ALEXANDER THE GREAT'S LAST WORDS
OF WHAT USE IS IT TO A MAN, IF HE GAINETH THE WHOLE WORLD BUT LOSES HIS OWN SOUL......HE SHOULD TAKE A LESSON FROM ALEXANDER THE GREAT"
Mahathir and all our politicians should also take heed.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT'S LAST WORDS
"Ice melts when heated"
"Eyes melt when hated"
Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last.
He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail."
With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.
"My first desire is that", said Alexander, "My physicians alone must carry my coffin."
After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury".
The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin".
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared bring the question to their lips.. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart.
"O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"
At this Alexander took a deep breath and said: "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.
Lessons to be learned from last 3 wishes of King Alexander...
I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.
The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.
And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world".
With these words, the king closed his eyes.
Soon he let death conquers him and breathed his last. . . .
LESSONS TO LEARN:
Remember, your good health is in your own hands, look after it.
Wealth is only meaningful if you can enjoy while you are still alive and kicking.
What you do for yourself dies with you but what you do for others, lives on.
It is called "Legacy".
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only Good Health keeps You Going!

Saudi Ban on Woman Driving
Subject: Re: Saudi authorities are reportedly planning to push ahead with a court ruling and flog a woman
Why do we not see such news on main medias including Al Jazeera, is it because they are biased and work with some agenda?
Saudi authorities are reportedly planning to push ahead with a court ruling and flog a woman for defying a ban on female drivingdespite winning a royal pardon.
Shaima Jastaniya was sentenced to 10 lashes by a court in the city of Jeddah in September for persistently flouting the conservative kingdom's men-only driving rule.
The court's ruling, however, was overturned days later by the Saudi Arabian ruler, King Abdullah, who pardoned Jastaniya upon a request from Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a billionaire entrepreneur who is Saudi Arabia 's richest man, and his wife, Princess Ameerah, to spare the young mother.
The royal couple called Jastaniya and reassured her that the charges against her would be dropped. But it seems that no one has informed the court in Jeddah and it has now sent a notification to Jastaniya announcing that her sentence is still in place.
It is widely believed that the Saudi government wants to make an example of her.
"Shaima is frightened and very confused," said a friend and fellow activist, adding that, "She thought that this was finished, but apparently not. It was bad enough that she was sentenced, but if she is pardoned and still gets punished it would be ridiculous."
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that bans women from driving. The ban is not enforced by law but is a religious fatwa imposed by the country's Wahhabi clerics.
Wahhabism is an extremely intolerant interpretation of Islam and gained momentum after the discovery of oil in the kingdom in 1938. Saudi Arabia is a Wahhabi state.
