Touching Story - Happiness Comes From Giving !!

HAPPINESS COMES FROM GIVING

This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no meaning.

So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness. The counselor called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors. The counselor then said to the rich lady"I'm going to ask Mary here to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is listen to her."

So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story :

"Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody... I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life. 

Then one evening a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk, and the kitten licked the plate clean. Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and for the first time in months, I smiled. Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe doing something for people could make me happy.

So the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed. Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy.

Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I've found happiness, by giving it to others."

When she heard that the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.

However down I am, I fight until the last ball.

FEEL THE SUN-RAYS REACHING YOU FROM THE WINDOW... GOOD MORNING !!!!

Blissful Morning Poem !!

Life Still Has Meaning !!

If there is a future

there is time for mending,

Time to see your troubles

coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless

however great your sorrow,

If you're looking forward

to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing

then there is time for hoping-

When through doubt and darkness

you are blindly groping.

Though the heart be heavy

and hurt you may be feeling,

If there is time for praying

there is time for healing.

So if through your window

there is a new day breaking,

Thank God for the promise,

though mind and soul be aching,

If with harvest over

there is grain enough for gleaning,

There is a new tomorrow

and life still has meaning.

Lovely Morning Thoughts !!

A smile is a fortune, but you can't sell it, 
you can't buy it and you can't steal it, 
but it isn't good to anyone until it is given away.




There are many things in life that will catch your eye, 
but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those.




Don't tell God how big your problems are...
tell your problems how big your God is.




What you are is God's gift to you,
what you become is your gift to God.





Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason, 
some come to learn and others come to teach.




To your mind be gentle, 
to your life be honest,
to your heart be true, 
to your soul be kind !




Have A Great Weekend !!

Thoughtful Story - THE SMART GAME !!

There once lived a great mathematician in a village outside Ujjain . He was often called by the local king to advice on matters related to the economy. His reputation had spread as far as Taxila in the North and Kanchi in the South of India. So it hurt him very much when the village headman told him, "You may be a great mathematician who advises the king on economic matters but your son does not know the value of gold or silver." 

The mathematician called his son and asked, "What is more valuable - gold or silver?" "Gold," said the son. "That is correct. Why is it then that the village headman makes fun of you, claims you do not know the value of gold or silver? He teases me every day. He mocks me before other village elders as a father who neglects his son. This hurts me. I feel everyone in the village is laughing behind my back because you do not know what is more valuable, gold or silver. Explain this to me, son." 

So the son of the mathematician told his father the reason why the village headman carried this impression. "Every day on my way to school, the village headman calls me to his house. There, in front of all village elders, he holds out a silver coin in one hand and a gold coin in other. He asks me to pick up the more valuable coin. I pick the silver coin. He laughs, the elders jeer, everyone makes fun of me. And then I go to school. This happens every day. That is why they tell you I do not know the value of gold or silver." 

The father was confused. His son knew the value of gold and silver, and yet when asked to choose between a gold coin and silver coin always picked the silver coin. "Why don't you pick up the gold coin?" he asked. In response, the son took the father to his room and showed him a box. In the box were at least a hundred silver coins. Turning to his father, the mathematician's son said, "The day I pick up the gold coin the game will stop. They will stop having fun and I will stop making money." 

The bottom line is...

Sometimes in life, we have to play the fool because our seniors and our peers, and sometimes even our juniors like it. That does not mean we lose in the game of life. It just means allowing others to win in one arena of the game, while we win in the other arena of the game. We have to choose which arena matters to us and which arenas do not.

Refreshing Morning Poem !!

A good morning hug

I'm sending to you

Wrapped up in love

With big smiles too

My special wish

Is you'll have a good day

I hope things are pleasant

Each step of the way

A day filled with sunshine

No clouds overhead

Feelings of peace

As you climb out of bed

Enjoy the fresh air

Be good to yourself

Find time to relax

We only live once

A good morning hug

For you my friend

Start Your Day With A Positive Note !!

Don't go the way life takes you.

Take the life the way you go,

Remember you are born to live and 

not living because you are born. 

Some times Prayers doesnt change the situation, 

but it changes our attitude towards situation, 

& gives us the hopes which changes our entire Life. 

Happiness always looks small if you hold it in your hands, 

but when you learn to share it, 

you will realize how big and precious it is.

If you want something you never had, 

do something you have never done. 

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future.

It's something you design for the present. 

Make each moment a happy one.

I just did it by remembering U!

Have a nice day !!

A Story That Tells Good Definition of Quality !!

Good definition of Quality and very relevant to our way of working also.....

A gentleman was once visiting a temple under construction. In the temple premises, he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. 

Suddenly he saw, just a few meters away, another identical idol was lying. Surprised he asked the sculptor, do you need two statutes of the same idol. No said the sculptor. We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage. 

The gentleman examined the statue. No apparent damage was visible. Where the damage is? Asked the gentleman. There is a scratch on the nose of the idol. Where are you going to keep the idol? The sculptor replied that it will be installed on a pillar 20 feet high.

When the idol will be 20 feet away from the eyes of the beholder, who is going to know that there is scratch on the nose? The gentleman asked. The sculptor looked at the gentleman, smiled and said, ' The God knows it and I know it '. 

The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not. 

Quality is a drive from Inside not Outside.

Enjoy Each Moment Of Your Life !!

The best revenge is a vow to never be like the one who hurt you.

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.

Worry is interest paid in advance for a debt you many never owe.

Pray as if everything depended on GOD, 

Act as if everything depended on yourself!

With prayer as with other gifts from God, 

it is not what you get that counts, it's what you do with it.

Have a lovely day !!!

Keep Doing The Best !!

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...

To love is a Duty...

To be Loved is a Success..

To be with someone you love

is a Achievement...

To be with someone who

loves you is Life ....

Success lies not in the result but in the efforts....

"Being" the Best is not important,

"Doing" the Best is all that matters....

Have a Blessed Day !!!
