Thought Of The Day

It is Friday sunny 32 C, these are couple of my last days in London. On Sunday morning I will leave for Grimbsy for couple of weeks. Today I planned to go to my cousin's place, her husband died last  year. I also have to see my Grade five school friend. My cousin lives in Tooting, it is 25 minutes drive from Croydon, my Daughter's place. My son in law was going there so I accompanied him. I stayed with my cousin for couple of hours, from 10 to 12. My son in law dropped me at Streathem Station, from there I got 109 to Brixton. I already top up my Oyster travel card with Pond 4.50.that was enough for the day in buses only. My friend lives near Finchley station, she decided to come  to Trafalgar, that would be a bit closer for me. From Brixton I got Bus # 3 for Trafalgar. I had plan to see my friend there right at the entrance of Canadian Embassy. Nowadays London is very crowded. It is Tourists season. Buses overloaded and too much traffic. It took me...

Mablethorpe is one hour away from my daughters's Grimsby place I have never seen such an untouched beautiful Beach very quiet place you can talk to the sea it will listen to you Nothing commercial the area around all very natural like raw and uncultured Mablethorpe beach is famous for that Half way from Grimsby was quiet different roads lined up with flower baskets with pink white red and purple flowers the colorful atmosphere beautiful Big roundabouts full of flowers As we were getting closer to Mablethorpe the scenery becomes an untouched scenic view not easy to find such places nowadays

Please keep reminding yourself There's one thing I can not abide Wasting time I genuinely believe that If there's one duty we all have It's to use the full, whatever Time or talents We may have been given " Service is the rent we pay           for our room on earth." A life spent in making mistakes Is not only more Honorable But more useful than A life spent doing nothing

Stress good or bad ? Too much stress cause us Loose sleep, edgy, irritable High blood pressure and so on. If we don't feel any stress We may not be placing Any significance on what we are doing. That can be as bad As too much stress Check out your stress If it is people problem Take time to talk it out Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes If you are wrong Admit it and apologize You will be winner by Gaining your respect And releasing your pressure If it is work related Try to work around that area

Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time. Trees are homes to squirrels, wood pigeons and birds. A source of nectar for bees. It's canopy of branches protect people from both Rain and the hot midday sun. It has been the setting for countless picnics. They are one of the best of nature's gift Please take care of them

Hope is a staff by which I may find strength To face another day. A very faithful, loving friend, upon whose strength I can depend. Hope is a comfort to my heart. When other comforts all depart. When stars are no more radiant And  life poses an Endless series of problems and Always difficult and Is full of pain When all you ever wanted isn't enough Hope shines with the moon on you and me I feel life is full of pain as well as Full of joy too And I feel today, like an investment To use in my life in my future I start making commitments and Promises with myself With new energy and Excitement to deal my day business

Obstacles are an asset. Obstacles force you to move forward, to do more. To do better not bitter. Try to find a way to turn your obstacles into assets. Don't be scared, sometimes people make an obstacle an asset. If you feel stressed out Take time out, even for just a few minutes. Some quiet reading, a good walk Some relaxation, or a shift of scenery Can work wonders. These steps will help to relieve your stress. So don't be scared of obstacles. Face it and work around it.

Think about, when was the last time you did something Really nice for someone. Think about how it made you feel on the inside Relaxed, nourished and satisfied. How we feel when we get beautiful card Or a letter from someone. It feels somebody thinking of me Thoughtful for me. Kindness reminds me of our shared humanity. Daily challenges have a way of overwhelming us Making life harder than it needs to be. Stop the little things in life from driving Them crazy. Take some time off, for little acts of kindness. It will give you great rewards in return.

Morning power is thinking About what am I happy about in my life right now What about that makes me happy How does that make me feel What am I excited about in my life right now What about that makes me excited How does that make me feel What am I proud of in my life right now What about that makes me proud How does that make me feel What am I grateful for in my life right now What about that makes me grateful How does that make me feel What am I enjoying most in my life right now What about that do I enjoy How does that make me feel What am I committed to in my life right now What about that makes me committed How does that make me feel Who do I love, Who loves me What about that makes me loving How does that makes me feel These things looks very simple but Will make your day Try it please it worked for me Especially in my low times.

Always carry a joy in your heart Never begin by announcing " I am going to prove so -- and -- so to you ". That's like," I am smarter than you are ". That's a challenge. It arouses opposition and makes the listener want to battle with you. Socrates said repeatedly to his followers, one thing only I know And that is that  " I know nothing " There's magic, positive magic in such phrases as " I may be wrong ". A little kindness just might keep the doctor away. Exciting studies claim health benefits for acts of kindness. When you are kind,you become stronger and healthier. When you are loved by others for your act of kindness You feel peaceful most of the time so Be kind to be healthy Kindness always will pay you off

He who can not walks a lonely way, has the whole world with him. Why talk about what we want ? People are interested in what they want. So talk about that. Try to get other person's point of view and see Things from that person's angle. This is the secret of success. Keep in mind that a person's name is the sweetest And most important sound in any language To that person. Be a good listener, encourage others to talk about themselves. You will never be alone in your life.

The Royal road to a person's heart is to talk about the things He or she treasures the most. Talk in terms of the other person's interests. Make the other person feel important -- and do it sincerely. Avoid argument You can not win an argument. You may achieve a victory sometimes But you will never get your opponent's good will. Control your temper in such situations. Listen first and look for areas of agreement. Be honest and promise to think.
