Give someone 5 minutes of your life

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground.

"That's my son over there," she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.

"He's a fine looking boy" the man said. "That's my daughter on the bike in the white dress."

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter. "What do you say we go, Melissa?"

Melissa pleaded, "Just five more minutes, Dad. Please? Just five more minutes."

The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride her bike to her heart's content. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. "Time to go now?"

Again Melissa pleaded, "Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes."

The man smiled and said, "OK."

"My, you certainly are a patient father," the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said, "Her older brother Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I'd give anything for just five more minutes with him. I've vowed not to make the same mistake with Melissa.

She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. The truth is, I get Five more minutes to watch her play."

Life is all about making priorities, what are your priorities?
Give someone you love 5 more minutes of your time today!

What is Positive Attitude?

Story…

One of the most wonderful things about having a positive attitude is
the number of people it touches, many times in ways you'll never know.

Recently, I stopped by a convenience store to get a newspaper and a
pack of gum. The young woman at the checkout counter said, "That'll be
five dollars please" and as I reached into my wallet, the thought
occurred to me that a newspaper and gum didn't quite make it to five
dollars. When I looked up to get a "re-quote", she had a big smile on
her face and said, "Gotcha! I got to get my tip in there somehow!" I
laughed when I knew I'd been had. She then glanced down at the paper I
was buying and said, "I'm sick and tired of all this negative stuff on
the front pages. I want to read some good news for a change." She then
said, "In fact, I think someone should just publish a Good News
newspaper - a paper with wonderful, inspirational stories about people
overcoming adversity and doing good things for others. I'd buy one
every day!" She then thanked me for coming in and said, "Maybe we'll
get lucky tomorrow; maybe we'll get some good news" and she laughed.
She made my day.

The following day after my business appointments, I dropped by the same
store again to pick up bottled water, but a different young lady was
behind the counter. As I checked out I said, "Good afternoon" and
handed her my money for the water. She said nothing – not a word, not a
smile...nothing. She just handed me my change and in a negative tone,
ordered..."Next! "
It hit me right between the eyes: Two people, same age; one made me
feel great, and the other, well, made me feel that I had inconvenienced
her by showing up.
By the choices we make, by the attitudes we exhibit, we are influencing
lives every day in positive or negative ways.....our family, our peers,
our friends, and even strangers we've never met before and will never
meet again.

So when you brush your teeth every morning, and get ready for work, ask
yourself this important question, "Who do I want to be today?" "The
Grouch" or "The Good News Girl?" Your answer will go a long way toward
determining your success in business and in life. [Please forward this mail to

as many people as you can, it touched your life, now let it touch someone else’s.]

What is Faith?

There was a tightrope walker, who was so good that he could walk between two twenty stories building on a tight rope with a balancing pole. Thousands of people would watch him perform his breathtaking feat. After he walked across the building he would have his assistant sit on his shoulder and he would proceed to walk across the building. Everybody were amazed and gave him a thunderous applause. He asked them whether they believed that he could do it again. The crowd said, "Yes, we believe that you can!" After a while he asked the crowd again, "Now, who wants to volunteer to get on my shoulder?" With that the crowd became silent.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

There is a difference between Believe and Faith. We can believe what we see. In the above story, the crowd believed in the tightrope walker because they saw him perform the feat. But when he asked them "Who wants to get on my shoulder?" everyone was silent. You see, the crowd had Belief but they did not have Faith. This story clearly illustrates the difference between belief and having faith.

Live Life to the fullest

Please do read this ... do not be too busy Earning a Living and in the process Forget to Live.  Here is a hair-raising story, which shows the importance of Time Management and understanding what Life and Priorities are all about.

Trust you will enjoy the read and start Living each day.. each moment...!!!

A friend of mine opened his wife's saree drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

"This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package." He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

"She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on. Was saving it for a special occasion.
Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said:

"Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".

I still think those words changed my life.

Now I read more and clean less. 

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. 

I spend more time with my family, and less at work. 

I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. 

I no longer keep anything. 

I use crystal glasses every day. 

I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. 

The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary. 

If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. 

I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.

She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. 

I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food. 

It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come. 

I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... letters that i wanted to write "One of these days".

I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brothers and sons, not times enough at least, how much I love them.

Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives.

And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day.

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about.

If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it "One of these days", remember that 

"One day" is far away... or might never come...

Live everyday .. every moment as if it is your last day... last moment....!! !!

Who GOD uses?

God, grant me the Serenity

to accept the people I cannot change,

the Courage to change the one I can,

and the Wisdom to know it's me.

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you,

just remember...

Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
John the Baptist ate bugs
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying !

Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer...AND  
Lazarus was dead!

No more excuses now.

God can use you to your full potential.

Besides you aren't the message,

you are just the messenger.

1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
2. Dear God, I have a problem, it's me.
3. Growing old is inevitable . growing UP is optional.
4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
6. Do the math. count your blessings.
7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
9. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
12. The most important things in your house are the people.
13. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

Pearls of Wisdom

Look back to where you have been...
For a clue to where you are going.

Worry enough to anticipate trouble...
But not so much as to bring it about.

Melt the icy fingers of fear...
With the sunshine of hope.

Step by gentle step...
You can overcome the greatest sorrow.

The sweetest grapes...
Are picked from the vineyard of friendship.

Gossip is like a river...
It can always be traced back to its source.

An insecure person...
Will soak up flattery like a sponge.

Save the life of a helpless animal...
And you have done the work of God.

A mirror is only as good...
As the reflection in it.

Find something you truly believe in...
And everything else will have meaning as well.

Software Problem

In March 1992 a man living in Newton, near Boston, received a bill for his as yet unused credit card stating that he owed $0.00. He ignored it and threw it away. In April he received another and threw that one away, too. The following month the credit card company sent him a very nasty note stating they were going to cancel his card if he didn't send them $0.00 by return of post. He called them, talked to them, they said it was a computer error and told him they'd take care of it.

The following month our hero decided that it was about time that he tried out the troublesome credit card figuring that if there were purchases on his account it would put an end to his ridiculous predicament. However, in the first store that he produced his credit card in payment for his purchases, he found that his card had been cancelled.

He called the credit card company who apologized for the computer error once again and said that they would take care of it. The next day he got a bill for $0.00 stating that payment was now overdue. Assuming that having spoken to the credit card company only the previous day, the
latest bill was yet another mistake. So he ignored it, and trusted that the company would be as good as their word and sort the problem out.

The next month he got a bill for $0.00 stating that he had 10 days to pay his account or the company would have to take steps to recover the debt. Finally giving in he thought he would play the company at their own game and mailed them a check for $0.00. The computer duly processed his account and returned a statement to the effect that he now owed the credit card company nothing at all.

A week later, the man's bank called him asking him what he was doing writing a check for $0.00. After a lengthy explanation the bank replied that the $0.00 check had caused their check processing software to fail.

The bank could not now process ANY checks from ANY of their customers that day because the check for $0.00 was causing the computer to crash. The following month the man received a letter from the credit card company claiming that his check had bounced and that he now owed them $0.00 and unless he sent a check by return of post they would be taking steps to recover the debt.

The man, who had been considering buying his wife a computer for her birthday, bought her a typewriter instead.
