The Charlie Schulz Philosophy

The Charlie Schulz Philosophy


(This is marvelous!! Scroll thru slowly and read carefully to receive and enjoy full effect)

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.

Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers.

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies.

Awards tarnish.

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money...or the most awards.

They simply are the ones who care the most

Your Weakness : An Inspirational Short Story

This inspirational short story offers words of wisdom about our strengths and weaknesses.

Your Weakness : An Inspirational Short Story

This is a story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the Sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the Sensei intervened. "No," the Sensei insisted, "Let him continue."

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and Sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" "You won for two reasons," the Sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defence for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

The boy's greatest weakness had become his greatest strength.

Today’s Learning:

We sometimes allow our weaknesses to be our downfall rather than using them to our advantage. We tell ourselves we cannot do something because we do not feel it is our strength. But, if we didn't dwell on our weaknesses, we may find that we could succeed.

The story reminds us of the quote by Thomas Edison, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." We tend to give up rather than persevere. We all need to be reminded that sometimes what we perceive as our weakness could actually turn out to be our strength.

This too shall pass

Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them, " Is there a

mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every circumstances,

in every place and in every time. In every joy, every sorrow, every defeat

and every victory? One answer for all questions? Something which can help me

when none of you is available to advise me? Tell me is there any mantra?"



All the wise men were puzzled by the King's question. They thought and

thought. After a lengthy discussion, an old man suggested something which

appealed to all of them. They went to the king and gave him something

written on paper, with a condition that the king was not to see it out of

curiosity.



Only in extreme danger, when the King finds himself alone and there seems to

be no way, only then he can see it. The King put the papers under his

Diamond ring.



Some time later, the neighbors attacked the Kingdom. King and his army

fought bravely but lost the battle. The King had to flee on his horse. The

enemies were following him. getting closer and closer. Suddenly the King

found himself standing at the end of the road - that road was not going

anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he

jumped into it, he would be finished.and he could not return because it was

a small road.the sound of enemy's horses was approaching fast. The King

became restless. There seemed to be no way.



Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun, and he

remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond and read

the message. The message was - " THIS TOO SHALL PASS"



The King read it . Again read it. Suddenly something struck him- Yes ! This

too will pass. Only a few days ago, I was enjoying my kingdom. I was the

mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today, the Kingdom and all his pleasure have

gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. Like those days of luxuries

have gone, this day of danger too will pass. A calm came on his face. He

kept standing there. The place where he was standing was full of natural

beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of

his Kingdom.



The revelation of the message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and

forgot about those following him. After a few minutes he realized that the

noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some

other part of the mountains and were near him.



The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He

defeated the enemy and regained his empire. When he returned to his empire

after victory, he was received with much fanfare. The whole capital was

rejoicing in the victory.



Everyone was in a festive mood. Flowers were being showered on King from

every house, from every corner. People were dancing and singing. For a

moment King said to himself," I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It

is not easy to defeat me. With all the reception and celebration he saw an

ego emerging in him.



Suddenly the Diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of

the message. He open it and read it again: "THIS TOO SHALL PASS".



He became silent. His face went through a total change - from the egoist he

moved to a state of utter humbleness. If this too is going to pass, it is

not yours. The defeat was not yours, the victory is not yours. You are just

a watcher. Everything passes by. We are witnesses of all this. We are the

perceivers. Life comes and goes. Happiness comes and goes. Sorrow comes and

goes.



Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate your own

life. This too will pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your

life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent ? They

all come and pass away.



Life just passes away. There is nothing permanent in this world. Every thing

changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective.

You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks, all defeats

and all sorrows. All have passed away. The problems in the present, they too

will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two

faces of the same coin. They both will pass away.



You are just a witness of change. Experience it, understand it, and enjoy

the present moment - this too shall pass!

Microwaved Water - See What It Does To Plants

Microwaved Water - See What It Does To Plants

Below is a science fair project. In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave.

Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave.

She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave.

As it turned out, even she was amazed at the

difference.

I have known for years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about, It's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it. So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast.

Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these "Safe" appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed them when the blood went in dead.

But the makers say it's safe.

Never mind then, keep using them.

Ask your Doctor I am sure they will say it's safe too.

Proof is in the pictures of living plants dying.

Remember You are also Living. Take Care.

Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven
From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies,
we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens.
Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following:
1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food..

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America ..

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of
intelligence.

Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet?

After you throw out your microwave

you can use a toaster oven as a replacement.

It works well for most and is nearly as quick.

Health Plus (How to prevent Cancer)

Johns Hopkins Update.."A Very Good Article AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .. Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins : 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer      cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have    multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients    that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after      treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the    cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable    size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a      person's lifetime. 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer    cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and    forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has    nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,    but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing     diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day      and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing    cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells    in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can    cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. 7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars    and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. 8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often    reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of    chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor    destruction. 9. When the body has too much toxic burden from    chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either    compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb    to various kinds of infections and complications. 10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to      mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.      Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other      sites. 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer      cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. *CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made    with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute     would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small     amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in    color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the    gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting    off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer    cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based    diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat,     like chicken. Meat also contains livestock    antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all    harmful, especially to people with cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole    grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into    an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked    food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live    enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to    cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance    growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building    healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most    vegetables including be an sprouts) and eat some raw    vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at    temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).. e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high    caffeine Green tea is a better alternative  and has cancer    fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or    filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap    water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of      digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the      intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic      buildup. 13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By      refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes      to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the      body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 14. Some supplements build up the immune system      (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,      EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy      cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known      to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's      normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or      unneeded cells. 15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.      A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior     be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put     the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to     have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy     life. 16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated      environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to      get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen      therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer      cells. 1. No plastic containers in micro. 2. No water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in microwave.. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Please share this with your whole email list......................... Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
