Long back, a person who sacrificed his sleep, forgot his family, forgot his food, fogot laughter were called "Saints" But now they are called.. "IT professionals." An interesting line written at the back of a Biker's T Shirt: " If you are able to see this, Please tell me that my galfriend has fallen off." Most Relationships fail not because of the absence of love.. Love is always present.. Its just that, One loves too much, and The other loves too many. Employee: Boss, Now i have got married..! Please increase my salary..! BOSS: Factory is not responsible for accidents occurring outside the company..! Philosophy of life At the beginning of married life, every gal treats her husband as GOD, Later on somehow the alphabets got reversed..! What is a Fear? Fear is the Deep, Wrenching feeling in your stomach When pages of your book still smell new and Just few hours left for your exams..! Jus4Fun Someone has rightly said, "A fool can ask More questions that a wise man cannot answer" No Wonder why so many of us speechless when lecturers ask question..! Boy: Do you have Cards with sentimental Love quotes? Shopkeeper: Oh sure..! How about this card, it says "To the only Girl I ever loved.!" Boy: Thats good, Give me 12 of them..! After reading the form filled by an applicant.. The employer said: " We do have an opening for you..! Applicant: What is it? Interviewer: Its called the "door..!" A Banner cum Sign Board In front of an IT company.. Drive Slowly, Don’t kill our Employee... ..... Leave them to us .

Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken (1915)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other,as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Honesty is the best policy

I am in the habit of telling lies and only lies
So guys never take maddy seriously.
I have nothing original to offer
And I am very jealous of those who are original.
I envy them and salute them.
I will complain to God for not giving this tool.
But I am grateful to God for giving me so many other tools.
I can beg borrow and steal.
I can cut copy and paste. (God’s greatest gift to Internet users.)

I love to gossip.
If by any chance you find
any thing of yours on my page
Please do not hesitate to stake your claim.
Maddy like a good boy will acknowledge it
Or if you are very strong and well built
Hit the ‘delete button’ meekly.
Maddy believes in ‘non violence’
Not by choice but by compulsion.
Last but not the least with due apology to God
(I have not confessed this even to GOD)
Maddy is actually sleeping
when people think he is meditating.

About revenge and forgiveness.

Revenge or vengeance consists of retaliation
against a person or group in response to perceived wrongdoing.
Although many aspects of revenge
resemble or echo the concept of making things equal,
revenge usually has a more injurious
than constructive goal.
The vengeful wish to make the other side
go through what they went through
or make sure they'll never be able to do
what they did again.
The word Revenge is always
considered to a word with grey shades.
This word describes the feel of going against
the norms of society and committing a wrong deed.
"There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness." Josh Billings.

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." Mahatma Gandhi.

"Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge." Scott Adams.

"Revenge converts a little right into a great wrong." German Proverb.

"Never forget the three powerful resources
you always have available to you:
love, prayer, and forgiveness." H. Jackson Brown.

"To err is human, to forgive, divine."
Alexander Pope.

"Forgive all who have offended you,
not for them, but for yourself."
Harriet Nelson.

"To forgive is the highest,
most beautiful form of love.
In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness."
Robert Muller.
"Forgiveness does not change the past,
but it does enlarge the future. " Paul Boese.

"There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness. "
Josh Billings.

"Forgiveness is me giving up my right
to hurt you for hurting me." Anonymous.

"The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." Mahatma Gandhi.

"We are all full of weakness and errors;
let us mutually pardon each other our follies."Voltaire.

"Many people are afraid to forgive
because they feel they must remember
the wrong or they will not learn from it.
The opposite is true.
Through forgiveness,
the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold
on us so that we can learn from it.
Through the power and intelligence of the heart,
the release of forgiveness
brings expanded intelligence
to work with the situation more effectively."
David McArthur & Bruce McArthur.

"Forgiveness is a funny thing.
It warms the heart and cools the sting. "
William A. Ward.

"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend."
William Blake.

Think it over.

Listen to your intuition.
It will tell you everything you need to know.
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
“If you see a friendwithout a smile; give him one of yours.”
I am ready to meet my Maker.
Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Bad artists copy.
Good artists steal.
I believe.
When in doubt, do nothing.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
A man may well bring a horse to the water,
but he cannot make him drink. ~John Heywood
A problem shared is a problem halved.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
All good things must come to an end.
As soon as man is born he begins to die.
Attack is best form of defense.

My fav.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost.

Everything has its limit - iron ore cannot be educated into gold.
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.Be careful about reading health books.
You may die of a misprint.
Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.
Familiarity breeds contempt - and children.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Kindness is the language
which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Man - a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Name the greatest of all inventors. "Accident."
Noise proves nothing.
Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles
as if she laid an asteroid.
The first of April is the day we remember
what we are the other 364 days of the year.
The lack of money is the root of all evil.
The more things are forbidden,
the more popular they become.
There are basically two types of people.
People who accomplish things,
and people who claim to have accomplished things.
The first group is less crowded.
Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do.
Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

Disclaimer: These views are not mine.This is how Mark Twain felt.

About life, death and destiny.

What is life?
A madness.
What is life?
An illusion, a shadow, a story.
And the greatest good is little enough;
for all life is a dream,
and dreams themselves are only dreams.

“Every man dies - Not every man really lives.”

Life is a succession of moments.
To live each one is to succeed.

In life, the only certainty is uncertainty.

Expect nothing, live frugally on surprise.

Life is what happens to you
while you're busy making other plans.

And in the end,
it's not the years in your life that count.
It's the life in your years.

The most certain event in life is death,
and the most uncertain is it's timing.

The most difficult task in life
is to forget and forgive
and the easiest is to blame others and
destiny for ones failures.

Destiny: an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future.
Yes, I am a firm believer of destiny.
Who I am,
Where I am,
And what I am,
Are all because of some power
that we have not been able to identify.
Albert Einstein said,
“Everything is determined,
the beginning as well as the end,
by forces over which
we have no control.
It is determined for the insect,
as well as for the star.
Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust,
we all dance to a mysterious tune,
intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.”
There is no point in planning minutely.
Take life as it comes.
Remember:“It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead.
The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time.Winston Churchill”
No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made.
Destiny is made known silently.Agnes DeMille”
“Every man has his own destiny:
the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it,
no matter where it leads him.Henry Miller”
“To accomplish our destiny it is not enough to merely guard prudently against road accidents.
We must also cover before nightfall the distance assigned to each of us.Alexis”

About Happiness, success and failure.

"Happiness comes when your work and words
are of benefit to yourself and others."Buddha.

"Happiness is not in the mere possession of money;
it lies in the joy of achievement,
in the thrill of creative effort."
Franklin D. Roosevelt.

"Hatred ever kills,
love never dies.
Such is the vast difference between the two.
What is obtained by love is retained for all time.
What is obtained by hatred
proves a burden in reality
for it increases hatred."

"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful."Albert Schweitzer
"Yesterday I dared to struggle.
Today I dare to win."Bernadette Devlin.

"The distance between insanity and genius
is measured only by success."Bruce Feirstein.

"The deepest human defeat
suffered by human beings
is constituted by the difference between
what one was capable of becoming
and what one has in fact become."Ashley Montagu.

"A failure is a man who has blundered
but is not capable of cashing in on the experience."
Elbert Hubbard.

I am impressed.

A PSALM OF LIFE

("WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN
SAID TO THE PSALMIST")

TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream !
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real !
Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal ;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way ;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle !
Be a hero in the strife !

Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant !
Let the dead Past bury its dead !
Act,— act in the living Present !
Heart within, and God o'erhead !

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time ;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate ;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
