THE SICK LION By Aesop

  A Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death
at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals, his
subjects, came round him and drew nearer as he grew more and
more
helpless. When they saw him on the point of death they thought to
themselves: "Now is the time to pay off old grudges." So the Boar
came up and drove at him with his tusks; then a Bull gored him
with his horns; still the Lion lay helpless before them: so the
Ass, feeling quite safe from danger, came up, and turni

The Touchy Heart

TOUCHY HEART!

Once a rich man had some spare time to watch movie.  That was the story, filmed very effectively, of a poor little girl.  She was so poor that she had to beg for food to eat.  In the move it was shown that people were mistreating her and scolding to get lost seeing her poor filthy dress.  The rich man had been crying throughout the movie seeing the miserable condition of the girl.  When the movie was over the rich man was still crying while he was coming out of the theatre. 

He went

down, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, killing
him instantly. Neither the shooter no

Love and Time


Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others,
including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the
island would sink, so all constructed boats and left.
Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold
out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, 
"Richness, can you take me with you?"

There was a boy who was always losing his temper.
His father gave him a bag full of nails and said to him,
“My son, I want you to hammer a nail into our garden
fence every time you need to direct your anger 
against something and you lose your temper.” 
So the son started to follow his father’s advice. 
On the first day he hammered in 37 nails,
but getting the nails into the fence was not easy,
so he started trying to control himself when he got .
As the days went by, he was hammering in less nails,

Who's Behind A Name

I noticed many my.EC members are using their real name. They write it fully, half of it, nick name only and maybe using abbreviation of their name. That’s no fancy for me, but when it comes to such a philosophy's name, I wonder why did that person choose that name. I hope I am not alone here so I post this to know if some people here feel the same with me. Long time ago I’ve got an experience relate to this, here is it.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, I think i should apply this idiom more often

4 Smile when introducing yourself.
5 Have a firm handshake.
6 Be the first person to say "hello".

Lost and got back

I went to the sea

to ask about you

Climbed  steep mountains

to find you

Wondering into the woods

Asked neighbors

made several phone calls

Silence was there

Many days passed by

 Pretending to forget

Then the Summer breeze told me

 yesterday you went to the brook

to hear  my voice.

Last night was horrible. My roomate and I got used to having chit chat before sleep. She started to talk about her little sister after I turned off the lamp and set my alarm. At first it was a light talk but it brought us into forbidden theme.She told me her third eye had been opened. So, she could see ‘unusual’ things in the past. Then, her father closed it because she became a nurse and afraid this ability might bother her somehow. That was quite a surprise for me because she just a clumsy gir

First off, I want to make a simile in order to clarify and highlight the importance of this blog’s topic. Motivation for humans is like petrol in the fuel tank of a car. It inspires the will power, instills hope into the souls, and keeps everybody encouraged to achieve their wants. Motivation is a pivotal necessity in our lives, and without motivation, we look like walking ghosts who are wandering aimlessly.
We have different goals in our lives and different motivational factors to reach these g

A match made in heaven!

"When you cry I'll fight to put a smile on your face
If you fall, we fall
I will hear you call...
We're a match made in heaven"

Just kidding! Okay, here's the deal. There are a bunch of idioms that you must guess by looking at these pictures. Find them. Use them in sentences and um..., uh..., yep, that'll be all. Two pics; one idiom. Is it clear? Oh, I chose the pictures at random. Have fun!
