The Journey is So Short

A young lady sat in a public transport. An old grumpy lady came and sat by her side as she bumped into her with her numerous bags. The person sitting on the other side of her got upset, asking the young lady why she did not speak up and say something.

The young lady responded with a smile, 'It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something so insignificant, the journey together is so short. I get off at the next stop.'

The response deserves to be written in golden letters in our daily behaviour and everywhere: It is not necessary to argue over something so insignificant, our journey together is so short.

If each one of us could realise that our passage down here has such a short duration, to darken it with quarrels, futile arguments, not forgiving others, ingratitude and bad attitudes would be a waste of time and energy.

Did someone break your heart? Be calm, the journey is so short...

Did someone betray, bully, cheat or humiliate you? Be calm, forgive, the journey is so short...

Whatever penalty anyone serves us, let's remember that our journey together is so short...

Let us therefore be filled with gratitude and sweetness. Sweetness is a virtue never likened to bad character nor cowardice, but better likened to greatness.

Our journey together down here is really short and cannot be reversed... No one knows the duration of his journey.

No one knows if he will have to alight at the next stop.

Let us therefore cherish and hold on to friends and family! Let us be cal, respectful, kind, thankful and forgiving to each other. If I've hurt you, I ask your forgiveness. But please remember: The journey down here is so short...

Shakespeare said...

I always feel happy, you know why?
Because I don't expect anything from anyone, expectations always hurt...
Life is short, so love your life.
Be happy, and keep smiling. Just live for yourself.
Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you hurt, feel.
Before you hate, love.
Before you quit, try.
Before you die, live.

Food for thought

Don't walk in front of me... I may not follow...
Don't walk behind me... I may not lead...
Just walk beside me... And be my friend...

Confidence comes naturally with success, but success comes only to those who are confident. So begin your day with confidence.

The seeds of kindness you plant today will bloom in the hearts of those that you touch, forever.

Spend your time on those who love you unconditionally. Don't waste it on those who only love you when the conditions are right for them.

Best philosophy in life is to keep the mind happy! We don't know whether success gives happiness or not, but a happy mind can always lead to success!

Failures are part of life...
If you don't fail, you don't learn..
If you don't learn, you'll never change.

Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrows keep you human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,
But only God keeps you going.

Life is a trip.
The only problem is that it doesn't come with a map...
We have to search our own routes to reach our destination.

Don't be afraid to start over. It gives you a chance to build something even better.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher. - A P J Abdul Kalam

We come with nothing, we go with nothing, but one great thing we can achieve in our beautiful life is... a little remembrance in someone's mind and a small place in someone's heart.

If you cannot find the right words for the certain situation, just give a smile. Words may confuse, but a smile always convinces!

Some people are poor financially but so rich by heart.

You can not change your future, but you can change your habits, and surely your habits will change your future. - Dr Abdul Kalam

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving, otherwise you will fall.

In the journey of life, we pass pleasures and pain.
There will be sunshine and rain,
There will be loss and gain.
But we must learn to smile again and again.

A tree that wants to touch the sky must extend its roots into the earth. The more it wants to rise upwards, the more it has to grow downwards. So to rise in life, we must be down to earth, humble and grateful.

Golden time of our life may not return back forever but the good relation and the golden memories will stay in the heart forever.

If you have the spirit of understanding everything in a positive way... you'll enjoy each and every moment of life, whether it's pressure or pleasure!

Respect people who find time for you in their busy schedule, but love people who never look at their schedule when you need them.

Rumours are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by idiots.

The most useful asset of a person is not a head full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, with ears open to listen and hand willing to help.

Happiness is a choice. Yeah, things in life make it difficult, but at the end of the day you control your own happiness.

Honesty is a very expensive gift. Don't expect it from cheap people. - Warren Buffet

In every religion there is love, but love has no religion.

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop.

Missing someone isn't about how long since you've seen them or the amount of time you've talked to them. It's about that very moment when you're doing something and wishing they were right there with you.

Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world no matter what you look like.

A beautiful dress can change the personality. However, a beautiful behaviour can change the whole life! Change your dress as often as you like, but wear your best behaviour permanently.

Millions of tress in the world are accidentally planted by squirrels - who bury nuts, then forget where they hid them. Do good and forget. It'll grow some day.

Sugar and salt may be mixed together, but ants reject the salt and carry away only sugar.
We are also surrounded with infinite choices and possibilities...
The art is to select the right people and right choices in life to make your life sweeter and successful.

Life will never be perfect, but the perfect moments make it all worthwhile.

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of wind.
But the goodness of person spreads in all directions.

Don't care about what other people think of you. There will always be those people who want to see you fail because they can't succeed.
