Relax and enjoy for a while

                             Relax and enjoy for a while

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Though we travel the world to find the beauty, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

To handle yourself, use your head,
To handle others, use your heart.

Smile ! It takes only 13 muscles,
Frowning takes 64 muscles.

Parents need to fill a child's bucket of self- esteem and respect so high that the rest of the world can't poke enough holes to make it dry.

For creative things, give time. For productive things, give goals.

Temper gets us into trouble, pride keeps us there.

A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

All the wonders you seek are within yourself.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh , and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Once upon a time a man whose axe was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief and spoke like a thief.

God is missing

 

                          God is missing

A couple had two little boys aged eight and ten years, who were very mischievous. They were always getting into trouble. Their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their village, their sons were probably involved. The boys' mother that a saint in the outskirts of the village had been successful in disciplining children.So she requested the saint to speak to her sons. The saint smiled and asked her to send her sons to him separately. So, the mother sent her younger son first, in the morning. The saint asked the boy to sit before him and asked him sternly with his powerful voice, " Where is God ?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response. So the saint repeated the question in an even sterner tone, " Where is God !!?" Again the wide-eyed boy made no attempt to answer. The saint raised his voice and asked, " WHERE IS GOD !?" The boy screamed and ran directly home and dove into a closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him hiding, he asked, "What happened ?"  The younger brother gasping for breath, replied, " We are in big trouble this time, brother. God is missing and they think we did it!"
These words brought a dramatic change in the elder brother also.There arose no necessity for sending the older one to the saint. From that day on wards the two brothers gave up their mischief and turned into well-behaved boys.

Co-operation

     
                                Co-operation

Variety in all aspects enriches human life. Each being has some unique talent. This diversity of
human beings shows the richness and not the disparity. No work is inferior or superior. Every work contributes to community service. Thus the division of labour involving different kinds of responsibilities among the people is the base for a solid society.
It is not the complaint but justice, fairness, consideration and co-operation alone can make  healthy society of peace and prosperity.
Once a man had a dream in which his hands and feet and mouth and brain all began to rebel against his stomach.
" You good-for -nothing sluggard !", the hands said, "  We work all day long by sawing, hammering and lifting and carrying. By evening we are covered with blisters and scratches, and our joints ache, and we are covered with dirt. And meanwhile you just sit there, hogging all the food."
" We agree ! Cried the feet, " Think sore we get walking back and forth all day long. And you just stuff yourself with so many things, you greedy pig, so that you're that much heavier to carry about."
"That's right ! ", whined the mouth, " Where do you think all that food you love comes from ? I am
the one who has to chew it all up, and as soon as I am finished you suck it all down for yourself. Is that fair ?"
" And what about me ?", cried the brain. "  Do you think it's easy being up here, having to think about where your next meal is going to come from ? "  And yet I get nothing at all for my pains."
And one by one all parts of the body joined the complaint against the stomach, which did not say anything at all. " I have an idea " , the brain finally announced. " Let us all rebel against this lazy belly, and stop working for it."
" Excellent idea ! ", all the other membersand organs agreed. " We will teach you how important we are, you pig ! , then may be you'll do you a little work of your own."
So they all stopped working. The hands  refused to do any lifting or carrying. The feet refused to walk. The mouth promised not to chew or swallow a single bite. And brain swore it would not come up with any more bright ideas . At first the stomach growled a bit, as itt always did when it was hungry. But after a while it was quiet.
Then, to the dreaming man's surprise, he found he could not walk and felt very weak. He could not grasp any thing anything in his hands. He could not even open his mouth. And he suddenly began to feel rather very ill.

The dream seemed to go onfor several days. As each day passed, the man felt worse and worse.
Meanwhile, the hands and feet and mouth and brain just lay there, getting weaker and weaker. At first they roused themselves just enough to taunt the stomach every once in a while, but beforelong they did not even have the energy for that.
Finallythe man heard a faint voice coming from the direction of his feet.
"  It could be that we are wrong ",they were saying.
" We suppose the stomach might have been in his own way all along", the hands said.
" I was thinking the same thing ", murmured the brain. It is true he has been getting all the food. But it seems he's been sending most of it right back to us ."
" I think we must admit our error ", the mouth said, " The stomach has just as much work to do as the hands and feet and brain and teeth".
" Then let us all get back to work", they cried together.
And at that the man woke up. To his relief , he discoveredhis feet could walk again. His hands could grasp, his mouth could chew, and his brain could now think clearly. He began to feel much better.
" Well, there is a lesson for me to learn" , he thought as he filled his stomach at breakfast.
" Either we all work together, or nothing works at all ".
