WORK HARD !!

" If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem wonderful at all . "
-Michaelangelo

well , if that's true for the master , Michaelangelo ... what about you and me ??

so , WORK HARD .

The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world
takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its
head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.

--Andrew Carnegie .

so , work hard .

IF YOU THINK , THEN YOU ARE !!

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't!

If you like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can .

so , think positive , think good , feel good , SO THAT YOU LIVE GOOD .

FAILURE IS THE HIGHWAY TO SUCCESS !!

Tom Watson Sr. said, "If you want to succeed, double your failure rate."
THAT'S TRUE .

If you study history, you will find that all stories of success are also stories of great
failures. But people don't see the failures. They only see one side of the picture and they
say that person got lucky: "He must have been at the right place at the right time."

GUESS WHO ???
Let me share someone's life history with you.
This was a man who failed in business at the age of 21 ; was defeated in a legislative race at age 22; failed again in business at age 24; overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26; had a nervous breakdown at
age 27;
lost a congressional race at age 34; lost a senatorial race at age 45; failed in an
effort to become vice-president at age 47; lost a senatorial race at age 49; and was
elected president of the United States at age 52.
.
.
.

This man was Abraham Lincoln.
YES .

Would you call him a failure? He could have quit. But to Lincoln, defeat was a detour and
not a dead end.

so , remember : " NEVER SAY NEVER " , and you will win .

SUCCESS : TRUE MEANING .

what is success ?? .
That's not a tough one to answer .

All that we need to do is learn our lessons from history.
When we study the life histories of successful people,
we find that they have certain qualities in common no matter which period of history they
lived in. Success leaves clues and if we identify and adopt the qualities of successful
people, we shall be successful. Similarly, there are characteristics common in all failures.
If we avoid those characteristics, then we shall not be failures. Success is no mystery,
but simply the result of consistently applying some basic principles. The reverse is just as
true: Failure is simply a result of making a few mistakes repeatedly. All of this might
sound too simplistic, but the fact is that most truths are very simple. I'm not saying they
are easy, but they certainly are simple.


To laugh often and love much;

To win the respect of intelligent persons
and the affection of children;

To earn the approval of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends ;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give off one's self without the
slightest thought of return;

To have accomplished a task, whether
by a healthy child, a rescued soul, a
garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with
Enthusiasm and sung with exaltation;

To know that even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

so , enjoy success in your life .

STAY INSPIRED .

PLEASE , DON'T SMOKE AND DRINK .

The following poem from an unknown author explains the dilemma of a social drinker well :

I've drunk to your
Health in taverns,

I've drunk to your
Health in my home,

I've drunk to your
Health so damn
many times,
That I've almost
ruined my own !


Drinking and smoking are glamorized today. It all starts with the first time. If you ask
people why they consume alcohol or take drugs, they will give you a host of reasons,
such as: to celebrate; to have fun; to forget problems; to relax; to experiment; to impress
(it is cool to drink); to be fashionable; to mingle.

well , if that's why you drink , you are paying a heavy price for it .

your life's too precious to let it slip away so easily .
so i request you please don't smoke and drink .

SORE LIKE AN EAGLE !!!

That's what most of us are made to do . TO sore like an eagle . but its sad , that some people go to their grave with " MUSIC STILL IN THEM " .
The conditions , the environment around a person is not the same for everyone . few people are lucky enough to be born and brought up in a well educated society, where they do get shaped for all the good things in life , but that's not same for some of us .
But , blaming our society for our failure's is not the answer to your problems . there have been great people , i must say " LEGENDS " , who did great deeds in their time , having problems and more problems around them . they were born and brought up in problems , difficult time . but what made them great was their attitude . They all followed one simple principle .
" NEVER SAY NEVER " .

:::: STORY ::::
An eagle's egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken. The egg hatched and the little
eagle grew up thinking it was a prairie chicken. The eagle did what the prairie chickens
did. It scratched in the dirt for seeds. It clucked and cackled. It never flew more than a
few feet because that is what the prairie chickens did. One day he saw an eagle flying
gracefully and majestically in the open sky. He asked the prairie chickens: "What is that
beautiful bird?" The chickens replied, "That is an eagle. He is an outstanding bird, but
you cannot fly like him because you are just a prairie chicken." So the eagle never gave it
a second thought, believing that to be the truth. He lived the life of and died a prairie
chicken, depriving himself of his heritage because of his lack of vision. What a waste! He
was born to win, but was conditioned to lose.

