Stress Test Pictures

Stress Pictures

These pictures are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.

The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress.

Alleged criminals see them spinning around madly while seniors and kids see them still.


Check your level of stress...

The Dancing Lady Illusion

This is an optical illusion, look at the dancer below. Which way is she spinning?

If you see her spinning clockwise, then you are left brain oriented i.e. you are a logical and analyzing person.

If you see her spinning counter-clockwise, then you are right brain oriented i.e. you are an artistic and intuitive person.

Not sure how I explain seeing both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. That’s happening to me, I’ll see her spinning clockwise for a moment and then after a few minutes see her spinning the other direction.

The Butterfly Story

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it had and it could go no further.

Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.

Lessons From The Eagle

The story of the eagle...

Interesting lessons that we can learn from the eagle.

The eagle has the longest life-span of its species

It can live up to 70 years.

But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision.

In its 40's

its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food

its long and sharp beak becomes bent

its old-aged and heavy wings,

due to their thick feathers,

become stuck to its chest and make it difficult to fly

Then, the eagle is left with only two options:

die OR

go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.

The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest

There the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks it out.

After plucking it out,

the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back

and then it will pluck out its talons

When its new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its old-aged feathers

And after five months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for ...
30 more years

Why is change needed?

Many times in order to survive we have to start a change process.

We sometimes need to get rid of old memories, habits and past traditions.

Only when we are freed from the past burdens, can we take advantage of the present.

Parable Of The Pencil

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."

"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.


Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.



Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

Nature's Imponderables

NATURE'S IMPONDERABLES

(Incapable of being weighed, measured or evaluated with precision)

Why does the earthworm always look clean
When you consider where it has been?

How does the butterfly with new-formed wings
Know how to fly with such cumbersome things?

Where does the spider keep all its thread?
Who put the web-pattern into its head?

How does the ant carry food twice its size
And store for the winter?
Who made it so wise?

Where do the flies go all winter long?

Who taught the birds to sing each little song?

Why do the frogs and toads start life as fishes
Then grow their arms and legs?
How curious this is!

How do the seeds planted into the ground
Know, when they grow, they're the right way around?

Unless I am given a better solution

I believe in creation and not evolution!
