Live Positive Way - Rose


A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully, and before it blossomed, he examined it.  He saw the bud that would soon blossom and also the thorns.  And he thought, how can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose and before it was ready to bloom, it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose.  The God-like qualities planted in us at birth grow amid the thorns of our faults.  Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.  We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us.  We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies.  We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see    the    rose within themselves; someone  else must show it to  them. One     of     the greatest  gifts  a person can possess is  to be  able to reach past the thorns and find the   rose  within others.  This is the characteristic of  love, to look at  a  person, and knowing is faults, recognize the   nobility  in his soul, and help him  realize  that he can  overcome his  faults. If we show him the rose, he will conquer the thorns.

Our  duty  in this world  is  to help others  by showing them  their  roses and    not   their thorns.  Only then can   we   achieve the love we should feel    for   each other;  only  then  can  we   bloom in our own garden.

Live Positive Way - Making a Difference


A man was walking down the beach at sunset. As, he walked along, he saw another man in the distance. He noticed this man kept leaning down, picking up something and throwing it out into the water, again and again. As, he approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach. He was throwing them back into the water, one by one.

Puzzled, he approached the man and said, "Good Evening. I was wondering what you are doing."

"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If, I don't throw them back into the ocean, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."

"But, there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possible get to all of them. And, don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"

The man bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and threw it back into the ocean. With a smile he replied, "Made a difference to that one !!!"

Just remember, no matter how small the deed it really does makes a difference.
Make a difference today.

Live Positive Way - Never Manipulate


Death came to a Man and said, “My friend today is your last day on the earth"

Man : But I am not ready..

Death : Well your name is the next in my list..

Man : Okay why don't you take a seat and I will get you something to eat before we go..

Death thought for a moment and said : All Right..

The Man gave Death some food with sleeping pills in it. Death finished eating and fell into a deep sleep..

The Man took the list & removed his name from top of the list and wrote it into the bottom of the list.

When Death woke up, he said to the Man : Because you have been so very nice to me, I will start from the BOTTOM of the list..

Moral of the story : Never Manipulate.

Live Positive Way - Success & Failure


Success is good because it  confirms things for us.

Success confirms our plans.
Success  confirms our decisions.
Success confirms our resources.
Success confirms  our strategies.
Success confirms our hunches.
Success confirms our  teamwork.
Success confirms our risks.
Success confirms a lot of  things!

And Failure's  role is to teach us.

Failure teaches us  that we need to change our plans.
Failure teaches us that we need to change  our decisions.
Failure teaches us that we need to change our  resources.
Failure teaches us that we need to change our  strategies.
Failure teaches us that we need to change our hunches.
Failure  teaches us that we need to change our teamwork.
Failure teaches us that we  need to change our risks.
Failure teaches us that we need to change a lot of  things!

Live Positive Way - Chill!


If time doesn't wait for you, don't worry! 
Just remove the battery from the clock and Enjoy life!

Expecting the world to treat u fairly because you are a good person 
is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. 

Don't walk as if you rule the world, 
walk as if you don't care who rules the world! 
That's called Attitude…! Keep on rocking!

Live Positive Way - Perception!


Forwarded mail...

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, 'Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? 'Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, 'The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?' Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, 'How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman.'

The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, 'Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you.' Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear...
