fifty things that only ever happen in the movies.

http://www.idigitdesign.com/blog/2006/10/29/50-things-that-only-ever-happen-in-the-movies/

my personal favorites:

--You're very likely to survive any battle in any war, unless you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home. Then you're in trouble.

--The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris.

--All beds have special L-shaped sheets which reach to armpit level on women but only up to the waist of th man lying beside her.

--When paying for a taxi, you don't need to look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

--If our hero gets into a fight, he will invariably end up with a small cut in the right corner of his mouth. He'll make sure he wipes the blood on the back of his hand, and give it a disapproving look.

--Every single sporting even it won by the underdogs with a last second winner.

--Don't panic if you're heavily outnumbered in a martial arts fight. Your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until it's their turn to fight.

maria zapata.

"Let a smile infect you.
Let a job well done enthuse you.
Let an act of solidarity inspire you.
Let abuse infuriate you.
Let injustice move you to action.
Then the next step will be even easier.
Change consists, quite simply, of no longer being indifferent."

--Maria Zapata


"The most important contribution every one of us can make to our society is not solving a specific problem, but increasing the number of people that become promoters of change. As if they were the white blood cells of society, these people will stop with they see something wrong, or where they spot an opportunity. Multiplying society's capacity to adapt and change in an intelligent and constructive way is the best chance we have to solve the world's most demanding problems. Social entrepreneurs are fundamental in catalyzing and managing this transformation."

--Maria Zapata
