Piya married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Piya’s mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook With Rs.1000 deposit amount.

Mother: Piya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there’s something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it’s about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I’ve done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.

Live Life

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present.

The result being that he does not live in the present or future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Pencil: “I’m sorry….”

Eraser: “For what? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Pencil: “I’m sorry coz you get hurt becoz 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.”

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.

He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, “How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom… it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

It is not work that kills men, it is worry……

Work is healthy;

        you can hardly put more on a man than he         can bear

                But worry is rust upon the blade.

 

 

             It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.
