The Sage and the Aeroplane


The wise old Sage, a master of the skies,
Flew in his plane with a twinkle in his eyes.
With a steady hand and a heart full of grace,
He soared above the clouds, a sight to embrace.



Through the winds and storms, he flew with ease,
Guided by the stars and the gentle breeze.
His wisdom and knowledge, as vast as the sea,
Helped him navigate the skies with such glee.



With the sun on his face and the wind in his hair,
He felt alive and free, without a care.
His journey was long, but his spirit was strong,
As he flew towards the horizon, where he belonged.



With a final salute and a smile on his face,
The wise old Sage landed in his home base.
His journey was over, but his tale would remain,
Of a wise old Sage, flying an aeroplane.

Joke of the Day: Flies

Bought a can of fly spray from the supermarket today.

Sprayed it all over myself, and I still can’t fly.

What if the fly on the wall told the elephant in the room about the skeleton in the cupboard…?

What do you call a fly with no wings?

Still a fly.

The irony is unfortunate, but the name doesn’t change.

I’ve just watched an interesting factual TV programme about a man who tries to hit insects with a rolled up newspaper…

It was a fly-on-the-wall documentary.

I’ve got a problem with insects in my house so I bought some flypapers,

Now I’ve got fifteen of them reading the sports section…

What do you call a retired fly?

A flew.

A man walked into a hardware store, picked up a can of fly spray, and asked the assistant, “Is this good for flies?”

“No, it kills them.”

I asked my daughter if she’d seen my newspaper.

She told me that newspapers are old school. She said that people use tablets nowadays and handed me her iPad.

That fly didn’t stand a chance.

Why did the fly fly?

Because the spider spied her!

I’ve just got back from fly fishing.

I caught a lovely bluebottle.

What do you call a dancing fly?

A jitterbug.

I just watched a fly crash into my window.

All it felt was pane.

Quote of the Day: Happy Life & Death

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian polymath, artist, and scientist. He is widely considered one of the most important figures in the history of art and science. He is best known for his paintings such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but his talents extended far beyond the realm of art. He was also a skilled inventor, engineer, and architect, as well as an accomplished musician, scientist, and mathematician.

In the field of art, Leonardo is considered one of the greatest painters of all time. He is known for his masterful use of technique and his ability to convey emotion and movement in his works. His painting of the Mona Lisa, for example, is known for its subtle expressions and the enigmatic smile of the woman in the painting.

In science and technology, he made important contributions in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydrodynamics. He was fascinated by the workings of the human body and made many detailed drawings of the bones, muscles, and organs. He also studied optics and was able to make observations and discoveries about the behavior of light that was far ahead of his time.

Da Vinci also made significant contributions in the field of engineering and architecture. He designed flying machines, weapons, and many other mechanical devices, but these designs were not built in his lifetime. He also designed many architectural projects, such as the dome of Milan Cathedral, and plans for canals, bridges, and even urban planning.

Da Vinci was also a prolific writer, and many of his notes and drawings have survived to the present day. These works, known as his “notebooks,” reveal his wide-ranging interests and his many ideas and inventions. They are considered an invaluable glimpse into the mind of one of the most brilliant and creative thinkers in human history.

The quote is suggesting that if one lives a good and fulfilling life, one will have no regrets or worries as one approaches death. Just as a day well spent leads to a peaceful night’s sleep, a life well spent leads to a peaceful death. The idea is that if you have lived a good life, you will have nothing to fear or be unhappy about when death comes.

The Sage and the Orchestra


With a wave of his hand, The Sage began
An orchestra at his command
Each note in harmony, each sound so grand
His wisdom and skill, truly a wonder to behold



With a nod of his head, the violins played
Their melodies, soft and sweet, never to fade
The cellos, so rich, the basses, so bold
The Sage led them all, his story to unfold



The flutes sang high, the horns sang low
The drums beat on, the music began to flow
The Sage, so wise, knew just when to slow
His symphony, a masterpiece, for all to know



The crowd was in awe, as the sage conducted
His wisdom and skill, never to be outdone
The music, so pure, the notes, so perfectly connected
The Sage, a true artist, his work, never to be rejected.

Thought of the Day: You are in a special club!

Out of every person to ever live only 7% are alive right now.

The exact percentage of people who are alive at any given time compared to the total number of people who have ever lived is difficult to determine, as it depends on a number of factors such as population growth rates and life expectancy. However, it’s estimated that the total number of people who have ever been born is around 108 billion, and the current global population is around 7.9 billion, so the percentage of people alive now compared to those who have ever lived would be around 7%.