The same thing is true of most people. The unfortunate part of life is as Oliver Wendall
Holmes said, "Most people go to their graves, with music still in them." We don't achieve
excellence because of our own lack of vision.

so , don't let your surroundings , society pull you back . don't give them the chance . take charge of your fate in your hands , and the victory shall be yours .

STRUGGLE TO GAIN STRENGTH

people say " LIFE 'S NOT FAIR " .
well , it never was , and it never will .
you got to struggle before you achieve something in your life .
sometimes , you may get things very easily or without putting in much effort , but life 's not always that easy.
also , sometimes we try a lot and even fail , but we should not let that disappoint us .

victory and failure are part of everyone's life .
THERE'S NO EXCEPTION TO It.

Trials in life can be tragedies or triumphs, depending on how we handle them. Triumphs
don't come without effort.
::::STORY ::::

A biology teacher was teaching his students how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. He
told the students that in the next couple of hours, the butterfly would struggle to come out
of the cocoon. But no one should help the butterfly. Then he left.
The students were waiting and it happened. The butterfly struggled to get out of the
cocoon, and one of the students took pity on it and decided to help the butterfly out of the
cocoon against the advice of his teacher. He broke the cocoon to help the butterfly so it
didn't have to struggle anymore. But shortly afterward the butterfly died.
When the teacher returned, he was told what happened. He explained to this student that
by helping the butterfly, he had actually killed it because it is a law of nature that the
struggle to come out of the cocoon actually helps develop and strengthen its wings. The
boy had deprived the butterfly of its struggle and the butterfly died.
Apply this same principle to our lives.
Nothing worthwhile in life comes without a struggle.
SO , struggle to gain strength.

DON'T LISTEN WHAT " YOU" WANT TO LISTEN .

DO NOT listen " selectively " . it has a negative impact rather than having a positive impact .

the real crux or meaning of a saying is HIDDEN . so , try to catch it .
Also , generally , when opportunity knocks your door , you mistake it with NOISE ..
knock knock ...
its opportunity.. grab hold it .. dont ignore it . DONT mistake it with noise .

To give you an example of selective listening, let me share with you a story I heard about
a medical doctor who was invited as a guest speaker to address a group of alcoholics.
He wanted to make a demonstration that would be powerful enough to make people
realize that alcohol was injurious to their health. He had two containers, one with pure
distilled water and one with pure alcohol. He put an earthworm into the distilled water and
it swam beautifully and came up to the top. He put another earthworm into the alcohol
and it disintegrated in front of everyone's eyes. He wanted to prove that this was what
alcohol did to the insides of our body. He asked the group what the moral of the story
was and one person from behind said, "If you drink alcohol you won't have worms in your
stomach." Was that the message? Of course not. That was selective listening--we hear
what we want to hear and not what is being said.

Many of our blessings are hidden treasures--
so , count your blessings and not your troubles.

STAY INSPIRED .

some people always look for the negative . THINK POSITIVE , even then .

There was a hunter who bought a bird dog, the only one of its kind in the world. That
could walk on water . He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this miracle. At the
same time, he was very pleased that he could show off his new acquisition to his friends.
He invited a friend to go duck hunting. After some time, they shot a few ducks and the
man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. All day-long, the dog ran on water and
kept fetching the birds. The owner was expecting a comment or a compliment about his
amazing dog, but never got one. As they were returning home, he asked his friend if he had noticed anything unusual about his dog. The friend replied, "Yes, in fact, I did notice
something unusual.
Your dog can't swim."

so think positive .. stay inspired .

KEEP DIGGING !! you will find your gold .

As a young Scots boy, Andrew Carnegie came to America and started doing odd jobs.
He ended up as one of the largest steel manufacturers in the United States.
At one time he had 43 millionaires working for him. Several decades ago, a million dollars
used to be a lot of money; even today it is a lot of money. Someone asked Mr. Carnegie
how he dealt with people? Andrew Carnegie replied, "Dealing with people is like digging
gold: When you go digging for an ounce of gold, you have to move tons of dirt to get an
ounce of gold. But when you go digging, you don't go looking for the dirt, you go looking
for the gold."

