Thought for the day

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-- Calvin Coolidge

Looking Forward - 2009 !!!

Looking Forward - 2009!

 

2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 was when.........
when we got a job.........
when we passed out of college....
when we made new amazing friends.....
when some of us moved to a new city.....
When some of us celebrated our  21st - 25th birthdays.....

When we waved good bye to our buddies leaving to the states for higher
studies...
when some of us fell in love........
when some of us fell out of love
when some of us got hurt
when some of your 'friends' screwed up your love life.
when some 'one' you liked, did not like 'you'..

when we would have made mistakes
when we made life decisions.......
when these decisions turned out to be a tragedy
when some of us felt lonely ....
when some of us made an amazing friends in a new city
when some of us would have learnt to be stronger.....

when some of us would have realized that everything happens for a
reason.....
when some of us let out our anger.....
when some of us never opened up to our friends about how we felt....  when
some of us felt so glad and happy to be the way they are.....  when we go
out everyday and meet up with our friends...
when we had serious talks with our dad about our future.....

when we missed each other when we were at hometown.....
when we missed our mom here ...
when we cried for each other ...
When we celebrated our first Christmas with our friends ..
When we were jobless all the time in office ....
When we walked around the streets late in the night ..

When we put budget for the next month (but strictly not following it) Last
year has taken us through all our ups and downs we faced in our life...

2009.......one more year.....A year to....

To find our life partner (some of us might be and some of us already found)
to smile........
to let people know how much u care...
to learn from our mistakes.......
to cry when we are feeling down.....
to follow our dreams.......
to fight against everything for our dreams to come true.....
to be more confident.........
to be more strong at heart and mind.....
to enrich our knowledge.........
to make others happy....

Lets take each day as it comes........
Forget about the downs we came across in the past year........
And remember every lesson we learnt through them........
Let's Enjoy Life to the Fullest............

LET'S WAIT FOR THE WONDERFUL YEAR AHEAD – 2009 !!
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Thought for the day - Be a Child

Thought for the day - Be a Child 

 A survey across the world asking people about the “best days of their life” would give a unanimous opinion – childhood. The beautiful memories of childhood are cherished by each one of us – times when we were so innocent and pure, so carefree, so very blissful. Where does that childhood vanish? Trust me, there is a child within each one of us. A child that is innocent and doesn’t want to harm anyone on purpose. A child that knows that there is someone to care for him, and so he need not worry. A child that is loved and loves without any prejudice. A child that loves to play and is playful.

 So, bring out that child in you today. For today, feel carefree. Don’t be bothered by anything – stock markets, petrol prices or neighbors. Dare to be free of worry, with a secured feeling that things are the way they are supposed to be. Most of us stop playing games when we grow up. So today, dig up your favorite board game and play it with friends. If there is a song that you love you’d sing along, without bothering how nice or rough your voice is, just sing!. As a child, be spontaneous.

 If you feel hesitant about being the child all by yourself, be so with some child – that is socially acceptable! And when the child smiles back at you, you’ll see the joy that it fills you up with. You can call all the children to your place and have a bash with them too. You’ll be the most famous uncle in the locality, and the children will flock around you too!. It’s basically all about enjoying what you do and doing what you enjoy. So if you really enjoy being a child, why not be one?

 So as a child for the day, love everyone without any hesitation. Remember, everyone is waiting to get love – and you can start out by being the giver. At the end of the day, recollect your day’s experiences. You’ll see that spending even an hour as a child was beneficial – and fills you with positivity.
