Traveling Through Life

Thanks to Ganesh Kumar   Traveling Through Life – Dr. John C. Maxwell     Here are Tips from Dr. John C. Maxwell, recognized Leadership expert, where he gave 10 solid tips for traveling through life.     Tip #1: Travel Light. - You can always tell the difference between an experienced traveler and a new one… by the size of their luggage. John mentioned that too many people travel through life with a lot of emotional baggage, which they’ve not yet learned to let go.  Traveling light is about finding your priorities… carrying only the essential stuff… Oh yes… and asking for forgiveness along the way.     Tip #2: Take someone with you - Life is about relationships. Isn’t it awfully lonely to travel through life alone? Maybe you’ve been hurt before, but that doesn’t mean that you should close your heart. It only means that you know the characteristics you d...

Weekend Reading : Dad & Son

Thanks to Deepak MS, Deepak Kumar Verma and Bahubali Ravasaheb Boke   Dad & Son   While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.    When the child asked his father, with painful eyes, "Dad when will my fingers grow back?", man was so hurt and speechless that he went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, child had written "LOVE YOU DAD".   Next day he saw himself in mirror, who was incapacitated and who could not do anything about what he has done in anger!   Anger and Love has no limits. Choose the latter to have beautiful & lovely life. Respect the Love with Love ...

DON'T WE ALL

Thanks to Rohin Mahajan   Don't we all?   I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum. From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those "don't want to be bothered times."   "I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought. He didn't .   He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop but he didn't look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke. "That's a very pretty car," he said.   He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him. His scraggly blond beard keep more than his face warm. I said, "thanks," and continued wipi...

Worth two Paisa!!

  Thanks to Ranjan Jain  Worth two Paisa!! A man went out of his village and came back after ten years. He advertised himself, "I have become successful in yoga practice." So naturally villagers surrounded him. "Oh! Really! What yoga practice you have learnt?" they asked him. "I can walk on the water," he replied. "Oh? Let us see this!" So a big arrangement was made that he'll walk across the river. Then he walked over the water, and crossed the river. Then one old man came and said, "Sir, what you did was very wonderful, but it’s worth two paisa only." "Why?" the so-called yogi asked. The great feat which you display after arduous practice of 10 years is available to me just for 2 paisa. Now you will walk to the other side of the river. I will just take a boat for two paisa and cross the river. I'll do the same thing, so what is your credit? What’s the special benefit that you have derived...

Look for God in others.

Subject: Weekend Reading : Look for God in others.   Thanks to Shobha Shamanna   Look for God in others   One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends’ tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes my heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a ...
