The Letter “Z” Will Be Removed from the English Alphabet
Surprising as it sounds, it looks like the English alphabet will be losing one of its letters on June 1st. The announcement came from the English Language Central Commission (ELCC).
Here is a quote from the press release:
After carefully considering and debating the matter for over two years, the ELCC came to the conclusion that the letter “Z” should be removed from the English alphabet. The main objective of this change is to simplify the phonetic aspect of the language, and to unify the American and British spellings.
What will happen to the words that have the letter “z” in them? It depends on the word. According to the
ELCC, words that started with a “z” will now start with an “x”. Examples include:
* zero becomes xero
* zoo becomes xoo
* zone becomes xone
* zodiac becomes xodiac
Words that featured a “z” with the “s” sound, on the other hand, will now be officially written with the “s” (i.e., unifying the American and British spelling). Examples include:
* visualize becomes visualise
* analyze becomes analyse
* materialize becomes materialise

Attitude Matters
It's not your talent or the gift at birth,
It's not your bankbook that determines worth,
It's not the colour or the texture of your skin,
It's your attitude that lets you win.
Have a SWEET Day!!

Why we are forwarding mails??
Life is the first gift,
Love is the second
Understanding is the third
Sometimes, we think of why friends keep forwarding mails to us without writing a single word..
Maybe this could explain why..
When you have nothing to say, still want to keep contact guess what you do, you forward mails.
When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, guess what you do, you forward mails
When you have a lot to say, and don't know why, guess what you do, you forward mails. When you are still wanted,
when you are still remembered, when you are still important, when you are still loved, when you are still missed, guess what you get... A Forwarded Mail!
So dear friends and family...next time if I forward you a mail don't think I have only sent you a mail but I've remembered you in my heart So why you are waiting friend? Forward this email to every one you know. And also to your friend who has sent you this forwarded message.

Maturity
What is maturity ? Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction. Maturity is patience.
It is the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain.
Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging set-backs. Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse.
Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, "I was wrong." And, when right, the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so."
Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing.
Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are the confused and the disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business, and good intentions that somehow never materialize.
Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which should be changed -- and the wisdom to know the difference.
"Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart."
