Take time to play -  its is the secret of youth
Take time to read- it is the fountain of wisdom
Take time to be friendly- it is the road to happiness
Take time to love and be loved - it is the privilege of God

Take time to laugh- it is the music of soul
Take time to serve - it is the only way to be Godly

The best companion in the world

The best companion in the world is your own heart beat.
it assures you that you will survive even when the whole world leaves you alone

Tom n Jerry

Close relationships are like Tom n Jerry
They tease each other
knock down each other
irritate each other
get fed up of each other
but cannot live without each other

The difference between Compromise and Ego

Compromise says-its better to change a little rather than lose someone forever
Ego says- its always better to leave the one who wants to change you

Choice is left for the individuals which one to follow

Rule to never lose hope

'O' for opportunity
is absent in yesterday
available once in tOday
and
thrice in tOmOrrOw

RULE TO BE HAPPY

Simple rule for a happy and peaceful life
"MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
MAXIMUM ADJUSTMENTS"

When you..

When you keep saying you are busy,
then you are never free.
When you keep saying you have no time
then you will never have time.
When you keep saying you will do tomorrow
then your tomorrow will never come.

I am courtesy

I am a little word with a big meaning
I help everyone
I unlock doors,open hearts,banish prejudice
I create friendship and goodwill
I inspire respect and admiration
I violate no law
I cost nothing
Many have praised me;none have condemned me
I am pleading to those high and low degree
I am useful every moment
I am courtesy

If You

If you choose to work,you will succeeded; if you donot,you will fail.
If you neglect your work,you will dislike it; if you do it well,you will enjoy it.
If you join the little groups,you will be satisfied; if you make friends widely,you will be interesting.
If you act without tact,you will be avoided; if you act like a human being you will be respected.
If you adopt a pose of boredom,you will be a bore; if you show vitality,you will be alive.

Right attitude

This is attitude

IF AN EGG IS BROKEN BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE..A LIFE ENDS.
IF AN EGG BREAKS FROM WITHIN...... LIFE BEGINS.
GREAT THINGS ALWAYS BEGIN FROM WITHIN

This is attitude

IT'S BETTER TO LOSE YOUR EGO TO THE ONE YOU LOVE.
THAN TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE ....... BECAUSE OF EGO

This is attitude

WHY WE HAVE SO MANY TEMPLES , IF GOD IS EVERYWHERE ?
A WISE MAN SAID : AIR IS EVERYWHERE, BUT WE STILL NEED A FAN  TO FEEL IT.

This is attitude

WHEN YOU TRUST SOMEONE TRUST HIM COMPLETELY WITHOUT
ANY DOUBT.AT THE END YOU WOULD GET ONE OF THE TWO :
EITHER A LESSON FOR YOUR LIFE OR A VERY GOOD PERSON

This is attitude  
SOLDIER : SIR WE ARE SURROUNDED FROM ALL SIDES BY ENEMIES,
MAJOR : EXCELLENT ! WE CAN ATTACK IN ANY DIRECTION.

This is attitude   THE WORST IN LIFE IS "ATTACHMENT" IT HURTS WHEN YOU LOSE IT. THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS "LONELINESS" .BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOU EVERYTHING AND, WHEN YOU LOSE IT, YOU GET EVERYTHING.

This is attitude  

"You never conquer a mountain. You stand on the summit a few moments; then the wind blows your footprints away."

This is attitude

“I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.”
This is attitude   “The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become.”


ATTITUDE DECIDES THE ALTITUDE IN YOUR LIFE...AND BEWARE..ITS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!

Difference between an optimist and a pessimist

Difference between an optimist and a pessimist
An optimist goes to window in the morning and says ,'God! its Good morning'
A pessimist goes to window in the morning and says ,'God,it is morning !'

they all exist very nicely in the same box!

We could learn a lot from crayons :
some are sharp;
 some are pretty;
some are dull;
some have weird names;
and all are different colors...
but they all exist very nicely in the same box.

EQUATION FOR EMOTION

When someone is doing or about to do something,
in a way we don't want it to be done,
and when we are not able to accept it, we become Angry.
But, when we are able to accept it, we remain Tolerant.

When someone has or is able to produce something,
which we don't have or not able to produce,
and when we are not able to accept it, we become Jealous.
But, if we are able to accept it, we get Inspired.

