Study/Work Smart or Hard?
The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary....
Consider the story of two lumberjacks in a tree-cutting contest. Both were strong and determined, hoping to win the prize. But one was hardworking and ambitious, chopping down every tree in his path at the fastest pace possible, while the other appeared to be a little more laid back, methodically felling trees and pacing himself. The go-getter worked all day, skipping his lunch break, expecting that his superior effort would be rewarded. His opponent, however, took an hour-long lunch, and then resumed his steady pace. In the end, the eager beaver was dismayed to lose to his "lazier" competition. Thinking he deserved to win after his hard work, he finally approached his opponent and said, "I just don't understand. I worked longer and harder than you, and went hungry to get ahead. You took a break, and yet you still won. It just doesn't seem fair. Where did I go wrong?" The winner responded, "While I was taking my lunch break, I was sharpening my ax."
Hard work will always pay off; smart work will pay better after the hard work is done. Remember back in school, there were the people who studied all day and all night, but still struggled to pass exams?(I hope you are not one of them).Then there were the people who studied hard but also found time for a game of football and still aced every test and exam. Both groups studied the same material, attended the same lectures, were taught by the same professors, and took the same test. Was the second group just that much more brilliant? Maybe, but my money's on the way they approached their material and learned how to study. If they were smart, they applied those same principles after graduation: work hard, but also work smart...
After all,do we have to actually chose between working/studying hard or smart?
God gives us brain and body......so shouldnt we appreciate it by using both?

CL Game 2,Day 1
Arsenal vs Olympiakos
TEAM NEWS
Arsenal
Wenger will be without midfielder Denilson, whose back problem has been diagnosed as a fracture that will keep him out of action for a further two months, while striker Nicklas Bendtner will be unavailable following a minor car crash on Sunday.Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is not expected to have recovered fully from a chest virus, so Vito Mannone should continue between the sticks. Samir Nasri is still recuperating from a broken leg, but Theo Walcott has recovered from a back injury and could feature, possibly by coming off the bench.
Last starting XI (v Fulham): Mannone; Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy; Song, Diaby, Fabregas; Bendtner, Arshavin (Rosicky 69), Van Persie (Eboue 84).
Squad: Mannone, Clichy, Gallas, Vermaelen, Sagna, Song, Diaby, Fabregas, Arshavin, Eduardo, Van Persie, Szczesny, Rosicky, Eboue, Silvestre, Ramsey, Gibbs, Wilshere, Vela, Watt, Walcott.

PREDICTION
The mantra in the Champions League group stage is to win your home games, and that is certainly what Arsenal will be aiming to do against a side who had acquired a reputation as notoriously bad travellers in European competition until recently. Until losing to Manchester United in last season's semi-final, Arsenal had gone five years without suffering a home defeat in the Champions League - a run spanning 23 matches and stretching back to April 2004 - and the defeat was also their first in the Champions League at the stadium in 18 matches there, including qualifying games. Olympiacos will provide tough opposition, but the Gunners should edge it.

Prime Minister and Doctor
Some once said "what goes around comes around"
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while
trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming
from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.
There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy,
screaming and struggling to free himself.
Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and
terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse
surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced
himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer
replied, waving off the offer.
At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family
hovel.
> >
"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my
son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt
grow to be a man we both will be proud of."
> >
And that he did.
> >
Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, he
graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on
to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander
Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
> >
Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was
stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time?
> >
Penicillin.
> >The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.
> >His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.(ex PM of Britain)

Are you the ONE?
"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "that's her"....
