Inspiring Word by a Daughter to her Father

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was sort of scared, so asked his little daughter,
“Sweetheart, hold my hand so that you don't fall into the water”
The little girl said, “No, Dad. You hold my hand!”
“What's the difference?” asked the puzzled father.
“There's a big difference dad…” replied the little girl. 

“If I hold your hand and something happens,
chances are that I may let your hand go.
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that

No matter what happens, you will never let my hand go!”

Fill your heart with love and compassion,

Polish your thoughts with purity and divinity,

And decorate your deeds with dedication and service,

The rest is assured that he will never let you slip and fall!

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its Bond!

Good day and be blessed with His Strong Hold!

How to Be an Inspiration to Others

Sachin Tendulkar has inspired thousands of young boys to take up cricket.  Lata Mangeshkar has inspired many to become professional singers. There are a million such examples of people who have been an inspiration to others. How does one get there? How can you inspire people? How can you become someone that people look up to?

Do what You love

Had Sachin become an accountant, would he have been so successful? Would he have become the sweetheart of the nation that he is today? Perhaps not. So start by doing what you love to do and are good at. At the same time, don’t think about money or fame. Just quietly go about doing your job and success will follow.

Success breeds Inspiration

Look at the Tatas and Birlas. I am sure they didn’t get into business saying one day we will inspire people. Inspiration happened on the way. Their success is one of the reasons why people look up to them.

It’s not only Success

But it’s not only success, it’s their personality- them as people that inspires us too. There are thousands of people who have become successful using unscrupulous means. We don’t get inspired by them. Even your father or a friend could be an inspiration. Not because they are rich and successful, but maybe because they never lie, or are hardworking or are always there for you.

It doesn’t Need to be Big

You don’t necessarily need to climb Everest to be inspiring. It could be really simple things. Like learning to read and write at the age of 80, finishing a novel you’ve been working on for years, quitting your job to open a restaurant, taking care of your ill mother. Any activity that is done with all your heart will be an inspiration to others.

Putting Others before You

Mother Teresa was a saint, not because she always dressed in white and smiled at everyone, but because she sacrificed everything for others. She always put others before her. Give up the larger chunk of apple pie to your sibling, let your friend go to Disneyland instead of you because he can’t afford or, on your birthday, instead of spending thousands of rupees on a party and getting drunk, go to an orphanage and play with the children there. The day you start giving up what you love for others, that’s the day people will start looking up to you and will get inspired. But this doesn’t mean you pretend to give just to be admired. You really should want to do it.

Humbleness 

Even after being so immensely successful, Sachin and Lata are both incredibly humble human beings. There’s not an iota of pride in their voice when they speak in public. That’s one of the most important traits one needs to inspire others. The more successful you become, the richer you get, more humble you should be.

Start giving, and serving others selflessly and sooner or later, people will start admiring you for the person that you are.

Life is a Gift, Do not throw it so Easily

Life is a gift and what an amazing destiny my creator wrote for me. Every tear that I shred, every motion that I felt, it was being converted to rewards which I will collect.

Remember you start this journey with thousands of family members but they are purely in your life to teach you lessons. It's ok to walk away as they are not meant to travel the whole journey along side you. 

Instead of suffering silently, shout it from the roof tops and tell the world how you feel. There is no point in cutting your life short, because when you have left this world, the problems go with you. 

There is no death, your life, your responsibility and you’re in charge of you.

I can't live without You!

Sometimes I think what must I do!

I can't live without you...

Another day I think Why can't I stop loving you, 

Because I don't know if you love me too! 

My love for you is stronger than words can say,

I live with you in my heart everyday,

But never I heard the Special words from you...

That you say to me baby I love you too...

Is it real that you don't love me,

Or are you afraid to say it to me!

Baby please tell me what I must do!

Because I never can't stop loving you.

The Surgeon who Operated on Himself

In 1961, Leonid Rogozov, 27, was the only surgeon in the Soviet Antarctic Expedition. During the expedition, he felt severe pain in the stomach and had a high fever. Rogozov examined himself and discovered that his appendix was inflamed and could burst at any time. With a local anesthesia, he operated himself to remove the appendix. An engineer and a meteorologist assisted surgery.

