Give it away! .......
'What is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others?'

Life's journeys directions
"My dear son. I've seen so many things. Things I hope you will never see... but I've also seen beauty.. love... bravery... miracles. These I hope for you to see. Life is difficult but there is not a difficulty that can't be overcome. Enjoy the moment, learn from the past and focus on the future. Pray every day. Be open to all kinds of music, for music will enrich your spirit and uplift your soul. Follow your instinct but listen to others... Recycle. Volunteer. Remember that all people deserve your respect no matter their color, social status, religion, culture or personal beliefs. But, stay away from extremism. Watch good movies. Be a loyal friend, and be a good brother. Always be grateful for what you have. And know that you never give too much. If you're lost ask for direction. Learn how to forgive. Treat women with respect. Please don't smoke. Do not take your car if you drink. Read as much as you can. Widen your horizons. Love unconditionally...
There's still so much want to tell you but right now you're happily showing me your little bootie so I can wipe it.
So, my 16 year-old son. Go. And embrace your journey."

10 stories that could be pranks - but aren't!

1. A Japanese inventor has devised solar-powered clothes which can top up the battery on an iPod or mobile phone.
2. The Home Office is being asked to pardon Anne Boleyn, 500 years after she was executed, because she was "obviously innocent".

5. Joss Stone has earned £5m, shooting her into the top 20 of a rich list of young entertainers. Will Young is worth £8m.