What is your focus? Become a digger for gold. If you are looking for what is wrong with
people or with things, you will find many. What are you looking for? Andrew Carnegie's
reply has a very important message. There is something positive in every person and
every situation. Sometimes we have to dig deep to look for the positive because it may
not be apparent. Besides, we are so used to looking for what is wrong with other people
and situations, we forget to see what is right. Someone once said that even a stopped
clock is right twice a day.

Remember when you go looking for gold, you have to move tons of dirt to get to an
ounce of gold. But when you go looking, you don't go looking for the dirt, you go looking
for the gold.

ACRES OF DIAMONDS

There was a farmer in Africa who was happy and content. He was happy because he
was content. He was content because he was happy. One day a wise man came to him
and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along with them. The
wise man said, "If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own
city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably own your own
country." And then he went away. That night the farmer couldn't sleep. He was unhappy
and he was discontent. He was unhappy because he was discontent and discontent
because he was unhappy.
The next morning he made arrangements to sell off his farm, took care of his family and
went in search of diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any. He looked all
through Europe and couldn't find any. When he got to Spain, he was emotionally,
physically and financially broke. He got so disheartened that he threw himself into the
Barcelona River and committed suicide.
Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at a stream
that ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and
made it sparkle like a rainbow. He thought it would look good on the mantle piece. He
picked up the stone and put it in the living room. That afternoon the wise man came and
saw the stone sparkling. He asked, "Is Hafiz back?" The new owner said, "No, why do
you ask?" The wise man said, "Because that is a diamond. I recognize one when I see
one." The man said, no, that's just a stone I picked up from the stream. Come, I'll show
you. There are many more." They went and picked some samples and sent them for
analysis. Sure enough, the stones were diamonds. They found that the farm was indeed
covered with acres and acres of diamonds.*


What is the moral of this story?

There are five morals:
1. When our attitude is right, we realize that we are all walking on acres and acres of
diamonds.

· Opportunity is always under our feet. We don't have to go anywhere. All we need
to do is recognize it.

2. The grass on the other side always looks greener.

3. While we are dyeing the grass on the other side, there are others who are dyeing the
grass on our side. They would be happy to trade places with us.

4. When people don't know how to recognize opportunity, they complain of noise when it
knocks.

5. The same opportunity never knocks twice. The next one may be better or worse, but it
is never the same one.

what an ATTITUDE !!

There was a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair. He had all colors of
balloons, including red, yellow, blue, and green. Whenever business was slow, he would
release a helium-filled balloon into the air and when the children saw it go up, they all
wanted to buy one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon, and his sales would go up
again. He continued this process all day. One day, he felt someone tugging at his jacket.
He turned around and saw a little boy who asked, "If you release a black balloon, would
that also fly?" Moved by the boy's concern, the man replied with empathy, "Son, it is not
the color of the balloon, it is what is inside that makes it go up."

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.

But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep Believing in Yourself

FACE DIFFICULTIES POSITIVELY

This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

Initially the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, HE WOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP!

This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up!” He repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or how distressing the situation seemed, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP!
It wasn’t long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like it would bury him actually helped him . . . all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.

THAT’S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity.

few HAPPY quotes

“Be happy. It's one way of being wise.”

- Sidonie Gabrielle

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

- Albert Camus

HAPPY LIFE

Happiness in my opinion is finding good things in your life - right here, right now.
Realizing you have wonderful things all around you. So many people live their life stuck on the idea they will only be happy once they have achieved this, that and the other thing.

And when they do - they realize they aren´t happy after all. Because then they have new things to want. There´s no way they can put on a happy face - for real. They haven´t learned to like the wanting-part - the journey itself. Their mind is set on the idea they cannot be happy unless they have achieved something (or everything). The haven´t learned to find happiness in their journey towards the wanted thing.

Some say happiness is elusive. I think otherwise. Happiness is an attitude. And as such you carry the keys to happiness with you where ever you go - it is all inside your own mind. You can learn that attitude of happiness if you
so decide.

By finding things to appreciate here and now you flow easier with your life - you let the river of life take you.

Learn to appreciate your life first as it is can bring almost magical results.

And once this starts happening, the don´t worry be happy -attitude becomes easier and easier to keep.

so , dont worry , be happy..
