Attitude Matters

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 per cent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

-DPublish Postr Viktor E. Frankl

I view my life in a way… I’ll explain it to you, OK? The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today. And that’s how I look at my life. I will be better as a golfer, I will be better as a person, I will be better as a father, I will be a better husband, I will be better as a friend. That’s the beauty of tomorrow. There is no such thing as a setback. The lessons I learn today I will apply tomorrow, and I will be better.”

– Tiger Woods

Have A Wonderful Day.

It Matters in Life

IT PAYS TO BE KIND
A young man and a young lady were seated at a table in a small and little-known restaurant in Paris. It was evident that they were on their honeymoon, from the loving glances they gave each other. When the time came to lock the door, the groom discovered to his despair that he had been pick-pocketed of his purse. He described his plight to the waiter, who in turn called the proprietor. The owner was struck with something in the appearance of the young man that made him say, “Young man, it is all right. Do you have money to get home?” The young groom’s embarrassment grew as he confessed he had not a single coin with him. The owner reached in his pocket and gave the grateful groom some money, as he stammered words of appreciation, and said, “Sir, you will not regret this. Someday I will make you and your café world famous!” “I want nothing but my money back,” declared the proprietor of the café.Some years later the recipient of this charity wrote an operetta, the famous MERRY WINDOW. In it is a song called the CAFÉ MAXIM. It made that obscure Paris restaurant world famous. Certainly the proprietor, Eugene Cornuche, never regretted that he had helped Franz Lehar, the composer and his bride!

If only each one of us realized that a drop of water given to a thirsty person is worthy of unimaginable reward! Genuine charity does not evaluate an action by its bigness or smallness. It evaluates it as an act of love, an act that makes us discover the greatest good: God himself

Be Positive even in failures

Obstacles, obstructions, hindrances, and impediments; all of these spring from the same meaning which unfortunately we tend to supply our minds with. The more you feed your mind with positive words and positive meanings, the more progress you will achieve. Feel the success before you achieve it and the best way to do so is to supply yourself every morning with positiveness, happiness and love. Keep in your mind that success starts from the point where you have failed.

The best moment in life is when you start believing in yourself

Good Morning. Have A Great Day

It Matters In Love

It Matters In Love

Loving someone doesn’t need a reason. If you can explain why you love someone,
it’s not called ‘love.’ It’s called ‘like.’

If someone wants to be a part of your life they’ll make an effort to be in it.
So don’t bother reserving a space in your heart for someone
who doesn’t make an effort to stay.

We spend so much time looking for the right person to love
or finding fault with those we already love,
when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

Happy Weekend Ahead..

Beyond the ordinary

THE ACE FOOTBALL PLAYER
Pele — this short name would suffice for a man of tall stature. Beautiful skills, astonishing speed and ball control: of all those great players in the yellow and green shirts, Pele was the greatest of them all.Pele was born in a poor family and due to poverty he had to drop out of school at the age of 10 while studying in the fourth class. The family situation became even harder when his father, a fairly good football player had to quit playing it professionally due to a knee injury. His father had started training him in football as soon as Pele started walking.Pele used to play barefooted in the streets of Bauru where he grew up, not with a ball, but with a sock filled with rags. Later he took up odd jobs for his living. At the age of 11 Pele drew the attention of Waldemir de Britto, the renowned coach who trained him for four years and taught him all the techniques and tricks of the game. Pele worked all the more harder to master the game. That paved the way for his promising future.Pele scored two goals in the world cup final at the age of 17, an achievement that is unlikely to be matched ever in world cup history. As he was a Negro with dark skin, Pele earned the name ‘Black Pearl’ of football. It has been more than a quarter of a century since his last competitive game, and yet Pele cannot visit a country without crowds flocking to meet him.

To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.

When things go wrong

THE MISTAKEN PRODUCT
In the time that it takes you to read this sentence, some 13,000 orders for Coca-Cola are being placed. But believe it or not, the world’s most popular drink — 245 million orders per day, according to company publicists — got its start in life as a tonic, the concoction of Dr John Smith Pemberton of Atlanta. In 1886, Dr Smith was already producing a number of medicines, including something called the French Wine of Coca, a tonic. When he came up with the formula for Coca-Cola, he was trying to put together a remedy for headaches and exhaustion. The existing Coca product was to be the base, the wine was to be eliminated, the sugar content increased and caffeine and acid added.Oils were added, too, because the original was a bitter brew. Still, something was missing when the new product went on sale in an Atlanta pharmacy. A clerk, instructed to mix the syrup with ice and water, provided missing ingredient when he misunderstood the instructions and mixed it with carbonated water.Of such mistake are legends born and fortunes made. Coca-Cola hasn’t missed a dividend since 1893.

Mistakes are going to be made in every endeavour. Expect them — but learn from them too.

Have A Great Day and A Great Week Ahead..

Be Aware before taking harsh conclusion

HASTY CONCLUSION
The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college students. Near the window is seated an old man with his 30-year-old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside.“See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful.”This behaviour from a 30-year-old son made the other people feel strange about him. Everyone started murmuring something or other about this son. “This guy seems to be a crack,” the newly married Tom whispered to his wife. Suddenly it started raining. Rain drops fell on the travellers through the open window. The 30-year-old son, filled with joy, “See dad, how beautiful the rain is!” Tom’s wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit. The angry Tom shouted, “Can’t you see it’s raining, you old man? If your son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum, and don’t disturb public henceforth.” The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied, “We are on the way back from hospital; my son got discharged today morning. He was blind by birth, last week only he got his vision by a very kind person who wished to donate his eyes after his death. These rain and nature are new to my son’s eyes. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused.”

The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.

A great love? It’s when you shed tears and still you care for him, it’s when he ignores you and still you long for him. It’s when he begins to love another and yet you still smile and say ‘I’m happy for you.’
