Life...

It is not necessary to believe in God to be a good person. In a way, the traditional notion of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but not religious. It is not necessary to go to church and give money - for many, nature can be a church. Some of the best people in history did not believe in God, while some of the worst deeds were done in His name. - Pope Francis

Every morning comes with this promise:
Give the wings of effort to your dreams
And your life will be full of bliss.

It's by love that we serve.
It's by patience that we understand.
It's by trials that we gain wisdom.
It's by sharing that we become a blessing.

The sweetest moment in life comes not with the greetings you receive but with the thought that someone wishes the best for you everyday.
Count me as one of the well-wishers who wish the very best for you everyday.

Life is like a flute.
It may have many holes and emptiness
But if you work on it carefully...
It can play magical melodies!

Every little smile can touch somebody's heart
No one is born happy
But all of us are born with the ability to create happiness
Be happy always!

If we want to live happy and calm...

1. Don't compare with others - we don't know the trials and tribulations of life they went through.

2. Don't think negative over matters we can't control - instead focus on what we have: time, money etc and matters we can positively be able to settle.

3. Don't do things beyond our capability - that's too obsessed.

4. Don't be too emotional - ignore any sarcasm, criticism or cold response.

5. Don't waste time on unhealthy or baseless gossips - you have much better and useful things to do.

6. Don't put off any problems - overcome them and stress free of yourself.

7. Don't envy people - most dreams can come true if you try your best.

8. Don't keep grudges - past is past. It only hurts your happiness.

9. Don't hate anyone - life is short.

10. Don't belittle yourself - count your blessings.

11. Don't blame people for your unhappiness - you are the one to strive for joy.

12. Don't be discouraged by failure - life is like a school. You need to work hard and not easily give up.

13. Don't sorrow yourself - laughter is the best medicine.

14. Don't expect every win in every debate or argument - be reasonable.

Respect everyone around you

There was a woman who worked at a meat factory. One day, while she was finishing her daily tasks, she went into the cold storage room, however unfortunately for her the door closed behind her and she was trapped in the room without any key or tools that could help her out. No matter how she shouted and knocked on the door as hard as she could, there was nobody who could hear her. Most of the workers have since gone home, and it was quite impossible to hear her from outside the cold storage room.

5 hours later, as she was in the last breath of her life, the factory security guard came to her rescue and opened the cold storage room door. She was fortunately saved from death on that day. The woman thanked the security guard and later asked him why did he happen to open the cold storage door on that day even though it was not part of his routine daily job.

The security guard answered, 'I have been working in this factory for 35 years. There are hundreds of workers that walk in and out everyday, but you are one of the few who will greet me in the morning and bid me goodbye at the end of the day as you leave, everyday. Most of them treat me as though I have never existed.

Today, just like usual when you came to work this morning, you greeted me with a simple 'Hello'. However this evening after working hours, I found it weird as I did not see you or hear a 'goodbye, see you tomorrow' from you. Hence I decided to check around the factory.

Everyday I hope to hear 'hi' and 'bye' from you, because you reminded me that I am still a human. As I have not heard the goodbye greeting from you today, I sensed that something might have happened. That is why I looked for you all around the factory.'

Lesson:
Be a humble, caring person and respect every person around you. Try to be an influence to any person through the journey of your life, as you never know what will happen in the future. Let this story be an inspiration.

Thoughts on life...

Past is a waste paper,
Present is a newspaper,
Future is a question paper,
So, read and write carefully
Otherwise life will be tissue paper...

Never blame anyone in your life.
The good people give you happiness.
The bad people give you experience.
The worst people give you a lesson.
The best people give you memories.

Time can make us forget some memories, but there will be some memories where we forget time..
And those memories will make the life sweeter.

It's by love that we serve.
It's by patience that we understand.
It's by trials that we gain wisdom.
It's by sharing that we become a blessing.

Very Nice Definition of TIME

Time is slow when you wait!
Time is fast when you are late!
Time is deadly when you are sad!
Time is short when you are happy!
Time is endless when you are in pain!
Time is long when you feel bored!
Every time, time is determined by your feelings and your psychological conditions and not by clocks.
So have a nice time always.

Points to Ponder

If you're going to stay, stay forever.
If you're going to change, change for the better.
And if you're going to talk, make sure you mean what you say.

We think there is enough time to live, but we never know which moment is the last.
So share, care, love and celebrate every moment of life.

A strong and positive attitude creates more miracles than any other thing because life is 10% how you make it and 90% how you take it.

Satisfaction in life is more important than success
Because our success is measured by others
But our satisfaction is measured by our own mind and heart.


Be humble, responsible, sensible

No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement.

Give others the privilege to explain themselves.

What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.

Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.

Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.

Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.

Those who apologises first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.

Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.

Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.

Those who take out time to chat with you, does not mean they are jobless or less busy, but they know the importance of keeping in touch.

One day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything and nothing; the dreams that we had.

Days will pass by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare... One day our children will see our pictures and ask, 'Who are these people?' And we will smile with invisible tears because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say, 'It was them that I had the best days of my life with.'

Life is just a moment

A man died...

When he realised it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in His hand.

Dialogue between God and Dead Man:

God: Alright son, it's time to go.

Man: So soon? I had a lot of plans...

God: I am sorry but it's time to go.

Man: What do you have in that suitcase?

God: Your belongings.

Man: My belongings? You mean my things... clothes... money...

God: Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth.

Man: Is it my memories?

God: No. They belong to Circumstance.

