the Beauty of Human Relations!

A man married a beautiful girl. He loved her very much. One day she developed a skin disease. Slowly she started to lose her beauty. It so happened that one day her husband left for a tour. While returning he met with an accident and lost his eyesight. However their married life continued as usual. But as days passed she lost her beauty gradually. Blind husband did not know this and there  was not any difference in their married life. He continued to love her and she also loved him very much.

One day she died. Her death brought him great sorrow. He finished all her last rites and wanted to leave that town. A man from behind called and said, now how will you be able to walk all alone? All these days your wife used to help you. He replied, I am not blind. I was acting,  because if she knew l could see her ugliness it would have pained her more than her disease. So I pretended to be blind. She was a very good wife. I only wanted to keep her happy.

Moral:- Some times it is good for us to act blind and ignore one another's short comings, in order to be happy.

No matter how many times the teeth bite the tongue, they still stay together in one mouth. That's the spirit of FORGIVENESS. Even though the eyes don't see each other, they see things together, blink simultaneously and cry together. That's UNITY." May the Lord grant us all the spirit of forgiveness and togetherness.

 1.''Alone I can 'Say' but together we can 'talk'.

 2. "Alone I can 'Enjoy' but together we can celebrate.

 3. 'Alone I can 'Smile' but together we can 'Laugh'.

That's the BEAUTY of Human Relations. We are nothing without each other. STAY CONNECTED.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The razor blade is sharp but can't cut a tree; the axe is strong but can't cut the hair.

MORAL: Everyone is important according to his/her unique purpose. Never look down on anyone unless you are admiring their shoes.

What is the most Important part of the Body ?

One day my mother used to ask me : "What is the most Important part of the body?”

Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct Answer. When I was younger, I thought Sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."

She said : "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon..”

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer.

So this time I told her, "Mom, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes…”

She looked at me and told me : "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.."

Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was : "NO..” But you are getting smarter every year, my Child..”

Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry.

My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my Grandfather. She asked me : "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear.?” I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me.

She saw the confusion on my face and told me : "This question is very Important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why.

But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson…”

She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said : "My Dear, the most important body part is your shoulder…”

I asked :  "Is it because it holds up My Head.?”

She replied : "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they Cry. Everybody Needs A Shoulder To Cry On. Sometime In Life, My Dear, I Only Hope That You Have Enough Love And Friends That You Will Always Have A Shoulder To Cry On When You Need It..”

Then and there I knew the most Important body part is not a Selfish One. It is made for others and not for yourself. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. BUT, People Will NEVER Forget How You Made Them FEEL.

Good friends Are like Stars…You don’t Always See Them. But you always Know They Are There.

How would you like to be remembered?

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him.

The obituary read, “Dynamite King Dies.” And also “He was the merchant of death.” This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words “merchant of death,” he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?” He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered.

From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.

Alfred Nobel 1833-1896

Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honouring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace. The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize.

Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back an do the same.

What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? Will you be spoken well of? Will you be remembered with love and respect? Will you be missed?

We always ask, "What Is Life?" It is said that Life is from B to D. From Birth to Death. But what’s between B and D? It’s a “C”. So what is a “C”? It is a Choice. Our Life is a matter of choices, Live well and it will never GO WRONG.

Enjoy your life at every moment !

Once a fisherman was sitting near seashore, under the shadow of a tree smoking his beedi. Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and enquired as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough fishes for the day.

Hearing this the rich man got angry and said: Why don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting in shadow wasting your time?

Fisherman asked: What would I do by catching more fishes?

Businessman: You could catch more fishes, sell them and earn more money, and buy a bigger boat.

Fisherman: What would I do then?

Businessman: You could go fishing in deep waters and catch even more fishes and earn even more money.

Fisherman: What would I do then?

Businessman: You could buy many boats and employ many people to work for you and earn even more money.

Fisherman: What would I do then?

Businessman: You could become a rich businessman like me.

Fisherman: What would I do then?

Businessman: You could then enjoy your life peacefully.

Fisherman: What do you think I’m doing right now?

MORAL–You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life. You don’t even need to be more rich, more powerful to enjoy life. Life is at this moment, enjoy it fully.

As some great men have said “My riches consist not in extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants.

Never Never give up..Till you are alive!

Have you ever observed the behaviour of birds in the face of adversity ? For days and days they make their nest, sometimes gathering materials brought from far away.

And when they have completed the nest and are ready to lay eggs, the weather or the work of humans, or some animal, destroys it, and it falls to the ground, all that they have done with so much effort.

Do they stop? Bewildered, and leave their work ? No Way !!

They start over building the nest again and again until they have eggs in the nest again. Sometimes, and very often before the chicks are hatched, an animal, a child, or a storm destroys the nest once again, but this time with its valuable contents. It hurts to go back and begin again.....

Even so, the birds do not stop, they continue to sing and build , and keep singing and building. Do you sometimes get the feeling that your life, your work, your family is not what you had dreamed. Do you sometimes want to say 'ENOUGH', the effort is not worthwhile. It is all too much for me! Are you tired of it all? Do you feel that the daily struggle is a waste of time, your trust has been betrayed, your goals not reached just as you were about to get them ? Life strikes you down sometimes, but keep moving, say a prayer, put your faith in hope, not darkness? Do not worry Gather yourself together and rebuild your life, so that it runs well again. No matter what happens......Never give up till you are alive.
