"I wish you enough!"

Hello, my friend!
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's!
Those of you who have been reading my work for a
year or more, know that every Father's Day I visit
my father's grave and sing "Danny Boy" to him.
I have since 1998. In case you were wondering I will again.

As we head into the weekend and Father's Day, I
needed to take time to show my appreciation to
a great guy I happen to call my brother.

There's ten years difference between us, so his childhood
and mine were starkly different. I was born in 1950.
He was born in 1940. The 40's were difficult times.

I never really knew the tough times growing up but
through the years I've come to know how diffiicult they
were for him.

Oddly, I think he became the man he is today not in spite
of those times, but because he had to learn the hard way.
He took what he had and made the very best out of it.

He was also blessed with one super dedicated, loving
and creative wife. Perhaps his real reason to make it all
work out for the best. I don't believe he could have done
it without her.

I make no excuses for my sentimental tribute today.
He is the best father I know.
My best to you always and all ways,
Bob and Marianne

"Call your father!"
Bob Perks

"He may not have heard "I love you!"
By Bob Perks
He worked hard all of his life.

Not just laboring to pay the bills,
but larboring with the idea that he was
even worthy to be called Dad.

You see, he came from a difficult upbringing.
His father rode him like a truck. From the
moment he was able to get a job, his father
told him what job to take and how much to work.
That left little time for any kind of social life
a high school boy would need.

Although his father loved him, he would never tell
him. I guess he thought it was just understood.
It wasn't. Maybe it was because his father never
told him. Things like this are sometimes passed
on instead of changed.

Either way it laid heavy on this young man
right through adulthood.

He sometimes worked three jobs while trying to
raise a family. That meant he would never be
educated beyond high school and having three
children would take every dollar they had.

Vacations? Somehow they always pulled them
off. They may not have been at the Grand Hotel
but they made memories of the grandest proportions
from one end of the country to the other.

All three kids grew up to be happy, successful adults.

Now, in his retirement years, he and his incredible
wife have taken to finally enjoying life. They both
struggle with serious medical problems. You would
never really notice. I tell everyone they are the happiest
couple I know.

He may not have become the CEO of a large corporation.
He did become the CEO of a great family blessed with
grandchildren and grand dogs, too.

He may not have made a fortune in the stock market.
But he took stock in his future and it paid off in the love
of his family.

He may not have built a new home on hundreds of acres,
but he bought and paid for one a corner lot in a great community
...a place they call home.

He may not have finally heard "I love you!" from his father.
But he hears it from me every chance I can tell him.

He learned to be one great father the hard way.
Happy Fathers Day..."I love you, Tom!"

"I wish you enough,

There's never been a better time for the world to consider
the significance of having
"Enough."

God knows we've gained so little in pursuit of having
too much.
This is more than a nice collection of stories
to make you smile or warm your heart.
It's time as people of faith to
realize how significant just having "enough" really is.

"When having more leaves you empty, you discover true happiness
lies in enough!"

"I Wish You enough!"
Š 2001 Bob Perks
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear
much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."

Ultimate Germ Defense

Posted June 18, 2010 by Leeg in Making A Difference, Health, Family & Home, Planet

Every single day around the globe, inside each and every country, inside
each and every local community, within each and every house, school as
well as location of business, an unseen fight is happening.

It's the battle in opposition to sickness spread by viruses, bacteria
and fungus. The checklist of health dangers is lengthy and also
unpleasant: H1N1 (Swine Flu), Influenza A, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA,
VRE, HIV 1, Salmonella, E. coli – to name only a few.

These threats cause extraordinary misery and much illness. Often, they
cause death. The threats are invisible. They strike young and old, men,
women and children, without regard for race or nationality.

A lot of antibacterial products exist – but many are not really
successful. The majority of make use of alcohol or chlorine bleach, so
that they are usually harmful to human beings and also hazardous for the
environment.

But we’re not helpless against these silent, invisible threats. After
almost a decade of research and development, science has found a new way
to defend our families, homes, schools and businesses against the germs
that surround us.

The answer will come by means of a clear, odor free fluid disinfectant
referred to as IV-7 Ultimate Germ Defense™.

Exactly the same technological know-how which powers IV-7 Ultimate Germ
Defense™, in concentrate form, is actually highly effective enough to
purify a gallon of normal water – along with charitable contributions of
the product have been made by means of the Red Cross as well as other
humanitarian agencies to purify water right after 100 % natural
disasters including the tsunami and earthquakes inside China and Haiti.
Potent enough to be the 1st brand new antibacterial technology approved
through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in thirty years.

Potent enough to destroy viruses and bacteria in as quickly as thirty
mere seconds – a considerably faster kill time compared to typical
products.

