Good Words

When things go wrongs as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low,and the debts are high,
And you want to smile,but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit

Don,t be pushed by your problems.
Be led by your dreams.

Never stop believing in dreaming,
and never stop dreaming of believing.
That is what gives us hope,
and what keeps us alive.

Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.
All of our hopes and dreams are within reach, if only we believe.

The secret of success in life, is to be ready for opportunity when it comes.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

We acquire strength in what we overcome.
Champions are made, not born.

It only takes a single thought to move the world.

Individuals play games,
but team wins championships

Preparation + opportunity = Luck

Nothing can stop the power of persistence.

Heart touching Story - must read and circulate if you like

I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old..

The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money?''I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.''

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand, Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much .. I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God.. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister...''

My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly..

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?'' 'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.'

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state.

The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.

She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever... The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Please DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.

HOW VERY TRUE

Sir Winston Churchill... His argument against granting India freedom.
"Power will go to the hands of rascals ,rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India ."

By Seeing today's situation, I think Sir Churchill is correct. Sorry to say this.

Magic of English

Professor Ernest Brennecke of Columbia is credited with inventing a sentence that can be made to have eight different meanings by placing ONE WORD in all possible positions in the sentence: "I hit him in the eye yesterday".

The Query: What is this word...?
The Answer: The word is "ONLY".

The Message:

1. ONLY I hit him in the eye yesterday. (No one else did.)
2. I ONLY hit him in the eye yesterday. (Did not slap him.)
3. I hit ONLY him in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit others.)
4. I hit him ONLY in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit outside the eye.)
5. I hit him in ONLY the eye yesterday. (Not other organs.)
6. I hit him in the ONLY eye yesterday. (He doesn't have another eye.)
7. I hit him in the eye ONLY yesterday. (Not today.)
8. I hit him in the eye yesterday ONLY. (Did not wait for today.)

TEN COMMANDAMENTS

1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in
trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs towards the right
path!

2] Do you know why a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rearview
Mirror is so small?
Because our PAST is not as important as your FUTURE. Look
Ahead and Move on

3] Relationship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn,
but it takes years to write

4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it,
they will not last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't
last long either.

5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a
Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always
need a Base of Gold!

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles
from above and says,
"Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS
abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your
abilities.

8] A blind person asked Swami Vivekanand: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?"
He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrows' TROUBLES, it takes away today's PEACE.

Discontentment!.........WHY?



A young boy was sad. He was sitting under the tree where he regularly comes and talks out all his problems and how he is not able to cope up with them.

His list of problems went on... till it was almost dark.

He was tired and cried out, Is there no one to listen to me and to my problems.

An old woman came out from the dark and said, What do you want?

Boy was stunned to see her and later he said, Give me something to be away from my problems.

Old woman said, Take this woolen ball. Unwind it and cut the piece of wool, when there is a problem. Your problems will be solved.

The boy tried it and found that it worked.



Time rolled out and one fine day, a man was seen near the tree with the woolen ball in his hands.

He was calm, but looked dissatisfied.

He waited without talking but had lots of unanswered questions.



Finally it was dark, the old woman came out and asked, What is your complaint NOW?



The man asked, I have solved every problem with this woolen ball. There seems to be no problem now. But... at last I feel, I have missed something, I am not happy, Why is it so?



The old woman replied,

You will appreciate light only after having gone through the darkness.

* Your problems were solved without going through them, how could you enjoy the result.
* You didn�t struggle to achieve anything, so how can anything be precious to you.
* You learn from the problems you faced, and do better further, but where have you learnt anything as problem was eliminated.
* This is why life was so tasteless for you though you felt you have done everything.

dissatisfaction is the result of your ambition to jump over difficulties and escape them.

* Problems need to be dealt with and solutions to be searched out. And she left.



The man thought of giving this woolen ball to a needy but now decided to throw it into a pond.

He knew the reason for his unrest, now he is equipped and ever-ready to face the world with a new approach and attitude.

The professionalism & bold character of military

After getting freedom, a meeting was organized to select the first General of the Indian Army. Jawahar Lal Nehru was heading that meeting. Leaders and Army officers were discussing to whom this responsibility should be given.

In between the discussion Nehru said, "I think we should appoint a British officer as a General of Indian Army as we don't have enough experience to lead the same." Everybody supported Nehru because if the PM was suggesting something, how could they not agree?

But one of the army officers abruptly said, "I have a point, sir."Nehru said, "Yes, gentleman. You are free to speak." He said ,"You see, sir, we don't have enough experience to lead a nation too, so shouldn't we appoint a British person as first PM of India?"

The meeting hall suddenly went quiet.Then, Nehru said, "Are you ready to be the first General of the Indian Army ?" He got a golden chance to accept the offer but he refused the same and said, "Sir, we have a very talented army officer, my senior, Lt. Gen. Cariappa, who is the most deserving among us." The army officer who raised his voice against the PM was Lt. General Nathu Singh Rathore, the 1st Lt. General of the Indian Army.

That is the professionalism and character the military is made of .................

Please create awareness about it

Yesterday only I came to know of a case from a friend of mine which is very scary. One of his friends was traveling to UK via Dubai . Unfortunately he was carrying a packet of Khas Khas which is a commonly used spice in some Indian curries and sweets. Khas Khas is also known as poppy seed which can be sprouted to grow narcotics (afeem etc.).

This innocent person did not know that recently the laws in UAE and other Gulf countries have been revised and carrying Khas Khas is punishable with minimum 20 years of imprisonment or even worse with death penalty. Currently, the person is in a jail in Dubai for the last two weeks. His friends are frantically trying hard for his release but are finding that this has become a very very serious case. Lawyers are asking huge fees amounting to AED 100,000 even to appear in the court to plead for his innocence.

Please forward this email to all you know specially in India . They should know the seriousness of this matter and should never ever carry even minutest quantities of the following items when traveling to Gulf countries:

1. Khas Khas whether raw, roasted or cooked.
2. Paan
3. Beetle nut (supari and its products, e.g. Paan Parag etc.)
The penalties are very severe and it could destroy the life of an innocent person.

I appeal you to create the awareness by spreading this information all you know.

A PRAISE CAN DO WONDERS

THAT PAPER

After a war, martyr soldiers’ bodies were sent to their homeland.

Many people had come to see a soldier’s body kept in a coffin open.

He looked relaxed, content, and proud to give away his life for a noble cause.

His friends, relatives, and many others came to pay homage for his magnificent service.

His primary school teacher too had come there. As she was one of those who came early, she was given a small piece of paper that was kept in his Wallet.

It was very old and contained some writings that were getting feeble over time.

She recollected the incident of her class, an activity she got it done in their class.

The students were asked to write one good quality of each one in their class.

The teacher then took efforts to re-write all the qualities written by each student about every individual, making sure to write who wrote that.

This was given to each student to know what quality in him classmates praise individually.

All students were happy to see 27 praises from a class of 28.

The teacher completed her activity hoping to boost the morale of each child.

Tears rolled in her eyes but out of gratification that this small piece of paper was kept with him till the end.

Another person, the soldier’s friend recognized his teacher and showed his piece of paper kept carefully in his briefcase.

A woman came closer to them and told that her husband too kept that paper very carefully and reads it whenever he feels lonely.

And the place saw many such people come with that paper, and....All 27!
