RICH MAN ON DEATH BED !!

Billionaire’s last words on his deathbed at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer.

"I have reached the pinnacle of success in business. In the eyes of others, my life is the epitome of success. However, apart from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is just a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on my sick bed and looking back on my entire life, I realize that all the praise and riches I was so proud of have faded and become insignificant in the face of impending death.

You can hire someone to drive the car for you, make money for you, but you can't have someone carry the disease for you.

Lost material things can be found. But there is one thing you can never find when you lose "Life".

Whatever stage of life we are in at the moment, we will eventually face the day when the curtain falls.

Affection, Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends, and love for yourself. Appreciate others.

As we grow older and therefore wiser, we gradually realize that wearing a $300 watch or a $30 watch both tell the same time.

Whether we carry a $300 wallet or a $30 wallet, the amount of money inside is the same;

Whether you drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and distance are the same and you arrive at the same destination.

Whether you drink a $300 bottle of wine or a $10 bottle, the hangover is the same;

whether the house we live in is 300 square meters or 3000 square meters, the loneliness is the same.

You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.

Whether you fly first class or economy, if the plane goes down, life goes down with it…

So… I hope you realize, when you have companions, friends, brothers and sisters, with whom you chat, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north-south-east-west or about heaven and earth.

Enjoy life and don't obsess over material things. 

CHARITY WITH DIGNITY.

A woman asked an old man: "How much do you sell these eggs for?" 

The old seller replied: “ 5 rupees per egg, lady.

The woman told him:

“I'll get 6 eggs for 25 or I'll not buy anything.

The old salesman replied:

“You can buy them at whatever price you want. I haven't sold a single egg today and I have to sell everything to feed my family.

She bought the eggs at the price she wanted and left feeling like she had won.

She got into her nice car and went to a fancy restaurant with her boyfriend.

She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate little and left most of what they ordered.

She was given a bill for Rs. 1000. The woman left a whopping 1100 and told the owner that the rest was a tip.

This story might seem normal enough for a luxury restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller.

Why do we always have to demonstrate power over a poor salesman when we buy what he has to offer from him?

And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?

We must buy goods from the poor at his prices without bargaining. That is charity wrapped in dignity.

பிரச்சனை என்ன?

1. பிரச்னையை பிரச்னைன்னு பார்த்தா பிரச்னைதான்; ப்ரச்னையை ப்ரச்னைன்னு பாக்கலேன்னா ப்ரச்னை இல்லை.

2. ப்ரச்னை இல்லாத விஷயத்தை ப்ரச்னைன்னு பார்த்துட்டு ப்ரச்னை பண்ணினால் ப்ரச்னையே பண்ணாதவன் கூட ப்ரச்னை பண்ணனும்னு ப்ரச்னை ப்ரச்னையா கொண்டு வருவான்.

3. அதே ப்ரச்னையான ஒரு விஷயத்தை ப்ரச்னையே இல்லைன்னு நாம விட்டுட்டா, ப்ரச்னையைப் பண்ணவன் கூட ப்ரச்னை பண்ணாம, ப்ரச்னையை வேற எங்காவது ப்ரச்னை பண்ணப் போயிடுவான்.

4. இனிமேலாவது ப்ரச்னையை ப்ரச்னையாப் பார்க்காம 'ப்ரச்னையே, அப்பிடின்னா என்ன'ன்னு பார்க்கத் தெரிஞ்சுண்டுட்டா யாருக்கும் ஒரு ப்ரச்னையும் இல்லை.

5. இப்படியெல்லாம் நான் சொல்றதாலே 'எனக்கு என்ன ப்ரச்னை இப்போ'ன்னு யோசிக்கிறே பாரு, அதுதான் இப்போ பெரிய ப்ரச்னை!!

WINE BOTTLES.

DO YOU KNOW WHY WINE BOTTLES ARE 750 ml...?

Wine bottles are generally 750 ml and not one litre (1,000 ml). Where does this specification come from?

The capacity of a wine bottle was standardized in the 19th century.

The English unit of volume was the "imperial gallon" which was equivalent to 4.54609 liters.

To simplify the conversion calculations, they transported Bordeaux wine in 225-litre barrels, i.e. exactly 50 gallons, corresponding to 300 bottles of 750 ml. 

Since the calculation was easier, they adopted the idea that a barrel = 50 gallons = 300 bottles. In this way, a gallon corresponded to 6 bottles. That is why even today, wine boxes usually contain 6 or 12 bottles.

ALLERGIES.

Preservatives are added to the food items to prolong its shelf life. Otherwise, it will get contaminated. Beware, they may be allergens to your body.

An allergen is a usually harmless substance capable of triggering a response that starts in the immune system and results in an allergic reaction. 

The immune system responds by releasing chemicals that typically cause symptoms in the nose, throat, eyes, ears, skin or roof of the mouth.

If you have an allergy to a substance, your immune system identifies the substance as an invader or allergen and tries to eliminate it.

In addition to pollen, other common allergens include dust mites, animal dander, mold, medications, insect venoms, and various foods.

TAKE CARE.

SENIOR CITIZEN’S AWARENESS

A Senior Citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. 

He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells Senior Citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:

One is to Prevent Falling, 

And the other is to Prevent Choking.

After 60 and beyond, one has to begin to train themselves :

When drinking water -

Stop everything and concentrate on drinking water carefully and slowly. The elderly are prone to choking because the throat and swallowing muscles have degenerated and lack muscle strength.

The following information is passed on by a doctor who is still active in the medical field. It is worth referencing, especially if you or your relatives or friends have become elderly.

Pneumonia caused by choking on drinking water, milk, soup, etc., which is a common problem among the elderly.

If there are elderly people at home :

Please Note:

1.Use a straw, if possible, while drinking water and keep your head down when swallowing.

2.Please drink thick soup instead of clear soup. Clear soup flows quickly and it is easy to choke when breathing is not smooth.

3.Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth, or while chewing. If the water stays in the mouth for too long, it will flow into the trachea and cause choking if you are not careful..

4.Do not speak or turn your head when there is food or water in your mouth.

5.Old people do not have the same physical strength and endurance as young people.

If liquid or food enters the trachea and is coughed out, the face will turn red and the blood pressure will soar. Sometimes choking can be fatal.

As we get older, we must drink water slowly, attentively and cautiously. Take  care.