Inspiring Words by a Handicapped Boy to Dr Abdul Kalam

A few minutes ago I was in Harali village in Maharashtra where I met 2000 of students from different schools. Just when I was about to get down from the stage a young boy, about 18 years of age, held in the arms of his mother cried to meet me. I called them both on stage. The boy could not walk due to some childhood disease, but he was strong in willpower. 

He told me, "My name is Shailesh and I am from this village. You told me to have a dream. I am here to tell you my dream. I am chess player... and someday I will become a Grand Master". 

Great to see such aspirations and strength in a rural boy who despite his challenges, has a great aim. Best wishes Shailendra

May You Be Blessed (Must Watch)

"May You Be Blessed" is very good poem for people who are depressed from their life. Watch this video for removing your stress or tension and may You be blessed with All Happiness.

Loves Never Forgotten

The true meaning of love do you truly know,

The love in my eyes does it still show 

I saw you, then wanted and finally had you

All so fast too good to be true 

Everyday is the day to god that I pray that love is never forgotten 

I ask myself, then ask once more,

Will it heal, or forever be sore 

You opened my eyes to a lot of new things,

You took me high and gave me wings 

Our love for each other never ends,

Maybe not lovers, but always friends 

We argue, we fight and disagree,

But all it does is hurt you and me 

No matter what you say or what you do,

Forever and always I''ll truely love you.

A Heart Touching Words by a Doctor on the Abortion

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said :

"Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.”

So the doctor said: “Ok and what do you want me to do?”

She said: “I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.”

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: “I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.”

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: “You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.”

The lady was horrified and said: “No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!”

'I agree', the doctor replied. “But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.”

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Love says, “I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.” Abortion says, “I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.”

You are Everything, I will ever Need.

You are everything I'll ever need

To make my life complete.

Since you came into my life,

My every dream has come true.

I'll never love anyone, 

As much as I love you.

You are the light when there's darkness,

Shining brightly through your eyes.

Yours are the arms I want to hold me,

Through all of my nights.

My heart belongs to you only,

The one true love in my life.

Our souls are intertwined,

To always be like one.

May your every need be fulfilled,

Without ever a question.

May every sadness you have ever felt,

Turn into a smile.

Unselfishly I give myself to you,

Never with hesitation,

Because you and only you.

For always will be,

My Partner, My Lover, My Friend

My Everything.

Feel the love without ever a doubt,

It is yours for a lifetime.

If You stopped loving Me

If You stopped loving me,

This heart of mine would surely die.

And my body would wither by and by

But my love for you will go on and on.

Yes, it will still be there after I’m gone.

You will feel me on the soft gentle breeze.

As you wander through the tall forest trees.

I will be on the beach as the tide comes in,

That will remind you how easy my heart was to win.

You will go about your work and play,

And remember how you loved me one day.

Love is so strong, the heart is weak.

The tears will flow, the eyes will leak.

No, I never wanted to go away.

But without your love no reason to stay.

Even if you took your love from me,

I would forever in your heart be.

The angels will come and sing you a song.

They will tell you how I’m getting along.

They will whisper about my love for you,

And let you know my heart is being true.

So, If that time should ever come to be,

And you say, "I`ll love you again," you will see,

The mountains, beaches and meadows will know.

As you shout, "I’m sorry I ever let you go."

You are my Man, my Mighty King

You're my man, my mighty king,

And I'm the jewel in your crown,

You're the sun so hot and bright,

I'm your light-rays shining down.

You're the sky so vast and blue,

And I'm the white clouds in your chest,

I'm a river clean and pure,

Who in your ocean finds her rest.

You're the mountain huge and high,

I'm the valley green and wide,

You're the body firm and strong,

And I'm a rib bone on your side.

You're an eagle flying high,

I'm your feathers light and brown,

You're my man, my king of kings,

And I'm the jewel in your crown.

You're in my all My Thoughts

You're in my all my thoughts,

In all my dreams at night.

