An Interesting story!


Hi there gang. Got this over the e-mail today and i know some of you might have read it before but i think it is worthy of sharing to those who have not heard the story before. i really believe insya'allah that it is part of god's greater plan.

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day,
while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help
coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy,
screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad
from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse
surroundings An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced
himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer
replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to
the door of the family hovel.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my
own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt
grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time,
graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on
to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming,
the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was
stricken with pneumonia.
What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.

It's National Friendship Week. Send this to
everyone you consider A FRIEND.
Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.

May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May Allah fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

MORE POWER TO ALL OF YOU.

AFDLIN SHAUKI

PS. for those of you still interested.
64 days no smoke.
Alhamdulillah.

bang, dalam poster tu bang pegang curut yang berasap.....bang dah start smoking balik ke? atau lakonan semata2... saya nak kasi satu lagi cadangan.... apa kata abang jadi director filem malaysia pertama yang tidak masukkan scene merokok dalam filem atau apa2 rujukan kepada rokok... kalau nak lagi hebat..tiada scene atau rujukan kepada 5D's iaitu disco/dangdut/datuk/dadah/dedah but this is asking too much..nanti tak nampak real... but then.. majority of malaysian pun jarang jumpa kelima2 ni serentak...

afdlin, ni lari tajuk sket..bole tak ko buat citer pasal realiti kehidupan orang yang bekerja cth cam kisah doktor kat malaysia ni cemana. buat kasi dramatic sket, ala ala citer house+csi ker. Skrip tak mo macam citer polis malaysia kat tv tu eh sebab tak real. kalau nak citer polis, citer la susah senang polis ni dah la gaji kecik keje lak risiko tinggi, and kenapa diaorg ni ada yang sanggup makan rasuah.
Dah bosan la asyik tgk citer cinta mendayu dayu jer. takkan dok potray orang melayu ni cuma reti bercinta jer kot?tak de keje lain ker eh?

kalau citer pasal tokoh korporat pulak tak habis habis rebut projek. tak best langsung. i know u have lots of ideas...pk pk kan la...

It is an inspiring story. It's a shame that it's not true, but, like a good work of fiction, it still makes me smile. The Wikipedia has this to say about the fable; 'The popular story of Winston Churchill's father's paying for Fleming's education after Fleming's father saved young Winston from death is false. According to the biography, "Penicillin Man: Alexander Fleming and the Antibiotic Revolution" by Kevin Brown, Alexander Fleming is quoted as saying that this was "a wonderful fable". Nor did he save Winston Churchill himself during WWII. Churchill was saved by Lord Moran, using sulphonamides, since he had no experience with penicillin, when Churchill fell ill in Carthage in Tunisia in 1943. The Daily Telegraph and The Morning Post on 21 December 1943 wrote that he had been saved by penicillin. It is probable that, as sulphonamide was a German discovery, and there was a war with Germany, that the patriotic pride in the miracle cure of penicillin had something to do with this error in reporting.'

Thanks for an interesting blog anyway.

looking back..looking at the present and future..i think its ok to smoke..at least uve found sumtime which is not higly abusive and dampens ur whole life..smoking is alredi acceptable here..well of course abusing other substances are the same at sum parts of msia alredi.tapi kalau nk tgk effect i think its better if they smoke n not resort to glue and drugs

ogf course the it affects the pshychosocial n mental development of the smoker itself..plus not to mention all the health risks but but other substances will definitely deteriorate a person even faster..dun u agree

looking forward to sumolah.its nice to know dat more ideas r coming in to the film industry ..not jus the plain sappy percintaan terhalang :Pive watched all ur films n im looking forward to more of it..i hope ur efforts and ideas continue to bloom n flourish:)