Man: Is it my friends and family?

God: No son. They belong to the Path you travelled.

Man: Is it my wife and children?

God: No, they belong to your Heart.

Man: Then it must be my body.

God: No no... it belongs to Dust.

Man: Then surely it must be my Soul!

God: You are sadly mistaken son. Your soul belongs to me.

Man with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from God's hand and opened it...

It was empty.

With heart broken and tears down his cheek he asked God...

Man: I never owned anything?

God: Your Moments. Every moment you lived was yours.

Do good in every moment
Think good in every moment
Thank God for every moment.

Life is just a moment.

习近平总统的夫人给孩子们的劝告

孩子的分数,永远不如教孩子学会感恩、学会做人重要!

孩子正确的金钱观,家长如何培养呢?

把财富留给孩子,还不如把孩子变成财富!

所以,留给孩子千万财产,还不如留给他这些:

1。孩子,你一定要学会做饭。这与侍候人无关。在爱你的人都不在身边的时候,使你能善待自己。--能独立生存

2。孩子,你一定要学会开车。这与身份地位无关。这样在任何时候,你都可以拔腿去往任何你想去的地方,不求任何人。--自由

3。孩子,你一定要上大学,正规的大学。这与学历无关。人生中需要经历这几年,无拘无束又能染上书香的生活。--一旦走进社会,就进入了市场。

4。孩子,你知道吗?足迹有多远,心就有多宽。心宽,你才会快乐。万一走不远,让书籍带你走。--拓宽自己的事业,借助知识的视野。

5。孩子,如果世界上仅剩两碗水,一碗用来喝,一碗要用来洗干净你的脸和内衣裤。--自尊与贫富无关

6。孩子,天塌下来都不要哭,也不要抱怨。那样只能让爱你的人更心痛,恨你的人更得意。--平静地承受命运,爱你的人自会关心。

7。孩子,就算吃酱油拌饭,也要铺上干净的餐巾,优雅的坐着。把简陋的生活过得很讲究。--风度与境遇无关

8。孩子,去远方的时候,除了相机,记得带上纸笔。风景是相同的,看风景的心情永不重复。--徐霞客之所以是徐霞客,不是因为走的路最多。

9。孩子,一定要有属于自己的空间,哪怕只有五平米。它可以让你在和爱人吵架赌气出走的时候,不至于留着街头,遇到坏人。更重要的是,在你浮躁的时候,有个地方让你静下来,给自己的心一个安放的角落。--独立人格

10。孩子,小时候要有见识,长大的时候要有经历,你才会有个精致的人生!--读别人的经历,找自己的经历。

11。孩子,无论什么时候,都要做一个善良的人。请记住,拥有善良,会让你成为最受上天眷顾的人。--这眷顾未必是财富与权势。善有善报,所报者,爱也。

12。孩子,笑容、优雅、自信,是最大的精神财富。拥有了他们,你就拥有了全部。--这就是“贵族”精神。

What makes you happy

After years of hard and dedicated service to his company, Rahul was being appointed at an elegant reception as the new Director.

It was a small function where his wife Anita, a Home Executive and some of the wives of the other persons in top management were also present.

In an adjacent room, Ann, the wife of the CEO of the company, asked Rahul's wife a very odd and usual question, "Does your husband make you happy?"

The husband, Rahul, who at that moment was not at her side, but was sufficiently near to hear the question, paid attention to the conversation, sitting up slightly, feeling secure, even filling his chest tightly in pride and hope, confident that his wife would definitely not publicly lower or degrade her husband, would answer affirmatively, since been there for him during their marriage and generally in life.

Nevertheless, to both his and the others' surprise, she replied simply, "No, no she doesn't make me happy..."

The room became uncomfortably silent, as if everyone were listening to the spouse's response. There was a sudden coldness in the air. The husband was petrified. A frown appeared on his face.

He couldn't believe what his wife was saying, especially at such an important occasion for him. To the amazement of her husband and of everyone!

Anita sat up firmly and explained in a modest but stern tone to the other wives who were present, "No, he doesn't make me happy... I AM HAPPY. The fact that I am happy or not doesn't depend on him, but on me. God has granted each of us intellect and discretion to reason, interpret and decide. God made me the person upon which my happiness depends.

I make the choice to be happy in each situation and in each moment of my life.

If my happiness were to depend on other people, on other things or circumstances on the face of this earth, I would be in serious trouble!

Over my life I have learned a couple of things: I decide to be happy and the rest is a matter of 'experiences or circumstances' like helping, understanding, accepting, listening, consoling and with my spouse, I have lived and practised this many times.

Honestly true happiness lies in being content."

Relieved and reassured, a smile was clearly noticed on Rahul's face.

Happiness will always be found in contentment, forgiveness and in loving ourselves and others.

To truly love is difficult, it is to forgive unconditionally, to live, to take the 'experiences or circumstances' as they are, facing them together and being happy with conviction.

There are those who say I cannot be happy:
- Because I am sick
- Because I have no money
- Because it's too cold
- Because they insulted me
- Because someone stopped loving me
- Because someone didn't appreciate me.

But what they don't know is that they can be happy even though sick, whether it is too hot, whether they have money or not, whether someone has insulted them, or someone didn't love or hasn't valued them.

Being happy is an attitude about life and each one of us must decide!

Being happy, depends on us!

It depends on me.
I fall. I rise. I make mistakes. I live. I learn. I've been hurt but I'm alive. I'm human. I'm not perfect but I'm thankful.
