Great thoughts---Great Minds







Aristotle said so....
We make war that we may live in peace.
We are what we repeatedly do….Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way---you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than one who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self.
Law is mind without reason.
************************************************************************
Confucius said so...
The STRENGTH of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
The real fault is to have fault and not to amend them.
The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool.
The superior man is distressed by the limitation of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.
Virtue is never left to stand alone
Things that are done, it is needless to speak about; things that are past it is needless to blame

VODKA Is A Great Drink But There Are Some Other Uses of VODKA As Well


Thus always keep a bottle of Vodka handy ;)
1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves the adhesive.
2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set 5 minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.
3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.
4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry.
6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
7. Add a splash of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.
8. Fill a 16-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.
9. Pour 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 cup water in a freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, reusable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes...
10. Fill a clean, empty jar with freshly packed lavender flowers. Fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly, and set it in the sun for 3 days. Strain liquid, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.
11. Make your own mouthwash by mixing 9 tablespoons powered cinnamon with 1 cup vodka. Seal in an airtight container for 2 weeks. Strain through a coffee filter. Mix with warm water and rinse your mouth. (DON'T SWALLOW!)
12. Using a cotton swab, apply vodka to a cold sore to help it dry out.
13. If blister opens, pour vodka over the raw skin as a local anesthetic that also disinfects the exposed dermis.
14. To treat dandruff, mix 1 cup vodka with 2 teaspoons crushed rosemary. Let sit 2 days, strain through a coffee filter, massage into your scalp and dry.
15. To treat an earache, put a few drops of vodka in your ear. Let sit for a few minutes, then drain. Vodka will kill the bacteria causing pain in your ear.
16. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.
17. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
18. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.
19. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.

20. If all else fails, just turn the bottle upside-down and drink it. Then nothing else will matter anyway! - The best use of Vodka :-)
Not sure if these points are true. You need to try it out.
But I am sure about point number 20. You try it and nothing else will matter ;-)
Cheers (Hic)

Are you in love?

I'm sharing a lovely email with you all, I hope you will like it-----

When you are together with that special someone, you pretend to ignore that person. But when that special someone is not around, you might look around to find them.
At that moment, you are in love.
Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh, your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone. Then, you are in love.
Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back, to let you know of their safe arrival, your phone is quiet.You are desperately waiting for the call! At that moment, you are in love.
If you are much more excited for one short e-mail from that special someone than other many long e-mails, you are in love.
When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the emails or SMS messages in your phone because of one message from that special someone, you are in love.
When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would not hesitate to think of that special someone. Then, you are in love.
You keep telling yourself, "that special someone is just a friend”, but you realize that you can not avoid that person's special attraction. At that moment, you are in love.
While you are reading this mail, if someone appears in your mind, then u are in love with that person...;))

Bottomline

Don't be too good, I will miss you.
Don't be too caring, I might like you.
Don't be too sweet, I might fall for you.
It's hard for me to love you when you won't love me after all...
Bottomline: A person who makes me love him/her is actually a person who loves me more than I love him/her.

If someone comes into your life and becomes a part of you but for some reason she couldn't stay, don't cry too much... just be glad that your paths crossed and somehow she made you happy even for a while.
Bottomline: Time will tell, if she's yours he will come back

Two tear drops were floating down the river.
One teardrop said to the other, "I'm the teardrop of a girl who loved a man and lost him. Who are you?"
"I'm the teardrop of the man who regret letting a girl go..."
Bottomline: Nobody will sympathize a person who constantly let chances pass by without making any efforts to salvage. We normally don't realise how important our loved and closed ones are until they left us, we'll start reminiscences which results in misery.

Love can make you happy although often times it hurts.
But love is only special if you give it to which it's worth.
Bottomline: If you found someone who truly appreciates you, she deserves more of your love.

What If someone tells you this: I don't believe in courtship.
It's just a waste of time. If I love the person, I'll tell him/her right away.
But for you I will make an exception... just love me now and I'll court you forever...
Bottomline : Love needs time to realise, there might be love at first sight but it takes time to let one gradually discover their affection towards another, miss him/her when he/she is not around, hope to hear from he/she when the person has not written or called.

It's always better to have found the courage to love even if you lose it in the end, rather than never find love because you were too afraid of the challenge.
Bottomline: Don't give up if you face or think that you have competitors. It's always better to try... if you succeed, the reward is more than you can expect. But if you don't try or don't summon up the courage, you might lose the one you like/love forever...

The greatest challenge in our life is to find someone who knows our flaws and differences and yet still willingly embraces you with so much love.
Bottomline: Love is a means of self giving and self sacrificing, if he/she knows your flaws and is still willing to accept you, continue to like/love you as you are or even more, boy, you are lucky!
This person truly deserves your love and affection.

The spaces between our fingers were created so that another person's fingers could fill them in.
Bottomline: Open your heart, let people love you, never doubt their intentions, sincerity can be felt by the heart.
When you love, it is not for you to be understood but for you to understand; not for you to take but for you to be taken; to listen not to dictate; to sacrifice and not to demand; not to count or measure; but to love.
