A genius mathematician who invented the "game theory" that is now used widely in the world of Economic trades. He had suffered from extreme paranoia in his early thirties while teaching at Princeton University.Later on was diagnosed as Schizophrenia and had been hospitalized twice for his illness. Not one healed him except his own self.He decided to one day just to think rationally and he had recovered on his own. It was believed that part of his recovery has something to do with the huge support of his wife Alicia.Their marriage was hard to imagine considering his mental illness but eventually things fell together.
He received a Nobel Peace Prize for his "game theory" after his full recovery was confirmed. Today, his contribution is being used in the business economy and the whole world benefit from what was once regarded as insanity. He had two sons both named John. The former a mathematician too who is also suffering from schizophrenia but his son is now well received and treated better than what they did to his father. His life is very inspiring.To be able to be beyond normal and to have an unstoppable mind must be both a curse and a blessing.But at the end of it all,he showed that we are all in control of our own minds and that is the only thing that only you can do and no one else.

“I was in technical school when it happened, and I was only three months from graduating. I was going to be an HVAC repairman. Then one day these two older kids asked me to come with them to Manhattan. They told me they were going to do something, and they needed a lookout. Honestly, it was just something to do. We didn’t talk about money or anything. We drove to the place and they told me to stand on the corner. There weren’t even cellphones in those days, so I don’t even know what I was supposed to be doing. The two guys went into a store, and after about five seconds I started hearing shots. They came running back out, and somebody was chasing them, shooting at them. So I ran straight home and I turned on the TV. And I saw the faces of the two guys I was with. It said they were wanted for double homicide. A couple days later, two detectives came and arrested me in front of my entire family. My mother was screaming. I didn’t think that I’d done anything wrong. The first time I met with my lawyer, she told me that she could get me life without parole, like that was a good thing. It didn’t feel real.
man (PRAYING): Dear God,how long is one second to you?
God: a million hours equaivalent to human time! Man: How much is a cent to you? God: a billion dollars! Man: can I have a cent? God: Just one second. - (shared by Uncle Barum ,an Israeli speaker) In a business party held at a gentleman's club in London,an Englishman notice a Japanese alone .The Englishman thought maybe the Japanese can't speak English so he approached the Japanese and introduced himself.
Then he said, " Today,since I can see that you are a visitor here,I'm going to teach you some basic English" .The Englishman took the spoon and fork and said, "on my left hand,this is "forkie" and on my right hand is called "spoonie.Then he pointed at the knife and said," that is a knifie" and the big round one is called "platie". The Japanese just nodded at him and smiled.Then everone's attention was called so they can introduce their keynote speaker for the evening.The Englishman was so surprised when he found out the Japanese is their keynote speaker for the evening. The Englishman man was so surprised when the Japanese started speaking in fluent English.After his speech,the Japanese approached the Englishman and said "hey,you like my speechie?!" A man was desperately in need of a job so he accepted the job at the circus.All he needed to do is to wear the gorilla suit,do some circus tricks and eat all the bananas that tourists will be feeding him.He tought it was easy so he accepted the offer.
While doing one of his tricks, a bunch of kids was impressed so they started feeding him.He ate everything until his stomach churned.He felt dizzy and fell on the LION's den.He was so scarred and ran as fast as he could asking for help when someone grab him by the foot and said,"wag ka maingay,baka pareho tayong mawalan ng trabaho".` (all stories shared by Kuya Marlon in one of his preachings ) A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.
Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well. One day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him. The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions: Have you any grounds? Yes, an acre and half and nice little home. No, I mean what is the foundation of this case? It made of concrete. I don't think you understand. Does either of you have a real grudge? No, we have carport, and not need one. I mean what are your relations like? All my relations still in Poland. Is there any infidelity in your marriage? We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player. Does your wife beat you up? No, I always up before her. Is your wife a nagger? No, she white. Why do you want this divorce? She going to kill me. What makes you think that? I got proof. What kind of proof? She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say: ~~~Polish Remover~~~ Once upon a time there was a Prince who, through no fault of his own was cast under a spell by an evil witch. The curse was that the Prince could speak only one word each year. However, he could save up the words so that if he did not speak for a whole year, then the following year he was allowed to speak two words. (This was before the time of letter writing or sign language.)
One day he met a beautiful princess (ruby lips, golden hair, sapphire eyes,) and fell madly in love. With the greatest difficulty he decided to refrain from speaking for two whole years so that he could look at her and say "my darling". But at the end of the two years he wished to tell her that he loved her. Because of this he waited three more years without speaking (bringing the total number of silent years to 5). But at the end of these five years he realized that he had to ask her to marry him. So he waited ANOTHER four years without speaking. Finally as the ninth year of silence ended, his joy knew no bounds. Leading the lovely princess to the most secluded and romantic place in that beautiful royal garden, the prince heaped a hundred red roses on her lap, knelt before her, and taking her hand in his, said huskily, "My darling, I love you! Will you marry me?" And the princess tucked a strand of golden hair behind a dainty ear, opened her sapphire eyes in wonder, and parting her ruby lips, said: . . . . . . scroll down............. . Well, guess what she said .......... . . .......come on, guess what could she have . . . said.... . . ......well, she said....... . . . . "Pardon?" (shared by Rogen 12.26.13) stahscre4m:
there are guys in my dorm who decided to play cards in the elevator see what intrigues me about college isn’t the intellectual pursuit or the bonding or whatever, its the fact that people have the freedom to do random shit like this Okay, everybody, I have a story about random shit in college. When I was in college, there was a particular class I took where, no matter what time you walked into class, if you made it into the room before the professor, you wouldn’t be counted late. I mean, that’s a pretty cool policy, given how some professors are really obnoxious about attendance. Well, one time, a fellow student of mine was running late to class. As she reached the edge of the building, she saw her professor making it to the front steps (super long rectangular building here). He looks up from walking and he sees her. He then points to his watch, gives her a well-meaning “Look who’s late” face, and walks on inside. What he didn’t know, though, was that this particular student was like freakishly good at bouldering and related climbing skills, so she was just like “Fuck it” and SCALED THE BUILDING! She tapped on the window of the 4th floor classroom (the floors had like 20ft ceilings, so, she was quite a ways up there), nearly making one student piss himself. They opened the window, she rolled through, onto the floor, and slid into her seat about five seconds before the professor opened the door to the classroom. He did a double take, started to say “How the hell d—” when a security guard ran in, red-faced and panting, pointed at her and bellowed “STOP DOING THAT!” “Once there was a young warrior. Her teacher told her that she had to do battle with fear. She didn’t want to do that. It seemed too aggressive; it was scary; it seemed unfriendly. But the teacher said she had to do it and gave her the instructions for the battle. The day arrived. The student warrior stood on one side, and fear stood on the other. The warrior was feeling very small, and fear was looking big and wrathful. They both had their weapons. The young warrior roused herself and went toward fear, prostrated three times, and asked, “May I have permission to go into battle with you?” Fear said, “Thank you for showing me so much respect that you ask permission.” Then the young warrior said, “How can I defeat you?” Fear replied, “My weapons are that I talk fast, and I get very close to your face. Then you get completely unnerved, and you do whatever I say. If you don’t do what I tell you, I have no power. You can listen to me, and you can have respect for me. You can even be convinced by me. But if you don’t do what I say, I have no power.” In that way, the student warrior learned how to defeat fear.”
