Difference b/w India & US
Posted in child, dad, differences, George Bush, India, leadership, manmohan singh, MOM, prime minister, son, united states, US
While visiting India , George Bush was invited to tea with Abdul Kalam.
He asks Kalam what his leadership philosophy is. He says
that, it is to surround himself with intelligent people.
Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent.
"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Kalam.
"Allow me to demonstrate. "
Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
Manmohan immediately responds, "It's me, Sir !"
"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says Kalam. He hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"
Bush nods: "Yes Mr.President. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Bush, upon returning to Washington , decides he'd better put the Condoleeza Rice to the test. Bush summons her to the White House and says, "Condoleeza, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"
Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Rice was puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves. Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem. "Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course."
Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's our Colin Powell!"
And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, it's Manmohan Singh!"

- I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.
- I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.
- I can buy you beautiful clothes,but I cannot make you beautiful inside.
- I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
- I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.
- I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.
- I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.
- I can tell you about alcohol & drugs,but I cannot say "no" for you.
- I can tell you about lofty goals, but I cannot achieve them for you.
- I can teach you about kindness, but I cannot force you to be gracious.
- I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God.
- I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.
- I can love you with unconditional love all of my life.... and I will.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
"Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then."
Camille, age 10
"No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married."
Freddie, age 6WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
"Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough."
Lynnette, age 8
"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date."
Martin, age 10HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
"There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?"
Kelvin, age 8HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
"You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids."
Derrick, age 8
A Nun asked her class to write notes to God.
Here are some they handed in:
**********
Dear God :
I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool.
**********
Dear God:
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You keep the ones You already have?
**********
Dear God:
Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and my brother.
**********
Dear God:
If You watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.
**********
Dear God :
I bet it is very hard to love everyone in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I'm having a hard time loving all of them.
**********
Dear God:
In school they told us what You do. Who does it when You are on vacation?
**********
Dear God :
Are You really invisible or is it just a trick?
**********
Dear God:
Is it true my father won't get into heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?
**********
Dear God:
Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
**********
Dear God:
Who draws the lines around the countries?
**********
Dear God :
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church. Is that OK?
**********
Dear God:
Did You really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"? Because if You did, then I'm going to get my brother good.
**********
Dear God:
Thank You for the baby brother, but I think you got confused because what I prayed for was a puppy.
**********
Dear God:
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.
**********
Dear God:
I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over.
**********
Dear God:
You don't have to worry about me; I always look both ways.
**********
Dear God :
I think about You sometimes, even when I'm not praying.
**********
Dear God:
Of all the people who worked for You, I like Noah and David the best.
**********
Dear God :
My brother told me about being born but it doesn't sound right. They're just kidding, aren't they?
**********
Dear God:
I would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible.
**********
Dear God :
We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said You did it. So, I bet he stole Your idea.
My name is sarah
I am but three
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see
I must be stupid
I must be bad
What else could have made
My daddy so mad….
I wish I were better
I wish I weren’t ugly
Then may be my mommy
Would still want to hug me
I can’t speak at all
I can’t do a wrong
Or else I am locked up
All the day long
When I am awake I am all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren’t home
When my mommy does come
I’ll try and be nice
So may be I’ll get just….
One wipping tonight
Don’t make a sound
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From the Charlie’s bar
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the walls
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I am so afraid now
I am starting to cry.
He finds me weeping
Sees me creeping
He shouts ugly words
He says its my fault
The he suffers at work
He slaps me & hits me
And yells at me more
I finally get free
And I run for the door
He’s already locked it..!!
And I start to bawl
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard walls
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken
And my daddy continues
With more bad word spoken
“I am sorry” I scream
But it’s now too much late
His face has twisted
Into unimaginable hate
The hurt and the pain
Again & Again
Oh please God ! Have mercy !
Oh please let it end !
And finally he stops
And heads for the door
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor
My name is Sarah
And I am but three
Tonight my daddy murdered me
There are thousands of Sarah’s out there
Just like me and
YOU can help……..!!!!
