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.”

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.

With four family members visiting, my wife was very busy, and I offered to go to the store to get some stuff — light bulbs, paper towels, trash bags, detergents…
I scurried around the store, gathered up my shopping and headed for the checkout counter, only to be blocked in the narrow aisle by a young man who appeared to be about sixteen.
I wasn’t in a hurry, and patiently waited for the boy to realize that I was there. He waved his hands excitedly in the air and declared loudly, “Mommy, I’m here.”
It was obvious that he was mentally challenged. He was startled as he turned and saw me standing so close to him, waiting to squeeze by. His eyes widened and surprise exploded on his face as I said, “Hey Buddy, what’s your name?”
“My name is Denny and I’m shopping with my mother,” he responded proudly.

Thought to ponder:
Any machinery, once it is set, remains set and automatically continues to work according to its setting. To have the right thought right in the beginning of the day is to ensure that the whole day is filled with power and positivity. Every thought, word and deed will
automatically continue according to that setting. Situations might
come to disturb, but because the machinery is set, the influence of
the situation would be less.
Point to Practice:
Today I will begin my day with a one powerful thought. It could be
even a simple thought like “I am happy today” or “Whatever I set out
to do today, I will be successful” or “I am fortunate”. Such thoughts
act as magnets attracting positivity from everyone and everything
around.

People are often unreasonable, illogical,
and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some
false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

God won’t ask the square footage of your house, but He’ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet, but He’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.
God won’t ask how many friends you had, but He’ll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but He’ll ask how you treated your neighbors.
Think about this. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.
1.At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2.At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3.A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.
4.Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
5.You mean the world to someone.

Thinking hard about life
How it changed from college life to strict professional life….
How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks
but then why it gives less happiness..
How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe
but then why there are less people to use them
How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger
But then why there is less hunger…
Here i am sitting in my office @ night.

I think everyone might have read about Mom’s, Wife’s and Girl’s…
Its time to learn something abt Men…
Who is a boy / man ? A boy /man is one of the most beautiful creations of God.
He starts compromising at very tender age. He sacrifices his chocolates for his sister.
Later he sacrifices his love for just a smile on his parents face.
He sacrifices his love for his wife and children by working late nights.
He builds their future by taking loans from banks and then repaying them for the life time.
Thus he sacrifices full youth for his wife and children without any complain.

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
“There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.”
“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.”
“Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.”
“If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.”
