Positive thinking… Or maybe, attitude…

Attitude, thats what life is all about.. And the perspective through which we see everything… It may seem very difficult to see everything with a positive attitude, but seriously, this proves that its possible!
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today…” So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. “Hmmm,” she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today…” So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. “Well,” she said, “today I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail….” So she did and she had lots of fun that day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head. “Yay!” she exclaimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”

Haha, just an hair falling (not hair rising) incident out of an old woman’s life, can teach us so much… Though of course, i dunno whether its practically possible….

Noah’s Ark

A small intro to anyone who doesn’t know about Noah….

Noah’s ark is the boat built by the Biblical character Noah. At the command of God, according to the story, Noah was to build a boat that could accommodate his extended family, about 50,000 species of animals, and about one million species of insects. The craft had to be constructed to endure a divinely planned universal flood aimed at destroying every other person and animal on earth (except, I suppose, those animals whose habitat is liquid).

And so the story goes…….

But the main point is,
Everything(Well, not everything, but a few) I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark… 

One: Don’t miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat. 
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something
really big.
Five: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the
cheetahs.
Nine: When you’re stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Philosophy

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip. You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through, and you’ll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?
The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.

“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.”
Charles Schultz

Roads In Life

Hi…
Our life has many roads, some are bumpy, some are with too many forks and bends and some with none at all and some just straight… It all depends on us, the way we take and the turn we make… Fear, confusion etc., make our decision making hard and sound sense and a good motive makes it easy.. Whatever it be, some people blame the fate(?) for everything. Is it really the fate which does everything? Isn’t it our own decisions, mistakes, choices, wants, likes, dislikes etc., that make our way a crooked one or a straight one?
If our road is too bumpy and rough ( and yeah, am not talking about the chennai roads ) the only way to enjoy walking on it is to think about the joy and happiness we will be getting once we find our destination in it… Though this may sound far fetched its true… Or maybe we can think of people who travel through the perfectly straight roads without a single turn or bend in them.. That would be the life of a robotic person! Imagine how boring it would be.. To gain experience, we need knowledge and for knowledge, we need to travel, not the pleasant travel through a meadow, but a rough one through a forest…
And, this is just ‘my’opinion on life….
