THE NATURE OF THINGS
------------------------
Two friends were washing their bowls in the river when they noticed a scorpion that was drowning. One of them immediately scooped it up and set it upon the bank. In the process he was stung. He went back to washing his bowl and again the scorpion fell in. The friend saved the scorpion and was again stung. The other friend asked him, "Friend, why do you continue to save the scorpion when you know it's nature is to sting?"

"Because," he replied, "to save it is my nature."

(Another version of this story describes a fox who agrees to carry a scorpion on its back across a river, upon the condition that the scorpion does not sting him. But the scorpion does indeed sting the fox when they are in midstream. As the fox begins to drown, taking the scorpion with him, he pleadingly asks why the scorpion has jeopardized both of them by stinging. "Because it's my nature.")

Despite the consequences all things can not be but what they are. Each acts according to its nature and no amount of logic or reason overcomes our basic fundamental nature...

Nature shows you what is right, it is your choice to listen and follow through with it no matter the cost."

Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Centre found that exposure to ultraviolet light may produce a relaxing effect. The research was reported in the July issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. For six weeks, study participants had tanning sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays in two identical-looking tanning beds. They spent half of each session in one bed and half in the other. Only one bed used ultraviolet light (UV). UV light occurs naturally in sunlight and is responsible for the tanning and burning effects of the sun. Artificial UV light is used in tanning beds and sunlamps. Mood was measured before and after each tanning exposure. The results revealed greater relaxation and lower tension after UV exposure compared to non-UV exposure. The researchers theorize that UV exposure leads to the release of chemicals in the brain called endorphins that are linked to both pain relief and euphoric feelings.

If you can't get natural sunlight, full-spectrum bulbs may have the same effect.

SPEECH
---------
An intelligent youth possessed an abundant share of accomplishments and discreet behaviour so that he was allowed to sit in assemblies of learned men but he refrained from conversing with them. His father once asked him why he did not likewise speak on subjects he was acquainted with. He replied: 'I fear I may be asked what I do not know and be put to shame.'

Hast thou heard how a Sufi drove
A few nails under his sandals
And an officer taking him by the sleeve
Said to him: 'Come and shoe my horse.'

For what thou hast not said no one will trouble thee
But when thou hast spoken...

DOING NOTHING
----------------
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
