Successful people have two things on their lips, "smile and silence". Smile can solve problem while Silence can avoid problems. Sugar and salt may be mixed together but ants reject the salt and carry away only the sugar. Select the right people in life and make your life better and sweeter. If you fail to achieve your dreams, change your ways not your God. Remember, trees change their leaves and not their roots. You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones to every dog that barks. Haters will see you walking on water and say its because you can't swim. Even if you dance on water, your enemies will accuse you of raising dust. Make it your ambition to live a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your own hands. Remember, don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it. -- Be Inspired and have a great day.

Being and Breathing

One warm evening many years ago…

After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing. So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear. She smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile back –and she said, “When I’m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope that I can remember this very moment.”

 

A few seconds later she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The room was peaceful – almost silent. All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing. I stayed awake thinking about the time we’d spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible. And at some point, I realized that it didn’t matter what we’d done or where we’d gone. Nor did the future hold any significance.

 

All that mattered was the serenity of the moment.

 

Just being with her and breathing with her.

 

The moral: We must not allow the clock, the calendar, and external pressures to rule our lives and blind us to the fact that each individual moment of our lives is a beautiful mystery and a miracle – especially those moments we spend in the presence of a loved one

 

CREATE YOUR OWN DESTINY

Once five men were caught in a thick forest. 

 

The first man said….I will go left. Because my intuition said so. 

 

The second one said….“I will go the right, because the right comes from the word rightness. 

 

The third one said….I will go back the way we came. 

 

The fourth one said….I will go straight. We should move forward, the forest will end and we will go somewhere new. 

 

The fifth said….You are all wrong. There is a better solution. Wait for me. 

 

He climbed the tallest tree he could find while everyone else went their own way. 

 

From above he saw the shortest way to exit. He could also see the order in which the others would exit. He understood the problem and found the best solution! 

 

He knew that he did everything right. The others were wrong. They were stubborn and they didn’t listen to him. He was the real Wise Man! 

 

But he was wrong. Everyone was right. They were all wise. 

 

The man who went to the left found himself in the thicket. He had to starve and fight with wild animals, but he learned how to survive in the forest. He became a part of the forest and could teach others the same. 

 

The man who went to the right was robbed of everything and was forced to join them. After some time, he had reminded the thieves of something they had ^ forgotten - humanity and compassion.

 

The man who went back created a trail through the forest which soon became a road for those who wanted to enjoy the forest without the fear of getting lost. 

 

The man who went straight became a pioneer. He went places where nobody else had been before and created new opportunities for others. 

 

The man who climbed the tree became a guide. People turned to him when they wanted to find the most efficient ways to deal with their problems. 

 

These five wise men created their destiny by listening to their intuition. You can create your own path.

DON'T QUIT

Mr. Peter had a job interview to attend at 10am but his wife developed complications at 9am. He decided to take the wife to the hospital and leave for the interview thereafter but on their way to the hospital, the taxi broke down. It was already 10:30am before he could get another taxi.

He arrived the hospital at 11am, dropped the wife and used the same taxi to go for the interview. He arrived the interview venue at 12noon(2hours late).

 

He rang the bell but no one opened the door. Meanwhile, earlier at 10am, the company mail delivery had rang the bell but no one opened the door too. When the door was finally opened, Mr. Peter said "I'm sorry, I came... " he wanted to apologise for coming late, but the Secretary interrupted before he could finish his statement and ushered him to the Board Room. The Secretary said, "I apologise, Mr. Peter, for keeping you waiting since 10am. We actually heard when the bell rang at 10am but we were held up in a meeting with our company suppliers.

 

However, we have sat since 8am to deliberate on your job specification, your office and the salary."

Mr. Peter was baffled and said, "Ma'am, I haven't been interviewed yet’’. The MD answered him and said, "We decided not to conduct the interview at least to save time and also save the interviewees money on transport. So we looked at the papers for the most appropriate person we wanted and we opted for you. Also, we had tested your patience this morning by keeping you waiting intentionally for 2hrs. That's part of your interview. You won't be disappointed. You’ll be shown your office, your secretary and the driver assigned to drive your company's allotted vehicle. You’ll be on probation for 2yrs."

 

He got the job!!!

On his way out, his phone rang and it was the wife. She said, "honey, I was delivered of a bouncing baby boy." It was their fifth child and the only male child. He immediately named the child 'Miracle'.

He got a double miracle same day.

 

Crab And The Wave

 

A crab was once running on the sea shore and was admiring its beautiful footprints. Suddenly a huge wave splashed and washed away the footprints.The crab said to the wave, "I considered you as one of my best friends, so what made you do this? *" The wave replied, A fisherman was following your footprints, that's why I cleared it off... "Relationships mean caring beyond imagination". Value them and don't ever doubt the intentions.

 

Be Your Brother's Keeper ..Never hurt those who value you in life.

THE BLANK SHEET OF PAPER

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page.

 

The professor seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see there.” The confused students got started on the inexplicable task. At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no exceptions described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet etc.

 

After all had been read, the classroom was silent. The professor began to explain, “I am not going to grade you on this, I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is a gift given to us by God with love and care. We always have reasons to celebrate, nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day.”

 

“However, we insist on focusing only on the dark spots, the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friends etc. The dark spots are very small compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds. Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you. Be happy and live a life positively!”

The Billionaire Industrialist and the Fisherman

The billionaire industrialist was shocked to see a fisherman sitting by the side of his boat smoking a cigarette instead of catching fish.

Industrialist: why aren't you catching fish?

Fisherman: Because I have caught a lot of fish today.

Industrialist: So why aren't you catching more?

Fisherman: What will I do with more fish?

Industrialist: You can make more money, then you will have a motor boat with which you can go deeper and catch fish. You will have enough money to buy nylon nets. This will allow you to catch more fish and make more money. Soon you will own two boats with this money. You may have a fleet of private jets. Then you will become rich like me.

Fisherman: What will I do next?

Industrialist: Then sit back and enjoy life.

Fisherman: What do you think I am doing right now?

Moral: Sometimes it's wrong to think that people are lazy just because they're having a little fun. You don't know their story. Get to know people and then you will understand why they do certain things. Don't be too quick to judge.
