PHONE ABUSE

One of the hardest tasks in this 21st century is for the youth to spend 30 minutes without touching their phones!

1.       Almost everyone is now a phone addict.

2.       It's the last thing you touch before you sleep at night.

3.       It's the first thing you touch when you wake up at dawn.

4.       Some even put on earpiece overnight.

5.       Some still wake up at night to download films, but they can't wake up for prayers.

6.       Some are always online chatting.

7.       As early as 6am they are online, and they remain online till midnight.

8.   They have thousands of online friends with whom they chat, but they don't relate with their families at home.

9.       They isolate themselves in their rooms. 

10.   Some argue till midnight about unnecessary issues in their various online groups, yet they have a lot of things they need from God. We go to bed late, and have no time for God. We sleep and snore! 

11.  Immediately after prayers, you see people pressing their phones again, no time to share the grace! As if all our past sins have already been forgiven!

12.  When accidents happen, instead of saving lives, you see people taking pictures of the victims with their phones.

13.   When a house is on fire, instead of quenching it, you see people taking pictures so as to be the first to upload it on social network.

14.  When a person loses a loved one😭, instead of thinking about the funeral issues, the first thing the person does is to upload the news on social network. Perhaps for comments!

15.   We are so addicted to phones! We even chat when we are on motorcycles.

16.    Some still chat in the exam halls.

17.    Some play games with their phones when they come to God.

18.  Along the road, some keep pressing their phones, until perhaps they narrowly dodge an accident, or until a banana peel slips them.

19.    Even when we have guests, we still concentrate on our phones than our guest.

20. Some ignore their spouses because they are chatting with "mere friends" on Facebook or Whatsapp!

21.   Many are those whose phones have made them "hypocrites" and "liars".

22.    Many are those whose phones are leading them to hellfire!

23.  Because of your phone, you are the last person to come to God, and you are always the first person to leave!

24.  God said, 'Closer and closer to mankind comes their judgement, yet they don't take heed, and they turn away'.

A wise man once said, whoever does not spend his time for the sake of God, what is better for him is DEATH!

May God forgive us our numerous sins. Please educate others. May God reward your efforts. Amen.

MOSQUE has 6 letters so does CHURCH.

QUR'AN has 5 letters so does BIBLE.

LIFE has 4 letters so does DEAD.

HATE has 4 letters so does LOVE.

ENEMIES has 7 letters so does FRIENDS.

LYING has 5 letters so does TRUTH.

HURT has 4 letters so does HEAL.

FAILURE has 7 letters so does SUCCESS.

BELOW has 5 letters so does ABOVE.

ANGER has 5 letters so does HAPPY.

RIGHT has 5 letters so does WRONG.

RICH has 4 letters so does POOR.

FAIL has 4 letters so does PASS

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

During a robbery in Hong Kong, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the Government. Your life belongs to you." Everyone in the bank lay down quietly.

This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got." The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide” Converting an unfavourable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month." 

This is called "Changing priority” Personal Happiness is more important than your job”.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"
