Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!!

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.

Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.

However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... And just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give & don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."


Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

A small truth to make life 100%

IF

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is equal to

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then,

HARDWORK: H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

KNOWLEDGE: K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

LOVE: L+O+V+E

12+15+22+5 = 54%

LUCK: L+U+C+K

12+21+3+11 = 47%

(don't most of us think this is the most important ???)

Then what makes 100%

Money ..... NO !!!

MONEY: M+O+N+E+Y

13+15+14+5+25 = 72%

Leadership.... NO !!!

LEADERSHIP: L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P

12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89%

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our attitude

To go to the top, to that 100%,

What we really need to go further ....

a bit more.....

ATTITUDE: A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes our life 100%

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Change your attitude ... and change your life !!!

perhaps love

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

You still moves me....

I've often wondered what would I do

If I found you alone like this

Would I remember

What I've got at home

Or forget it all with your kiss

'Cause when you left me

I was hurtin' so

She picked me up off the ground

And I do love her,

I want you to know

That I never want to let her down

But you still move me

Though I'd never let her know

There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go

And every time I hold her in my arms

Or look into her eyes

I wonder this time, does it show

'Cause you still move me

Nails in the Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.



The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.


He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.


The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.


The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Remember that friends are very rare jewels, indeed.

They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.

They lend an ear, they share words of praise and

they always want to open their hearts to us.'

To My Child

Just for this morning, I am going to smile
when I see your face and laugh
when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose
what you want to wear, and smile
and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going
to step over the laundry
and pick you up and take you to the park to play.


Just for this morning, I will leave
the dishes in the sink,
and let you teach me
how to put that puzzle of yours together.


Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone
and keep the computer off,
and sit with you in the backyard
and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once,
not even a tiny grumble when you scream
and whine for the ice cream truck,
and I will buy you one if he comes by.


Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about
what you are going to be when you grow up,
or second guess every decision
I have made where you are concerned.


Just for this afternoon, I will let you
help me bake cookies,
and I won't stand over you
trying to fix them.


I will think about the mothers and fathers
who are searching for their missing children,
the mothers and fathers who are visiting
their children's graves instead of their bedrooms.


The mothers and fathers
who are in hospital rooms watching
their children suffer senselessly and
screaming inside that little body


And when I kiss you goodnight
I will hold you a little tighter,
a little longer.


It is then, that I will thank GOD for you,
and ask him for nothing, except
one more day................
