			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Attitude, thats what life is all about.. And the perspective through which we see everything&#8230; It may seem very difficult to see everything with a positive attitude, but seriously, this proves that its possible!<br />
    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,&#8221; she said, &#8220;I think I&#8217;ll braid my hair today&#8230;&#8221; So she did and she had a wonderful day.<br />
   The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. &#8220;Hmmm,&#8221; she said, &#8220;I think I&#8217;ll part my hair down the middle today&#8230;&#8221; So she did and she had a grand day.<br />
   The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. &#8220;Well,&#8221; she said, &#8220;today I&#8217;m going to wear my hair in a pony tail&#8230;.&#8221; So she did and she had lots of fun that day.<br />
   The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn&#8217;t a single hair on her head. &#8220;Yay!&#8221; she exclaimed, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have to fix my hair today!&#8221;</p>
<p>   Haha, just an hair falling (not hair rising) incident out of an old woman&#8217;s life, can teach us so much&#8230; Though of course, i dunno whether its practically possible&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>A small intro to anyone who doesn&#8217;t know about <strong><em>Noah</em></strong>&#8230;.</p>
<p><font face="Arial">Noah&#8217;s ark is the boat built by the Biblical character Noah. At the command of God, <strong><em>according to the story</em></strong>, 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). </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">And so the story goes&#8230;&#8230;.</font></p>
<p>But the main point is,<br />
Everything(Well, not everything, but a few) I need to know about life, I learned from Noah&#8217;s Ark&#8230; </p>
<p>One: Don&#8217;t miss the boat.<br />
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat. <br />
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn&#8217;t raining when Noah built the Ark.<br />
Four: Stay fit. When you&#8217;re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something<br />
really big.<br />
Five: Don&#8217;t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.<br />
Six: Build your future on high ground.<br />
Seven: For safety&#8217;s sake, travel in pairs.<br />
Eight: Speed isn&#8217;t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the<br />
cheetahs.<br />
Nine: When you&#8217;re stressed, float a while.<br />
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.</p>

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the &#8220;Peanuts&#8221; comic strip. You don&#8217;t have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through, and you&#8217;ll get the point.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Charles Schultz Philosophy </p>
<p>The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the &#8220;Peanuts&#8221; comic strip. You don&#8217;t have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through, and you&#8217;ll get the point.<br />
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.<br />
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.<br />
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.<br />
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.<br />
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.<br />
6. Name the last decade&#8217;s worth of World Series winners.</p>
<p>How did you do?<br />
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.<br />
Here&#8217;s another quiz. See how you do on this one:<br />
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.<br />
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.<br />
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.<br />
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.<br />
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.</p>
<p>Easier?<br />
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.</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry about the world coming to an end today. It&#8217;s already tomorrow in Australia.&#8221;<br />
Charles Schultz</p>

Hi&#8230;<br />
     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&#8230; It all depends on us, the way we take and the turn we make&#8230; 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&#8217;t it our own decisions, mistakes, choices, wants, likes, dislikes etc., that make our way a crooked one or a straight one?<br />
    If our road is too bumpy and rough ( and yeah, am not talking about the chennai roads <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ) 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&#8230; Though this may sound far fetched its true&#8230; 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&#8230;<br />
    And, this is just &#8216;my&#8217;opinion on life&#8230;.</p>
