Abraham Lincoln's Letter to his son's Teacher

He will have to learn, I know,
that all men are not just,
all men are not true.
But teach him also that
for every scoundrel there is a hero;
that for every selfish politician,
there is a dedicated leader.

Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.
It will take time, I know;
but teach him to learn to lose,
and also to enjoy winning.

Steer him away from envy, if you can,
teach him the secret of quiet laughter.
Let him learn early that
the bullies are the easiest to lick.

Teach him, if you can,
the wonder of books;
but also give him quiet time
to ponder the eternal mystery of
birds in the sky, and flowers on a green hillside.

In school, teach him
it is far more honourable to fail
than to cheat.

Teach him to have faith in his
own ideas,
even if everyone tells him they
are wrong.

Teach him to be gentle with gentle
people, and tough with the tough.

Try to give my son
the strength not to follow the crowd
when everyone is getting on the band wagon.

Teach him to listen to all men
but teach him also to filter all
on a screen of truth, and to
take only the good that comes through.

Teach him, if you can,
how to laugh when he is sad.
Teach him there is no shame in tears.

Teach him to scoff at cynics
and to beware of too much sweetness.
Teach him to sell his brawn
and brain to the highest bidders,
but never to put a price tag
on his heart and soul.

Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob,
and to stand and fight
if he thinks he's right.

Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him,
because only the test of fire
makes fine steel.

Let him have the courage to be impatient;
let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always
to have sublime faith in himself,
because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind.

This is a big order, but see
what you can do.
He is such a fine little fellow, my son.

EVEN TODAY THESE LINES ARE STRONG TO CONVEY THE ESSENCE OF EMOTIONS, VALUES AND ETHICS.  ONE SHOULD EXPERIENCE IT.

Time Management

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Learn how to separate the majors and the minors.  A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things.

Don't mistake movement for achievement.  It's easy to get faked out by being busy.  The question is: Busy doing what?

Everyone has the same 24 hours a day to use but accomplish more in making the most of those hours by using the skills of scheduling, prioritizing, and setting goals.

Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it rather than invest it.

What counts is not the hours you put in, but how much you put into the hours.

Our days are like suitcases--all the same size; but some people seem to be able to pack more into them than others.

Holding on to hurt is like grabbing a rattlesnake by the tail: You are going to be bitten.

Forgiveness

Forget what hurt you in the past.
But never forget what it taught you.

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
Paul Boese

The weak can never forgive.  Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi

My idea of resentment is letting go of resentment,....ridding yourself of negative thoughts.  All they do is make you miserable.  Believe me, you can fret and fume all you want, but whoever it was that wronged you is not suffering from your anguish whatsoever.
Della Reese

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.
Cherie Carter -Scott

Forgiveness is almost a selfish act because of its immense benefits to the one who forgives.
Lawana Blackwell

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
Thomas Fuller

What Happens In Heaven When We Pray?

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ' This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.   
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.   

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.   
The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.   
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that there is no work going on here?”  I asked.   

"So sad," the angel sighed.  "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments"   

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked?   

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord." 

"What blessings should they acknowledge?"  I asked.   

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy. " 

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity." 

 "If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world..." 

"If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world." "If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare."   

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair..." 

Ok, what now? How can I start?   

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.   

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it."   

I'd rather confess I'm wrong and be right,
than claim I'm right and be wrong.


If you dream to fly with the Eagles, don't waste your time swimming with the ducks.


If the path is beautiful, ask where it leads........
But if the destination is beautiful, don't ask how the path is.


If things ever become too much for you or too hard for you t bear, just ask God to help you.  He'll place His arms under your burdens, lighten your load, and lift your spirit.


If you cannot be a pencil to write anyone's happiness, then try at least to be a nice rubber to erase everyone's sorrows.


If something seems far too big for you to cope with, maybe it's because you're meant to share the load with someone else.


