They tell the story of a mountain climber who, desperate to conquer the Aconcagua, initiated his climb after years of preparation. But he wanted the glory to himself, therefore, he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later, and later. He did not prepare for camping, but decided to keep on going. Soon it got dark. Night fell with heaviness at a very high altitude. Visibility was zero. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the top, he slipped and fell. Falling rapidly he could only see blotches of darkness that passed. He felt a terrible sensation of being sucked in by gravity. He kept falling… and in those anguishing moments good and bad memories passed through his mind. He thought certainly he would die. But then he felt a jolt that almost tore him in half. Yes! Like any good mountain climber he had staked himself with a long rope tied to his waist. In those moments of stillness, suspended in the air he had no other choice but to shout: “HELP ME GOD. HELP ME!” All of a sudden he heard a deep voice from heaven… “What do you want me to do?” “SAVE ME.” “Do you REALLY think that I can save you?” “OF COURSE, MY GOD.” “Then cut the rope that is holding you up.” There was another moment of silence and stillness. The man just held tighter to the rope. The rescue team says that the next day they found a frozen mountain climber hanging strongly to a rope… TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND. ———— How about you? How trusting are you in that rope? Would you have listened to the voice of God by cutting the rope off your waist without even knowing that you were only two feet off the ground?This is truly a test of faith and I doubt if a handful of people would have let go of the rope. |

This is a very sad thread... |
Don’t be in a hurry to answer the question you about to read. Think through the issue first before your answer. First, here is the story. On Sunday, I heard a story that left me scratching my head in search of what I would have done if I had found myself on a similar turf. A man narrated a story of how his resolve was tested a day to his wedding. He had been pursuing a particular contract some months before his wedding date. After several attempts at securing the contract yielded no results, he gave up. He said he wanted the contract so desperately because the contract looked like the financial breakthrough he had been praying for all his life. Early Friday morning on that fateful, he got a call requesting him to come down to Abuja the following day to put pen to paper. To put pen to paper on his wedding day? He had been selected to execute the contract, the caller informed him. The deadline to sign the contract was the following day, his wedding day. In a twinkling of an eye, the joy that the initial news that he had been selected to execute the contract disappeared. A sense of despair set in. The caller did not want to hear excuses. He didn’t want to know whether it was a burial or a wedding. “Tomorrow or never,” he insisted. “Come down to our office tomorrow to sign the contract or we will look for another contractor without excuses to handle it for us,” the man insisted. Oh boy, see confusion! He called the lady he was supposed to get married to the following day to seek her opinion. The lady told him to forget about the contract initially but when he mentioned the anticipated profit from the contract, the lady became speechless. He quickly called a a couple of friends to explain his ordeal. His story was greeted with some mixed feelings. Some friends advised him to shift the wedding to a future date while some were opposed to the idea. They encouraged him to forget about the contract that many more would come in the future. Luckily for him, the man later called back to say he could come on Monday morning to sign the contract. So the question is, if the man didn’t call back, what would you have done if you were in the groom’s shoes? I heard something very similar to this as a joke, however, it dawned on me that it could truly happen to anybody after I heard the man’s story Ladies what would you advice your man to do, move the wedding to another date or what? Guys would forfeit 20 million worth of contract because of your wedding? Culled from lagosconvo.com |

What do people mean when they say "should in case"? Some even say "in case of incasity". CAUTION: Both are blunders. The first is an error of tautology,. e.g. INCORRECT: Take this money for your upkeep should in case I arrive late. CORRECT: Take this money for your upkeep should I arrive late; or say "...in case I arrive late" (not both, please). The second is a pure case of error in meaning and sense. NB: Please, never again be caught being a victim of these blunders. Culled from language clinic by ayo Alonge |

The following is what a women posted on a dating forum seeking a rich husband: " I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $ 1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough. I’m here humbly to ask a few questions: 1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym) 2) Which age group should I target? 3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who don’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys. 4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married) Ms. Pretty A philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan below: Dear Ms. Pretty, I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money” : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool. Hope this reply helps. signed, J.P. Morgan CEO |
you be world best
