“Excellence” is a drive from inside, not outside.

A German once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, “Do you need two statues of the same idol?” “No,” said the sculptor without looking up, “We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage.” The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. “Where is the damage?” he asked. “There is a scratch on the nose of the idol.” said the sculptor, still busy with his work. “Where are you going to install the idol?”

The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. “If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?” the gentleman asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, “I will know it..”

The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. “Excellence” is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency…

Red rose for my mother!

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.”

The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.

Moral: Don’t Send Artificial Loves to your parents. Give them the respect and courtesy they desire. They are your most precious Treasure, Care for them. God Forbid, if they leave this world then one can do nothing but regret.

Various Thoughts On Love

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations. Khalil Gibran It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it. Francois de La Rouchefoucauld Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. Dr. Karl Menninger My favourite: Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. Antoine de Saint-Exupery Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says: “I need you because I love you.” Erich Fromm Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations. Francois de La Rouchefoucauld To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever you’re wrong, admit it; whenever you’re right, shut up. Ogden Nash The course of true love never did run smooth. William Shakespeare Men always want to be a woman’s first love, women like to be a man’s last romance. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Interesting outlook!!

Once there was loving couple travelling in a
 bus in a mountainous area.
 They decided to get down at some place. After the
 couple got down at some place the bus moved on. As the
 bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the
 mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs. Everybody on
 board was killed.

 The couple upon seeing that, said, “We wish we
 were on that bus” Why do u think they said that?

“ If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to
 get down, the resulting time delay could have been
 avoided and the rock would have fallen after the bus
 had passed …!!!

 Think positive in life always and look for
 opportunities when u can help Others.”
