DON'T BE FOOLED BY YOUR HONEY!

Once a man saw in his dream that a lion was chasing him. The man climbed up a tree and sat on a branch. He looked down and saw that the lion was still there waiting for him. The man then looked to his side and saw that two woodpeckers were pecking the branch upon which he was sitting. One woodpecker was black and the other one was white. The man realized that the branch would very soon break and fall on the ground.

The man then looked below and discovered that a big black python had come and settled directly under him. The python opened its mouth right under the man so that he will fall into it. Can you imagine how scared this man was? There seemed no escape for him. The man then looked up to see if there was anything that he could hold on to when the branch broke. He saw another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of honey were falling from it.
The man wanted to taste one of the drops. He put his tongue out and tasted one of the falling drops of honey. The honey was delicious. He wanted to taste another drop and another and eventually he got lost in
the sweetness of the honey.

Meanwhile, he forgot about the two woodpeckers eating his branch away, the lion on the ground and the python that was sitting right under him. After a while, he woke up from his sleep.

To get the meaning behind this dream, the man went to a pious scholar. The scholar interpreted his dream. He said the lion you saw is your death. It always chases you and goes wherever you go. The two woodpeckers, one black and one white, are the night and the day. They eat your time as they take you closer to death. The big black python with the open mouth is your grave. It's there, just waiting to receive you. The honeycomb is this world and the sweet honey is the luxuries of this world.

We like to taste a drop of the luxuries of this world. Then we taste another drop and yet another. Meanwhile, we get lost in the luxuries of this world and we forget about our time, we forget about our death and we forget about our graves.

This life is very short and full of material things that can get in the way of our submission to the Almighty. It's not wrong to have these material possessions as long as we remember our obligations to the Almighty and thank Him for his favours. We shouldn't get so preoccupied with this temporary worldly abode and forget the Hereafter which is eternal and everlasting.

The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said: "The wisest man is he who remembers death the most."

DONT GET CAUGHT

It all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from my mobile service provider and he asked me to shutdown my phone for 2 hours for 3G update to take place. As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question and shutdown my cell phone. After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly turned on my cell phone and I received several calls from my family members and the others were from the number that had called me earlier - 0773954380.

I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they had received a call from someone claiming that they had me with them and asking for money to let me free. The call was so real and my parents even heard 'my voice' crying out loud asking for help. My parents was at the bank waiting for the next call to proceed with the money transfer.

I told my parents that I am safe and asked them to lodge a police report. Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to shutdown my cell phone for another 1 hour which I refused to do and hung up. They keep calling my cell phone until the battery had run down. I myself lodged a police report and I was informed by the officer that there were many such scams reported.

MOST of the cases reported that the victim had already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get back the money. Be careful as this kind of scam might happened to any of us!!! Those guys are so professional and very convincing during calls. If you are asked to shut down your cell phone for updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND! Your family or friends might receive the same call. Be Safe and Stay Alert! Please pass around to your family and friends!

* Beautiful quote on anger: "If you are right then there is no need to get angry" and "If you are wrong then u don't have any right to be angry."

* A stronger and positive attitude creates more miracles than any other thing. Because life is 10 % how you make it...and 90 % How you take it...!

BOB & THE LADY

Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a coffee shop around 9:58 pm. He sat
down next to a lady at the front table and the radio caught his attention. The 10 pm news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story of a
man on the ledge of a large building preparing to jump.The lady looked at Bob and said, "Do you think he'll jump?" Bob said, "You know, I bet he'll jump."

The lady replied, "Well, I bet he won't." Bob placed a $20 bill on the table and said, "You're on!" Just as the lady placed her money on the table, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death. The lady was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Bob, saying, "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

Bob replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 pm news, and so I knew he would jump." The lady replied, "I did too, but didn't think he'd do it again." Bob took the money.
