You can...


One day, the young  lion asked his mom: "Mom, where is the happiness?" Mom  replied: "It's on your tail." So the young lion keeps on chasing after his tail. But after a whole day of  trying, he  failed to get the happiness that was on his tail. Then he  told his mom about this, his mom smiled and said: "Son, you  don't really   need to chase after your happiness, as long as you keep going and moving forward, your happiness will  always be with you..Wish everyone of you find your  happiness.

You can't decide the length of life, but  you can control how you want to live it. You can't  control the weather, but you can control your mood. You  can't change your look, but you can smile.You can't  control others, but you can control yourself. You can't  foresee tomorrow, but you can utilize today wisely. You  can't win everything, but you can try your very best to  achieve that. 

Hope everyone can face the daily life  positively and always happy...

Hiding god from man



There was once a time when all human beings were Gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma decided to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be found. Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a council of the Gods to help him decide. "Let's bury it deep in the Earth, " offered the Gods. But Brahma answered, "No, that will not do, because humans will dig into the Earth and find it." Then the Gods said, "Let's sink it in the deepest ocean." But Brahma responded, "No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it." Then the Gods said, "Let's take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there." But once again Brahma replied, "No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity." Then the Gods gave up and lamented, "We do not know where to hide it, because it  seems that there is no place on Earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach." Brahma thought for a long time and then proffered, "Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there." All the Gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and the deed was done. And since that time humans have been going up and down the Earth, digging, diving, climbing and exploring--searching for something already within themselves.

Ten Commandments to Follow in Life


Someone has written these beautiful words….

They are like the Ten Commandments to Follow in Life, all the time........ 

1. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble,  but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout. 

2. So why is a car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small?  Because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on.

3. Friendship is like a book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.

4. All things in life are temporary. If it’s going well, enjoy it,that won't last long.  If it’s going badly, don't worry, that won't last long either. 

5. Old friends are gold! New friends are diamond! If you get a diamond, don't forget the gold! Because to hold a diamond, you always need a base of gold! 

6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from  above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!"

7. When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities;  when God doesn't solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities. 

8. A blind person asked St. Anthony, "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!" 

9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you. 

10. Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace .

Learn from Mistakes




Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”

Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”
