The Lovely Ten.....

Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark...

ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

 

   

Life is Nothing without Friends..........

My Mom always told me that we could never measure our wealth by money but by our friends. She would surely be glad to meet you and know how rich I turned out to be!
Tiny but wonderful seeds of blessings are sprinkled on earth each day...and I just caught one that's so nice and true..
And it's you!

I may have forgotten to say that I care. I may have failed to open up and share, but though no words have been spoken, my promise of friendship won't be broken .
Time and distance are important between friends. When a friend is in your heart, they remain there forever. I may be busy, but I assure you, you are always in my heart!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them; I'd be at the bottom to catch them.

One tree can start a forest, one smile can start a friendship.
One touch can show you care, one friend can make life worth living for. 

  

Effortless.......

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town

with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days.

While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake.

They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples,



"I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there.

The disciple walked up to the lake.

When he reached it, he noticed that right at that moment,

a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water

became very muddy, very turbid.

The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to

drink!"

So he came back and told Buddha,

"The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."

After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple

to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink.

The disciple obediently went back to the lake.

This time too he found that the lake was muddy.

He returned and informed Buddha about the same.

After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

The disciple reached the lake to find the lake absolutely clean

and clear with pure water in it.

The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had.

So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and

said," See what you did to make the water clean.

You let it be.... and the mud settled down on its own - and you got clear

water.

Your mind is also like that!

When it is disturbed, just let it be.

Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own.

You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down.

It will happen. It is effortless.



" What did Buddha emphasize here?

He said, "It is effortless."

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job;

it is an effortless process!

Keep smiling not because of something,

but in spite of everything.

Being a Good person .....

Being a Good person is like being a goal keeper.

no matter how many goals we save,

people will remember only the ones that we missed.

That's the truth about life.
