Lesson of Time

When a bird is alive it eats ants, yet when it dies, the ants eat it. 
Circumstances can change at any time and the tables usually turn over a period of time. 


Do not oppress, despise or hurt anyone during your lifetime. 
You may be powerful today but remember, time is more powerful that you! 


Just like one tree makes a million match sticks, 
yet when the time comes then only a single match is needed to burn a million trees.

No Matter What, You Gotta Run !

Every morning in Africa, 

a gazelle wakes up, 

it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or 

it will be killed. 

Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. 

It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. 

Moral: 

It doesn't matter 

Whether you're the lion or a gazelle

When the sun comes up, 

You'd better be running.” 

 -Sir Roger Gilbert Bannister
Sir Roger Gilbert Bannister, CBE (born 23 March 1929) is an English former athlete best known for running the first mile in less than 4 minutes.

Why Do Old Books Smell?

Teen Creed

Don't Let your parents down,

They brought you up.

Be humble enough to obey,

You may give orders someday.

At the first moment,

Turn away from unclear thinking.

Avoid following the crowd,

Be an engine not a caboose.

Choose companions with care,

You become what they are.

Be master of your habits,

Or they will master you.

Don't be a show-off when you drive,

Drive with safety and arrive.

Guard your thoughts,

What you think you are.

Think Positive !

American mathematical scientist George Dantzig narrates a very interesting true story.


"I was a mathematics graduate student at the University of California , Berkeley. Arriving late to class as usual, I quickly copied the two math problems from the blackboard, assuming they were the homework assignment. When I sat down to work on them that evening, I found them to be the most difficult problems my professor had ever assigned. Night after night I worked ,trying first to solve one then the other with no success. But I kept at it."Several days later, I made a breakthrough and solved both problems.


I took the homework to class the next day. The professor told me to leave it on his desk. It was piled so high with papers that I was concerned my homework would get lost in the clutter.
Reluctantly, I dropped it off and went on my way.


"Six weeks later, on a Sunday morning, I was awakened by a pounding on the door. I was startled to see it was my professor. 'George!George! he was shouting, 'You solved them!' " 'Yes, of course,' I said. 'Wasn't I supposed to?' The professor explained that the two problems on the blackboard were not homework; they were two famous outstanding problems that leading mathematicians so far had not been able to solve. He could hardly believe that in only a few days I had solved them both. "If someone had told me that they were famous unsolved problems, I probably wouldn't have even tried to solve them."


It goes to show the power of positive thinking.


Magic of positive thinking... In a perfect world, if nobody was there to tell you that you couldn't do something, your mind wouldn't know that and so therefore, it would accomplish and solve everything thrown its way. Since we don't live in a perfect world, all it means is we need to block out the negatives that are thrown our way so we could resolve and achieve anything and everything we set our minds to.

Reign Your Temper !

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. 


Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.


Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. 


The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say "I'm sorry", the wound is still there.  

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
