GOOD PHILOSOPHY

 GOOD PHILOSOPHY

 (Good or Bad...But Sure Thought Provoking & Can Be used For Self
Realization & Corrective Methods of Thyself)


1. EVERY ONE  KNOWS  ABOUT  ALEXANDER  GRAHAM 
  BELL   WHO  INVENTED PHONES,

    BUT  HE  NEVER  MADE  A  CALL  TO  HIS  FAMILY. 
 
 BECAUSE HIS WIFE
AND  DAUGHTER  WERE  DEAF.

    THAT'S  LIFE  -  
   " LIVE  FOR  OTHERS " .

2.  THE   WORST  IN  LIFE  IS  "ATTACHMENT " IT   HURTS  WHEN
  YOU  LOSE IT.

     THE   BEST  THING  IN  LIFE  IS " LONELINESS "
  BECAUSE  IT TEACHES
     YOU EVERYTHING  AND  WHEN  YOU  LOSE  IT  YOU
 GET EVERYTHING.

3.  LIFE  IS  NOT  ABOUT  THE  PEOPLE  WHO  ACT  TRUE
TO  YOUR  FACE

       ..... ITS  ABOUT  THE  PEOPLE  WHO  REMAIN  TRUE
  BEHIND  YOUR  BACK .

4..  EGG  BROKEN  FROM  OUTSIDE  FORCE........
 
A  LIFE ENDS.

     IF AN  EGG  BREAKS  FROM  WITHIN........LIFE  BEGINS ..

     GREAT THINGS  ALWAYS  BEGAN  FROM   WITHIN .

5.  ITS  BETTER  TO  LOSE  YOUR  EGO  TO  THE  ONE  YOU
  LOVE THAN  TO

     LOSE  THE  ONE  YOU  LOVE ........
 
BECAUSE  OF   EGO .

6.   A  RELATIONSHIP  DOESN'T  SHINE  BY  JUST  SHAKING 
 HANDS  IN  GOOD TIMES.

      BUT  IT  BLOSSOMS  BY  HOLDING  FIRMLY  IN  CRITICAL
  SITUATIONS .

7. HEATED GOLD BECOMES ORNAMENTS.
 
BEATEN COPPER  BECOMES  WIRES.

    DEPLETED STONE  BECOMES  STATUE..  
 
SO MORE PAIN, MORE GAIN (VALUABLE).

8.  WHEN  YOU  TRUST  SOMEONE  TRUST  HIM
  COMPLETELY 
 WITHOUT  ANY
     DOUBT..............  
 
AT  THE  END  YOU  WOULD  GET  ONE  OF  THE  TWO :

     EITHER  A  LESSON  FOR  YOUR  LIFE  OR  A
  VERY  GOOD  PERSON .

9. WHY  WE  HAVE  SO  MANY TEMPLES , IF  GOD  IS  EVERYWHERE ?

    A WISE  MAN  SAID : AIR  IS  EVERYWHERE, BUT  WE STILL  NEED  A
FAN TO FEEL IT .

      Without GOD , our week would be:

       Sinday, Mournday, Tearsday, Wasteday,

       Thirstday, Fightday & Shatterday.

       Remember seven days WITHOUT GOD makes
 one WEAK!!

    Thought of sharing this with you guys,
I was touched with all the
phrases and thought you would too.

a beautiful message...

Here is a short story with a beautiful message... 
Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. 
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 
'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.' 
The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.' 
'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father. 
'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl. 

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, 
chances are that I may let your hand go. 
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, 
you will never let my hand go.' 


In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, 


but in its bond. 

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours... 
This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings. 

A leader should know how to manage failure

(Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam at Wharton India Economic forum , Philadelphia , March 22,2008 )

Question: Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure?
Kalam: Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India 's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India 's 'Rohini' satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal.
By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked.. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal . It was a big failure.
That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish D hawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am , and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India ]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed.. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.
The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite -- and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, 'You conduct the press conference today.'
I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.. ....

pressure is what turns a lump of coal into a diamond

An old legend says that God first created birds without wings. Sometime later, God made wings and said to the birds, "Come, take up these burdens and bear them."
The birds hesitated at first, but soon obeyed. They tried picking up the wings in their beaks, but found them too heavy. Then they tried picking them up with their claws, but found them too large. Finally one of the birds managed to get the wings hoisted onto its shoulders where it was possible to carry them. To the amazement of the birds, before long the wings began to grow and they soon had attached themselves to the bodies of the birds.
One of the birds began to flap his wings and others followed his example. Shortly afterwards, one of the birds took off and began to soar in the air above. What had once been a heavy burden now became the very thing that enabled the birds to go where they could never go before...and at the same time, truly fulfill the destiny of their creation.
The duties and responsibilities you count as burdens today may be part of God's destiny for your life, the means by which your soul is lifted up and prepared for eternity.
Don't be afraid of pressure. Remember that pressure is what turns a lump of coal into a diamond.
You know the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

someone who understands.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell.
He painted a sign advertising the pups n set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard.. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls.
He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment.
Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.
"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"
"Sure," said the farmer.
And with that he let out a whistle,"Here, Dolly!" he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.
The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence.
His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller.
Down the ramp it slid.
Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling towards the others, doing its best to catch up....
"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy.
He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers.
In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.
Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands. "

*****So,friends. ..The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

Try to catch the message & just enjoy...!!!
