Good Morning Friends...

Throughout life comes good, comes bad
Things make us happy and make us sad
People give out love, but also hate
Those that share love are closest mates

At times in life we feel unappreciated
And that all people are filled with hatred
We could hold grudges but what are they worth
Feelings of bitterness whilst we live on this earth

Forgive and forget the mistakes people make
We have all fallen guilty to giving less then we take
Share love, laughter and positive feelings
And you'll begin to see that life is worth living!

Albert Einstein Quotes

“When you sit with a nice girl for two hours,
it seems like two minutes.
When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes,
it seems like two hours.
That’s relativity.”

“If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.”

“Gravity cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.”

“Education is that which remains when one has forgotten everything learned in school.”

“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not sure about the former.”

“If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German,
and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world.

Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.”

The Good Attitude

Patience is not the ability to wait,

but the ability to keep a good attitude while you wait.

The Thoughts of the Mahatma Gandhi

Answers for our Times :

- The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. 

- God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless. 

- When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, 

my soul expands in the worship of the creator. 

- Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. 

- If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children. 

- I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself,

I won't presume to probe into the faults of others. 

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed. 

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings. 

- It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business. 

- In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. 

- There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. 

- To give service to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer. 

- You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; 

if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, 

the ocean does not become dirty. 

- You must be the change you wish to see in the world. 

Success Of A Farmer

There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning corn in his farm. Each year, he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honours and prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew his corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering corn in the competition with yours each year?" The reporter asked. "Why brother?" 

The farmer replied, "Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen grains from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours to grow good corns too." 

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbours' corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions and areas of life! 

Those who choose to be in harmony must help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others live well too. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches...

Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often a participatory and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas and new knowledge with your family, friends, team members and neighbours and all.

In A Friendship

In a friendship,
We're free to expose,
Parts of ourselves,
Nobody else knows.

But the thing that sustains it
And sets it apart,
Is not something spoken,
It's a bond of the heart.

True friends are rare,
In a lifetime two or three,
I'm so glad it happened,
Between you and me!

Beautiful Friends

Friends who have love in their hearts
They give you hope when you are sad
Their concern lets you know
The words they say make you glad

Friends who share positive thoughts
Who take the time to be sure you're all right
Wonderful friends who really care
You know they care to your delight

Loving Friends

Friends who are fun to be around
They take the clouds out of the sky
It makes you feel like the sun is shinning
Your time is brighter and you sigh

These words are for you dear friends
To let you know I am here for you
To share, give you hope, and show my love for all
In times when your skies are not blue

- Joyce Ann Geyer
