The ten classical life discourse of Bill Gates

 1.Life is not fair, get used to it.
  
2.The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself. 
  
3.You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
  
4.If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure.
  
5.Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
  
6.If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about our mistakes, learn from them.

7.Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try “delousing” the closet in your own room.

8.Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
  
9.Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

10.Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Classic English love saying

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

2.No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is ,won’t make you cry.

3.The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them.

4.Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

5.  To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

6. Don’t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.

7.   Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

8. Don’t try to hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

9.  Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

Switzerland beat Spain 1-0

2010 FIFA World Cup-Spain

That was a shock. Spain lose to Switzerland and Iker Casillas is beaten twice – only the post saving Spain from losing 2-0. I’m not as convinced as I was – in fact I’d say that even if they did qualify, if they found today hard the last 16 and quarter finals are going to be like climbing Mount Everest in comparison. It will be made even harder if the way Iniesta was limping when he was substituted turns out to be serious and we suspect it might be, as he does appear to have been rushed back – when it really wasn’t necessary. But no doubt we will get more news on that very soon. But for now, congratulations Switzerland – you actually do deserve it. No go forth and pick up four more points and you will qualified.

You’ll see the table for Group H below – but Spain have nothing. That was not what what we predicted and we also got the full house prediction wrong. We are not having a good day.

2010 FIFA World Cup–Germany top bill on Super Sunday

The highlight of Sunday’s three games is the Group D meeting between three-time world champions Germany and an Australia side looking to build on the progress they made at Germany 2006. In the other match in the pool Ghana will put their ability to overcome the absence of Michael Essien to the test against Serbia, who topped their qualification group ahead of France and have a solid core of experienced players to call on.

Germany have won all their opening matches in their last five FIFA World Cup™ appearances, a record that will surely be tested by the combative Australians. German preparations for South Africa 2010 have been dogged by injury problems. Captain Michael Ballack, goalkeeper Rene Adler, defender Heiko Westermann and midfielder Simon Rolfes all missed out on places in the squad. And with old hands Jens Lehmann, Torsten Frings, Kevin Kuranyi and Christoph Metzelder having all fallen out of favour since UEFA EURO 2008, Joachim Low’s relatively inexperienced squad has a youthful look about it.

That lack of international know-how did not stop Low’s young guns from racking up nine goals in their three warm-up wins, though their achilles heel could be in central defence, where Per Mertesacker and Arne Friedrich will be teaming up for the first time.

In contrast Australia have made few to the well-knit unit that clinched a surprise place in the Round of 16 four years ago. The duel between the towering Joshua Kennedy and the German defence will prove crucial to Socceroo hopes of a notable result in Durban.

In the first match of the day Algeria and Slovenia go head to head in a game neither can afford to lose, especially with meetings against Group C favourites England and USA to come. Slovenia are making their second appearance at the finals, having disposed of Russia in the play-offs, while the Desert Foxes clinched their place at South Africa 2010 in a one-off decider against old foes Egypt.

Babylon, was a city-state of ancient Mesopotamia, the remains of which are found in present-day Al Hillah, Babil Province Iraq, about 85 kilometers (55 mi) south of Baghdad. All that remains of the original ancient famed city of Babylon today is a mound, or tell, of broken mud-brick buildings and debris in the fertile Mesopotamian plain between the Tigrils and Euphrats rivers, in Iraq. Although it has been reconstructed, historical resources inform us that Babylon was at first a small town, that had sprung up by the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. The town flourished and attained prominence and political repute with the rise of the First Babylonian Dynasty. It was the holy city of Babylonia by approximately 2300 BC, and the seat of the Neo-Babylonian Empire from 612 to 539 BC. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
