Something Different

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with Rs 86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day; allows you to keep no cash balance; every night deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do with such an account Draw out every penny, of course!!!
Every one of us has such a 'bank'. Its name is TIME. Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as lost whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.Each day it opens a new account for you.

Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow. You must live in the present -on today's deposits.

Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today!! And make it a great week ahead!! Cheers,

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got
due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From
world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why
does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 5 crore children start
playing tennis, 50 lakh learn to play tennis, 5 lakh learn professional
tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach
Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I
never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD
"Why me?"
Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human,
Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u
Going.....
Keep Going.....

Attitude...............

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate.
He is always in a good mood and always has
something positive to say. When someone
would ask him how he was doing, he would
reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael
was there telling the employee how to look on
the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one
day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it!
You can't be a positive person all of the time. How
do you do it?"
Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to
myself, you have two choices today. You can choose
to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in
a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood."
Each time something bad happens, I can choose
to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it.
I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can
choose to accept their complaining or... I can point
out the positive side of life.
I choose the positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices.
When you cut away all the junk, every situation is
a choice. You choose how you react to situations.
You choose how people affect your mood. You
choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The
bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon hereafter,
I left the Tower Industry to start my own business.
We lost touch, but I often thought about him when
I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved
in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a
communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive
care, Michael was released from the hospital with
rods placed in his back.
I saw Michael about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were
any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him
what had gone through his mind as the accident
took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the
well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,"
Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,
I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose
to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live"
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?"
I asked.
Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when
they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the ex-pressions
on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really
scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'.
I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions
at me," said Michael. "She asked if I was allergic to
anything. 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses
stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a
deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity.'"
Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to
live Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of! his doc tors, but
also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from
him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble
of its own."
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about
yesterday.

Kabhi Palakon PeR

kabhi palkon pe aanson hain kabhi lab pe shikayeat hai
magar a zindagi mujhay tujh se mahubat hai
jo aata hai woh jaata hai yeh duniya aani jaani yahan har sheh musafir hai safar main zindagaani hai ujaalo ki zaroorat hai
andhera meri kismat hai kabhi palkon pe aanson hain kabhi lab pe shikayeat hai
magar a zindagi mujhay tujh se mahubat hai
zara aye zindagi dam le tera deedar to ker lon
kabhi dekha nai jis ko usse main pyar to ker lon abhi se chhor k mat ja abhi teri zaroorat hai kabhi palkon pe aanson hain kabhi lab pe shikayeat hai
magar a zindagi mujhay tujh se mahubat hai
koi anjaan sa chehra utarta hai fizaon main yeh kis ki ahatten jaagi meri khamosh rahon main abhi aye maut mat aana mera wirana jungal hai kabhi palkon pe aanson hain kabhi lab pe shikayeat hai
magar a zindagi mujhay tujh se mahubat hai

HAVE A LUNCH WITH GOD

HAV A LUNCH WITH GOD

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied! "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally!

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time...

There was a rich King who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighbouring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times. The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short.

He thought of his luxurious life and pondered, "I now have 4 wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone. Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.

The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!"

His heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"











"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave."

Her answer came like a bolt of thunder and the King was devastated.

Then a voice called out:

"I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"

In Truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives ...

Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will all go to others. Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

And our 1st wife is our Soul, often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the ego. However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.

So cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now! It is your greatest gift to offer the world. Let it Shine!
