story of how the Tibetan Lamas locate and finally pick the children whom they would nurture and eventually install as their Leader; if I may recall correctly, a simple ceremony where the young children were shown a number of objects, some of these were the former Leader’s personal objects (e.g. a robe or a bowl). The children who could pick out the objects correctly then forms the shortlist.

I’ve always found this story rather unbelievable, however after what little that I have read, I realize that they were exploiting the existence of the seeds in the child’s mind. If the child had never seen or use the object in their previous life (a Buddist belief), then there would be no seed in the child’s mind to recognize the object. It is like we can recognize a pen, but a dog does not have a seed in his mind for a pen, so even though we show and tell the dog that it is a pen, the dog will never be able to recognize it, therefore, in the dog’s mind, it could never accept the object as a pen – which is usually the case and thereby it would treat the pen as a chew toy for which a dog has such a seed in its mind.

“The ‘L I T T L E’ Things . . . ”

As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was His turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her Alarm clock didn’t go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike Because of an auto accident.

One of them Missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take Time to change.

One’s Car wouldn’t start.

One went back to Answer the telephone.

One had a Child that dawdled And didn’t get ready as soon as he should have. 

One couldn’t Get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning.  Took the various means to get to work But before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot.   He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.  That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am Stuck in traffic, Miss an elevator,  Turn back to answer a ringing telephone… All the little things that annoy me.  I think to myself, This is exactly where my guardian angel wants me to be At this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be Going wrong,  The children are slow getting dressed, You can’t seem to find the car keys, You hit every traffic light, Don’t get mad or frustrated; It May be just that Someone is watching over you.

May Love continue to find you With all those annoying little things And may you remember their possible purpose.

Pass this on to someone else, if you’d like.  There is NO LUCK attached.  If you didn’t, it’s okay:  Friendship Is Not Dependent On E-Mail !! (that’s the cool part)
