i appreciate having my former cadets as textmates and friends. i had a great time with them, despite the battle against the draining sum beam and bone-breaking exercises. here's a message i got from one of my company elements, who was also one of my closest friends during the ROTC days. i know it's just forwarded, but i loved the thought:
a philo prof. gave one question for the final exam.
the class was seated when the prof. touched his chair and asked, "use everything we've learned this sem. prove that this chair does NOT EXIST."
the whole class answered for an hour, but the laziest student finished the test in less than a minute.
one week later, the grades were posted in the class, and the lazy student got the highest score.
his answer consisted of just two words:
"what chair?"
i opt not to include the concluding sentence, for it will extinguish the beauty of the message.
and here's another one from another one. (got it? well, get it!)
if wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the street;
but only poor kids do that...
if power ensures peace of mind, then officials should walk unguarded;
but those who live simply, sleep soundly...
if beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages;
but those who trust God completely have the most fulfilling relationships...
i'm really not into religious quotes, but then again, i love the thought, and the irony of life.
so there!