I can feel your love for me,

Every time you hold me tight.

You take my breath away,

Whenever I feel your touch.

My heart belongs to only you,

And I need you so very much.

You'll have all of my love,

You'll forever have my heart.

My life is so sad and empty,

Whenever we are so far apart.

You mean so very much to me,

I never want to ever lose you.

You ask me if I love you this much,

Oh Yes, I do love you.

As long as You love Me

As long as you love me,

I'll stay by your side.

I'll be your companion

Your friend and your guide.

As long as you love me,

As long as you care,

I'll do anything for you.

I'll go anywhere.

I'll bring you the sunshine.

I'll comfort your fears.

I'll gather up rainbows.

To chase all your tears.

As long as forever,

My love will be true.

For as long as you love me.

I'll only love you.

Promise Yourself - A motivational video created by theOnedesigns

Keep Going

No matter what you do, no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself “there’s no point to carry on”, no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do it – keep going. Don’t quit.

Don’t quit, because a month from now you will be that much closer to your goal than you are now. Yesterday you said tomorrow. Make today count. 

Never give up until You achieve Success

Don't give up! By default, you won't be a failure! Try a new way. Rethink, Reinvent, if you walk away from what you really believe in, you never know what might have been. You believe for a reason. Now work on making it a reality. 

Great Example : Wheel of Fortune.. The TV show that everyone knows was NOT an instant hit ... even was cancelled. But now, TV show, Computer Game, Pone App, Casino Slots, 'Wheel' is everywhere...

So what may seem like a failure is an opportunity to get you to try harder, rethink and implement new strategy.

Walking with Grandma

I like walking with Grandma, 

Her steps are short like mine. 

She doesn’t say “now hurry up” 

She always takes her time. 

I like to walk with Grandma, 

Her eyes see things like mine do, 

Wee pebble bright, a funny cloud, 

Half hidden drops of dew. 

Most people have to hurry, 

They do not stop to see. 

I’m glad that God made Grandma 

Unrushed and young like me!

स्नेह का महत्व

जीव कितना ही सूक्ष्म हो या विशाल सभी के प्रति स्नेह का भाव रखना प्रत्येक मनुष्य का कर्तव्य है। प्यार का दूसरा रूप होता है 'स्नेह'। यह ऐसा प्यार है जो हमें हमारे सद्गुणों के कारण मिलता है। यह एक तरह का प्रतिदान होता है, अर्थात बदले में मिला प्यार।

'स्नेह' आप किसी से जिद से नहीं पा सकते, उसके लिए आपको स्वयं उस रस सागर में गोता लगाना होगा। हम अपने से बड़ों को सम्मान और छोटों को प्यार देगें तो हमारे बीच का स्नेह स्रोत कभी सूख नहीं पाएगा। प्यार का हलका-सा स्पर्श रोते हुए व्याक्ति के होठों पर मुस्कान दे सकता है, उसके तनाव की बदली को छांट देता है। स्नेह में पगे हुए स्वर किसी को सुख का अहसास दे जाते हैं, उसके मन को निर्मल कर जाते हैं।

A Heart Touching Words by Son to his Working Mother

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.

Son : Mummy, may I ask you a question?
Mother : Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.

Son : Mummy, how much do you make an hour?

Mother : That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing? the woman said angrily.

Son : I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?
Mother : If you must know, I make $20 an hour.

Son : Oh.. the little boy replied, with his head down.
Son : Mummy, may I please borrow $5?

The mother was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities." 

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think: “Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $5 and he really didn't ask for money very often.”

The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

Are you asleep, son? She asked.
No Mummy, I'm awake, replied the boy.

I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier said the woman. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $5 you asked for. 

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. Oh, thank you Mummy! he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.

Why do you want more money if you already have some? the mother grumbled.
Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. the little boy replied.

Mummy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.

The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.

Morel :  It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $20 worth of your time with someone you love.

Never Judge Anyone

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call ASAP, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. 

He found the boy’s father going and coming in the hall waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him, the dad yelled:

“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled and said :

“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily.

