There are plenty of life's tiny delights for all of us.

Make That Difference .....




If each grain of sand were to say :
One grain does not make a mountain,
There would be no land.

If each drop of water were to say :
One drop does not make an ocean,
There would be no sea.

If each note of music were to say :
Each note does not make a symphony,
There would be no melody.

If each brick were to say :
One brick does not make a wall,
There would be no house.

One person does not make the difference,
There would never be love and peace on earth.

You and I do make the difference.
Begin today and make the difference.

Happy Morning Feelings !






“Apologizing does not mean that you are wrong and the other one is right.
It simply means that you value the relationship much more than your ego”



"There will be a time when loud-mouthed,
incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you.
When that happens, you only have to be patient and
wait for them to self-destruct. It never fails."





True Friends Are Like Mornings:
You Can't Have Them For The Whole Day,
But You Can Be Sure They Will Be There
When You Wake Up The Other Day.




Don't stop yourself from doing a deed 
just cause it's small or only cause 
just one or few individuals will benefit from it.
Just remember, no matter how small the deed;
it really does makes a difference. 
Make a difference today.

A small story that teaches a lot...




A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away.

The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"
So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer....................... $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.......................... $ 9,998.00

Moral of the story : 
Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in our life makes all the difference.

Practice those qualities which you believe in !




If kindness, patience, honesty, and generosity are qualities that you believe in, you make every effort to practice those qualities at work. 

Treat people with kindness and respect. If someone is late or makes a mistake, you try to be patient. Even if it’s your job or appropriate to reprimand someone, you do so from a foundation of love and respect. 

In a given day, you have so many opportunities to practice patience, acts of kindness, and forgiveness. You have time to think loving thoughts, smile, embrace others, and practice gratitude. You can practice being non-defensive and a better listener. 

You can try to be compassionate, particularly with difficult or abrasive people. Practice the way you greet people and deal with conflict. You can practice in virtually everything that you do.

Cool Morning Poem !




Warm fuzzies I send
From across all the miles
Sealed with a kiss
And great big smiles

This good morning greeting
Is coming your way
With all of my blessings
You'll have a good day

So open your heart
Let the sunshine in
It's such a nice way
For the day to begin

Enjoy your day
In all that you do
Mine will be awesome
I'm thinking of you

God created a new day for you.
May you be blessed the whole day through.

Peaceful slumber through the night,
Awaken with the morning light.
Greet with Joy the brand new day,
May God guide you on your way.

Lovely Morning Phrases !!




Your thoughts guide you to your destiny.
If you always think the same 
you will always get to the same place.
Think in a new way and you will be a new person.
Give happiness to all and you will live in peace.
Create peace in your mind and 
you will create a world of peace around you.


Never stop caring for the little things in Life,
Never stop dreaming or give into strife.
Never stop building bridges that leads to promising tomorrows,
Never stop trying or give into sorrow. 
Never stop smiling and looking forward to each new day, but most of all
Never stops shining in your own special way. 



Life is the hardest school, as you never know
What level of class you are in,
What exam you will have next and
you can't cheat because nobody else 
will have the same question paper.


HAVE A BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY !!

Be Willing To Learn Throughout The Life !!



One truck driver was doing his usual load delivery at a mental hospital, by parking his vehicle beside an open drain.

He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to return from the mental hospital. He jacked up the truck and removed the flat tyre to fix the spare tyre. When he was about to fix the spare tyre, he accidentally dropped all the 4 bolts in the open drain.

As he cannot fish the bolts in the open drain, he started to panic as to what should be done?
Just then, one patient happened to walk past him and asked the driver as to why he was looking troubled.

The driver thought to himself, since there is nothing much he can do or this mental joker can. Just to keep the bugging away, the truck driver informed the whole episode to the mental patient and gave a helpless look.

The patient just laughed at the truck driver and said you just cannot even fix such a simple problem? No wonder you are destined to remain a truck driver for life".

The truck driver was astonished to hear such a compliment from a mental guy. "Here is what you can do" said the mental guy... "take one bolt from each of the remaining 3 tyres / wheels and fix it on to this tyre. Then drive down to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones. Isn't it simple my friend".

