Bertha Benz | The First Car and The First Trip | Harison Xavier

-

 Bertha Benz.


August 5, 1888: Weisslock, a small village in Baden, Germany, is approaching noon. Their children were playing nearby. Then they saw a sight. A woman in a black gown was riding in a horse-drawn carriage with her two children.

But what surprised them was something else. There were no horses in front of the chariot. At that time a woman sent her child to the next priest as soon as they heard about the sorcerers who were kidnapping children. The church bell rang and the priest gathered the people. They were ready to face the witch.
But suddenly the car stopped. The woman got out of the car. They checked the vehicle.Then they walked towards the nearest hospital. They did not see anyone there and they went to the next bar. They asked for 10 liters of ligroin . Ligroin was a petroleum product. It was used to remove stains from clothes. They poured ligroin and started their journey.

This was the first road trip in history. Wife of Benz, a fan of motor vehicles. They were Bertha Benz and their sons Richard and Owen.

Forgive me O Lord I am ashamed in me Be with me Me let glee.  Let me win Let me grin Let me shine I am at the finish line.

The Three Envelopes

  The following is a story I heard when I was at primary school, our principal said this story during our weekly assembly, don't know why but I still remember it. Reading the daily news and watching people closely, I see that this story is repeating and it is still relevant.  The Three Envelopes      Mark, the C.E.O of a multinational company is sitting at his chair in his luxurious office. Today is his last day at the office. He is waiting for the new C.E.O Steve to arrive at his office and have a one-last conversation. The new C.E.O arrived and they shook hands, chatted a bit and Mark said, "I have a gift for you, Steve. I want you to have this it helped me during difficult times here. Open each envelope when you have a major crisis."       Mark handed over a box that contained three sealed envelopes. Mark said, "This was given to me by the C.E.O. before me." Saying this Mark waved goodbye and walked out the door.       ...

Time  Yeah.....here we are. Five years...... "The Following Are Just Random Thoughts In My Head" It started as a hobby and still is. When I started I never knew where this is going to lead. Thank you for all the time I got to write, I am happy I did what I can. One thought in my mind, " So much lonely time". Most of of these post take more than two hours to write as I need to think and then I will need to keep the draft to think again wondering if I need to post it or just delete it, I debate with myself and then I got a friend who often proof reads every single line and correct my mistake  (she works for free and I have not paid her anything.
