When Grandma Goes To Court

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren’t
prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first
witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her
and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know me?’ She responded, ‘Why, yes, I do
know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a boy, and
frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on
your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their
backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to
realize you’ll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper
pusher. Yes, I know you.’

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across
the room and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?’

She again replied, ‘ Why yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was
a youngster, too. He’s lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He
can’t build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is
one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his
wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know
him.’

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very
quiet voice, said, ‘If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me,
I’ll send you both to the electric chair.’

“Forgiving”

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Another day is passing. Life is not always easy when we have to make choices: Opportunity or challenge, lucky or risk, happiness or sadness…No one could guess what’s gonna happen until we have to take the chance.

If We have made the choice, why we regret some times? All I could answer here is we are uncertain about ourselves.

What we are going to do when time never come back?Yesterday was history that we could never change. So that, we should live for today, enjoy every moment we have and the past would be a good lesson for tomorrow.

You and me could make the others upset, let someone down,disappointed them sometimes. However, the truth is always naked . Background, culture, education,how a person being brought up often generate troubles, misunderstanding, hurt..

Forgiving is the best way that you and me can do. Leaving the sadness, pain, hurt…behind, thinking positive, doing what you haven’t done, enjoying what you haven’t had chance to do… Opening your heart and smiling to people. Tomorrow is a different day.

It is easy to say rather than to do since it’s human to make mistake. we are not god to easily forgive someone especially when that person ignored our feeling.

However we have to move on for our own sake. Forgiving does not mean you forget everything. It merely means accepting it as a part of human life.

Winter!

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

I hate winter. It is too cold that i could wear some fancy dresses and clothes (^_^).
Today is also the day i finished my first exam-corporate financial management. Only 2.5 months to consume a huge amount of bored financing knowledge! However I love it. It is such a challenge subject. I prefer the calculation to theory questions. Before the exam i received loads of messages wishing me good luck and advice from friends. They are so nice, thank you guys.
Slept right after being back home before having a big dinner! Oh god! lovely day…
I miss Vietnam and my parents so so much…how are they now?
