WHO ARE YOU

Hi Friends…

Think & Try to answer these question:
1. Name the 5 Richest People in the World?
2. Name the 5 Miss Universe Winner?
3. Name the Last 10 Nobel Prize Winner?
4. Name the Last 10 Winners of the Best Actor Oscar?

Can’t do it? Rather Difficult, isn’t it?
Don’t worry, Nobody remember that.

Applause Dies away!
Trophies gather Dust!
Winners are soon forgotten.

Now answer these questions:
1 Name the 3 Teachers who contributed to your education?
2 Name 3 Friends who helped you in your hour of Need?
3 Think of a few people who made u feel special?
4 Name 5 People that you like to spend time with?

More Manageable? Its easier, isn’t it?
The People who mean something to your life are not rated “The Best”, Don’t have the most money, haven’t won the Greatest Prizes…
They are the ones who care about you, take care of you….

Think about it for a moment.

Life is very Short!

Let me give you hand. You are not among the most “Famous”,
but You are also the “Best” to Someone…

You are not remembered by Everyone But
You are also not forgotten by someone…

"GOD BLESS YOU"

The Butterfly & the Flower

Once there was a man who asked God for
A Flower &
Butterfly…

But Instead God gave him a Cactus…
And a Caterpillar…

The Man was sad. He didn’t Understand why his request was Mistaken.

Then he thought: Oh well, God has too many people to care for…
And decided not to question.

After some time, the Man went to check up on his request that he had left forgotten.

To his Surprise, from the thorny & Ugly Cactus, A Beautiful flower had grown.

And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most Beautiful Butterfly.

GOD always does things right!

His ways is ALWAYS the best way, even if to us it seems all wrong.

If You ask God for one thing & received another,
TRUST.

You can be sure that He will always give you what you need at the appropriate time.

What you want….
… is not always what you need!

God never fails to grant our petitions, so keep on going for him without doubting or murmering.

Today’s Thorn …
…is Tomorrow’s Flower!

God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to him!

GOD BLESS YOU!

Every Minute is SPECIAL

Think It Over


Today we have higher Buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view.

We spend more but enjoy less,
...............We have bigger house, but smaller families,
..............................We have more compromises, but less time,
We have more knowledge, but less judgements.
..............We have more medicines, but less health.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much.

We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors.

We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.

We have higher income, but less morals.

There are times with more liberty, but less enjoy.

We have much more food, but less nutrition.

These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase.

These are times of finer house, but more broken homes.

That’s why I propose, that as of today,

You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because everyday that you live is a Special Occasion.

Spend more time with your family & friends, eat your favorite’s foods, visit the places you love.

Lets tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.

Every day, Every hour & Every Minute is Special.

Always Be Happy!!

We convince ourselves that life will be better once we Married, have a baby then another.

Then we get frustrated, Because our children are not old enough, and that all will be well when they are older.

Then we frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely we will be Happier when they grow out of the teen years.

We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retired.

The Truth is that there is no better time to be Happy than right now, If not now then when?

Your life will always be full of challenges, It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of all.

So, Enjoy every Moment.

Happiness is a Vayage, not a Destination.

There is no better time to be happy than now….

Live and Enjoy Each & Every Moment of Life….

======================================================

Always remember to forget the things that made you Sad,
But Never forget to Remember the things that made you Glad.

Always remember to forget the Friends that proved Untrue,
But don’t forget to remember those that have stuck by You.

Always remember to forget the Trouble that have passed away,
But Never forget to remember the Blessings that comes each day.

The Story of Robby

He was a young boy who lived with his elderly Mother.

His Mother wanted him to Learn how to play the Piano because she longed to hear her son play for her.

She send her son to a Piano teacher who took Robby in under her guidance.

However, there was one small problem because Robby was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow in Learning.

The Teacher didn’t have much faith in the boy because of his weakness. The Mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send Robby to the teacher.

One day Robby stopped attending the Piano lessons. The teacher thought that he has given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give much hope to Robby.

