Try to srtike a balance in life :

1. Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

2. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

3.Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

4. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

5. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

6. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.

7. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

8. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

9. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.

10.Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

11.Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

12.Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

LIFE IS NOT A RACE, BUT A JOURNEY TO BE SAVORED EACH STEP OF THE WAY.


hey can you relate to anything????

A story

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

Share this story with someone you like.... But even better, share $20 worth of time with someone you love. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.

We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family. An unwise investment indeed!

Chup!!!!

waiting for results ....... u score better than u expected n voila r u happy or what!!!!!!!!! there is nothing much 2 say but feel d numb ecstasy flow thru u ............

u r doing absolutely nothing and have no major expectations either n get a news that u have been offered a job with a firm u would have loved 2 work with anywhr anytime !!!!!

thinkin of all d good bad times u shared with ur dearest friends (old-new) .....can only smile right??

fights with dear ones and making up later n laughing about it later

first time u go 4 ur job ...d look that ur mom gives u....a mixture of concern n pride

the time when u really wanted something , wanted 2 achieve something n had worked really really hard for it.....d moment u get get it.....

when u survive a major accident or cruise through a convoluted situation

well inspite of myriad of emotions flowing thru me during all this time ....anger,surprise,happiness,pleasure,sorrow,hope,satisfaction,support,expectations...still i dont really have words to say to myself ....all i do is keep silent....as if i just ran out of words ....

Silence .......it is during these silent times that i actually communicate to myself.....my true inner self...as they say .... "silence speaks louder than words".....a time when i am THINKING.........thinking of how all these years (22 to b exact :P) have passed as a matter of minutes,isnt it?

well how singers use it 2 create wat v call wondeful compositions ...crooning 2 a melodious number when they go all silent n start all over again ....OHHHHH ....isnt that effect absolutely touching n....well i really donno wat 2 say...

i have learnt to listen to it,to its voice, to its desires, to its pains and they are always there to guide me ahead in life as they always were....shutting it off closes doors ........ it is in these SILENT times that lifes major decisions and promises are made ...promises to oneself,decisions for myself..a time when i am ME
