A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds,
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
* "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8
* When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4
* "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age
* "Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6
* "Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4
* Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7
* "Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. But they look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
* "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen," Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
* "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate." Nikka - age 6 "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7
* "Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6
* "During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore" Cindy - age 8
* "My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6
* "Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5
* "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7
* "Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4
* "I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4
* "When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7
* "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6
* "You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8
* And the final one-Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four-year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

Time Never Goes Back
I got this story which I think its pretty interesting... After reading, I could relate my life with the story... Then, do self reflection after having completed reading this article!
Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student lying down under a big tree near a big grass area. Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher:
Student : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Can you please help me?
Teacher : (Silent for few second, than he answer) Well, it's a pretty hard and easy question.
Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???
Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.
Student : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked straight ahead to the grass field).
A few minutes later...
Student : I'm back.
Teacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand.
Student : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any. Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.
Teacher : That's what happened in real life.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
What is the message of this story?
* Grass - is people around you
* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you
* Grass Field - is time
* In looking for your soulmate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember "Time Never Goes Back".
It applies the same in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business. Therefore the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!

Men Are Creature You Can't Live With
Men are like ...Laxatives.
They irritate the sh*t out of you.
Men are like ... Bananas.
The older they get, the less firm they are.
Men are like ... Bank Machines.
Once they withdraw, they lose interest.
Men are like ... Weather.
Nothing can be done to change them.
Men are like ... Blenders.
You need one, but you're not quite sure why.
Men are like ... Chocolate Bars.
Sweet, smooth and they usually head right for your hips.
Men are like ... Coffee.
The best ones are rich, warm and can keep you awake all night.
Men are like ... Commercials.
You can't believe a word they say.
Men are like ... Department Stores.
Their clothes are always half off.
Men are like ... Government Bonds.
They take so long to mature.
Men are like ... Horoscopes.
They always tell you what to do and are usually wrong.
Men are like ... Mascara.
They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
Men are like ... Popcorn.
They satisfy you, but only for a little while.
Men are like ... Lava Lamps.
Fun to look at, but not very bright.
Men are like ... Parking Spots.
All the good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped
