A Good Lesson

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside...

"See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful"

This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son. This guy seems to be a krack... newly married Anup whispered to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy, see dad, how beautiful the rain is ..."

Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.

Anup," cant you see its raining, you old man, if your son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum. and don't disturb public henceforth".

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning , he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision by a very kind person who wished to donate his eyes after his death. These rain and nature are new to my son's eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused..."

Moral :

The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.

Always love people and use things, never love things and use people.

Positive Thinking - I Believe

I believe- That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe- That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time!

I believe- That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe- That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe- That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe- That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe- That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe- That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other, And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe - That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe- That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

The Sculptor's Attitude

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight.

I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or...I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or...I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or...I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or...I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or...I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or ...I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or...I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or...eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or...I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.

And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me.

I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Our Inner Voice

Trials one another
lead us directions
that we need learning
to make some corrections.
Time after time
and day after day
trials come bestowing
another which way.

They're one another
of which they each show
lessons through trials
of which way to go,
but if we don't listen
to our inner voice
we will again then
make a bad choice.

Of course we will error
sometimes and agin,
but it's those errors
that'll help you to win.

And more a diamond is cut, the more it sparkles.

Look For The Essence

An instance is many
and also so few
when many instances
come and accrue.

Maybe the instances
might in a way
simulate beginnings
in different array.

For in an instance
the time might bestow
lesser of minutes
that ones truly know.

Yet in an instance
ones also could see
lessons concluding
to you and to me.

An instance for many
might not be so true
for they might not know
what they are to do.

So if an instance
is displaying some signs
look for the essence
to make better times.

Very Beautiful Thought

Never Cry For Any Relation In Life

Because For The One Whom You Cry

Does Not Deserve Your Tears

And The One Who Deserves

Will Never Let You Cry.................

Treat Everyone With Politeness

Even Those Who Are Rude To You,

Not Because They Are Not Nice

But Because You Are Nice..............

Never Search Your Happiness

In Others

Which Will Make You

Feel Alone,

Rather Search It In Yourself

You Will Feel Happy

Even If You Are Left Alone...........

Always Have

A Positive Attitude In Life.

There Is Something Positive

In Every Person.

Even A Stopped Watch Is Right

Twice A Day..........................

Happiness Always Looks Small

When We Hold It In Our Hands.

But When We Learn To

Share It,

We Realize How Big And Precious It Is!...

Focus On Self

Some of us waste our time waiting for people
to live to our expectations.

We are so concerned about what others are doing
that we don’t do anything ourselves.

Its not so important what others are upto;
compared to what you are doing.

Focus on what you do, your work; Not on others.
