A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20?" Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the Rupees note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20 .  

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don't ever forget it!

 

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.

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"

The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war.

We should always remember that…

“when we point one finger at a person, the other three fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistakes too.”

 

No,not you are the only one

who's standing there right down the sun.

Each one of us is going through,

the pain, some more and some may few.

But yes,it's there in every heart,

it's something which we can't depart,

our shining eyes do tell as well,

we hide something in which we dwell.

Some speak it up,some tear can't shed,

some smile a lot, some seem too sad.

Though are apart their ways but do,

they feel the same no matter who.

Hence faith do grow lesser each day,

one can't believe what one does say.

Hence love has also gone too far,

and is descending every hour.

Another day has come to an end
I look back and wonder
What worthy thing did I do?
Have I accomplished anything?
Was it worth living?
Life is like this today and tomorrow
What I plan today calls for were I’ll be
My future lies in my thoughts
What occupies my mind?
Lazing about the whole day  
This brings about misery
Hard work, thinking produces
Yet again, activity is not productivity
So what am I doing now?
Another day has come to an end
I look back and wonder
Did I say the right words?
Were my deeds beneficial?
Was I adding value to life?
Was I reducing the standards of society?
Life’s like this today and tomorrow
It may not be so.  
For tomorrow will be another day.  
A day so different
Yet today, I can do, say things that shall
Yes, things that shall change tomorrow.
