Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50???
Hard workers...Don't miss this...Read It Completely.....An unwise investment!!!.............
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.Looking up, he said,"Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, Then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started
To think:Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked."No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,"said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for.
"The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

Lesson to learn from Heart Touching Story:
But even better, share Rs.100 worth of time with someone you love. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

4. Fairly large amounts of potassium, which is an essential nutrient for the body, can be found in orange juice.
5. Studies have shown that orange juice can help reduce the risk of heart disease, which is because it can help improve circulation.
6. Orange juice contains Folate, which plays a major role in the reproduction of new cells and can help with the healing process.
7. Research has shown that orange juice has anti-inflammatory properties. If you experience a lot of arthritis-related pain, orange juice may really help relieve it.
8. Due to the antioxidants found in orange juice, many people believe that drinking it on a regular basis may help aid in weight loss. Of course, with all of the other health benefits that orange juice has to offer, it is probably a good note to not drink the juice simply due to weight loss reasons, as it may or may not be effective. Drink Orange Juice in Moderation
Always remember that you do not need to drink a whole lot of orange juice in order to get these healthy benefits. In fact, since orange juice is fairly high in calories, avoid drinking too much of the stuff. Be sure to check the sugar content on the label when choosing orange juice if you really want to get the highest amount of health benefits from your orange juice and, ultimately, prevent weight gain (since high sugar levels can cause it). Orange Juice With Pulp
It is often said that orange juice containing pulp tends to even healthier for the body, but it is an issue that is often debated. If you have a stomach condition, remember that orange juice is very acidic and for that reason, it may cause you to feel an upset stomach. Due to its acidity, orange juice can also cause tooth damage if you do not care for your teeth properly after drinking it.

Bawang Putih Cegah Cancer?
SEJAK lama bawang putih dipercaya bermanfaat bagi kesehatan. Termasuk melawan virus, bakteri, hingga sel kanker. Benarkah?
Bawang putih selama ini populer sebagai bumbu penyedap masakan maupun pengusir setan dalam mitologi vampir. Di luar itu, tanaman bernama latin allium sativum ini sejak zaman kuno juga diyakini memiliki faedah medis seperti melawan virus, bakteri, dan kanker, serta menurunkan kolesterol. Tak heran, bawang putih pun dianggap sebagai "obat herbal ajaib".
Namun, sebuah temuan baru menyimpulkan bahwa bukti penelitian yang mengaitkan bawang putih dengan pengurangan risiko kanker kurang mumpuni dan masih sangat minim.
"Masyarakat ingin memercayai bahwa bawang putih mungkin saja efektif mengurangi risiko kanker, akan tetapi sejauh ini bukti ilmiah masih sangat terbatas untuk menyimpulkan bahwa bawang putih bermanfaat untuk semua jenis kanker," ungkap peneliti dari Ewha Women's University di Seoul,Korea Selatan, Dr Oran Kwon. Dia juga menjabat ketua tim penulisan penelitian yang dipublikasikan dalam Jurnal Nutrisi Klinis Amerika bulan ini.
Untuk keperluan penelitian itu, Kwon bersama timnya menganalisis 19 laporan hasil penelitian yang pernah dipublikasikan dan membahas keterkaitan konsumsi bawang putih dengan pengurangan risiko kanker tertentu.
Untuk proses evaluasi, Kwon dan timnya menggunakan standar penilaian seperti yang dilakukan US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) dalam membuat klaim manfaat kesehatan dari suatu makanan.
Hasilnya, peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa tidak ada bukti mumpuni untuk menghubungkan konsumsi bawang putih dengan risiko pengurangan kanker lambung, payudara, paru, dan endometrium. Mereka hanya mendapati bukti yang sangat terbatas, tapi dapat dipercaya, yang mengaitkan konsumsi bawang putih dalam mengurangi risiko munculnya sel kanker pada usus besar, prostat, kerongkongan, pangkal tenggorokan, mulut, indung telur, dan ginjal. Untuk itulah, Kwon menyarankan perlunya penelitian lebih lanjut.
Selama ini sejumlah ilmuwan sudah telanjur berteori bahwa bawang putih mungkin bekerja dengan berbagai cara untuk mengurangi risiko kanker. Termasuk menghancurkan tekanan oksidatif yang disebabkan molekul radikal bebas yang dapat memacu risiko kanker dan gangguan kesehatan lainnya. "Akan tetapi, klaim bahwa bawang putih mencegah berbagai jenis kanker belum memiliki cukup bukti," komentar nutrisionis sekaligus aktivis dari American Cancer Society di Atlanta, Colleen Doyle. "Bukti yang ada masih lemah," imbuhnya.
Kendati demikian, dia menilai kebiasaan mengonsumsi bawang putih tidaklah buruk. Artinya, jika Anda menyukai bawang putih itu bagus. "Silakan saja mau dipanggang, ditumbuk, ditumis. Itu tidak akan membahayakan Anda," katanya. "Jika kelak ada bukti kuat bahwa bawang putih bermanfaat mencegah kanker, ya bagus," ujarnya.
Lebih lanjut, Doyle mengungkapkan, penyuka bawang putih itu sendiri sebenarnya telah melakukan upaya pengurangan risiko kanker melalui diet seimbang. "Kami telah mengetahui bahwa orang yang menerapkan pola diet kaya buah dan sayuran, atau yang berdiet dengan mengonsumsi makanan berbahan dasar tumbuhan (termasuk bawang putih), berisiko lebih rendah terkena kanker," sebutnya.
Terkait manfaat bawang putih dalam mencegah kanker, peneliti dari Universitas Boston Amerika pernah melaporkan, bawang putih dapat mengurangi risiko kanker usus besar. Kandungan bahan yang disebut diallyl disulfide disinyalir membantu memacu usus memproduksi enzim yang bermanfaat membersihkan partikel penyebab kanker.
Peneliti asal Selandia Baru tersebut mencoba memberi makan tikus-tikus dengan kadar disulfide berbeda-beda. Hasilnya, usus tikus-tikus yang diberi makan dengan kadar disulfide banyak dan sedang (berdasarkan takaran asupan harian bagi manusia) mengalami peningkatan produksi enzim antikanker hingga 60 persen.
Mereka lantas menyimpulkan, walaupun hanya sesiung bawang putih, manfaatnya bagus juga bagi manusia.
How to Identify Real Pearls & Fake Pearls
Rub the pearl against your teeth. You may be able to tell this way as real pearls are supposedly rough while fakes are smooth. This is not the most reliable method as you can find smooth real pearls and rough fakes.
Step2
Step2
Hold the pearl up to the sunlight or very bright indoor lighting. You can check for variations in the pearl's color and tone. If it's perfect in its color and tone, it's very likely fake.
Step3
Step3
Look at the pearl through the magnifying glass. You should be able to see the ridges and irregularities of a real pearl, or the grainy smoothness of a fake.
Step4
Step4
Test the warmth of the pearl. Resin and plastic pearls are often warm on first contact. Glass pearls take longer to warm in your hand than real ones.
Step6
Step6
Check the drill holes. Real pearls are drilled as small as possible to maintain their value, so fakes will often have larger holes. Also, the pearl surface, or nacre, will often flake off around the holes of fakes.
Step7
Step7
Check the pearl's shape. If it's a perfect sphere, it's likely a fake.
