Not a joke but yet so good and true!!

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
SUCCESS:
At age 4 success is . . . not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . having friends.
At age 17 success is . . having a drivers licence.
At age 35 success is . . having money.
At age 50 success is . . . having money.
At age 70 success is . .. . having a drivers licence.
At age 75 success is . . . having friends.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge..mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone

And here's something very interesting about everyday life (in Spanish).

Vivir en el 2007 implica que ....

1. Accidentalmente tecle�s tu password en el microondas.

2. No has jugado solitario con cartas verdaderas en a�os.

3. Ten�s una lista de 15 n�meros telef�nicos para ubicar a tu familia de s�lo 3 miembros

4. Le envi�s un email a la persona que se sienta junto a vos.

5. La raz�n que ten�s para no estar en contacto con tu familia es que ellos no tienen correo electr�nico.

6. Te vas a casa despu�s de un largo d�a de trabajo y cuando suena el tel�fono contest�s con el nombre de tu empresa.

7. Cuando hac�s llamadas telef�nicas de tu casa marc�s el "10" o el "9" para que te d� l�nea.

8. Cada comercial de la televisi�n tiene su p�gina de Internet en la parte de abajo.

10. Salir de tu casa sin celular, el cual no has tenido los primeros 20, 30 o hasta 60 a�os de tu vida, te hace entrar en p�nico y regres�s por �l.

11. Te levant�s en la ma�ana y te conect�s antes de tomar tu caf�.

12. Est�s mirando alrededor para que nadie te vea que est�s sonriendo enfrente de tu PC.

13. Est�s leyendo esto y te estas riendo.

14. Peor que eso, ya sab�s perfectamente a qui�n le vas a enviar esto por correo.

15. Est�s tan concentrado leyendo que no te fijaste que falt� el n�mero 9 en esta lista.

16. Y ahora regresaste para ver efectivamente que no est� el n�mero 9.

17. Y ahora te est�s riendo de vos mismo.

>>>Tom�te un minuto y replante� tu vida
