Be innovative


“Winners do not do different things. They do things differently.”  Let us see how these quoted lines have been beautifully described by some other author in the following short story.  
Heart of Gratitude !
 A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “ where you the one who changed my sign this morning ? What did you write?” The main said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you say but in a different way.” I wrote: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.” Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? Moral of the Story : Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling. And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!! Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude.”

That's life


Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: "The world over, 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?’. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' " 
Is there any one like him who loves to be in God’s will? Perhaps not! Everyone wishes to be in his own sweet will. None likes to surrender to Him.

Creator or the creation


what mostly is observed is the hankering after the three perishable aspects of this materialistic world such as Man, Money, and Material. People are blindly chasing these three irrespective of not knowing them carefully. It is alright  that we require these three to maintain our day to day life but in what magnitude. This is a question mark. Do we cut our clothes according to our coat? We do not. We often collect more than we need. This results into a colossal accumulation of waste. This is very natural to us because human being is selfish by nature and loves the creation more than the creator. Can one imagine how much valuable time we waste in it? No one can guess and perhaps we loose our whole life in it. Eventually we leave all on the drop of a hat when we kick the bucket. Don’t we? What do we gain at the end of the day? Nothing! In other words our materialistic accumulation and our total span of life become a waste only . Instead if we really love the creator we would not require anything else because we know the one who is capable of giving us every thing is with us now. I do not mean that one must renounce the world but he must discharge his duty towards responsibility and spirituality. The creator of this creation is not far away if creator’s grace is bestowed on you. The creator as is said is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent.“ Lord accepts none but those who love him.” The door will open when you knock at it. The creator is the most significant because he creates the creation. He is the father of all and everything. So let us not waste our valuable time collecting dross and let us focus our attention on the right focal point of our life.

Unplesantness


Hats off to charismatic, visionary and larger than life Steve P Jobs who with his perseverance, unprecedented, multifaceted talent boosted Apple to a very pleasant level. On the other hand it is Sony Vaio which is trumpeting its own drum of vanity. My pc branded Sony Vaio packed up just after seven months of purchase. It was reported to the dealer and the customer’s care service center. During the last four months it was innumerable times repaired and reformatted by its service center resulting zero outcome. It is under one plus two year’s extra purchased warranty. Looks like it is beyond repairs and i find them reluctant for the replacement. Amazing! May God bless them!
Well i do not expect them to be perfectionist but they must resolve this unpleasantness.
