Lasting Treasures

Image
Kind words in writing become lasting Treasures. Words in writing can change lives, even start careers. Keep in mind that a personal, handwritten note, is always great than a nice store bought card. Try to write notes of ," Thank You ", expression of Sympathy, "Thinking of You"  Messages. Congratulations, letter of Apology and reminders of love and friendship. These are all very kind notes and will make great difference in someone's life. Think about that. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, spirit - lifting notes are springs of warmth and reassurances. We all need supportive words to boost our morale. We can make it a point to express ourselves in a harmonious, cheerful and caring manner.

Words go Deep into the Body

Image
We are making choices all the time, but we are often unaware of it. One of the important choices is, how we treat other people. We can put them down or, can lift them up. We can be self centered and inconsiderate, or we can be respectful, kind and helpful. For the most part, we do these things with the language we choose. Always remind yourself about making choices with your mind and your mouth. Words go into the body, can cause happiness, be wondrous and cheerful. Or they can make us depressed, and finally sick. Realize the power that our words command if we simply choose them wisely.

Words Do Not Die

Image
Sometimes silence is golden. Listen while others are talking. We have to realize that every single thing that goes into our mouth, is a choice. Not only do we choose what goes into our mouth, we choose what comes out of them. Words go into our body. They impact our body and also on others. Most of us make unconscious choices in the words that we use. Words, once said, do not die.

Start me up Breakfast

Image
Have the " start me up breakfast " Coffee, bagel, and wisdom. Good the more communicated, the more abundant grows. Words are choices. Respect the power of words. Chose them with care. We live by choice not by chance. Failure is greater teacher than success. The best use anyone can make of any day is to enjoy it ----  and then spread that joy to others. Let us celebrate Today.

Trash Out

Image
We hear and we read, that is a lot of input. We are what we are because of what goes into our mind. Screen out the Trash, eliminate the negative input. Start your day with a positive input. We have to control what goes in. It is very difficult to control all the messages from all sides, we are getting every day, every moment. We have to control and sort all the Messages. Take all the good and  positive ones and screen out the trash. Sit down in the quiet of the morning with a cup of hot coffee and something uplifting to read. This will make your Day.

Words have Power

Image
Life and language are alike sacred. Language can change lives. Words shape history, and give birth to ideas. Thinkers and leaders have used the power of words to transform our emotions. The tongue and the pen are Mighty. Careful with fire, careful with words is ten times doubly so. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. There is relationship between good character and the quality of life, and a  major part played by the power of kind words. Language is our best tool, use it wisely and carefully. Kind words cost little but accomplish much. They have great impact on our lives and on our society in so many ways. Remind yourself to do it often.

Mind Your Language

Image
The World does  not require so much to be informed as to be reminded. Words are tools that we always have access to and have used every day since we started talking. We live in an ocean of words, but like fish in water we are often not aware of it. We often talk without thinking first and without being aware of the impact of  our words.Yet they can have a powerful impact  --- both on others and ourselves. Khalil Gibran says that " in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. " put your mind in gear before putting your mouth in motion ". Celebrate the words, which help to encourage and affirm life. I can live for two months on one good compliment. It has been said that language is an index of civilization, so mind your language please. What we hear all around us every day literally speaks volumes about our culture, our ethics and our consideration for one another. Give a touch to our civilization with a better choice of words. Try to be...

Actions and Intentions

Image
Opportunity lies in the person. Those, who stand out from the crowd have learned that all development is self development. We all have same amount of time but not the same talent and ability. We certainly owe a debt to people whose messages have been encouraging and positive as well informative and instructional. Every lesson, taught us the essence of life by instructing us in the character qualities, regardless of our chosen field. failure, many times, is in the beginning of a new and more exciting trip. Persistence really does pay. People judge you by your actions not by your intentions. Truly successful people in life are givers and forgivers.

Manners are Mirrors

Image
Our words reveal our thoughts. Manners are mirror of our self esteem. Our actions reflect our character. Our habits predict the future. Change always involves stress. If you don't have the ability to handle the change and move on, you will be stuck. You might have a heart of gold, but so does a hard boiled egg. Little things can make a big differences. Open your eyes and you will undoubtedly see a hundred things,. you can and should express gratitude for all this.

Resolve Your Complaints

Image
Doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way will assure you of an extraordinary future. Be a good finder and your life will be much happier. A properly handled stress, can work on your behalf. Stress is a force to Drive. Don't be scared of stress. Handle it, and move on. You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell a man is wise by his questions. Deal as gently with the faults of others as you do with your own. Bad attitude negates good work. Good attitude about doing everything will catch up with you, you will move up. Try to resolve all of your complaints in life by being appreciative of the many blessings. Expressing appreciation for the people and for the blessings, is a winning approach.

