Define Yourself, Definition of Your Life !!!

1. Follow Your Curiosity : “I have no special talent. I am only ... passionately curious.” 2. Perseverance is Priceless : “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” 3. Focus on the Present : “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.” 4. The Imagination is Powerful : “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.” 5. Make Mistakes : “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” 6.

 It is more important to live longer than to have more wealth.  • Strive to have a strong and healthy body.  • In a ‘high end’ hand phone, 70% of the functions are useless.  • In an expensive car, 70% of the speed is not needed.  • In a luxurious villa, 70% of the space remains un-occupied or un-utilized.  • In a whole wardrobe of clothes, 70% of them are seldom worn.  • Out of whole life’s earnings, 70% stays behind for other people to use.  • 70% of talent is not utilized   So, How to make full use of our 30%.?  • Go for medical checkup even when you feel fit.  • Drink more water even if you’re not thirsty.  • ‘Let go’ your ego, whenever you can.  • ‘Give in’ even if you are ‘right’.  • Be humble even if you are very powerful.  • Be contented even if you are not rich.  Have a very good Life !!!

Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighte r rain. Just pray for a better umbrella. That is attitude.   When flood comes, fish eat ants & when flood recedes, ants eat fish.Only time matters. Just hold on, God gives opportunity to everyone!   Often when we lose all hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says : 'relax dear its just a bend..not the end'. Have Faith and have a successful life.   Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship, it’s not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till ending.   Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on you what you make with them, Wall or Bridge? Remember you are the architect of your life.   Every problem has (n+1) solutions, where n is the number of solutions that you have tried and 1 is that you have not tried. That’s life. It is not important to hold all the good cards in life. But it’s import

There was a man with four wives. He loved his fourth wife the most and took a great care of her and gave her the best.   He also loved his third wife and always w ... anted to show her off to his friends. However, he was always had a fear that she might runaway with some other man.   He loved his second wife too. Whenever he faced some problems, he always turned to his second wife and she would always help him out.   He did not love his first wife though she loved him deeply, was very loyal to him and took great care of him. One day the man fell very ill and knew that he is going to die soon.   He told himself, "I have four wives with me. I will take one of them along with me when I die to keep company in my death."   Thus, he asked the fourth wife to die along with him and keep company. "No way!" she replied and walked away without another word.   He asked his third wife. She said "Life is so good over here. I'm going to rem

Anger – one letter away from Danger   Anger is a much used but little understood emotion. Many feel justified with their angry reactions and others consider it ...to be a ‘natural’ fight or flight response. Yet those who have been down this garden path will realize that anger serves very little purpose and yet creates a lot more damage. It takes away our peace of mind, leaving us weak and empty. There is a lot of information out there about anger management, but on a spiritual path a more relevant question may be how we transform our anger.   Anger – simply a habit   When we do something over and over again it becomes a habit. Anger can be simply a pattern of behaviour that we have created over time as a reaction to a certain situation. Habits by definition are unconscious… so to become conscious and aware of our reactions means that we can step in and use the power of choice. Through responding rather than reacting we can begin to change our destructive thought patterns.

1. Play a sport. It will teach you how to win honorably, lose gra ... cefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time and stay out of trouble. And maybe even throw or catch.   2. You will set the tone for the sexual relationship, so don't take something away from her that you can't give back.   3. Use careful aim when you pee. Somebody's got to clean that up, you know.   4. Save money when you're young because you're going to need it some day.   5. Allow me to introduce you to the dishwasher, oven, washing machine, iron, vacuum, mop and broom. Now please go use them.   6. Pray and be a spiritual leader.   7. Don't ever be a bully and don't ever start a fight, but if some idiot clocks you, please defend yourself.   8. Your knowledge and education is something that nobody can take away from you.   9. Treat women kindly. Forever is a long time to live alone and it's even longer to live with somebody w

A 91-year-old woman died after living a very long dignified life. When she met God, she asked Him something that had really bothered her for a very long time. “ ... If Man was created in God’s image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each other so badly?”   God replied that each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. It is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people and our relationships with God. This confused the woman, so God began to explain:   “When someone lies to you, it teaches you that things are not always what they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know what is in their hearts. Remove your own masks to let people know who you really are.   When someone steals from you, it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you have. You never know when you might lose it. Never take your friends or family for granted because today, an

  I believe in tough love. If you are a leader, manager, coach, teacher or parent, caring about someone often requires you to challenge and push them to improve, grow and reach their full potential.   Even the best athletes in the world have a coach to push them. But for tough love to work, love must come first.   We must love tough to bring out the best in those we lead!   If people know you care about them they will be more receptive to you pushing them. On the other hand if you put tough before love you're more likely to face resistance.   As Andy Stanley says, "Rules without relationship leads to rebellion."   The old dictator style (tough without love) of leadership no longer works. Having spent time with a number of professional and college sports teams it's clear that even athletes who seem to have it all want to know that their coach cares about them. The best coaches love their players and their players know it and play harder and a

  Once there was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace.   Many artists tried... The king looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.   One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror, for peaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.   All who saw the picture thought it was a perfect picture of peace.   The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.   But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had her nest. There in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest. The king chose t

A rare conversation between Ramkrishna Paramahansa & Swami Vivekananda: 1. Swami Vivekanand:- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free. 2. Swami Vivekanand:- Why has life become complicated now? Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Stop analyzing life.. It makes it complicated. Just live it. 3. Swami Vivekanand:- Why are we then constantly unhappy? Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy. 4. Swami Vivekanand:- Why do good people always suffer? Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter. 5. Swami Vivekanand:- You mean to say such experience is useful? Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons . 6. S

This is a true story that happened in Japan.   In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of it's feet.   He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago when the house was first built !!!   What happened?   The lizard has survived in such position for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!   In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years! without moving a single step, since it's foot was nailed!   So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in it's mouth.  

During a seminar, a woman asked,"How do I know if I am with the right person?" The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, "It depends. Is that your partner?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind replied the author. Here's the answer. Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love. People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my feet."Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU. Falling in love is a passiv

An Interesting Read...   I wanted to quit my life.  I went to the woods to have one last talk with god “God”, I asked,  “Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”    His answer surprised me… “Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo ?    “Yes”, I replied.    “When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.    In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said, “In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.   In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit. He said. “Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.   Compared to the fern it was s