The doctor smiled again and replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Bible “From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”

“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank God! Your son is saved!”

And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question, ask the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Morel : Never judge anyone because you never know how their life is and as to what is happening or what they’re going through. 

A True Story about a Man’s Sacrifice

This is a true story, dates back to the British rule in India.

The Pamban Bridge is situated in Tamil Nadu, India. At the entrance of the bridge you can see a picture of a weeping man holding some human body parts close to his chest.

This bridge was built during the British rule in India and it was constructed in such a way that the center portion of the bridge could be lifted with the help of huge wheels, so that ships could easily pass under the bridge. On the bridge, roads and rail tracks are laid for trains and other vehicles to pass.

A middle aged man was appointed to roll the wheels up and down when ships arrive. Once he saw a train slowly approaching, while he was pulling back the bridge after a ship quietly passed beneath. He had to pull back quickly or else there would be a fatal accident and thousands would have died.

At that time his 9 year old son came with lunch. When he saw his father struggling with the wheels, he kept the lunch box down and started helping him to roll the wheels to put the bridge back. Suddenly his son's finger got caught inside the wheel and he started crying out. At this time if the father tries to save his son, the bridge could not be put back on time. He had no other option but to ignore his son's cry. With all his strength he kept on rolling the wheels to down the bridge. As the wheels rolled on, his son slowly started slipping away into the huge machine.

Tears rolled down his father's cheeks, but he ignored his son's cry. If he tried to save him, the train will surely fall into the sea and thousands of people will die. Slowly the boy's whole body fell into the machine and his father could hear his bones breaking one by one, until with a loud sound, his head cracked.

The train with thousands of passengers slowly rolled on the rails, without knowing what had happened there.

Though this man performed his duty honestly he lost his only loving son. With extreme lamentation, he pulled out his son's body parts from the machine and held it close to his chest and cried bitterly.

British Government honored him greatly and in memory of this incident they placed the picture at the entrance of the bridge.

There are selfless people still; only thing is we need to identify them.

A Golf Poem

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls. A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a Year. That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon! Kind of makes you proud. Almost feel like a hybrid. Had William Wordsworth been a golfer, he would have written something like this about a golf ball!

In my hand I hold a ball, white and dimpled, rather small.

Oh, how bland it does appear, this harmless looking little sphere.

By its size I could not guess,

The awesome strength it does possess.

But since I fell beneath its spell,

I've wandered through the fires of hell.

My life has not been quite the same,

Since I chose to play this stupid game.

It rules my mind for hours on end,

A fortune it has made me spend.

It has made me yell, curse and cry,

I hate myself and want to die.

It promises a thing called par,

If I can hit it straight and far.

To master such a tiny ball,

Should not be very hard at all.

But my desires the ball refuses,

And does exactly as it chooses.

It hooks and slices, dribbles and dies,

And even disappears before my eyes.

Often it will have a whim,

To hit a tree or take a swim.

With miles of grass on which to land,

Finds a tiny patch of sand.

Then has me offering up my soul,

If only it would find the hole.

It's made me whimper like a pup,

And swear that I will give it up.

And take to drink to ease my sorrow,

But the ball knows ... I’ll be back tomorrow.

The Mirror

I look in the mirror

And what do I see?

A strange looking person

That cannot be me.

For I am much younger

And not nearly so fat

As that face in the mirror

I am looking at.

Oh, where are the mirrors

That I used to know

Like the ones which were

Made thirty years ago?

Now all things have changed

And I’m sure you’ll agree

Mirrors are not as good

As they used to be.

So never be concerned,

If wrinkles appear

For one thing I’ve learned

Which is very clear,

Should your complexion

Be less than perfection,

It is really the mirror

That needs correction!! 

 Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797, Irish Philosopher)

Letter from an executed Yugoslav Partisan sent to his Unborn Child in World War II

My child, in the life ahead of you keep your capacity for faith and belief, but let your judgment watch what you believe. Keep your love of life, but throw away your fear of death. Life must be loved or it is lost, but it should never be loved too well. 

