Thoughtful Morning Story !!


31st December......... The last morning of 2010 !!


Spend Half Day in a Graveyard

A physician gave some rather whimsical advice to a patient, an aggressive, go-getter type of businessman. Excitedly the businessman told the doctor what an enormous amount of work he had to do and that he had to get it done right away or else things will fall apart.

“I take my brief case home every night and it’s packed with work,” he said with nervous inflection.

“Why do you take work home with you at night?” the doctor asked quietly.

“I have to get it done,” he fumed.

“Can’t someone else do it, or help you with it?” asked the doctor.

“No,” the man snapped. “I am the only one who can do it. It must be done just right, and I alone can do it as it must be done, and it has to be done quickly. Everything depends upon me.”

“If I write a prescription, will you follow it?” asked the doctor.

This, believe it or not was the prescription. His patient was to take off half-day a week and spend that half-day in cemetery.

In astonishment the patient demanded, “Why should I spend a half-day in a cemetery?”

“Because,” answered the doctor, “I want you to wander around and look at the gravestones of men who are there permanently. I want you to meditate on the fact that many of them are there because they thought even as you do, that the whole world rested on their shoulders. Meditate on the fact that when you get there permanently the world will go on just the same &, as important as you are, others will be able to do the work you are now doing.” 

The patient got the idea. He stopped fuming & fretting. He got peaceful and developed a more competent organization & his business is in better condition.

Pleasant Morning Words !!



We never get what we want,
We never want what we get, 
We never have what we like, 
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love. 
That's life...





The best kind of friends, 
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, 
Never say a word,
And then walk away feeling like 
it was the best conversation you've ever had..





It's true that we don't know
What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know 
What we've been missing until it arrives..





Giving someone all your love is never an assurance 
that they'll love you back! 
Don't expect love in return; 
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

Special Morning Poem !




A good morning wish, for you my friend
May joy be yours, until day's end
With nothing but sunshine, no clouds at all
Until the evening shadows fall.

Our friendship is so dear to me
My dearest friend, you continue to be
Even though many miles keep us apart
You are always here, close in my heart.

On your friendship, I know I can depend
In any circumstance, I might be in
Please know, you, I so appreciate and adore
No way my friend, could I ever love you more.

Exclusive Morning Statements !!




"Performance always comes from passion & not from pressures". 
Be passionate.. Love what you do & do what you love.


The highest power is the power of thoughts. 
When your thoughts become firm like rock- solid resolution, 
even imagination becomes reality.


A good heart and a good nature are two different issues. 
A good heart can win many relationships 
but a good nature can many hearts.


Never feel all doors are closed in your life. 
All closed doors may not be locked. 
They may be waiting for your gentle push.


A great soul said " Yesterday, I was clever. So I wanted to change the world. 
Today I am wise. So I am changing myself." 
It is better to be wise than to be clever.


End is not the end. In fact E.N.D. is "Effort Never Dies" and 
If you get NO  in answer remember N.O. is "Next Opportunity". 
So always be positive in life !!!


Good Morning !!!

 A smile is a sign of love
 A smile is a sign of care
 A smile tells how much to others
 You are important and also dear

 A smile is a sign of cheer
 A smile is a sign of trust

Some Interesting Morning Quotes !




Some desire is necessry to keep life in motion.


Without crossing of worst situations, 
no one can touch the best corners of life.


Always Dare to face anything in your mysterious life


Best Relations are like Beauitful street lamps.
They may not make the distance shorter 
but they light your path and make the journey easier


Dark is not opposite of light, it is just the absence of light,
Similarly a problem is the absence of an idea, not absence of a solution


The beauty U see around you is a reflection of the person you are. 
The good you find in others is in you too. 


Have a nice perspective day !!!

Little and gentle acts of kindness will certainly make a mighty changes in life !!



It is heart-touching story.  A must read.....


****************************************************************************

Dr. Frank May field was touring Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he accidentally collided with an elderly floor maid. To cover the awkward moment Dr. May field started asking questions.

"How long have you worked here?"

"I've worked here almost since the place opened," the maid replied.

"What can you tell me about the history of this place?" he asked.

"I don't think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something."

With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like small prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, "That's the cage where they used to keep Annie Sullivan."

"Who's Annie?" the doctor asked.

”Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible—nobody could do anything with her. She'd bite and scream and throw her food at people. The doctors and nurses couldn't even examine her or anything. I'd see them trying with her spitting and scratching at them.

"I was only a few years younger than her myself and I used to think, 'I sure would hate to be locked up in a cage like that.' I wanted to help her, but I didn't have any idea what I could do. I mean, if the doctors and nurses couldn't help her, what could someone like me do?

"I didn't know what else to do, so I just baked her some brownies one night after work. The next day I brought them in. I walked carefully to her cage and said, 'Annie I baked these brownies just for you. I'll put them right here on the floor and you can come and get them if you want.'

"Then I got out of there just as fast as I could because I was afraid she might throw them at me. But she didn't. She actually took the brownies and ate them. After that, she was just a little bit nicer to me when I was around. And sometimes I'd talk to her. Once, I even got her laughing.

