Real values
« on: September 25, 2013, 10:53:52 AM »
A Saudi prince went to Germany to study.

A month later, he sent a letter to his dad saying, "Berlin is wonderful, the people are nice, and I really like it here, but I'm a bit ashamed to arrive to school with my gold Mercedes when all my teachers travel by train."

Sometime later he received a letter from his dad with a ten million dollar check saying, "Stop embarrassing us. Go and get yourself a train too!"
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

There is a possibility that this one might be a little hard to keep track off. :nahnah

NOT  :hijacked  but I'm with you Biggles, where did brother "Tipsy" come from    :think1

BUT, real values, what are they ??? the older I get, the more I reflect, on our current social economic society (Sydney)

Was the past RIGHT or is the present WRONG or visa a versa.

My boys still hold the door open for people (some appreciate the intend. They do have other basic life skills.) but "karma" is a ?????
At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)
