Back to the fuchsia……
by Sunil Bali, 20-05-12
Have you ever taken a potted plant and put it into a bigger pot? I did that a few weeks ago and the plant has grown to nearly double its size.
Many of us have been conditioned into thinking that we’re smaller than we are. Just as a small plant pot keeps a plant from growing or a small fish bowl keeps goldfish tiny, we have, as author Alan Cohen says, "adapted, adjusted, and accommodated to a Lilliputian life."
Place a goldfish from a bowl into a lake and it will grow to at least 10 times its size. Plant a bonsai in the garden and it will grow into a fully fledged tree.
Unlike the plant or the goldfish, you’re not dependent on someone else to move you. You have the power to move yourself. You can step into a much bigger domain and grow to your full potential.
So how about putting yourself in a place with people that will help you flourish?

Humour
For all you ladies who like a laugh and all you guys who have a good sense of humour…..
How to turn men down – with style!
HE Can I buy you a drink?
SHE Actually I’d rather have the money.
HE I’m a photographer. I’ve been looking for a face like yours.
SHE I’m a plastic surgeon. I’ve been looking for a face like yours.
HE Hi. Didn’t we go on a date once or was it twice?
SHE Must’ve been once. I never make the same mistake twice.
HE How did you get to be so beautiful?
SHE I must’ve been given your share.
HE Will you go out with me this Saturday?
SHE Sorry. I’m having a headache this weekend.
HE Your face must turn a few heads
SHE And your face must turn a few stomachs.
HE Go on, don’t be shy. Ask me out.
SHE Okay, get out.
HE I think I could make you very happy
SHE Why? Are you leaving?
HE What would you say if I asked you to marry me?
SHE Nothing. I can’t talk and laugh at the same time.
HE Can I have your name?
SHE Why? Don’t you already have one?
HE Shall we go see a movie?
SHE I’ve already seen it.
HE Where have you been all my life?
SHE Hiding from you.
HE Haven’t I seen you some place before?
SHE Yes. That’s why I don’t go there anymore.
HE Is this seat empty?
SHE Yes, and this one will be if you sit down.
HE So, what do you do for a living?
SHE I’m a female impersonator.
HE If I could see you naked, I’d die happy.
SHE If I saw you naked, I’d probably die laughing.
HE Where have you been all my life?
SHE Where I’ll be the rest of your life – in your wildest dreams.
To your success,
Sunil
