Wealth, success or Love...which would you choose?
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said.
What do you think the husband choose?
If I had to choose you Azilana,
First you have to visit My Confession Booth.
Then depending on the severity of sins and your time in penance,
This process will greatly influence, my decision process towards your selection.

I never direct my criticism at a person. Anyways I am in favour of freedom of speech and expression and believe everyone has the right to express his feelings.
will do so in quick order then..perhaps will bring them to a meeting of the minds...
Scarlett, if only you had sent an invitation.
Then it is ur moral duty as an American, a woman, a human being, a citizen of planet Earth and a fighter for all that is good and pure in this world to bake those cookies and give them to Corne! Let me hear everybody say Amen! *preaches from the podium in church*
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
Discretion for sensitive viewers, and apologies for those offended...but...
Fighting for peace is like F***ing for virginity.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
see you doing a victory bootay dance, girlie!! and was grinning...
ouch on the school bit...but cookies are the great equalizer...Might have to make you some of my famous chocolate chip cookies sometime...had a college student who was coaching my son's team, offer to come clean my house in return for payment in my chocolate chip cookies..lol (brought the stuff from home so they taste right...)
and yes...to end a was there has to be defeat OR at compromise...neither of which I see any time soon, unfortunately...
but neither side is completely innocent...just as neither side is completely guilty either
Oh Scarlett, u let me cause u love how cute I look shaking that bootay :P
I'm ok, just got back from college, had class at 7pm, how crazy is that?! But hey atleast the TA made us cookies to compensate :D
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong- Garfield
To start a war you can come up with hundred's of reasons. One of the best reasons I heard was (love for the Iraqi people) love for humanity/people. Some great speech writer!
To end the war you need someone to be defeated or to accept defeat.
And after the war they always say peace has been achieved although the road to peace was bumpy but we achieved it. (At the cost of millions of innocent lives)
occasionally...how you doing sweetie?
Oh so I was right! way to go Corne! *does her victory dance*
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
What would be the sum of
Power + Love = ?
(Dont say powerful love, you horny fellas)
Its all coz Nehru wanted to be the first PM.. thats how the religion war started between us

You are forgetting who is my mentor. By now you should have had a pretty good idea.
our cabinet would never get anywhere because we'd always be in disagreement over policy...mine would be peaceful and positive...
he didn't fight....used passive tactics...and i know...wish india and pakistan would make peace...
you aren't shattering my ideals...still have my viewpoints...and was just talking about peaceful ways to get somewhere..he missed...so forgive my comment on that..
Vote for Knoxcollege! OuR new Prime Minister of QL.

as not to offend people.
About Mother Teresa she was of a very noble character. I do respect her from the bottom of my heart.
On a side note why am I always debating with female members of QL. Though yesterday was someone else but my policy of not replying to personal accusations and personal remarks saved the day.
Its a forum folks. just remember
no coffe u shud respect Ghandhi and as well as Jinnah.
they both did their job and won independence 4 their ppl.
they can't live till the day of judgement and handle all the problems.
now this is our turn.
i mean the current crazy politicians

oops
Ghandi was an idiot???? as was Mother Teresa...???
but they should be disgraced if that's all you got out of it Knox...return your degree...you didn't learn anything..
good grief man....HH wanted to educate the young people of the Middle East...that's why it was created...to promote forward thinking individuals...and educate them so they can compete in today's world
physically abusive spouses are a totally different subject..but again...peaceful solution...take everything you own, kids, and move the heck out when he's gone, divorce him. no violence needed except to protect yourself.
without power?
you can spread knowledge with power but it doesnt work the other way around.
and in my mind I am ageless...perpetually a young woman..with young forward thinking ideas but with the experience that comes with being older.
Knox..you are I are going to lock horns again on this one..people don't need to have death and destruction to be peaceful..yes it does happen in life, but you can only start with your own corner of your personal universe, to be peaceful, then move outward and spread it amongst others.(peace, not war) Its like I've said a few times before...start in your own backyard...when its clear, then offer to help your neighbor.
I don't post stuff from other writers Knox...what i post, for the most part, comes from within me...my experience in being happy with who I am and what I believe in...I believe in my God, myself, and my family.
I do not agree with what you said about love being misused by:
" Love the most abused word in the dictionary, we are killing iraqis because we love them. we are putting an umbrella of constant terror threat because we love you. We are taking away your civil rights because we love you.
Love is just an emotion that dies away when the serotonin level decreases, it is just a euphoria that goes away pretty fast."
Love is NOT a seratonin level..that's lust and yes it goes away quite quickly when satisfied...you've obviously never been touched by true love. Your bitterness is showing through again..
that never present reality to the pupil and tell them that this world is a very peaceful place and everyone will give you your right without putting up a fight. and if you protest peacefully, he will be ashamed of his behavior and will hold you in very high regards.
Reality
He will consider you an idiot, believe me and than he will narrate the whole story to his peers and friends and than they will all have a good laugh.
i was j/k
dont mind