Keep your wonder at great 

and noble things, like sunlight 

and thunder, the rain and 

the stars, and the greatness of heroes. 

Keep your heart hungry for new knowledge. 

Keep your hatred of a lie, and keep your power of indignation.

Best Friends

If only you could see, 

The pain that comes to me. 

When I'm killing my feelings for you everyday, 

Just being your best friend isn't okay. 

Why don't you ask me now? 

I'd answer you the truth somehow. 

And someday, make you mine, 

I know I will, 

But you're my best friend still. 

Maybe you'll understand someday, 

Only if you could see, 

Why everyday I keep smiling 

Even after the pain that comes to me.

Today I Walk Alone!

Boy : I broke up with her.

His Best Friend : What happened?

Boy : She’s just too much for me.

His Best Friend : What makes you say that? What did she do wrong?

Boy : Well, for one.. She only cared about her appearance. Always had to look good, always took forever to get dressed! So insecure.

Best Friend : So, you broke her heart because she wanted to keep your eyes locked on her? She wanted you to see that you have the prettiest girl under your sleeve and not think otherwise? I see..

Boy : Oh.. Well.. She’d often call me or text me asking where I am, who I’m with, telling me not to smoke, not to drink. She’s so clingy!

Best Friend : So, you broke her heart because she cares about your well being because she cares about you a lot? And her greatest fear is losing you. I see..

Boy : But.. Uhh.. Well, she’d always cry when I say something slightly mean. She can’t handle anything. She’s a crybaby!

Best Friend : So, you broke her heart because she has feelings? And because she just wanted to hear you say you love her? I see..

Boy : I.... Well you know, she’d get jealous easily. I could barely talk to other girls! She’s so annoying! I had to hide it from her.

His Best Friend : So, you broke her heart because she just wanted you to commit to her? She thought you were faithful, but you lied so she could find out later and hurt even more? She just wanted the guy she loves the most to love only her. I see.

Boy : Well, she..

Best Friend : You broke up with her because she’s good for you? She just wanted the best for you? She’s broken now because you were selfish. Are you proud?

Boy : I broke her heart because I couldn’t see what was happening. What happened to me?

Best Friend : You lost the girl that loved you like no one else could. You see? You didn’t want her when all she ever wanted was you. That’s what happened.

True Facts about Jealous Personality

You can not harm a jealous person because jealous people always suffer anger or upset inside by seeing your success or pleasure. So, there is no need to hurt them as they always hurting their health, time or some time wealth by observing your happiness. If you attempt to hurt them, you will also lose your wealth and health. It is not viable that we do not lose anything in effort of hurting other person. (It can be your valuable time or health.) If that individual upset by your effort, in return, you will not get a benefit a pinch from this. Instead, you constantly experience an emotion of fear or sorrow inside your heart at that moment.

I always suggest you that you should not make any relationship or friendship with a jealous personality. If this person gets hurt by you during your friendship mistakenly, they will turn into your extreme opponent. They will constantly try to demolish your pleasure, achievement or wealth at any expenses.

Give Me Strength

This is my prayer to thee, my lord - strike, 

strike at the root of penury in my heart. 

Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows. 

Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service. 

Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might. 

Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles. 

And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.

~  Rabindranath Tagore

Conversation with God

Me : God, can I ask You a question?

God : Sure

Me : Promise You won't get mad…..

God : I promise

Me : Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God : What do you mean?

Me : Well, I woke up late

God : Yes

Me : My car took forever to start

God : Okay

Me : at lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait

God  : Hmmmmm

Me : On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call

God : All right

Me : And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax. But it would not work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God : Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of my angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled) : OH

God : I did not let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me : (ashamed)

God : The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I did not want you to catch what they have, I knew you could not afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed) : Okay

God : Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I did not even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly) : I see God

God : Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I did not think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me : I'm Sorry God

God : Don't be sorry, just learn to trust Me.... in All things , the Good and the bad.

Me : I will trust You.

God : And don't doubt that My plan for your day is always better than your plan.

Me : I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God : You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children...
