Mahathma Gandhi

Funny side of Mahathma Ghandhi . 
When Mahathma Gandhi   was studying law at the University College, London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room when Ghandi  came along with his tray & sat next to the professor.
The professor said,
"Mr Ghandi  , you do not understand, *a pig & a bird do not sit together to eat.*"
Ghandji looked at him as a parent would a rude child & calmly replied,
*"You do not worry professor. I'll fly away,"*
& he went & sat at another table.
Mr. Peters,  reddened with rage, decided to take revenge.
The next day in Class he posed the following question:
"Mr.ghandi , if you were walking down the street & found a package, & within was a bag of wisdom & another bag with money, which one would you take ?"
Without hesitating, Ghandji responded, "The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said,
"I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."
Mahathma Gandhi  shrugged & responded, *"Each one takes what he doesn't have."*
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great was his anger that he wrote on Mahathma Ghandi's exam sheet the word "IDIOT"
& gave it to Ghandi
Ghandji took the exam sheet & sat down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.
A  few  minutes later, Mahathma Ghandhi got up, went to the professor & told him in a dignified polite tone,
"Mr. Peters, *you signed the sheet*, but you did not give me the grade .

向上和向下讀

【转帖】中國文化, 真是绝妙
          春
          似酒
          味醇厚
          歲月悠悠
        轉身又回首
      再無喜樂哀愁
    往事如煙花依舊
  唯友誼綿長如水流
緣牽一路有你陪著走
晨曦襯彩霞雨中漫遊
待到紅葉濃時再聚首
  品茶論酒賞石敘舊
    落英滿地雲舒袖
      歡聲笑語不休
        夕陽掛枝頭
          紅塵看透
          別無求
          靜候
          春
工作忙的由上而下讀;
已退休的由下向上念,
感受不同啊!
