GREATEST WISH- soft and kind message - must read

2010-09-17T21:41:00.000-07:00

When the Lord opened a window to Heaven, he saw me, and

he asked: My child, what is your greatest wish for today?

I responded:"Lord please, take care of the person who is reading this message, their family and their special friends. They deserve it and I love them very much".

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not its end. This message works on the day you receive it. To some it may sound dumb, but the person who sent this to me was impressed with the time. Let us see if it is true.

ANGELS EXIT, but some times, since they don't all have wings we call them FRIENDS, SUCH AS YOU. Pass this on to your true friends.

You Can Do It

2010-09-16T00:28:00.000-07:00

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you'd like to win, But you think you can't,

It's almost sure you won't!

If you think you'll lose, you've lost,

For out in the world you find success begins with the will,

Its all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are.

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to think of yourself

Before you can ever win the prize!

If you don't try the race is lost, Before even a step is run

Think big and your deeds will grow,

Think small and you'll fall behind,

Think that you can and you will,

It's all in the state of mind!

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man.

But sooner or late the who wins, is the one who thinks he can!

Degree of Utilization- Buddha

2010-09-14T20:36:00.000-07:00

Here is an example of degree of utilization please read carefully and implement if possible.

One day, Buddha was in deep thought about the ways of instilling goodness in human beings. One of his disciples approached him and said humbly "Oh my teacher! While you are so concerned about the world and others, why don't you look into the welfare and needs of your own disciples as well?"

Buddha: "OK... Tell me how I can help you".
Disciple: "Master! My attire is worn out and is not decent to wear the same. Can I get a new one,please?"

Buddha found that the robe was in a bad condition and needed replacement. He asked the store keeper to give the disciple a new robe. The disciple thanked Buddha and retired to his room. A while later, Buddha went to his disciple and asked him "Is your new attire comfortable? Do you need anything more?"
Disciple: "Thank you Master. The attire is very comfortable. I need nothing more."

Buddha: "Having got the new one, what did you do with your old attire?"
Disciple: "I am using it as my bed spread."

Buddha: "Then... hope you have disposed off your old bed spread."
Disciple: "No, Master. I am using my old bedspread as my window curtain."

Buddha: "What about your old curtain?"
Disciple: "Being used to handle hot utensils in the kitchen."

Buddha: "Then, can you tell me what happened to the old cloth used in kitchen?"
Disciple: "It is being used to wash the floor."

Buddha: "The old rug being used to wash the floor...?"
Disciple: "Master, since it was totally torn, we could not think of any better use, but to use it as a twig in the oil lamp, which is right now lit in your study room."

Buddha smiled in contentment and left for his room.

If not to this degree of utilisation, can we at least make the best use of all our resources at home and in office?