Not long after, the Piano teacher was given the task to organize a piano concert in town,

She sent out circulars to invite the students and public to attend the event. Suddenly, she received a call from Robby who offered to take part in the concert.

The teacher told Robby that he was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he has stopped coming for lessons. Robby begged her to give him a chance and promised that he would not let her down.

Finally, she gave in and she put him to play last, hoping that he will change his mind at the last minute. When the big day came, the hall was packed and the children gave their best Performance. Finally, it was Robby’s turn to play and as his name was announced, he walked it.

He was not in proper attire and his hair was not properly groomed. The teacher was really nervous since Robby’s performance could spoil the whole evening’s brilliant performance. As Robby started playing the crowd became silent and was amazed at the skill of the little boy. In fact, he gave the best performance of the evening.

At the end of his presentation the crowd and the piano teacher gave him a standing ovation. The crowd asked Robby how he managed to play so brilliantly.

With the microphone in front of him, he said, “I was not able to attend the weekly piano lessons as there was no one to send me because my mother was sick with cancer. She just passed away this morning and I wanted her to hear my play. You see, this is the first time she is able to hear me play because when she was alive she was deaf and now I know she is listening to me. I have to play my best for her!”

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

This is indeed a touching story of Love and Excellence. When you have a passion and a reason to do something, you will surely excel. You may not be talented or gifted but if you have a strong enough reason to do something, you will be able to tap into your inner God given potential.

THE SEVEN WONDERS…

The Seven Wonders of the World…

A groups of student were asked to list what they thought were the present “SEVER WONDERS OF THE WORLD.”

Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1 Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2 Taj Mahal
3 Grand canyon
4 Panama canal
5 Empire state building
6 St. Peter’s basilica
7 China’s Great wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted the one student had not finished her paper yet,

So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.

The Girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.”

The teacher said, “well, tell us what you have, and may be we can help”.

“The Girl hesitated, then read: “I think the “Seven wonders of the world” are:
1 To See
2 To Hear
3 To Touch
4 To Taste
5 To feel
6 To Laugh
7 And To Love.

The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wonders!

A Gentle reminder:
That the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or brought by man.

A SWEET LOVE STORY

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home. suddenly he asked the waiter: "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously : why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea ,just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my home town, I miss my home town so much, I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her far away hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it. After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said:" My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt it was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.. Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste..But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again". Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee? It's sweet. She replied. Pass this 2 everyone coz love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive not 2 c but understand not 2 hear but 2 listen not 2 let go but HOLD ON !!!! Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. A real friend expects to always be there for you! *Yusuf*

FRIENDSHIP

Hello Friends!

Once I sat and thought of what is Friend to Me??? & I came to a conclusion
which I would like to share it with my Near & Dear Friends.. that’s “U”.

It is by chance we Met, By choice we became Friends…

Friendship is a Strange thing…
We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives….
Things which we don’t even share with our families who raised us….

But what is Friend??

A Confident?
A Lover?
A Fellow Email Junkie?
A Shoulder to cry on?
An Ear to Listen?
A Heart to feel?...

A Friend is all these things ….. and more…

No Matter where we met,… I call you Friend.

A Word so small Yet so large in feelings….A Word filled with emotions…

It is true great things come in small Packages. Once the Package of FRIENDSHIP has been opened, it can never be closed…

It is a constant book always written… waiting to be read.. and Enjoyed.

We may have our Disagreements…. We may argue… We may concern one another…
FRIENDSHIP is a Unique Bond that lasts through it all….

************************************

Friends…

You and Me…
You brought another Friend…
And then there were three…
We started our Group…
Our Circle of Friends…
And like that Circle….
There is no Beginning no End.

**************FRIENDS FOREVER***************

This Poem is for My Best Friend Mohammad

You are my best friend through thick and thin.

When You reach for my hand you touch my heart.

You are The bestest friend that i can have.

You are there for me when i need you the most.

You Cheer me up when i am down.

If i am about to cry u Make me smile.

You are my bestest friend and i can Not lie.

You listen to me and give me advice,

advice that comes Straight from the bottom of your precious heart.

