<h2 style="text-align: center;">&#8216;To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.&#8217; When God takes something from your grasp, He&#8217;s not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Concentrate on this sentence&#8230;</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">&#8216;The will of  God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.&#8217;<br />
Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear.</h2>

<p>I was gonna try and explain it better than someone already did and decided fuck no he already did a good enuff job his name is Carl Sagan and this is what he said first of all look at this pic <a href="http://screencast.com/t/05ZYiWabM">http://screencast.com/t/05ZYiWabM</a> and read this wiki entry <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot</a> then grasp and comprehend the deepness of this if you have any intelligence whatsoever you will get it, just a  lil bit like i did and it will change ur life heres what he said &#8220; From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it&#8217;s different. Look again at that dot. That&#8217;s here, that&#8217;s home, that&#8217;s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every &#8220;superstar,&#8221; every &#8220;supreme leader,&#8221; every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.</p>
<p>The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.</p>
<p>Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.</p>
<p>The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.</p>
<p>It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we&#8217;ve ever known. &#8221; and heres the pic link again <a href="http://screencast.com/t/05ZYiWabM">http://screencast.com/t/05ZYiWabM</a> do u get it??</p>

<p>FOR EXAMPLE THE &#8220;OUR FAMILY&#8221; BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN FROM CHINA. SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CAL. ALSO WATCH FOR PICKLES. A LOT OF THE NO-NAME PICKLES COME FROM INDIA. BICK&#8217;S ARE FROM CANADA. WORTH THE SMALL DIFFERENCE IN PRICE.</p>
<p>Another example was in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia. Next to them were President Choice brand. Produce of Canada!! The P. C. went into my grocery bag.</p>
<p>TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !</p>
<p>Are we Americans and Canadians as dumb as we appear &#8212; or &#8212; is it that we just do not think?</p>
<p>While the Chinese, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Obama Administration (and the Harper Government!) for perceived errors.</p>
<p>Yet 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.</p>
<p>Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?</p>
<p>SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA/CANADA !!</p>
<p>Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says &#8216;Made in China&#8217; or &#8216;PRC&#8217; (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all.<br />
You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without. </p>
<p>Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some North American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own. </p>
<p>THINK ABOUT THIS, If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that&#8217;s a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor&#8230;fast!!</p>
<p>The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.</p>
<p>The solution?  Let&#8217;s give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4.  That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.</p>
<p>EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW !</p>
<p>Send this to everybody you know. Let&#8217;s show them that we are intelligent Americans and Canadians, and NOBODY can take us for granted.</p>
<p> If we can&#8217;t live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!</p>

<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Some days are diamonds &#8230; some need a little shining.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">John is the kind of guy you love to hate.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, &#8216;If I were any better, I would be twins!&#8217;</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">He was a natural motivator.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, &#8216;I don&#8217;t get it!&#8217;</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">&#8216;You can&#8217;t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?&#8217;</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">He replied, &#8216;Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or&#8230;you can choose to be in a bad mood</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">I choose to be in a good mood.&#8217; Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">victim or&#8230;I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. </span></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or&#8230;I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. &#8216;Yeah, right, it&#8217;s not that easy,&#8217; I protested.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">&#8216;Yes, it is,&#8217; he said. &#8216;Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It&#8217;s your choice how you live your life.&#8217;</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">I saw him about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, &#8216;If I were any better, I&#8217;d be twins&#8230;Wanna see my scars?&#8217;</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">&#8216;The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,&#8217; he replied. &#8216;Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or&#8230;I could choose to die. I chose to live.&#8217; &#8216;Weren&#8217;t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?&#8217; I asked.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">He continued, &#8216;&#8230;the paramedics were great.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read &#8216;he&#8217;s a dead man&#8217;. I knew I needed to take action.&#8217;</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">What did you do?&#8217; I asked. &#8216;Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,&#8217; said John. &#8216;She asked if I was allergic to anything &#8216;Yes, I replied.&#8217; The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, &#8216;Gravity&#8221; Over their laughter, I told them, &#8216;I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.&#8217;</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude&#8230;.I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Attitude, after all, is everything.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.&#8217; Matthew 6:34.</p>
<p style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial;">After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.</p>
