Since the serious tragedy in USA in September 11, 2001. This time the jokes will be canceled in this E-zine. Let's keep silent for three minutes for the people who were died. We can see that there many many people wait for 8 hours just to give blood to help the wounded people and there are many countries try to offer help. We can see so many things like that and also we can see the hope. This suffering will pass and everything will become better soon.

If the world is like a village and there are 100 people live in this village by all races, then there will be:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans
8 Africans
52 females and 48 males
6 of them own 89% wealth of this village
80 people live in a bad conditions
70 people are illiterate
50 people are short of food
1 is dying
1 is coming to this world
1 has a computer
1 has a bachelor degree

If we use this way to see this world, then remember the following:

If this morning you wake up and have a good health, then you are lucky than other millions people because they even can't see the sunrise in next week.
If you have never experienced the danger of a war and the loneliness in a prison, the cruel punishment and the feeling of hunger, then you live better than other five hundred million people.
If there is food in your fridge and you have clothes and house, then you are richer than other 75% people in the world.
If you have deposit in your bank, banknote in your wallet and changes in the box, then you belong to the 8% top lucky people all over the world.
If your parents are alive and you aren't divorced, then you are really rare in this world.
If you can understand this article, then you aren't the other 2 billion illiterate people.
Therefore we live here as well as this world is the heaven.

1. Honest
George Washington is a very good example for it. Unfortunately, not everyone likes to hear the truth. Therefore, when someone tells you a truth, try to be grateful than angry because that is a wise man will do.
2. Keep Promise
It's not easy to keep promise all the time, so a person who can really do this seldom will say:"I promise... I swear..." If someone gives you a promise once in a blue moon , then you can believe him.
3. Brave
The bravery is neither jumping from the highest place nor fighting with the strongest one, that is called craziness. The real bravery is when you know you are wrong, you can make an apology.