You are My best friend in the whole wide world and

i couldn't ask God for a little bit more.

We are going to grow older,

and things will change but

our Friendship will forever still remain.

I'll make new friends but That won't change

because you will always be my best friend.

I'd like to mean as much to you as you mean to me.

I'd like to Be some help to you as you have been to me.

I'd like to know That as we grow old our lives will change

but that our

Friendship will still remain.

Me and you will never be apart

maybe in distance but never in Heart

for our friendship is way to strong to let it go off just like That.

All i can say is that you are my best friend

and i swear to God that i don't want it to change.

I may move to a different state but

that doesn't mean that our friendship will end,

because you will always be my best friend.

No matter what life has destined for us

I know that our friendship will never die.

Love you always,

Yusuf.....

Love Your Parents

There was a Tree, A little boy loved to play with it..

He love to climb the tree, love to Eat apples… love to take the nap under its shadow.

Time went on …

The Boy Grew up..
& he no longer play around the tree
“
“
“
One day the boy came…

The tree asked him.. “Hi.. come and play with me..”

The Boy replied.. ”I am not a kid, I don’t play around the tree” “I play with toys. I need money to but toys”,

The tree said… ”I don’t have money but you can take my all apples and sell it. You will get the money.”

The boy picked all the apples of the tree and went…

He sold the apples and got money… he brought lots of toys…

But he didn’t turn back…
“
The tree was again sad.
“
“
“

One day again the boy came, he became a young man now……
The tree said… “Hi… why are you sad? Come and sit under my shadow… I am feeling very lonely without you…”

The boy said… “I don’t have time…. I work for my family…I want to build home for them…I need money…”

The tree said… “I don’t have money…you can take my Branches and trunk… & build your home…”

The boy became Happy…

He cut all the branches and trunk of the tree…

And built a home for him…

Again the tree became alone…
“
The boy didn’t turned back
“
“
Time passes on….

After long time the boy came back…
He was so old… Looking sad…Tired… & Lonely.

The tree asked him… “why are you sad”?

I wish I can help you… but I don’t have Apples… I don’t have branches… Even I don’t have shadow… Nothing to offer you…

The Boy {Old Man} replied… “I am tired of my Life… I am alone…”
“I just need you… can I sit down at your roots.”
“
“
“

The Boy (Old man) sit down… Both were Happy & Weeping…

Is the Boy really cruel & Selfish??
??
??
??
??

No…

We all are like him… and treating our parent like that…

The tree is like our parent… we love to play them when we were kids… we leave them alone… and come only when…we are in need or in trouble…

We don’t have time for our parents…

No matter what, parents will always give everything…

To make us happy and solve our problems…. And in return what they want…
Just our Company!!

Please Love to your Parent…
Don’t forget them…
Give them time…
Give them your company…
They will be happy by seeing you Happy…

Please don’t leave your parent….
Gratitude them….
One can get child as many as he want, but parents he get only once…

Thanks…..

I Love You DAD

Dear Son…

The Day that you see me old and I am already not,
Have patience & try to understand Me….

If I get Dirty while eating….If I cannot Dress … have patience…

Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.

If, When I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times….
Do not interrupt to me….Listen to me….

When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you gets to sleep….

When I do not want to have shower, neither shame me nor Scold me…

Remember when I had to chase you with thousand Excuses I invented,
In order that you wanted to bath…

When you see my ignorance of new Technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile…

I taught you how to do so many things.. To eat good.. To Dress Well… To Comfort Life..

When at some Moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… Let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to & when not.

When My tired legs do not allow me to walk…
Give me your Hand… The same way I did when you gave your first steps.

And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more… that I want to Die.
Do not get Angry…some day you will understand…

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived…

Someday you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the Best things for you and that I tried to prepare the way for You.

You must not feel sad, angry or impotent for seeing me near you. You must be next to me, try to understand Me & to help me as I did it when you started living.

Help me to walk…Help me to end my way with love and Patience. I will pay you by a smile and by the Immense Love, I have had always for You.

I Love you Son…

Your Father….
