A stranger stabs you in the front; a friend stabs you in the back; a boyfriend stabs you in the heart, but best friends only poke each other with straws.

Sometimes you just feel everything and nothing all at once.Sometimes you’ll find yourself smiling while missing something at the same time.Life comes without guarantees.Accept that smiling will brighten your face. Laughing will enhance your eyes. And Falling in love will change your life..

A teacher from Primary School asked her students to write a essay about what they would like God to do for them. At the end of the day, while marking the essays, she read one that made her very emotional. Her husband, who had just walked in, saw her crying and asked her ‘What happened?’ She answered ‘Read this. It is one of my students’ essay.’ ‘Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special. Make me into a television. I want to take its place and live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place, And have my family around ME. To be taken seriously when I talk. I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions. I want to have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me. And I want my brothers to fight to be with me. I want to feel that family just leaves everything aside, every now and then, just to spend some time with me. And last but not least, ensure that I can make them all happy and entertain them. Lord I don’t ask you for much. I just want to live like a TV.’ At that moment the husband said ‘My God, poor kid. What horrible parents! ‘. The wife looked up at him and said ‘That essay is our son’s !!!’

Why We Shout in Anger? A saint found a group of family members on the river bank shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled and asked. ‘Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?’ Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, ‘Because we lose our calm, we shout.’ ‘But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.’ asked the saint . Disciples couldn’t give satisfactory explanation. Finally the saint explained, . ‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance. What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small…’ The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that’s all. ’ He looked at his disciples and said. ‘So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.’

Remove yesterday’s junk “You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.” ~ Louise Smith

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”

Be Real and always tell the Truth “One lie is all it takes for someone to lose their faith in you. The best you can do is always be upfront, always be real and always tell the truth.”

“Sometimes you need a hug from the right person, all your stress will melt away.”
