"I'm 76 and Tired" Worth reading.....(NOW 83)

This should be required reading for every man, woman and child in Jamaica,

the UK , United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and

to all the world...

"I'm 76 and I'm Tired"

I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's

when I was doing my National Service,

I've worked hard since I was 17.

Except for some some serious health challenges,

I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years.

I made a reasonable salary,

but I didn't inherit my job or my income,

and I worked to get where I am.

Given the economy,

it looks as though retirement was a bad idea,

and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth"

to people who don't have my work ethic.

I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned,

by force if necessary,

and give it to people too lazy to earn it.     

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace,"

when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters,

wives and daughters for their family "honor";

of Muslims rioting over some slight offense;

of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews

because they aren't "believers";

of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning

teenage rape victims to death for "adultery";

of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls;

all in the name of Allah,

because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. 

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let

Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques

and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand,

UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to

fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other

Arab country to teach love and tolerance..  

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard

to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease,

and I must help support and treat them,

and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ

rush out of a dark alley, grab them,

and stuff white powder up their noses

or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes,

entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes,

stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes,

when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught.

I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. 

I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives

and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government,

or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens

and early 20's be-deck them selves in tattoos and face studs,

thereby making themselves un-employable

and claiming money from the Government.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 76..

Because, mostly,

I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making.

I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and her children. 

Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.

There is no way this will be widely publicized,

unless each of ussends it on!

This is your chance to make a difference.

人生必讀 2 0 課 題 ~ 選擇比努力重要

01、人生最重要的不是努力，不是奮鬥，而是抉擇。

02、老闆只能給一個位置，不能給一個未來，舞臺再大，人走茶涼。

03、意外和明天不知道哪個先來。

沒有危機是最大的危機，滿足現狀是最大的陷阱。

04、所見所聞改變一生，不知不覺斷送一生。

05、生意，可以掌控努力與投資，卻無法掌控結果，

人生得意時找出路，失意時才有退路，寶馬都有備胎，您的人生呢？

06、世界上有多少有才華的失敗者，

世界上有很多高學歷的無業遊民—是因為選擇錯誤。

07、下對注，贏一次；跟對人，贏一世。

08、學識不如知識，知識不如做事，做事不如做人。

09、不識貨，半世苦；不識人，一世苦。

10、生命不在於活得長與短，而在於頓悟的早與晚。 

11、做人處事，待人接物：重師者王，重友者霸，重己者亡。

12、沒有目標的人永遠為有目標的人去效力。

13、人生三階段：比才華；比財力；比境界。

14、人若把自己框在一定的範圍內，就容易限制了自己的思維和格局。

15、今天的優勢會被明天的趨勢代替，把握趨勢，把握未來。 

16、讀萬卷書不如行千里路，行千里路不如閱人無數，

閱人無數不如名師指路。經師易得，人師難求。

17、學歷代表過去，財力代表現在，學習力代表將來。 

18、人生能走多遠，看與誰同行；有多大成就，看有誰指點。 

19、聰明的人看得懂，精明的人看得準，高明的人看得遠。 

20、做人不成功，成功是暫時的；做人成功，不成功也是暫時的！