It’s also important to note that the population has been growing exponentially in the last century and the world population reached 1 billion in 1804, 2 billion in 1927, 3 billion in 1960, 4 billion in 1974, 5 billion in 1987, 6 billion in 1999, and reached 7 billion in 2011. The world population reached 8 billion people on November 15, 2022, according to the United Nations. so the percentage of people who are alive today compared to those who have ever lived is likely to be even smaller.

It’s a rough estimate, but it’s true that the vast majority of people who have ever lived are no longer alive.

Advice of the Day: Kids getting along …

If your kids suddenly start getting along and are nice to each other for no reason, be very suspicious.

Sibling rivalry refers to the competitive relationship or feelings of jealousy and resentment that may occur between brothers and sisters. It is a common phenomenon and can manifest in various forms such as fighting, arguing, or competition for parental attention or resources. The intensity and duration of sibling rivalry can vary greatly from family to family and can be influenced by factors such as birth order, personality, and parenting style.

While sibling rivalry is a common and normal aspect of family life, it is not always present or intense. Some siblings may have a close and harmonious relationship without experiencing much rivalry. This is also a good thing and is something that parents should appreciate and encourage. However, if the lack of rivalry is due to one child being neglected or isolated, it could be a sign of a more serious problem that parents should address.

It is important for parents to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for their children and to encourage positive relationships between siblings. Parents should also be aware of the individual needs and personalities of each child and work to foster a sense of fairness and respect in their interactions with each other. Open communication and positive parenting techniques can help to reduce the negative effects of sibling rivalry and promote a healthy and harmonious relationship between siblings.

Quote of the Day: Life’s Knowledge

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.”

Robert Frost

Robert Frost was an American poet who lived from 1874 to 1963. He is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed poets in American literature. His work often dealt with rural life in New England, using clear and simple language to describe the natural world and the everyday lives of the people who lived there.

Frost is best known for his use of rural imagery and the spoken language in his poetry, and he is often associated with the New England School of poets, which includes such writers as Emily Dickinson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He is also known for his use of literary devices such as metaphor and symbolism, which helped to give his poetry a deeper and more complex meaning.

Frost received four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry, during his lifetime and was also awarded several other honors and awards. He also was the poet laureate of Vermont and the US and was appointed to this position on several occasions.

Frost’s poetry is widely taught in schools and universities, and his work continues to be popular with readers of all ages. His most famous poems include “The Road Not Taken,” “Mending Wall,” “The Death of the Hired Man,” “After Apple-Picking,” “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” and “Birches.”

This quote, attributed to Robert Frost, is a reflection on the nature of life and the human experience. It suggests that the speaker has learned that life is a continuous process that keeps moving forward, regardless of the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and successes and failures that one may encounter. It implies that no matter what happens, time keeps passing, and life goes on.

The quote can be interpreted as both a reminder of the impermanence and transience of life and a call to embrace change and not get bogged down by the past. It can also be seen as a message of resilience and determination, encouraging people to keep going despite the difficulties they may face.

The quote can also be seen as a reminder that one should not take life too seriously and enjoy the moment while it lasts, as it will ultimately come to an end. It is sometimes used as a reminder to focus on the present and live in the moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

Overall, the quote means that despite all the difficulties, heartbreaks, and disappointments one may face in life, it will always move forward and one must learn to adapt to it and keep going with it. So we move forward today!

An empty room is a room that does not have any furniture or occupants in it. It may also mean a room that has been cleared of all its contents or one that has never been furnished or used. Empty means containing nothing or lacking content. It can also mean feeling or showing a lack of emotion or interest. I hope this thought doesn’t leave you feeling empty!

Quote of the Day: The Majority

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Mark Twain

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, an American writer, humorist, and lecturer from Missouri. He is best known for his novels ‘Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ and ‘Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,’ which are considered classics of American literature. Twain’s writing is characterized by his wit, satire, and social commentary, and he is considered one of the greatest American authors. He was born in 1835 and died in 1910.

During his lifetime, Twain was also a riverboat pilot, a prospector during the California Gold Rush, a journalist, and a traveler. He had a keen sense of observation and wrote extensively about his experiences, which he often wove into his novels and short stories. His writing continues to be widely read and enjoyed today, and his work continues to be studied and celebrated in schools and universities around the world.

This quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, and it suggests that when you find yourself in agreement with the majority of people, it may be a good idea to take a step back and consider whether you should question your own beliefs. The quote implies that being in the majority does not necessarily mean that you are right and that it is important to critically evaluate your own beliefs and perspectives, even if they align with those of the majority.

It may also indicate that being with the majority may lead you to a conformist attitude, as the majority of people are following something it may not be worth following, taking a step back and analyzing the situation is important.

It also can point out that in history, the majority’s views may not always be right or morally justifiable, it’s important to think and reflect if we are on the right path.
