Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

Old Emails

Been checking through my PC, looking at old emails I saved from hotmail in 2001, yeah, long time back. I should have some more before 2001, most probably stored in some floppy disks. Will need to search for it.

Back then the storage space was so small, you cant keep much emails, so I always saved them. Some of it were quite funny, and there were some friends whom I used to email a lot!

Now clearing my current inbox also. Since the storage space had increased, I hardly saved anything, just stashed them in a "Replied" folder. Thought it would be better to save them in my own PC... good memories :)
