A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?'
'50gms!' .... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ..the students answered.
'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor, 'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'
'Nothing' the students said.
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'
'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!' ventured another student & all the students laughed.
'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?' asked the professor.
'No'
Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?' The students were puzzled.
'Put the glass down!' said one of the students 'Exactly!' said the professor.' Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they Begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before You go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!'
Remember friend to
'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! '

Are you familiar with the Roman Numeric?
Do you know how to read them?
And I do mean read above 10?
Can you add or subtract Roman Numeric?
Are you eager to know?
Let's go…
It's that simple: Roman doesn't have numbers! They have letters and each letter stands for certain values. The values are:
I or i 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000
Interesting, huh!
But how does Roman were able to add or subtract?? Umm! Let's see:-
What happened here is that you can NOT add small value followed with a larger value
I = 1
II = I+I = 1+1 2
III = I+I+I = 1+1+1 3
IV = V-I = 5-1 4
What happened here is that you can NOT add small value followed with a larger value, you have to subtract them
V = 5
VI = V+I = 5+1 6
Larger value followed by a smaller value, you add them
VII = V+I+I = 5+1+1 7
VIII = V+I+I+I = 5+1+1+1 8
IX = X-I = 10-1 9
X = 10
You can guess the rest.
How about we do something more complicated;
Let's guess the value for these letters: - MDLXVII ?
Try to calculate each color separately
It's: - 1000+500+50+10+5+2 = 1567
Please let me know your comment and if you have any question I'll be happy to help.

A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in an Armani suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie (Corb), leans out the window and asks the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?" The shepherd looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers, "Sure. Why not?" The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his AT&T cell phone, surfs to a NASA page on the internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulas. He uploads all of this data via an email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1586 sheep." "That ' s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep."
