Pencil: I'm sorry....

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

Think Positive…

1. Attitude is what life is all about.......
Soldier : Sir, we are surrounded from all sides by enemies…
Major : Excellent! We can attack in any direction.

2. Every one knows about Alexander Graham Bell who invented phones, but he never made a call to his family.
Because, his wife and daughter were deaf.
That's life… “Live for others"

3. The worst in life is "Attachment", it hurts when you lose it.
The best thing in life is "Loneliness" because, it teaches you everything and when you lose it. You get everything.

4. Life is not about the people who act true to your face ........
It’s about the people who remain true behind your back.

5. Egg broken from outside force........a life ends.
If an egg breaks from within...........life begins.
Great things always begin from within.

6. Its better to lose your ego to the one you love. Than to lose the one you love....... because of ego.

7. A relationship doesn't shine by just shaking hands on best time. But, it blossoms by holding firmly in critical situation.

8. Heated gold becomes ornaments.
Betted copper becomes wires.
Depleted stone becomes statue.
So, the more pain you get in your life you become more valuable.

9. When you trust someone trust him completely without any doubt .......... At the end, you would get one of the two : either a lesson for your life or a very good person.

10. Why we have so many temples, if God is everywhere?
A wise man said : air is everywhere, but we still need a fan to feel it.

 

Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's
getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's
lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the
freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box
levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the
table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes
into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She
picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on
the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She
watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to
dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.
She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted
out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out from
hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend,
addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the
grocery store. She put both near her bag.
Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night
Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth
and filed her nails.
Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish
and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and
the patio light was on. She looked in on each of the kids and
turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw
some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation
with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next
day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her
6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and
visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV
and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he
did...without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?

‘CAUSE THEY ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL...’

(and they can't die sooner, they still have things to do!!!!)

Send this to five phenomenal women today...they will love you for it!

And Forward this to as many men as you can so that they know why women are so special :) !
God's very own creation! :)

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;

Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements.

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

 
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, 
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than  you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it. But not many guys understand this...... 

Please appreciate "HER", I do, I hope you will do...

Respect Her

I asked for Strength.........
And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom.........
And God gave me Problems to solve.

I asked for Prosperity.........
And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage.........
And God gave me Danger to overcome.

I asked for Love.........
And God gave me Troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors.........
And God gave me Opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted ........
I received everything I needed!

Trust in God. Always !

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a DISTANCE.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of, or at least
minimize your time with, draining, negative, incompatible,
not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.

Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know or appreciate you?

The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of Your Life.

"If you cannot change the people around you, CHANGE the people you are around."

Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.

We should not share our dreams with negative people, Nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts.

It's your choice and your life..... It's up to you who and what you let in it......

Hello all Great collection of quotes and poems Readers,

Let me share someone's life history with you .

 

This was a man who failed in business at the age of 21 ;

was defeated in a legislative race at age 22;

failed again in business at age 24;

overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26;

had a nervous breakdown at age 27;

lost a congressional race at age 34;

lost a senatorial race at age 45;

failed in an effort to become vice-president at age 47;

lost a senatorial race at age 49;

and was elected president of the United States at age 52.

This man was Abraham Lincoln.

If you study history, you will find that all stories of success are also stories of great failures. But people don't see the failures. They only see one side of the picture and they say that person got lucky: "He must have been at the right place at the right time."
Below are more examples of the failures of successful people:

1. Thomas Edison failed approximately 10,000 times while he was working on the light bulb.

2. Henry Ford was broke at the age of 40.

3. Lee Iacocca was fired by Henry Ford II at the age of 54.

4. Young Beethoven was told that he had no talent for music, but he gave some of the best music to the world.

So Don't loose Hope

Be Positive,
Just try again & again, you will definitely succeed in making your dreams come true.......

 

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!

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.”

Today was yesterday's tomorrow
Today will be tomorrow's yesterday
Yesterday's today was yesterday
Tomorrow's today is tomorrow
Yesterday's day after tomorrow is tomorrow
Tomorrow's day before yesterday was yesterday
The day before yesterday's tomorrow was yesterday
The day after tomorrow's yesterday is tomorrow
The day before yesterday's day after tomorrow
And the day after tomorrow's day before yesterday
Are both today
The day after tomorrow's tomorrow
And the day before yesterday's yesterday
Are both too far away
Today's turn into yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes
I think my tomorrow is today
Or maybe it was yesterday
Damn
I'm not sure which is which, anyway
So this is all I have left to say
Don't worry about the future
Don't turn your mind to the past
Just live this moment while it lasts
For far too soon it will also pass
And don't forget
Today's today is today
Where does all the time go?

 

• Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t speak.

 

• Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

 

• Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone ho’s crying out for a companion.

 

• Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to heaven/hell.

 

• Before you complain about your children – Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.

 

• Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.

 

• Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

 

• And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

 

• But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another – Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

 

• And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on your face and thank — you’re alive and still around

 

Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it.