"One of the nurses noticed this and she told the doctor. They asked me if I'd help them with Annie. I said I would if I could. So that's how it came about that. Every time they wanted to see Annie or examine her, I went into the cage first and explained and calmed her down and held her hand. This is how they discovered that Annie was almost blind."

After they'd been working with her for about a year—and it was tough sledding with Annie—the Perkins institute for the Blind opened its doors. They were able to help her and she went on to study and she became a teacher herself.

Annie came back to the Tewksbury Institute to visit, and to see what she could do to help out. At first, the Director didn't say anything and then he thought about a letter he'd just received. A man had written to him about his daughter. She was absolutely unruly—almost like an animal. She was blind and deaf as well as 'deranged.' He was at his wit's end, but he didn't want to put her in an asylum. So he wrote the Institute to ask if they knew of anyone who would come to his house and work with his daughter.

And that is how Annie Sullivan became the lifelong companion of Helen Keller.

When Helen Keller received the Nobel Prize, she was asked who had the greatest impact on her life and she said, "Annie Sullivan."

But Annie said, "No Helen. The woman who had the greatest influence on both our lives was a floor maid at the Tewksbury Institute."

Start Your Day By Trying Something Different !!


Try something different

Most people are stuck right where they are. The reason they’re stuck, however, isn’t usually due to circumstances, incompetence, or lack of opportunity, but a simple unwillingness to change, to try new things.

We can make smaller, inner changes on a day-to-day, moment to moment basis – changes in our attitude, reactions, and expectations. I’m talking about being willing to take new risks, and face old fears. 

Over and over again I hear people saying things like “I’ve always done things that way” or “That’s just the type of person I am.” These things are said as if they are carved in stone. It is amazing what you can learn by simply opening your mind and trying new things.

Starting today, tell yourself that you are going to do something, however small, a little differently. Perhaps you can be more friendly to the people you work with. Maybe it’s not too late to overcome your fear of asking others to help you, or for their advice whoever you are, whatever you do, there is always something you can do a little differently. 

You may find that you love the tiny changes you make and that you can open exciting new doors by making relatively small adjustments. If you’re okay with the changes, you might want to try some other changes as well.

A Story About 4 Rules of Life !



I met this guy while I was in Albuquerque and he has a motto he lives by everyday. He said listen carefully and live by these 4 rules : Drink, Steal, Swear, & Lie.

I was shaking my head 'no', but he then told me to listen while he explained his four rules. So here they are :

1.    "Drink" from the "everlasting cup" every day.

2.    "Steal" a moment to help someone that is in worse shape than you are.

3.    "Swear" that you will be a better person today than yesterday.

4.    And last, but not least, when you "Lie" down at night thank God you are alive and have freedom.
 
 
Have a Great Weekend !!

Enjoy A Perfect Day Ahead !


A Happy person is HAPPY, not because everything is RIGHT in his life.
He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards everything in his life is RIGHT.


Never take life seriously,
Nobody gets out alive anyway.


Life never seems to be the way we want it,
but we live it the best way we can.
There is no perfect life,
but we can fill it with perfect Moments...


Dont feel Bitter that people remember you only when they need you
Feel privileged that you are like a CANDLE -
Comes to mind when theirs a darkness in their life

 
Have A Perfect Day Ahead !!

Meaningful Morning Poem !!




I missed my day, completely today
But I would not , tomorrow
For the days are mine, world is mine
All the life is totally mine


I missed my fortune, all way today
But I would not, tomorrow
For luck can't be bad everyday
leaving just pains totally my way


I missed my path, totally today
But I would not, tomorrow
For I would reach back the right way
Making my path clear by today


I missed my soul,somewhere today
But I would not, tomorrow
For I would start my life afresh
Fragrancing my soul in every possible way


I missed my everything, only today
But I would surely not,tomorrow
Though tomorrow might not be my day
My little hope lets me live my life this way.....

Interesting Morning Messages !

  
“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”


There are only two things in life on which we survive:
ACCEPT & CHANGE
Either ACCEPT what you can't change,
or CHANGE what you can't accept.


A single harsh word spoken at the time of anger
is so poisonous that it makes us to forget
the hundred LOVEABLE conversations within seconds
 
 
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling.....
and even more beautiful is,
knowing that you are the reason behind it
 
 
Loving some one does not need a reason;
if you could explain why you love someone,
then it's not called LOVE, 'its LIKNESS' !
 
 
Good Day!

Interesting Morning Poem !




As I awoke this morning,
My head was filled with dreams of you.
Of the love that we share,
That each day God does renew.


My heart does sing,
Of the joys we share.
How I treasure each moment,
When you are near.


So this morning I'll tell you.
Like so many before.
As each day passes,
I love you more!


Good Morning!

Fresh Morning Rhyms !!


Everything in this world can be seen as you wish to
Good or Bad;
Simple or Complicated;
Easy or Difficult,
It's not how things are;
its about how you look up to them
and how you look up to them is all up to you.



If you want something badly, let it go.
If it comes back to you,
then its going to be yours forever.
If it doesn't then it's never going to be yours...



"Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.



Have a Blessed Day !!!
