Brilliant Morning Quotes !

We don't have the right to ask when sorrow comes : 
Why did this happen to me?, 
unless we ask the same question for 
every moment of happiness that comes our way.




Worry is like a rocking chair - 
it gives you something to do 
but it doesn't get you anywhere.




There are too many people praying for mountains of difficulty to be removed, 
what they really need is courage to climb them.




The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith. 
The beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.




When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, 
but merely opening your hands to receive something better !




We often see further through a tear, than through a telescope.




A LOVELY SUNNY DAY !!!!

Start Your Day with Positive Note !!

Thoughts are like ants.  

When one comes, a whole troop arrives.  

One thought can multiply in a matter of seconds, 

and then suddenly an army of negative thoughts is on the march.

What are you going to do, to stop the invasion?

Have one determined thought to transform 

a negative thought into a positive one.  

It's easier to win when you deal with only 1 or 2 thoughts.  

Don't let the negative thoughts multiply - 

have zero tolerance for their presence, 

even if it's just for a few minutes.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY !!

Philosophy of Life - The Real Story !!

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village. A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took them to catch it.

"Not very long." they answered in unison.

"Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"

The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.

"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives.

In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.

We have a full life."

The tourist interrupted,

"I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?"

"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.

You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

"How long would that take?"

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"  

"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen.

"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point wasting twenty-five years?" asked the Mexicans.

And the moral of this story is:

Know where you're going in life....you may already be there.

DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE LIKE ROAD BUMPS,

THEY SLOW YOU DOWN A BIT BUT

YOU ENJOY THE SMOOTH ROAD AFTERWARDS.

BUT, UR ABILITY THAT SHINES"

BUT STILL IT FLIES JOYFULLY CAPTURING MANY HEARTS,

EACH MOMENT IN LIFE IS PRECIOUS.....

SO BE HAPPY AND KEEP WINNING HEARTS...

EVEN A BIG POT FULL OF WATER CAN BE EMPTIED BY A SMALL HOLE,

SIMILARLY.A LITTLE ANGER OR EGO CAN BURN UP 

ALL THE NOBILITY OF A GOOD RELATION.

SMILE HAPPENS IN A FLASH,

BUT THE MEMORIES OF IT SOMETIMES LASTS FOREVER

ENJOY THE LOVELY SUNSHINE !!!

A Bright New Day !!

A Bright New day 

This is the beginning of a new day. 

I have been given this day to use as I will. 

I can waste it, or use it.

I can make it a day long to be remembered

for its joy, its beauty and its achievements,

or it can be filled with pettiness.

What I do today is important because

I am exchanging a day of my life for it. 

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever,

but I shall hold something which I have traded for it. 

It may be no more than a memory, but

if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price. 

I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil,

success not failure.

Hurting Others - Lincoln's Story !!

On his first day in office, as President Abraham Lincoln entered to give his inaugural address, one man stood up. He was a rich aristocrat. He said, "Mr. Lincoln, you should not forget that your father used to make shoes for my family." And the whole Senate laughed; they thought they had made a fool of Lincoln.

But certain people are made of a totally different mettle. Lincoln looked at the man directly in the eye and said, "Sir, I know that my father used to make shoes for your family, and there will be many others here, because he made shoes the way nobody else can.

He was a creator. His shoes were not just shoes; he poured his whole soul into them. I want to ask you, have you any complaint? Because I know how to make shoes myself. If you have any complaint I can make you another pair of shoes. But as far as I know, nobody has ever complained about my father's shoes. He was a genius, a great creator and I am proud of my father".

The whole Senate was struck dumb. They could not understand what kind of man Abraham Lincoln was. He was proud because his father did his job so well that not even a single complaint had ever been heard.

Remember: "No one can hurt you without your consent. It is not what happens to us that hurts us. It is our response that hurts us"

ENJOY THE GREAT DAY !!!

Fresh Good Morning Thoughts !

During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: 

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" 

Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. 

Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

Beautiful Morning Poem !

Enjoy being you

We all get caught up in

our hopes, dreams, and sorrows.

We race around and

plan for tomorrow.

But in a single day,

there's only so much we can do,

and for our happiness,

we should also be true.

Sometimes we need to

sit back, relax, and unwind,

let the stress go--

free our minds.

We need to abandon our cares and

forget the grind, pressure, and strife

and do something we love

and just enjoy life.

And I'm sending this greeting to you,

in hopes that you can take a day off,

and enjoy being you.

HAVE A COOL MORNING !!

provided he keeps doing them until 
he gets a record of successful experience behind him.

The Success Story - Good Morning !!!!

A business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you." He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time." Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

"I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized.Nonetheless, the executive decided to put the check in his safe first. Just knowing it was there, would give him the strength to work out away to save his business, he thought. 

With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and got extended terms of payment from creditors. Soon he could close some big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly a year later, he returned to the park with that uncashed check. The old man did not appear for some time yet the business executive decided to wait for a while more. A while late 

the old man came along the way but seemed to be unmindful of the business executive. He stopped the old man and was about the hand over the cheque with a few words of thanks as well as share his success story.

At the same time, he saw a nurse come running up and grabbing the old man. "I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller." And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his new found self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after. He understood that Confidence is nothing but the distant vision held positively no matter what comes in between. It comes from one's own commitment and dedication and entirely internal. 

"Our duty is to encourage everyone in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the truth"
