The answer to any problem is love love and more love....

A Lesson

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.
Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much." were most of the comments

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

Several years later, one of the students was killed in Viet Nam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.
The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.
As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot." After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."
Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.
"Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it ."

All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."
Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."
"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary."
Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group "I carry this with me at all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists."

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.
The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.
And One Way To Accomplish This Is: Send this message on. If you do not send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity to do something nice and beautiful.

If you've received this, it is because someone cares for you and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care.
If you're " too busy" to take those few minutes right now to forward this message on, would this be the VERY first time you didn't do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships?

The more people that you send this to, the better you'll be at reaching out to those you care about.
Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

May Your Day Be As Blessed As
You Are Special

Good question feby
first of all I am not enrolled in any Palestinian movement, bou I think we must talk about hamas espicially in this time.
Hamas not only a radical movement but is a part of palestinian people because it contains palestinian people who voted to it in 2006, and the reason is israel.
Israel makes Palestinian people hate so Hamas Benefitedfrom this situation and crowed palestinian people.
If israel support peoples here in palestine i am sure then no one will vote to Hamas.
So i wish from you to start supporting peace from here, we must understand that we must start from Hamas and knowing them the meaning of peace.
Peace not just a word but it is a gaol, it is not contain from letters, it contains love,respect and dialoge
it means life for every one in this planet
believe me peace in palestine not impossible if change our minds about others , then we can start to build it here
your friend Mohammed

Jaclin O,

there is only one truth, and that is that our Arab neighbors living on the territory of Judea and Samaria in the State of Israel. The Jews want them to live in peace, but not that the peace conditioned terror.


Shalom!
And peace to all!

Desde que tengo uso de la razón he leido y visto por televisión, el conflicto entre dos pueblos que comparten la misma tierra,aire,agua, me uno para que algún dia se acabe tanta violencia y llegen a un acuerdo, se reconozcan como vecinos,superen su diferencia religiosa e ideológica .

Thank you feby but i want to say to you that the palestinian have rights in thier lands wich israel occupied in 1948.
In 1948 The Zionist gangs ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people and the expulsion from their country and committing massacres against them.
Now they are a refugee in need of assistance
So, we have to restore our legitimate rights provided by United Nations resolutions and international legitimacy
thanks alot feby and i wish that we still good friends
I read your comment, I live In Gaza Strip
thanx alot