If you want to be a winner, you have to be willing to give it your all.


If you want to be truly happy, live for others.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.


Want a face-life?  Wear a smile.


Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.


We are selfish.  Yet we want others to be generous.


When we are free inside us, we attract others to share this freedom.  A free man can able to create a space not only for himself, but for other people as well.


When you feel like giving up, hold on just a little longer.


When you are tempted to vent your frustrations on some unsuspecting soul, tap your foot softly ten times.
Then with great effort, smile and think of some of your own stupid mistakes.

Set your heart free to fully live and love by leaving behind the hurts of bygone days.

Show your children love, tenderness, gentleness, patience and respect, and they will treat others likewise.

Sin is never in action, it is always in reaction.
Swami Chinmayananda

Someone asked a philosopher: How do you believe that God exists?
His smart answer was: ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE IS NOT THE EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE.

Success springs from calmness of the mind.  It is a cold iron which cuts and bends hot iron.

Success can be dangerous; it can breed arrogance.  Sometimes it's better to fail.  Failure fosters humility, and humility will win you more points with people than arrogance.

Success hugs you in private,
but failure slaps you in public.

Service should not be exhibitionistic, You must seek no reward, not even gratitude or thanks from the recipients.


Silence is the speech of the spiritual seeker.


Silence is not only the absence of sound but also stillness of mind.


Some people's advice will only add vice to your life.


Some people never mature because of the fear of aging, and some because they refuse to accept responsibility.


Sometimes a smile can be like a drop of water in a desert.


Sometimes in life we wear so many masks that it becomes difficult to see your true self.


Sometimes we force others to change because we want them to be how we want them to be.


Sometimes due to jealousy we try to degrade others and in so doing we degrade ourselves.


Successful people never make different things; they make "THINGS DIFFERENTLY."

You cannot make a fool of the one who keeps cool.

You must render service out of spontaneous urge from within, with a heart filled with love.


You cannot see me, but I am the Light you see by
You cannot hear me, but I am the Sound you hear by
You cannot know me, but I am the Truth by which you live.


You can give up when something goes wrong, or you can let misfortune transform you into something better.


Your life is God's gift to you.
What you make of it, is your gift to Him.


Your thoughts play a vital role in shaping your life.


You are three people:
The one you think you are - Body.
The one others think you are - Mind.
The one you really are - Divine.


Your thoughts, speech and actions will bear a seal of full confidence if you are sincere in all your tasks.


Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.
Thomas A. Edison

Kites rise highest against the wind not with it.
Winston Churchill

Knowledge that is not put into practice is like food that is not digested.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard

Leave something for someone but never leave someone for something.  Something may be valuable but someone is invaluable.

Life is a journey;
Heaven is the destination.

Life is like an ice cream:
Enjoy it before it melts.

Life laughs at you when you are unhappy.
Life smiles at you when you are happy.
But life salutes you when you make others happy.
Charlie Chaplin

Light up your own life by lighting up another's.

Looking for answers? There are many ways to gaze__
You can seek within yourself, but might end up in a haze.
Reaching out to others can help give peace of mind.
But in looking up to Heaven, clear direction you will find.

Love is never wasted; it always comes back to you a hundred times over.

Love isn't supposed to be a sideshow in the circus of life.
It's supposed to take up all three rings.

Luck has a peculiar habit of favoring those that don't depend on it.

Keep the Fork

There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. 

Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. "There's one more thing," she said excitedly. 

"What's that?" was the pastor's reply.

"This is very important," the young woman continued. "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand." 

The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say. 

"That surprises you, doesn't it?" the young woman asked.

"Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request," said the pastor. 

The young woman explained. "My grandmother once told me this story, and from there on out, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. 

'In all my years of attending church socials and potluck dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming ... like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!' So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder "What's with the fork?". Then I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork .. the best is yet to come." The pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. 

He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did.
She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming .

At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the pretty dress she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he smiled. 

