A Nice Article about Love

by Swami Vivekananda

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!! and Love it...!

“Important of Effort in your Life….!!!”

This is the story of the giant ship engine that failed ?

The ship's owners tried one expert after another,

but none of them could figure it out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since 

he was a youngster. 

He carried a large bag of tools with him,& when he arrived, 

he immediately went to work.

He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man,

hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, 

the old man searched into his bag & pulled out a small hammer.  

He gently tapped something. & instantly, the engine lurched into life

& got started.

He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed.!  

A week later, The owner received a bill from the old man for ten thousand $.

"What….?" the owner exclaimed. "He hardly did anything.... !"  

So they wrote the old man a note 

saying "Please send us an Itemized bill."
The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer…...$ 2.00
But knowing where to hammer.....$  9998.00

Total $ Ten Thousand Only…..10,000/-

Moral of The Story:
“ Effort is important in life, but

   knowing where to make an effort in your life,
   Makes all the difference…..!!!”

Management Lesson

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus,
and drove off along the route.
No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off,
and things went generally well.


At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on.
Six feet eight,built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.
He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!"
and sat down at the back.


Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek?
Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John,
but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened -
Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down.
And the next day, and the next.


This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John
was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer.
signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff.


By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong;
what's more, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said,
"Big John doesn't pay!"


The driver stood up, glared back at the passenger,
and screamed, "And why not?"


With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied,
"Big John has a bus pass."


Management Lesson: "Be sure there is a problem in the first place
before working hard to solve one."

Money ! Excellent

It is August. In a small town on the South Coast of France, holiday season

is in full swing, but it is raining so there is not too much business
happening. Everyone is heavily in debt.

Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local
hotel. He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter,

takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third
floor.

The hotel owner takes the banknote in hurry and rushes to his meat supplier
to whom he owes E100.
The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt.
The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some
time ago.
The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave
him her services on credit.
The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she owed the hotel! for her
hourly room use to entertain clients.
At that moment, the rich Russian is coming down to reception and informs the

hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his E100 back

and departs.

There was no profit or income. But everyone no longer has any debt and the
small town people look optimistically towards their future.

COULD THIS BE THE SOLUTION TO THE Global Financial Crisis?

An old man lived alone in a village. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son,
who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss
doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a

Garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you

weren’t in prison.

Love,
Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s
where I buried the GUNS!!’

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug
up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do
next.

His son’s reply was: ‘Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad... It’s the best I could do for you from
here.’

Moral:
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO

SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT.
IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS... NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE
THE PERSON IS….
