Skyhawk. Most scarious jet fighter in war world produced by United States Army. It is mainly designed as a bomber jet which had already destroyed a lot country. However the impressive design of the jet fighter completed with sophisticated technology impressed me a lot.
There are a few similarities that can be compared. Firstly, both of the products has single cockpit which can only carried single passenger. Secondly, both jet fighters are powered by powerful single turbojet at the back . Then, both jet fighters were equipped with the uprated J52-P-408 engine similar to the configuration used by the Blue Angels. Other than that, both wing structure are light in weight.
The differences between Douglas XA 4D Skyhawk and A4 SU Super Skyhawk are Douglas XA 4D Skyhawk was designed with low mounted delta wing carries across the entire aircraft. The choice of a delta wing, that is so compact that it did not need to be folded for carrier stowage. The A4 SU Super Skyhawk was completed with folded wings. The absence of a wing folding mechanism reduced weight. Then, the tail of the Dougles XA 4D Skyhawk is of cruciform designation tail while the A4 SU Super Skyhawk tail was designed in T tail. Other than that, XA 4D is equipped with Colt Mk 12 cannon while the A4 SU is equipped with Colt Mk 12 cannon.

Mayonnaise and the Coffee
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the coffee...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things, your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
As a student, the biggest challenge I have to face is how to balance my time with my family, friends, and study. Since time is precious, keeping a balance between the worlds is often a challenge. However, with proper planning, balancing study, friends and family is a challenge that can be overcome. More importantly, support from family and friends has to be here. Hopefully we’ll be rewarding enjoyable life as well!^_^

True Friendship Poem….
Each second,
You’ve been there for me
And have put a smile on my face
You’re so special believe it or not.
I know you are easily hurt,
I’d try my best not to hurt you,
I’d do anything for your happiness
And just to see you smile.
No matter where life's path takes us
If you just look back
I'll be right there for youI pray for your happiness
I pray for your happiness
But I want you to know that in everything you do
To see your dreams come true
After all we've been through- we're still here
And I'm glad to have a friend like you
I don't ever want to lose you.
And I’m sorry if I’ve ever hurt you
You know that wasn’t I wanted to do
So, please smile and don’t forget
That in this big wide world there’s a little person
Who loves and cares so much about you.

Story : Dying for a Friend
This is a story of two great friends who lived long ago in Syracuse, by name Phintias and Damon. One day Phintias was sentenced to death as he had been heard speaking against the king, but he managed to obtain permission to go to a neighbouring city to pay the last visit to his family provided that Damon, his bosom friend would remain in his custody. Damon gladly agreed and remained in prison while Phintias set off to his family. Finally, when the day of execution arrived, the amphitheatre was full of people. But Phintias had not returned from the city. Damon calmly mounted the gallows, extremely happy to offer his life for the sake of his friend. Suddenly Phintias came back but Damon would not agree to come down from the gallows. Everyone was greatly moved and so was the king. The people started to request for a pardon. The king gladly granted Phintias pardon and set him free. This is what true friendship is.
Wow.. great job Damon! I agree, Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.
However, for me, I will think twice before offering my life for the sake of my friend. Lililili…. Sorry guys, because I haven’t married yet! Don't wanna die too early...:P