Words are Dynamite

Image
Speaking of "mere words" is like speaking of "mere dynamite" Powerful words always give powerful results Words have great strength, when these are of love and encouragement will continue to bless and enrich throughout your life and of others too. Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. Be kind to listen. Joyful words celebrate life. Affirming words inspire us and others Loving words build and heal relationships Gracious words show respect and Gratitude. Funny words make us laugh. Use your words very carefully. They have Tremendous power, so be careful.

Exciting Business

Image
Life is an exciting business and most exciting when it is lived for others. Try to live by the principle that each of us should do all the good we can in all the ways in all the places we can for all the people we can and while we can. Believe that " Service is the price we pay for the space we occupy on this planet." . Genius produces great ideas and concepts, hard work produces the results. Try to be a risk taker and not a gambler. Sometimes it is only one incident, which can change us for ever. Try to be compassionate to others, God will be compassionate to you in turn. Self satisfaction is a great reward, we give to ourselves. Run your day by the clock and your life with a vision, good things will happen in your life. Take advantage of every opportunity, it will help you prepare for the challenges in your life. Between the ages of twelve and seventeen of your children, a parent can age thirty years, so don't take much pressure. Great th...

Road to Success

Image
We dream the Dreams, and dream of fulfilling it. It is the dream that makes a person. It is never too late to dream, to learn or to change. If you really believe in something, you will persist. Persistence will take you  to the road to success. Fear of Falling, fear of failing, is a heavy burden to carry. Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The things that count most in life, are the things that can not be counted.

Don't wait for Fridays

Image
Happiness is the one, we only tumble upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, somewhere, and hold fast, as fortune. We spend  most of  the hours of most of our days constructing tomorrows, that we hope will make us happy. People wait all week for Friday, all year for summer, all life for Happiness. Try to indulge in the present moments and make best use of that. Writing a book is it's own rewards, but reading a book is a commitment of time and money that ought to pay clear dividends. Don't take your life too seriously and have at least ten minutes to live. You can't stop the calendar or turn back the clock, but you can still dream. Set positive goals, and use your unique abilities. A person is no greater than his or her dreams, ideals, hopes and plans.

Challenges to face

Image
The  real challenge for the whole immigrant community is that how to raise their future generation. Kids should be a model of their own culture and traditions, or parents can compromise and give some liberties to their kids. Parents agree on one point, that they should be more flexible, specially girls should not be in that tight compartment as used to be back home, they should be out of their cages. Parents are still very confused. They don't mind their kids going on the streets for Tick or Treat in Halloween, but when kids want to go to Christmas parties to their friend place, it becomes a burning hot problem. They don't want their kids mingling with  the children of other cultures, specially in parties. As long as their kids religion and belief is safe, it seems OK with every parent. They don't want to take chances, still losing the grip on their future generation. Migration always opens up new vista to new cultures. Parents have to accept. Ring ou...

Cultural Shock

Image
In the developing countries, to be a boy is lucky. Lucky for the boy and  also for the family Nowadays even in big cities, it is considered  good if girls are engaged in their teens and it is better if girls are married around their twenties As soon as their age bar crosses the figure of twenty, their parents got more and more upset so as a gesture of goodwill the whole community gets involved to fix up the situation They do whatever they can to handle the situation, because now the time is considered to be ripe to transfer the girl in the groom house, so the groom be searched, and someone succeeds The only requirement is that, who can take care of her life from now onward  She has to live there till her death Divorces are very uncommon in developing countries Boys are not a problem at all,  as their parents don't have to worry about their age limit, they don't have to leave their homes, as their partner will be added right there Living in C...

People to be Remembered

Image
I am flipping  my past years pages from my memory journal. Two years back, before my Mother's death, I used to go back home religously to see my Mom, who used to live with my brother. My brother's driver Faiz always stays in my mind. Faiz was an employee, my brother used to pay him monthly fixed amount for his duties,but he was not  like a worker to my brother,  Faiz was like younger brother to him. Faiz always called me Apa as my brother used to call me that, he was ready to do anything for anyone. He, easily could have got any other job, but he was so loyal to us may be because of our treatment or may be, we were part of family for him too. Faiz was like Jeeves of P. G. Wodehouse . Our family is scattered all around the world because of our  jobs and also due to migration after marriage, but everybody knows him very well. Visiting back home, the first person standing with my brother to greet us was always Faiz. Some people are like a lamp post show...
