TRUE STORIES: The Merry-Go-Round

It's the oldest amusement ride around and was originally created during the Middle Ages as a device for training knights to joust.

It took tragedy to popularize: When Catherine de Medicis' husband was killed during a jousting tournament in 1559, the merry-go-round began to take the place of actual knight-against-knight jousting as a safer alternative. Knights on the backs of wooden horses could spear rings or effigies of Turkish soldiers as they circled around and around. Jousting as a combat port soon fell away entirely and the carousel's popularity grew when spectators also wanted a turn on the painted ponies.

As homage to this early ride, some merry-go round operators in Paris will still hang rings and offer riders a stick as they mount their rides to "joust" with, carrying on a centuries-old tridition.  NOW YOU KNOW...

   Always keep in mind to:
  1. Spend less than you earn! People who spend every penny they make usually end up going broke.......
  2. Take enough risk on the money you save! Playing safe by putting your money under the mattress or in a savings account will not make you wealthy..

Remember that..... Fully one-fifth of humanity, some 1.3 billion people, struggles to survive on less than $1 per day. About 40% of humanity survives on less than $2 per day. More than a billion people around the world will go to bed hungry tonight. Life expectancy in some 32 countries is less than 40 years. If you have a few extra dollars in your pocket (you don't have to be a millionaire to make a difference), please share some of your financial good fortune with others who are in great need.


Think About It...  Being in the 'now' brings a freedom, unlike living in the past or in the future, which is a kind of imprisonment. This isn't a kind of a denial where you pretend life doesn't have problems. Life is full of problems, but most of those stresses and failures are reliving old hurts or worrying about future concerns. -- Carl Honore

When you 're diagnosed with cancer, you start to bargain with God: "Let me get through this, and I'll take better care of myself. I'll get my priorities in order. I'll learn to live every day to the fullest." Isn't it sad that you have to get sick before giving yourself permission to live life to the fullest? -- Robert Schimmel Look at Life in different & Positive ways
