Attitude....
Someone once approached Blaise Pascal, the famous French Philosopher and said, "If I had your brains, I would be a better person". Pascal replied, "Be a better person and you will have my brains".
The Calgary Tower stands at 190.8 meters. The total weight of the tower is 10,884 tons, of which 6,349 tons is below ground (approx. 60%). This shows that some of the greatest buildings have the strongest foundations. Just like a great building stands on a strong foundation, so does success. And the foundation of success is attitude.

Look For The Gold
Andrew Caregie came to America form Scotland as
a young boy. He started out by doing odd jobs and ended up as a one of the
largest steel manufactures in United States. At one time, he had 43
millionaires working for him. A million dollars is a lot of money today, but in
the 1920s it was worth much more.
Someone once asked Mr. Carneige how he dealt
with the people. Andrew Carneige replied, ” Dealing with people is a lot like
digging for gold: When you go digging for an ounce of gold you have to move
tons of dirt. But when you go digging, you don’t go looking for the dirt, you
go looking for the gold.”
Andrew Carneige’s reply has very important
message. Though sometimes it may not be apparent there is something positive in
every person and every situation. We have to dig deep to look for the positive.
Always look for the positive in every moment
your life that keeps you happy forever.

Does God Exist?
One Of The Best Arguments.!! I have ever read
Don’t miss even a single word…. It’s Too good
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his
class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and…..
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he
prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again,
young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From….God…
Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in
this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did
make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred?
Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to
identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God,
smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that
matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable,
demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist.
What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science
has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture the after becomes very quiet with this
turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more
heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat..
But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit
458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after
that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe
the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy Cold is not the
opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there
such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the
absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
light, flashing light…..But if you have no light
constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality,
darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t
you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young
man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical
premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of
duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad
God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can
measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.. It uses electricity and
magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view
death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot
exist as a substantive thing. Death is
not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students
that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural
evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your
own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile,
beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process
of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going
endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a
preacher? (The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever
seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard
the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have
done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,
demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due
respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the
student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith,
son.
Student: That is it sir… The link between man &
god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation…and if
so…you’ll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same…won’t
you?….this is a true story, and the
student was none other than …….
APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India
The Story Of Blind Girl
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:
“Just take care of my eyes dear.”
This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.
Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word–think of someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food–think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife–think of someone who is crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life–think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children–think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep–think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive–think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job–think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another–remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down–put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.
.........Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, and Fulfill it..........

One day, Premchand call Ramchand and gave him a boxful of cash saying, “Look my dear friend. I am blessed with plenty of wealth. I find you in poverty. So, take this cash and live in prosperity.”
Ramchand was overwhelmingly happy. He was joyful throughout the day. Night came. Ramchand went to bed as usual. But, to-day, he could not sleep. He went and closed the doors and windows. He still could not sleep. He began to keep on looking at the box of cash. The whole night he was disturbed.
As soon as day broke, Ramchand took the box of cash to Premchand. He gave away the box to Premchand saying, “Dear Friend, I am poor. But, your money took away peace from me. Please bear with me and take back your money.”
Do Not Drink & Drive
I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old..
TheCashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money?''
I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.'' The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much . I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.
I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God.. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister...''
My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go
to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly..
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'
Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.'
I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I
started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I
remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The
little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical
state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever...
The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is
still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.
Please DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.
