A few nice brain teasers.

A few nice brain teasers.

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wo nderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

4. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.












ANSWERS:

1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.

2. The woman is a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.

3. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!

4. The letter "e" - the most common letter in the English language - is missing from the entire paragraph!

who is responsible or whom to blame?

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They
were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy
was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle
open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and
keep it in the cupboard.His wife,preoccupied in the kitchen totally
forgot the matter.


The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle
fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous
medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the
mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was
stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.


When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead
child,he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

ANSWER :


The husband just said "I am with you Darling"


The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The
child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to
keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be
blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment
was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.


If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would
be much fewer problems in the world. " A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step. Take off all your envies, jealousies,unforgiv
eness, selfishness, and fears.
And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.



MORAL OF THE STORY:


This story is really worth reading. ..... Sometimes we spend time in
asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship,
in a job or with the people we know.

I wonder sometimes, how difficult it is to what we want to become and what we actually do.... following simple principles can make our life very happy and beautiful but still we, including me, do actions to regert later... why?

i publish my varied thoughts under this blog... hoping to remind myself how, why, etc... hopefully, i will add value to this earth before departing...