The truck driver was so impressed with this quick fix answer and asked the patient "how come you are so smart and intelligent and you are here at the mental hospital?"

The patient replied "hello friend! I stay here because I am crazy but not stupid".

No wonder, there are some people, who behave like the Truck Driver, thinking that others are just stupid. So, guys, though you all are learned and wise, but, just watch out, there could be some CRAZY guys in our professional / personal lives, who could give us lot of quick fixes and brush our wisdom.

Moral of the story : Just do not conclude that you know everything and do not judge people by mere looks/ attire stature or academic background.

Spread That Smile !!






Smile costs nothing but creates much.




Smile enriches those who receive without impoverishing those who give it.




Smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business, 
and is the countersign of friends.




Smile is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and nature's best antidote for trouble.




Smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody unless it is given away.




Nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give...

Happy Morning Poem !!




Cultivating with the seeds of gratitude, we can harvest happiness.

" Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough , and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order,
confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow. "

Look Forward To Each New Day !!






Laughter is God's sunshine. 




Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it. 




It's important for parents to live the same things they teach. 




Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul. 




Patience is the ability to idle your motor
 when you feel like stripping your gears. 




Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together. ....




We take for granted the things that 
we should be giving thanks for. 




HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK AHEAD !!

Thoughtful Morning Story !




JUDGE YOURSELF

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just completed his course. He took 3 days and painted beautiful scenery. He wanted people's opinion about his caliber and painting skills.

He put his creation at a busy street-crossing. And just down below aboard which read -"I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes etc. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake."

While he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was completely shattered to see that whole canvass was filled with Xs(crosses) and some people had even written their comments on the painting.

Disheartened and broken completely he ran to his master's place and burst into tears.
This young artist was breathing heavily and master heard him saying"I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint I'm not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying"

Master smiled and suggested "My Son, I will prove that you are a greatartist and have learnt a flawless painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It WILL work."

Young artist reluctantly agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica of his earlier painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled.

"Come with me." master said.

They reached the same street-square early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now master took out anotherboard which read -"Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokesetc. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it."

Master and disciple walked back home.

They both visited the place same evening. Young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far. Next day again they visited and found painting remained untouched. They say the painting was kept there for a month for no correction came in!

Moral of the story :

It is easier to criticize, but DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE!
So don't get carried away or judge yourself by someone else’s criticism and feel depressed...
JUDGE YOURSELF! YOU ARE YOUR BEST JUDGE!!! 


ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND !!!

Beautiful Morning Words !!








There are two types of people who will tell you that 
you cannot make a difference in this world:
Those who are afraid to try themselves
And those who are afraid that you will succeed !




Hug the person you really love & tell them 
how much you care for them. 
Because when they are gone, 
no matter how loud you shout & cry, 
they won't hear you anymore.




Believe in what you can do, 
instead of what others say you can't do. 
And you will accomplish great things !




One of the best things in life is 
seeing a smile on a person's face 
and knowing that you put it there !




Always Think positive to remain stress free !
when you have problems in your life
don't complain to God about how big your problems are , 
but tell your problems how big your GOD is !!!!




Men of genius are admired, 
men of wealth are envied, 
men of power are feared; 
but only men of character are trusted !

Intelligent Morning Quotes !





Receive my simple gift of GOOD MORNING
wrapped with sincerity,
tied with care and sealed with a prayer
to keep you safe and happy all day long!

                        
"Coin Always Makes Sound But 
The Currency Notes Are Always Silent. 
So When Your Value Increases 
Keep Yourself Calm Silent"   


When you pray for others,
God listens to you and blesses them,
so when you are safe and happy, 
remember that someone is praying for you.


Whenever you want to know how rich you are? 
Never count your currency, just try to Drop a Tear and 
count how many hands reach out to WIPE that - 
that is true richness.



Wishing Your Day be Filled with Love and Peace.

Lively Morning Poem !!





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.


BE CHEERFUL !!
