Reality of life......!

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.


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.

All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is
my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day,
all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used
to have.
This is to all the parents & their children out there.


Always respect parents..!!

Inspirational Words of Wisdom about Life

Inspirational Words of Wisdom about
 Life......

The Road to Success is not straight: There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a driver called God, you will make it to a place called success!

Live for something:

Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storms of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten. Your name and your good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven.

Pearls of Wisdom: Don't love the Heart that hurts you and don't hurt the Heart that loves you. Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you. Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friend's leave footprints in your heart. True friendship "never" ends. Friends are forever. People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves, it is pointless to search elsewhere. The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. A change of heart changes everything. Our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in rising every time we fall. You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough. One generation plants trees, and the next enjoys the shade. It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.

You are what you think!

• Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

• What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become. It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind.

• Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image. You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition. Constant repetition carries conviction.

• When you change your values you'll change your behavior. Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.

• If you believe you can, you can.

• You can become whatever you want to be.

Slow down:

• Life is not a race. It is a journey.

• Getting someplace first, before anyone else, has very little real and lasting meaning. Seek instead to encourage others to come along, and you'll find the journey much more fulfilling.

• When you hurry through each moment, you miss out on the richness that could be yours. Take the time to live, to experience where you are, rather than being so obsessed with getting to the next checkpoint.

• When you stop demanding to have it all now, you'll discover that you have plenty already. Learn to experience joy where you are, and you'll experience it in abundance.

• Yes, it can be wonderfully exhilarating when life is moving quickly. But do not move so quickly that speed becomes your only experience, for there is so much more to enjoy.

• The terrain of life is filled with wonderful and astounding detail. Slow down and take in its richness.

One step away:

• If you were just one step away from reaching your goal, would you take that step? How do you know, right now, that you're not?

• What a shame it would be to stop making the effort, when just a little bit more would make it all worthwhile. What a shame it would be to have taken all those steps, only to miss the very last one.

• The next step you take may very well be the one that makes all the others count. You owe it to yourself, and the efforts you've made, to keep going.

• No, the next step may not get you there. Yet what about the one after that? If you keep moving ahead, a little at a time, you will indeed arrive. When you take that final, triumphant step, you'll be so very thankful you persevered.

• At some point success is just one step away. Keep going and you'll be there.

Must do:

• In each task that must be done, there is opportunity. See the task not as a burden, but as an encouragement to be fully alive and effective.

• The real burden would be the inability to do anything. No task is a burden, but is instead the chance to express your own aliveness.

• Does the work seem dreary, unimaginative, tedious or boring? That's mainly because your attitude makes it so.

• See what happens when you start by being thankful for the opportunity to do it. Your genuine gratitude will help you to see the positive value.

• When the things you must do become things you want to do, it can transform your life. Each moment takes on more meaning; each effort brings greater and greater reward.

• Rather than fighting and forcing yourself to do what must be done, let go of your resistance and allow yourself to accomplish. Let what you must, become what you want, and watch yourself begin to soar.

Does Love need a Reason...??

Once a lady when having a conversation with her lover, asked:
Lady :Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?
Man :I can t tell the reason.. but I really like you..
Lady :You can t even tell me the reason... how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?
Man :I really don t know the reason, but I can prove that I loveU.
Lady :Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend s boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!
Man :Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful,
because your voice is sweet,
because you are caring,
because you are loving,
because you are thoughtful,
because of your smile,
because of your every movements.
The lady felt very satisfied with the man s answer.


Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and went in comma.
The Guy then placed a letter by her side,
here is the content:
Darling,Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you.
Because of your care and concern that I like you..Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you.
Because of your smile,because of your every movements that I love you..
Now can you smile? Now can you move?No, therefore I cannot love you...
If love needs a reason, like now,There is no reason for me to love you anymore.
Does love need a reason?
NO!Therefore,
I still LOVE YOU...
"True love never dies for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away"

************ ********* **

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

Listen to life

Listen to life

Stop worrying so much about what you're

trying to say, and listen for a while.

Though it may seem strange, one very

effective way to express yourself is by

listening.


Listen, carefully, lovingly and

attentively to the world around you.

Listen to others and listen to life.


Let go of your assumptions about what

you expect to hear. Listen not only with

your ears, but also with your heart and

spirit.


Pay attention to what life has to say to

you. There is no end to the valuable

lessons you can learn.


When you think you know it all, you deny

yourself the opportunity to learn new

things. When you interact with others

only to impress them with how much you

know, they'll soon understand that you

know very little.


The more you listen, observe and learn,

the more powerfully you'll be able to

express yourself. Take heed of what life

has to say, and what you learn will

carry you far.

-- Ralph Marston

'Give quietly !

'Give quietly !

While giving let not the  recipient feel small or humiliated.

After all what we  give never really belonged to us. We come to

this world  with nothing and will go with nothing. The thing

gifted  was only  with us for a temporary period. Why then take

pride in giving away something which really did not belong to us?

Give with grace and with a feeling of gratitude.

What should one feel after giving ?

We all know the story  of Eklavya. When Dronacharya asked him for

his right  thumb as "Guru Dakshina". He unhesitatingly cut off the

thumb and gave it to Dronacharya.

There is a little known sequel to this story. Eklavya was asked

whether he ever  regretted the act of giving away his thumb when

he was dying.

His reply was "Yes ! I regretted this only once in my life. It was

when Pandavas  were coming in to kill Dronacharya who was broken

hearted  on the false news of death of his son Ashwathama and had

stopped fighting. It was then that I regretted the loss  of my

thumb. If the thumb was there , no one could have  dared hurt my

Guru?

The message to us is clear.

Give and never regret giving !

And the last question is

' How much should we provide for our heirs ?

Ask yourself , 'Are we taking away from them the  "gift of work?-

a source of  happiness!'   The answer is given by Warren Buffett:

"Leave your kids enough to do anything , but not enough to do

nothing !

I would conclude by saying: let us learn the Art of  Giving , and

quoting Sant Kabir:

"When the wealth in the  house increases ,  When water fills a

boat , Throw them out with both hands !

This is the wise thing to do!
