Advocacy
College Student Group asked a lawyer
*Sir, what does 'advocacy' mean?"*
Lawyer said:
*I will present an example for this!* 👇
*Suppose two people come to me, one is very clean and the other is very dirty. I advise both of them to get clean and take bath.*
*Now you guys tell me, who among them will take a shower ?? "*
One student said: *"The one who is dirty will take a shower."*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the clean person will do it, because he has the habit of bathing, while the dirty does not know the importance of cleaning*
*Lawyer :: Now tell who will take a shower ?? "*
The second student said: *Clean person*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the dirty person will take a bath because he is the one who needs cleaning.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? "*
Two students said: *"The one who is dirty will take a shower."*
The lawyer said:
*"No, but both will take a bath because the clean person has a habit of bathing, while the dirty one needs a bath.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? "*
Now three students speak together: *"Both of them will take a shower."*
The lawyer said:
*"Wrong, no one will take a bath, because dirty is not used to bathing, whereas clean one does not need to bathe*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? "*
A student politely said:
*🙏🏻"Sir, you give a different answer every time and every answer seems to be correct. How do we know the correct answer ???"*
Lawyer said:
*This is just 'advocacy'! It is not important what the reality is*
*The important thing is, how many possible arguments can you offer to prove your point.* "
Your DUCK IS DEAD
A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet..
"How can you be so sure?" she protested.. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$1,500!" she cried,"$1,500 just to tell me my duck is dead!"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $1,500."
You know the drill .....if you're smiling, you must pass it on, give someone else a smile too! Share the laughter.
Group
_{This is an article that is worth spending a bit of your time reading and understand the deep meaning of it.}_
🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥
In a small township, a man, who regularly attended family meetings, suddenly without any notice, stopped participating.
After a few weeks, on one very cold night, the chairman of the group decided to visit him.
He found the man at home, alone, sitting in front of a fireplace where a bright fire burned.
The man welcomed the chairman. There was a great and calm silence. The two men only watched the dancing flames around the logs that crackled in the fireplace.
After a few minutes the chairman, without saying a word, examined the logs that formed the fire and selected one of them, glowing most brightly of all, and removed it to the side with a pair of tongs. Then he sat down again.
The man was paying attention to what the chairman did, feeling fascinated.
Before long, the lone flame subsided, until there was only a momentary glow, and soon the fire went out. In a short time, what was previously a bright light with heat, had become nothing more than a black dead piece of wood.
Very few words had been spoken by both the man and the chairman since the greeting.
Before preparing to leave, the chairman picked up a useless piece of wood with the tongs and placed it in the middle of the fire. Immediately, the wood was rekindled, fuelled by the light and heat of the burning coals around him.
When the chairman reached the door to leave, the man said, _"Thank you for your visit and for your beautiful lesson. I'll return to the group soon."_
MORAL Of The Story:
Why is a group important in our lives?
It is because each member of the group takes the fire and heat from the rest.
It is worth reminding group members that each of them is a part of the flame.
It is also good to remind us that we are all responsible for keeping each other's flame burning.
And we must promote the union among us so that the fire is really strong, effective and lasting. So, keep the fire burning.
THE GROUP IS ALSO LIKE A FAMILY.
It does not matter if sometimes we are bothered by so many messages, quarrels, arguments and misunderstandings. What matters is to be connected with one another. We are here to meet, learn, exchange ideas or simply to know that we are not alone.
Hence, let us keep the flame alive.
Life is beautiful with friends and family.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR GROUP FIRE.
*Let us keep it burning to ensure that the OUR ties are always connected.
Worth reading and be mindful :
A donkey was tied to a tree. One night a ghost cut the rope and released the donkey free.
The donkey went and destroyed the crops in an adjacent farmer's land. Infuriated, the farmer's wife shot the donkey and killed it.
The donkey's owner was devastated at the loss. In reply, he shot dead the farmer's wife.
Angered by his wife's death, the farmer took a sickle and killed the donkey's owner.
The wife of the donkey's owner got so angry that she and her sons set the farmer's house on fire.
The farmer, looking at his house turned into ashes, killed the wife and children of the donkey's owner.
Finally, when the farmer was full of regret, he asked the ghost as to why did it kill them all?
The ghost replied, "I killed nobody. I just released a donkey that was tied to a rope. It is all of you who released the devils within you which resulted into everything bad that occurred thereafter."
Today's media is like that ghost. It keeps releasing donkeys on a daily basis. And people react and argue with each other, hurt each other, without having a second thought.
In the end, the media dodges all responsibilities. So, it's our responsibility to not react on every donkey released by the media and preserve our relationship with our friends, relatives and community esp in the household of faith.