Powerful enough to give 24-hour residual protection on hard surfaces –
which other products can’t.

It's not only powerful, however it gained the EPA's "Category IV"
listing, that is the lowest toxicity and implies that -- as opposed to
other products -- no hazard or precautionary labeling is required. Free
of alcohol, bleach or other toxic ingredients.

If IV-7 Ultimate Germ Defense™ sounds extraordinary, it really is.

It's patented and registered by the U.S. government.

My 3 Oaths and Letter of Appreciation from District Edu

Posted June 10, 2010 by Dr. Harmander Singh in Inspiration, Making A Difference, Oneness

My 3 Oaths and Letter of Appreciation from Australia and District Education Officer

I have taken 3 Oaths and it helps me in keep going:

Scout Oath

On my honour, I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God[1] and my country,
To help other people at all times,
And to obey the Scout/Guide Law.

The Scout/Guide Law has the following main points included in the 3rd Scout Oath:

Scout Law

1. A Scout/Guide is trustworthy

2. A Scout/Guide is loyal

3. A Scout/Guide is a friend to all and a brother/sister to every other Scout/Guide.

4. A Scout/Guide is courteous

5. A Scout/Guide is a friend to animals and loves nature.

6. A Scout/Guide is disciplined and helps protect public property.

7. A Scout/Guide is courageous.

8. A Scout/Guide is thrifty.

9. A Scout/Guide is pure in thought, word and deed.

This movement serving worldwide has a mission:

"The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society."

[1] - The word "Dharma" may be substituted for the word "God" if so desired.

(http://www.bookrags.com/wiki/The_Bharat_Scouts_and... )

The Main Website in India: http://www.bsgindia.org/

Like all other scout and guide masters around the world, I have taken these 3 oaths on 14th of August, 1996, while obtained the Certificate of Basic Scout Master at the Tara Devi Camp, the hilly station near Shimla in Himachal Pardesh.

I received a Letter of Appreciation from District Education Officer as attached below.

The other letter is from my principal, Mr. I. B. Muirden where I studied 10 2 (Year 11 and 12) at Adelaide, South Australia. There was an Indian scout master.

Many of my readers and some friends think that I write bit roughly about western countries and in some cases about the Australia. It is totally false and wrong assumption. Why?

Reason: We know the people in the west never interfere with life of others, but some, a very few people have started to play tactics for changing public opinions in the west, and thus people in the advanced or the developed countries have started to give opinions, which they have never done in the human history before, and still avoid to do so when we discuss with them seeking any personal opinion.

It is dignity and standard of living in the civilized cultures, which need attention not just in the developed countries, but also in the developing countries. My point is not at all about any western country, but the ones, who create and thus influence the opinions. In my more than 24 months studies in Australia, I did not meet even a single person, who would ever give any opinion. What media says is not public opinion.

We the people in the east and west love one another, but the opinions promote business and marketing, and thus as I said it what I write or say has nothing to do with the nation or its public, but a very few people. I hope it clarifies my point.

Thanks for your reading it.

Mental Health Care and Treatments in the Developing Cou

Posted June 9, 2010 by Dr. Harmander Singh in Education, Health, Fitness, Mind, Making A Difference

Mental Health Care and Treatments in the Developing Countries – A Review

We have greater need for health care services in many parts of the world, particularly in the developing countries, where it is not well provided by the governments except in few cases. So, the private sector plays an important role in it. If there is less attention paid at the governmental hospitals and health care centers, the private sector is not only costly, but there is so much competition that one can go to any extreme to win the gold medal as the best service provider. We discuss this great health concern in this review.

The worst that happens in such cases is that these doctors usually join a penal that has higher authority than normal team of doctors. If it happens to be team of doctors from around the world, it is not just a penal, but a kind of NGO extension that can surpass even the governments. To join such national and internal penal, one simply need to prove not the medical standards, but the social pathology, which one can claim even without being a expert of the field on which the penal works. For example, the dental doctor can qualify to give the sociological aspects blended with psychology in general. It can include almost all faculties of knowledge that can add to such medical works.

This very thing has been warned as not to over trust or rely on others. Also being over suspicious is avoidable. However, many people in mental cases, who are schizophrenic or religious usually, have suspicious nature and doubts. This very nature of suspicion and doubting is highly common among creative people, but in medical manipulations it can be proved as mental sickness.

The doctors, who want medal does ignore the fact that people, who has strong faith lack confidence and thus cannot hide their doubts, fears, and thus suspicious nature as they use it for curiosity and creative imagination for exploring the unknown, which is full of uncertainty and thus the fear of unknown remains present. It has great effect on the knowledge that gives confidence because without knowledge one cannot be confident.

Please read more at the forum. Thanks!