During his message, the pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. 

The pastor told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. 

He was right. 

So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come. 

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. 

Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be there for them, even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be their time to "Keep your fork." 

Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share. Being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility. 

The Present

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room's only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. 
Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. 
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. 
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. 
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene. 
One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. 
Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind ' s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. 
Days, weeks and months passed. 
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.
She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. 
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. 
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed. 
It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. 
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. 
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. 
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can ' t buy. 
"Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present." 

Have you ever seen a baby porcupine?

Fable of the porcupine It was the coldest   winter ever.  Many animals died because of the   cold.  The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided   to group together.  This way they covered and protected   themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest   companions even though they gave off heat to each other.    After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one   from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen.    So they had to make a choice:  Either accept the quills of   their companions or disappear from the Earth.  Wisely,   they decided to go back to being together.  This way they   learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by the   close relationship with their companion, but the most   important part of it, was the heat that came from the others.    This way they were able to survive.   Moral of the   story: The best relationship is not the one that brings   together perfect people, but the best is when each individual   learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire   the other person's good qualities. The Moral of the story!  LEARN TO LOVE THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE.

 

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.


A generous heart will quickly become a precious heart.


A kind word spoken can make another's day.
A kind word not spoken leaves an empty hole.


A merry heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit can make you sick.


A wise man will take stock of his life once in a while by asking,
What am I doing to help people?
What will I be remembered for?
Am I making a difference by making others' lives better, richer or happier?


Always remember you're unique - just like everyone else.


Any one can learn to be a good speaker, but how many live in a manner that others can learn from.


Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.


All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.


As long as you can carry on one more moment, you'll never be defeated.

LOWERY'S LAW

If it jams, force it
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

ZUMWALT'S FIRST LAW

The probability of failure is directly proportional to the number and importance of the people watching the test.

DOBBINS LAW

When in doubt, use a bigger hammer.

EVERITT'S FORM OF THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS:

Confusion (Entropy) is always increasing in society. Only if someone or some thing works extremely hard can this confusion be reduced to order in a limited region. Nevertheless, this effor will still result in an increase in the total confution of society at large.

JONES LAW:

The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.

MATSCHS MAMIM:

A fool at a high station is like a man at the top of a high mountain - everything appears small to him and he appears small to everybody.

DESIDERATA

Go placidly amidst the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons to yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is, many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself, especially do not feign affection, Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of aridity and discontentment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefulyy surrendering the things of youth. Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be; and whatever your labours and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its shams, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rules in Business

Rule 1 - Treat knowledge like any other commodity. Gather it diligently and release it sparingly. The result is an ever increasing stone of knowledge.

Rule 2 - Never underestimate your opponent.

Rule 3 - A buyer must never commit himself to a single source of supply. If this particular buyer had openly maintained an alternative supplier, the seller could never have felt so secure in his negotiations.

Rule 4 - A buyer must always allow himself time to break off negotiations and change course in mid stream. Even where the buyer has no alternative supplier currently available, if he has time, he can find one. And if he uses time to keep the supplier both waiting and uncertain, it can only be to his advantage.

Rule 5 - Never allow a salesman in through the back door. Friendship can be costly.

Rule 6 - If it didn't happen in writing it didn't happen at all. Verbal contracts may be legally binding in theory but they are not necessarily enforceable in fact.

Rule 7 - Never be overcome by false sentiment. Because "selling" is an established profession, sales techniques are an accepted fact of Commercial life. A buyer has both the right and duty to use his own techniques provided that only, that they are both legally and morally acceptable.

Rule 8 - Never agree with or be pressurised by the salesman.

Rule 9 - Persistence pays dividends.

Rule 10- Give away nothing easily, and then only at a price.

Teach

That

Lessons from a Japanese story

A 15 year old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move.

"Sensei,"(Teacher in Japanese) the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but fully believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.

Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out.

He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. "No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"

"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength...

Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame our circumstances or ourselves for it but we never know that our weaknesses can become our strengths one day.


"Each of us is special and important, so never think you have any weakness, never think of pride or pain, just live your life to its fullest and extract the best out of it!"

Either the Government must have the capacity to educate and reform the people or the people must have the capacity to educate the Government.

Love will result in surrender & surrender will culminate in faith,
In faith miracles will happen.

There are those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde

There are only two dimensions to the concept of attitude - you either behave as though you are a victim of circumstances, or you take full responsibility for your situation.

There can be no happiness, if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.

There can not be final result until you finish the effort.

There is always a chance to change, but do you take the time off to change.

There is always some good in every situation; all you have to do is look for it.

There is nothing that gives more assurance than a mask.

Things

Think

Those

Those who live unselfishly are those who have a life that's most worth living.

Those who see their limits are those who stop stepping forward.

Those who want to learn listen, those who know it all interrupt.

To

To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.

To be blind does not mean to be in darkness.

To be really independent means not even to lean on excuses.

To remain cheerful, congratulate the self and congratulate others on their specialty.

To show someone that you love them, give them your time.

To succeed in a new field, you have to be willing to fail.

To taste the sweetness of life, you must have the power to forget the past.

Feelings

Once there was an island where all the feelings lived together.

One day there was a storm in the sea & island was about to drown.

Every feeling was scared but LOVE made a boat to escape.

Every feeling borrowed the boat, one feeling was left.

LOVE got down to see who it was. It was EGO.

LOVE tried and tried but EGO didn't move.

Everyone asked LOVE to leave EGO & come in the boat, but LOVE was meant to Love, it remained with EGO.

All the other feeling left alive but LOVE died, because of EGO.

5 things that hold you back in life

If you recognize even one of these things in your own life you need to make a change before it is too late. And remember, we all have the power to make a change, even if it is the hardest thing in the world to do.


1. Fear
Fear is the number one thing that will hold you back in life. And fear comes in primarily two forms:

* fear of failure; and
* fear of success

People who have a lot of fear never end up achieving their goals in life because they are too afraid of what they might achieve or have to go through trying to bring about those achievements.


2. Attachment
The next thing that will hold you back is attachment. This attachment comes in many forms and it is extremely powerful as it is something that humans do very well. The downside, however, is that nothing good ever comes from attachment. It always causes suffering.


3. Arrogance
Some People are extremely arrogant. They think they have all the answers about life and business and religion. The problem is they are all really unhappy. It is strongly believed that if they just take a few minutes to get out of their own way they could begin to discover a lot more in life.

Never assume that you have all the answers. Always ask questions and keep a sense of curiosity. Even the most learned people like Albert Einstein and the Dalai Lama keep a sense of humility because they realize that there is still so much to be learned and discovered.


4. Dogma
Dogma is a very dangerous thing. It is where you become so blinded to a way of thinking that you are closed off to all other possibilities. It is where you accept something as fact without taking the time to really establish whether or not it accurate. And, like all things here today, dogma is holding you back in a big way. Dogma, especially religious dogma, stops you from finding the real “juice” of the subject. When you are dogmatic about your religion you lose touch of the essence as you are so caught up in defending your own position, even to yourself. Religion, in its truest sense, is supposed to make you more open and spacious, not less. Avoid dogma if you want to grow internally.


5. Money
The quest to earn more money holds you back as much as anything does. The journey to be financially free has ruined more people’s chance at happiness than anything else. Don’t let money hold you back in life. If you find that you are putting work ahead of family, spirituality or other more genuine pursuits in life then you need to make a change. It will be a source of regret in the future.

Most of the time it is your own negative emotions that hold you back in life. The opportunities for happiness and success are out there, you just need to make sure you are willing and able to get them.

NATURE runs a restaurant named KARMA.  No need to place any order here.  We are served Automatically what we deserve.
