"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool."
Well so what? fools have lot offun.
"To weep is to risk being called sentimental."
Of course I'm sentimental. I love it. Tears can help.
"To reach out to another is to risk involvement."
Who's risking involvement?I want to be involved.
"To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self.
" What else do I haveto show.
"To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naïve."
Oh, I'm called worse things than that.
"To love is to risk not being loved in return,"
I don't love to be loved inreturn.
"To live is to risk dying."
I'm ready for it.
"To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure."
But risks must be taken,
because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but he simply cannot learn and feel and change
and grow and love and live.
Chained by his certitudes he's a slave.
He's forfeited his freedom.
Only the person who risks is truly free.
Try it and see what happens
To talk about something is only the beginning.
Insight is only half the solution.
The rest of it is getting out and doing it.

ALL FOR GOOD
Maybe the God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one
so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens,
but often times we look so long at the closed door
that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like
it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it,
but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance
that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return;
just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life
when you miss someone so much that
you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be, because you have this life
and it is a chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have
the best of everything; they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who are hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
Love begins with a smile,
grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,
you can't go on well in life
until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling
and everyone around you is crying.
Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship. And if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message.

I'll Come running................
Say my name and I'll come running,
that's all you'd have to do.
I'll take away a sky that's grey
and paint it all with blue;
I'll be your rainbow after rain...
I'd do anything for you.
So, if you ever feel like you will fall
I'll be here to catch you in my arms;
If you're ever in any danger-
I want to shelter you from harm.
If tears should ever fall
down your beautiful milky face
I want to be the one
to catch them and put them in their place.
I'd do anything to see you smile,
I'd give it endless tries;
I was born without wings
but because of you
I know now how to fly.
that's all you'd have to do.
I'll take away a sky that's grey
and paint it all with blue;
I'll be your rainbow after rain...
I'd do anything for you.

to catch them and put them in their place.
I'd do anything to see you smile,
I'd give it endless tries;
I was born without wings
but because of you
I know now how to fly.
And I kissed you . . .
And I kissed you in the darkness of a daydream
Among the thick mists of a foggy night's greeting
Not once, not twice, but repeatedly
I kissed you in passion of a meeting
A destiny across a thousand dreams
Across eternity and back
And I kissed you in the cold night air
RepeatedlyOur dreams consumed in the grip of destiny
Lovers engulfed in mindless pursuit of love
I kissed you for hours in the coldness of night
Uncaring, needing and loving you
A love beyond imagination
Of countless choruses of angels
In a black misty nightUncaring
And I kissed you as never before
Meeting again this way
I kissed you with a passion that grew from a myriad memories
Of endless dreams of loving
Endlessly And I kissed you . . .

Living Life .....................
A group of working adults got together to visit their University
lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.
The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks forthemselves.
When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
What all you wanted was water, not the cup,but we unconsciously went for the better cups."
"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."
"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it."
- Mother Teresa

LIFE ………………………
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for Balance in your life." How?
* Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
* Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
* Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
* Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
* Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
* Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
* Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
* Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time.
* The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
* Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
* Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
* Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
* Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.
Life, life is a dream -The dream of our existence,Sweet ecstasy or bitter visions.We breathe and think –In consequence we liveBut what is lifeWithout death’s lugubrious being?Is death the end of the dreamWe call “life”And the beginning of our trueNature?The bridge betweenLaughter and tears,Paradise and hell,Existence and non-existence.
This is our life:An endless row of voicesRepeating Hamlet’s obsessive question:To be or not to be?Where is the end andHow far is the beginning?
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disasterAnd treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you have spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss;
And if you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are goneAnd so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will, which says to them: “Hold on!”If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more- you will be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
