"When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long." *$* "Nobody really cares if you are miserable, so you might as well be happy." *$* "Perfection is finally attained, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away." *$* "How often misused words generate misleading thoughts. Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace." *$* "I know not any thing more pleasant, or more instructive, than 2 compare experience with expectation, or 2 register from time 2 time the difference between idea and reality. It is by this kind of observation that we grow daily less liable 2 be disappointed." *$* "I would not anticipate the relish of any happiness, nor feel the weight of any misery, before it actually arrives." *$* "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!" *$* "People deal too much with the negative,with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?" *$* "Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you've become a comfortable, trusted person in another person's life." *$* "Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times." "Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy." *$* "I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people who are convinced they are about to change the world. I am more awed by those who struggle to make one small difference after another." *$* "A strong man sticks up for himself, a stronger man sticks up for others." *$* "Don’t let weakness convince you that you leak strength." *$* "Letting go doesn't mean giving up, it means accepting that somethings just weren't meant to be!" * $ * "Every man is not an end but a beginning. Today I rise above and step up." * $ * "Do you define the moment, or does the moment define you? * $ * "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." * $ * "I don't wish for it, I work for it!"...............

World Trade Center - A complex of several buildings around a central plaza in New York City that in 2001 was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. The complex—located at the southwestern tip of Manhattan, near the shore of the Hudson River and a few blocks northwest of Wall Street—was built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a central facility for businesses and government agencies involved in international trade. Until the 2001 attack, it was notable for its huge twin towers, each of which had 110 stories. The roof of One World Trade Center reached to 1,368 feet (417 meters), and Two World Trade Center was 1,362 feet (415 meters) tall. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki and officially opened in 1972, the towers were the world's tallest buildings until surpassed in 1973 by the Sears Tower in Chicago.Each of the twin towers had 97 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre (0.4 hectare) of rentable space per floor. An observation deck was situated on the 107th floor of the south tower (Two World Trade Center), and a television-broadcasting mast 360 feet (110 meters) high was attached to the north tower (One World Trade Center).Prior to 2001 the complex had sustained a major terrorist attack. On February 26, 1993, a large bomb planted by terrorists exploded in the underground garage of Two World Trade Center, damaging the base of the building (subsequently repaired), killing 6 people, and injuring some 1,000. The attack that occurred on September 11, 2001, was much more destructive. Hijackers deliberately flew two commercial airliners into the towers, the first striking the north tower at 8:46 AM (local time) and the second hitting the south tower at 9:03. Badly damaged and engulfed in flames, the weakened south tower collapsed at 9:59; the north tower fell about a half hour later. Debris from the towers also destroyed or damaged other buildings in and around the complex. Some 2,800 people were killed.
What has happened cannot really be described in mere words, you have to see the face of the teller to really understand what a tragedy for the USA, and the Free World, this has been. Apart from Pearl Harbor this is the first time there has been a significant attack on the USA in recent times. It is the first time such a severe attack has taken place on the main land.It is well known that it was the attack on Pearl Harbor that spurred on the American people to join Britain, in what became the Second World War. Whilst It must not be forgotten what a disaster both events were, we must remember that Great Britain suffered such attacks every night of every week, during the first few years of World War II. A thousand nights of bombing, where whole city centers were flattened, but the British did not surrender. Such a resolve must be shown now, throughout the Globe, in brining the evil perpetrators of this act to pay for what they have done.Every citizen of the World must learn to be nothing but non-judgmental; totally objective in its way of thought. Then maybe we can, in this New Millennium, all live in peace and talk about our differences and agree that there are differences, and that it is everyone's right to be different.
