Friendship & Values……

Two friends were walking
through the desert. During some
point of the journey they had an argument, and
one friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt,
but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis,

where they decided to take a bath. The one who
had been slapped got stuck in the mire and
started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near

drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and
saved his best friend asked him,

“After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone,
why?” The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should
write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.
But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave
it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND
AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them,

a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
Send this phrase to the people you’ll never
forget. It’s a short message to let them know that you’ll never forget them.

The Black Spot

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions….

Just a black dot in the center of the page.

The professor seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following:
“I want you to write what you see there.”

The students confused, got started on the inexplicable task.

At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no exceptions, described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. etc. etc. After all had been read, the classroom silent,

The professor began to explain: “I am not going to grade on you this, I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper.

Everyone focused on the black dot – and the same happens in our lives.
We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate – nature renewing itself everyday, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see everyday…….

However we insist on focusing only on the dark spots – the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend etc
The dark spots are very small compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.

Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you.

Be happy and live a life positively!

Swami Vivekananda Quotes

Success

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”

Power

“All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do anything and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you.”

Greatest sin

“The greatest sin is to think yourself weak”

Live alone

“They alone live, who live for others.”

Thoughts

“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”

Believe in God

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.”

Stop not

“Arise, awake, and stop not until your goal is achieved.”

Condemn none

“Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.”

Risks

“Take Risks in Your Life If u Win, U Can Lead! If u Lose, U Can Guide!”

Astrology

“Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind; therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food, and rest.”

Your heart ?

 What should you  do when someone break your heart?

1. Cry you heart out. Get a bag of tissue rolls and let your
    tears speak of what pain no one else could fully understand.

2. Call a trusted friend and confide to him/her your hurts. Cry again.

3. Rest for a while. Don’t let your tears dry out, it would be
    difficult later on if you run out of tears to release the heaviness you feel in your heart.

4. Call you mother, Share if anything you want to share. (Edited as I wont agree as in source)

5. Eat chocolate. Whoever says that life can’t be bittersweet?

6. Even if you don’t feel like it, go to the gym and hit that treadmill.
    Release all your pent up energies. You’ll feel better.

7. Have some more sleep, cuddle a cute teddy bear, the one your boyfriend did not give you!

8. Set your alarm clock to avoid oversleeping. Use three clocks if you must so
    you won’t cheat by turning it off and just going back to sleep.
    Put two clocks beyond your reach so you’d really need to get up to turn it off.

9. Search your all DVD files and watch every comedy film you can find.
    I know, you’re almost sure you won’t laugh anyway, but just do this for the
    sake of doing something for now. Give Mr. Bean a chance okay?

10. Search your DVDs again. This time, look for tragic and war movies,
    films like “The Pianist” or “Schindler’s List”. You might feel a bit thankful
    after watching the terrible troubles of people living during those times.

11. Call another friend. Tell her to keep watch and just call you once in a while.

LOVE is not about making
Your LOVER yours at any cost...

-----------------------------

When you wait for someone for few
MINUTES, It's your NEED..!!

When you wait for someone for few
HOURS, It's your TRUST..!!

When you wait for someone for few
WEEKS, It's your FRIENDSHIP..!!

But if you are waiting for someone... Even after Knowing that he/she will
Never come, It’s Your LOVE...!!!

WOMAN. . . . . . . . .

  
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.......

An angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time on her ?".
                                       
The lord answered. " Have you seen all the  specifications I have to meet to shape her?".....

she must function on all kinds of situations....,

she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,

give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart ,

she must do all this with only two hands,.."

She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day".... ...    
                                                                                   
THE ANGEL was impressed. .." Just two hands.....impossible !" ..

And this is the standard model ? ! ...."

The Angel came closer and touched the woman"......  ..

." But you have made her so soft, Lord".....

." She is soft", said the Lord,

" But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome "...

."Can she think?" The Angel asked...

The Lord answered. " Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate" ...

The Angel touched her cheeks.....

 " Lord, it seems this creation is leaking !  You have put too many burdens on her. " ...

."She is not leaking...it is a tear" The Lord corrected the Angel...

" What's it for?" Asked the Angel..... .

The Lord said. " Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."...

THIS made a big impression on the Angel,

" Lord, you are genius. You thought of everything.

A  woman is indeed marvelous !".... ...

Lord said." Indeed she is.

She has strength that amazes a man.

She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.

She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when she feels like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.

Her love is unconditional.

Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies

but she finds strength to get on with life." ..

The Angel asked : So she is a perfect ?

The lord replied : No. She has just one drawback

"She often forgets what she is worth".

Share it to all the women u respect ....👍