Cant think of more example as my mind has been over exploited today.
Example of women protests. Yeah lets see what happens to a peaceful woman when she protests peacefully to her physically abusive husband. She is going to make him peaceful, obedient, faithful etc etc

The only peace I know for me comes when I am in a grave.
Why do we always deny reality? Why dont we accept things as they are?
I have yet to see a peaceful person who did not need the support of war or whose peaceful purposes didnt cause the death of human species.
Lets be realistic instead of just posting stuff that we read in books by the writers who never achieved peace.
Love the most abused word in the dictionary, we are killing iraqis because we love them. we are putting an umbrella of constant terror threat because we love you. We are taking away your civil rights because we love you.
Love is just an emotion that dies away when the serotonin level decreases, it is just a euphoria that goes away pretty fast. Hurry up me needs to get some sleep and produce some Vitamin B

easy...carry the momentum...look at the women's movements back in the late 60's and early 70's in America...protests, sit ins..no violence...and we ended up getting our way with jobs, and respect in the working world and at home. yes..still working on some of the finer points, but like any good thing, it takes time.
Female vote..same thing..no violence, just protests...the black Americans had the vote almost 50 years before women did in America...but without any violence...women forced men to allow us the right to vote. Just takes patience and perserverence and a firm belief in what you want..basically, dedication
i know thats why i asked peace where

Happy searching for peace Dude. You cannot even find peace in dreams as they are not always peaceful.
The power if used for the right purposes can achieve peace, peace for the whole humanity. The power if exploited can cause enormous destruction.
You cannot get peace without power.(me is very tired so I am abstaining from long posts)
Simple example
Atomic power can be used for electrity or for catastrophic destruction.
what peace
peace in the house
country
or world
if its the last one you are living in a dream world wake up dude

peace might come with love which all the others follow..
when you are at peace with yourself, everything is possible...people who love themselves, and I mean truly accept all the things they actually are, are more able to love others...its the rolling snowball effect..
"I dont want wealth, success or Love, I desire power, as power is above all. The power to change anything"
I want peace
But i think PEACE is above all.
what do u say?

first of all....what makes a man think he can decide what women want at what age...??? He certainly is NOT speaking for me...
makes me wonder if he is married or not, he's so off course.
LOVE, not always in real life

It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do and THEN do your best.-W. Edwards Deming
Quoting Moudir
"and if the question is asked from a woman's perspective, "she" would say this:
1. Love: if she's never been married, and she's in her low 20's.
2. Success: if she has degrees, and she's in her 30's.
3. Wealth: if she's in her mid 40's , regardless of her background and education."
Dude I liked your answer so much that I have reposted it. Hope you will not mind little plagiarism.
Your answer is like capturing the whole sea in a bottle.
Wonderful, superb, brilliant.
I dont want wealth, success or Love, I desire power, as power is above all. The power to change anything.
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

YUP...TCOM is right...
It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do and THEN do your best.-W. Edwards Deming
I was going to say love also...but because that is the most elusive but also the most needed in any person..
Corne is right...people do NOT automatically love successful people..in fact that usually brings out the most deceiving people because they want to ride on your success, NOT love you for who you are.
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

success
I think the balance is important...
Success doesn't bring love. Love should be unconditional, which mean it's there no matter what ur situation is. The love success or wealther brings is only fake love, and who wants that ?
Like I said if u have someone who loves and supports, they'll help u in becoming successful which will bring u wealth.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
the missing fourth old man.........health. If I have this b.u.g.g.e.r then evrything else fits in place.:)
The art of being wise is to know what to overlook.
and if the question is asked from a woman's perspective, "she" would say this:
1. Love: if she's never been married, and she's in her low 20's.
2. Success: if she has degrees, and she's in her 30's.
3. Wealth: if she's in her mid 40's and looking, regardless of her background and education.
I am not that good in guessing what the husband would have said.
wealth will bring success, once if ur success u will get lot of love
everyone will love a man if he succeeds
