aussie dont feel too bad, I was part of that group (and I dont really qualify as a boring person) 🙂
am I allowed to add another deep thought? or is it restricted to 1 per day? 🙂
maybe give yourself a time limit, say you wont do it for 3 months and after the 3 months are up (successfully!) then tell yourself you’ll do it tomorrow, and its not really hard to wait another day because you’ve already waited 3 months to do it… hatzlacha! 🙂
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He
concludes by saying, “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed
in an accident.”
“OH NO!” the president exclaims. “That’s terrible!”
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously
watching as the president sits, his head cradled in his hands.
Finally, the president looks up and asks,
“How many is a Brazillion?”

mod 72 I felt bad for you…

Vayikra (Leviticus 1-5)
Do As I Do
In this week’s Torah Portion, God tells Moses the procedures the Jewish people must follow if they commit sin. And if:
“… the entire assembly of Israel shall err … the elders … shall lean their hands upon the head of the bull before God…” (Lev. 4:13-15)
A LIFE LESSON
If the Jewish nation as a whole commits a sin, the atonement for their actions falls primarily on their leaders. Why is it that the leaders have to make amends for a sin that they never committed? The reason is that oftentimes people in a position of authority believe that one set of ethics applies to them, while there’s another set of rules for those that they’re leading. But God tells us that if leaders feel this way, they miss the mark of what it means to be a leader.
In the real world, those in any “organization” will always follow the example of those who are in charge. Children pick up all the habits – good and bad – of their parents, employees pick up the behavior of their bosses, and the Jewish people followed the example of those who led them. And when the Jewish people erred, God knew that their behavior was a direct result of the actions being done by those who were leading them. If the people sinned, it was in large part due to the environment that was created by the elders that allowed the sin to foster.
In our own lives, we all play some sort of leadership role. And the behavior of those we lead will always be a direct result of our own behavior. If a child answers the telephone and is told by his parent who is standing right next to him to tell the caller he isn’t home, the child then internalizes this behavior. So when the parent tells this child the following week that he or she should never tell a lie, the child now faces a serious internal conflict. On one hand, he wants to listen to his parent. But, on the other hand he also wants to emulate the actions of his parent whom he respects. Does he listen to what he says, or do as he does?
God tells us that people will usually follow actions they see over the words they hear – and this is why the elders had to bring an atonement when the Jewish people committed a sin. God tells us that the reason the people sinned was that the breeding ground for the negative behavior already existed.
People will follow what you do over what you say. If you want to instill a certain type of behavior in others, then create the environment for it to happen. Not by declarations, but by embracing and living the desired behavior yourself.

A Long Way Home
Two blonde friends were going on a trip to Florida. A neighbor told them that they’d be fine as long as they paid attention to the road signs along the way. But they’d driven just 30 miles when they saw one that read “Clean Restrooms Ahead.”
Two months later they arrived in Florida exhausted, having used up 86 bottles of Windex, 267 rolls of paper towels, and three cases of toilet-bowl cleaner.
Total restrooms cleaned: 450.

on a bit of a different note it bothers me when I see a post that was updated very quickly like 30 seconds and I see it 20 minutes later and I think, what did I accomplish in those 20 minutes? nothing… :/

Theres no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes

🙂

K for kapusta
🙂
anonymisss, I didnt see the part about the issues with her parents part, basically you cant back up her parents because shes wrong, and yo cant back her up because her parents are wrong… tight spot. this is VERY random, but maybe do something with her, like learn something, maybe shmiras halashon or something like that (actually someone told me theres a book called purity of speech which has very simple halachos if you would like, I could probably get you more info on that) but take something and make it “yours” it’ll be your special thing that youre both very careful about. 🙂

anonymisss what are her strong points? what does she like to do (that she does well) maybe show her that she can excel at something even if its not academics. sounds to me like shes just frustrated with her life right now. maybe even something like music (there is nothing in this world like good music and especially something that she would put effort into. something like piano or guitar is not exceptionally hard and it can be so beautiful. but tell me what she likes and what her interests are in, it’ll be much easier then. and also, how old is she? 🙂
I gotta go now, dont have too much fun without me 😉 hope to be back later!
