Little girl and her father were crossing the bridge.The father was kind of scared .He asked his little girl "Sweetheart pl hold my hand so that you donot fall in the river."The little girl said :_"No daddy you hold my hand.".The father asked "What is the difference?" The little girl replied "There is a big difference.If I hold yr hand and something happens chances are I may let the hand go.But if you hold my hand,no matter what happens,you wl not let it go."   In any relationship the essence of trust is not in its bind,but its bond.So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold ours.   Regards

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. 

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. 

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outerspace, but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication. 

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips,
disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill. 

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. (received by email)

These are 2 of my all time great stories,Pl feel free to agree or disagree

1)A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How n ice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, t he lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

-Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.

-Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.

-Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.

-Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

2)This story is courtesy the movie Daava featuring Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon realised in 1997(PS Fenil Its high time you reviewed this movie):-

Akshay Kumar tells a story:-
In a jungle there are 2 lions:-
a)The original lion and
b)The lamb who pretends to be the lion
Lion B went around telling the whole jungle that he was the lion of the jungle and everyone shd respect him.This worked for a few days and he thought he had everyone fooled but after a few days ,he was found dead.Why???????????
Look down.....................

A lion never says hes a lion,everyone KNOWS he is a lion and that gave him away.
In the same way ,people who are successful,happy or/and in love,never say they are.Everyone knows.And those who say they are ,are almost definitely the ones who arenot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(If not for anything else,watch Daava for this scene only by Akshay Kumar dear.Just joking!)

More to follow.........

Some philosophies which I believe in:-
1)If you cant face the heat dont enter the kitchen.

2)Those staying in glass houses shd not throw stones at others.

3)If you are doing something in a particular way and there's a better way of doing it ,then lets do it.

4)You perform the way you practice.If you practice seriously yr results wl be good.If you donot you can bet yr last rupee you wl fail.

5)Technique is nothing but expression of the mind.If it isnt working ,change it.

6)Tough times dont last,tough people do.

7)We make a living by what we get,we make a life by what we give.

8)Be more concerned about yr character that yr reputation.Yr character is what you really are but yr reputation is what others think of you.

9)Solve problems when they are small otherwise they turn into bigger and more difficult ones.

10)If you are doing something do it with a spirirt of excellence and an unmistakable mark of perfection.

11)Its not what you say but how you say it which makes all the difference.

12)Winners donot do different things,they do things differently.

13)Yr determination to suceed is more important than any other thing.

14)Those who tell you it can't be done have always been around but throughtout history,progress has always come from those who said it could be done.

15)If you reach for the stars you may not necessarily get them but you will not end up with mud either.

16)Love is oxygen.

17)There is no use worrying about things beyond yr control.If you have control ,you can do something about it other than worrying.

18)Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you encountered,and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
19)Smart people learn from other peoples mistakes,not their own!
20)Life is not about the breaths you take but the moments that take yr breath away!
21)If your commitment is deeper that the sea and your ambition is taller than the mountain than your future will be brighter than the sun.
22)Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

It is so Simple to be Happy
But, it is so Difficult to be Simple
23)The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.
24)If you fall,dont see the place where you fell.See the place where you slipped.Success is all about correcting your mistakes.
25)Success comes to those who are too busy to be hunting for it.
26)When you are into a tight place and everything goes against you,until it seems as though you cannopt hold for a minute more,never give up ,for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
27)Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile
28)Make sure that the people in this world who you really like are NEVER in such a "pressure-cooker" state of mind that their judgement of what is right and what is wrong gets flawed.
Many more to come..........................
