We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are. --- Anais Nin Destiny is not matter of chance. It is a matter of choice . It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved. --- Willam Jennings Bryan All wisdom can be stated in tow lines; what is done for you- allow it to be done. What you must do yourself -make sure you do it. ----- Khawwas What you love, you empower and what you fear, you empower and what you empower, you attract. -----Anonymous When we are no longer able to change a situation , we are challenged to change ourselves . --Vikotr Franki The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone. - ---Harriet Beecher Stowe Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant. - Horace Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory .- ---- Betty Smith

One day, the sage gave the disciple an empty sack and a basket of potatoes. "Think of all the people who have done or said something against you in the recent past, especially those you cannot forgive. For each of them, inscribe the name on a potato and put it in the sack." The disciple came up quite a few names, and soon his sack was heavy with potatoes. "Carry the sack with you wherever you go for a week," said the sage. "We'll talk after that." At first, the disciple thought nothing of it. Carrying the sack was not particularly difficult. But after a while, it became more of a burden. It sometimes got in the way, and it seemed to require more effort to carry as time went on, even though its weight remained the same. After a few days, the sack began to smell. The carved potatoes gave off a ripe odor. Not only were they increasingly inconvenient to carry around, they were also becoming rather unpleasant. Finally, the week was over. The sage summoned t...

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticise me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you. ----William A Ward I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin. ----Antoine de Saint-Exupery Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. ----Winston Churchill Any fool can criticise, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving. ---Dale Carnegie Three-quarters of the miseries and misunderstandings in the world would finish if people were to put on the shoes of their adversaries and understood their points of view. --M K Gandhi

Eagles were the symbol of almost all conquerors be it Caesar or Hitler. The reason is....!! Read on..... Inspiration on the "7 Principles of an Eagle", Author Dr. Myles Monroe 1. Eagles fly alone at a high altitude and not with sparrows or mix with other smaller birds like geese. Birds of a feather flock together. No other bird goes to the height of the eagle. Eagles fly with eagles. Never in a flock. Even when Moses (Old Testament Bible) went to commune with God on the mountain, he left the crowd at the foothills. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles fly with eagles 2. Eagles have strong vision, which focuses up to 5 kilometers from the air. When an eagle sites prey- even a rodent from this distance, he narrows his focus on it and sets out to get it. No matter the obstacle, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed. 3. Eagles do not eat dead things. He feeds on fr...

A Better Way ! A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognised his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write ?” The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “ Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it .” Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simpl...

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. This story teaches two lessons:- There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and hel...

I just finished reading the book- The Monk who sold his Ferrari .A nice book, it talks about finding the meaning of life and working towards achieving it. Itz a story of Julian Mantle, a lawyer forced to confront the spiritual crisis of his out-of-balance life. He travls to India, meets the saints and discovers powerful, wise, and practical lessons that change his life. Here is a blog that talks about the learnings from the book. Robin Sharma, Some of the quotations in the book hit me hard. Here are a few: Wage war against weaker thoughts that have crept into the palace of your mind. They will see they are unwanted and leave like unwelcome visitors. Everything is always created twice first in your mind then in reality. Act as if failure is impossible, and your success will be assured. Wipe out every thought of not achieving your objectives, whether they are material or spiritual. Be brave, and set no limits on the workings of your imagination. Never be a prisoner of your past. Become...