Just a thought of someone,
who is not physically present then,
and when are not able to accept it, we feel the pain of “Separation”.
But if we are able to accept it, we nourish the “Memories”.

So what is the Equation for Emotion?!
Something + Acceptance = Positive Emotion
Something + Non Acceptance = Negative Emotion

So, the Real cause of our Positive or Negative Emotion is….
….NOT 'Something' or 'Someone' …!
But, our Perspective … our Perception …. our Attitude….
….our  ‘Acceptance’ or ‘Non acceptance’ (of 'Something' or 'Someone'),
that makes the Difference!
It is not the World and People out there,
but our Response & Reactions to the situations & people,
that determines the State of Mind and Mood we slip into…!
Next time when you feel disturbed,
analysis the situation with the above equation in mind,
and be assured that you will be back to Normal,
if you can just replace ‘Resistance’ with ‘Acceptance!’
Be Blessed with the Power of Acceptance.

Kinds of people

A lot of people are

like wheelbrows-not good unless pushed
like boats-they need to be moved
like kites-without a string they fly away
like footballs-cannot tell which way they will bounce
like balloons-full of air and ready to blow up
like trailers- they have to be pulled
like neon lights-they keep going on and off

Other people are
like a watch-open face,pure gold,quietly busy and accomplishing what they are supposed to do and full of good works!

Five things to be observed with care

If your lips would keep from silps,
Five things observe with care;
To whom you speak;
of whom you speak;
How you speak;
When you speak
and
Where you speak

Create Confidence!

Create Confidence
For
Confidence promotes Love
Love fosters Peace
Peace nourishes Truth
Truth confers Happiness

Do it,Anyway!

People are unreasonable,illogical and self centred- Love them anyway

If you do good,people will accuse you of the selfish ulterior motives- Do good anyway

If you are successful you will earn enemies - Succeed anyway

The good you today will be forgotten tomorrow- Do good anyway

The biggest men with the biggest ideas can be brought down by the smallest men with the smallest minds- Think big anyway

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight- Build anyway

Give the world the best you have and you will be badly let down- Give the world the best anyway

Its not easy!

Its not easy
to apologise
to begin again
to admit error
to be unselfish
to face criticism
to be considerate
to endure success and prosperity
to keep on trying in difficulties
to profit by mistakes
to forgive and forget
to think and act manfully
to make the best of what is god given
to shoulder deserved blame
to subdue an ugly temper
to master a critical tongue

Those who do the above are real Human beings!

Before everything You have to do something!

Before you speak,listen
Before you write,think
Before you spend,earn
Before you invest,investigate
Before you criticise,wait
Before you pray,forgive
Before you quit,try
Before you retire,save
Before you die,give

What you are is What you see!

Two men walk together through the city of mirrors.One is smiling while the other is frowning.
After leaving the city boundaries,the man who is always smiling tells the one who is always frowning "What a beautiful city with so many smiling faces"
"What smiling faces?" the frowning man asks."All i saw were sad and frowning faces"
In the city of mirrors,what you are is what you see!

EVERY BODY,SOME BODY,NO BODY,and,ANY BODY

There was an important job to be done.
EVERY BODY was sure SOME BODY woud do it.
ANY BODY could have done it.
But NO BODY did it.
SOME BODY got angry about that because it was EVERY BODY'S job.
EVERY BODY thought ANY BODY could do it.
But NO BODY realized that EVERY BODY could do it.
It ended up that EVERY BODY blamed SOME BODY when NO BODY did what ANY BODY could have done!

Read and understand this as slowly as possible.You will understand a valuable lesson for life

Some Superlatives of Life-2

Best Ornament is Humility
Richest Wealth is Knowledge
Strongest Weapon is Patience
Best Security is Faith
Best Tonic is Laughter

The man with a smile

I like the man with a great big smile;
He looks so jolly all the while.
When things go wrong he never gets blue;
He laughs and says: "On,we'll come through".
And if this world turns upside down;
He'd sit on the top without a frown.

He's richer far than a millionare;
He gives his riches everywhere.
The man and boys all think he's great;
The children love him,he's their mate.
When they parade he swings his hat,
How would you like to be like that?
