The Joys of Life
Written by Joe

Pick flowers * Walk in the rain * Admire nature
Hug trees * Kick leaves * Climb a hill
Be happy * Nurture and nourish your spirit
Believe in miracles * Listen to music * Write letters
Cook a meal for a friend * Dance under the stars
Take a risk * Learn from mistakes * Look for joy
Go on a holiday * Fly a kite * Splash in puddles
Believe you can and you will
Begin Today

 

 

Power of Optimism
Written by TANYA SHARMA

Like the shining stars and glimmering moonlight
turning devilish night into a beautiful sight
optimism inside us can reignite
ashes of hope spreading its flares far and bright

it's like a boat stuck in the sea
believing one day it will be on its spree
with optimism we can overcome any difficulty merrily
because I know during my fall god is there to carry me

those twittering birds flying around
no shelter and food still they never frown
optimism teaches us that happiness is not a crown
but having the ability to look beyond our imperfections will never keep us down

like the constant flow of a stream
overcoming the hurdles in its realm
optimistic mind can aid us to redeem
by reminding us "Dare To Dream"

kudos to the man who discovered optimism
it has rescued many from cataclysm
now I believe I can be the reason
to bring someone a happy season!

 

 

The Best I Can Be
Written by Kevin B

Today I began the rest of my life,
Take the good with the bad, sometimes cuts like a knife.
I'll change a few things, for tomorrow will be, a brand new day
for me to see, that my life is special and I'm supposed to share,
reliving the bad will get me nowhere.
I'll begin again tomorrow,
With the good in my heart, to be the best I can be, that's the best way to start

 

 

A SMILE
Written by Don Head

May brighten up a cloudy day
Can make you feel good
Sometimes a hurt will disappear
Here’s hoping that more would
Heart welcomes what the eyes can see
An attitude could change
Inside warms from its glowing beam
No matter what the range
Like sun, but won’t affect your sight
Nor will it harm your skin
Can instantly bring happiness
Shine starts out as a grin
A smile can do all of this
Reflects a person’s grace
Less work with fewer muscles used
Makes an attractive face
And last but not least, one more thing
Kind of contagious too
Puts it back on the viewer’s face
When it is seen, it’s true

 

 

No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days

 

An elderly man in Mumbai calls his son in New York and says, 'I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage.... and that much misery is enough!'

 

'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.

 

'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the old man says.

 

'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!'

 

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'

 

She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, 'You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??' and she hangs up.

 

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.. 'Okay', he says, 'It's all set. They're both coming for our anniversary and paying their own airfare!!'

 

MORAL: No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days

 

A 12 Dollar Lesson

A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.

I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up.

The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver's seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.

Well! I looked around for a "Candid Camera!" Wouldn't you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell."

"You bet," he replied, "I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be.

I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well. I evaluate my personal assets and... wham! I became a cab driver.

One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXCEED the customer's expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being 'great' better than just getting by on 'average'"

Did I tip him big time? You bet! Corporate America's loss is the traveling folk's friend!

Lessons:

• Go an Extra Mile when providing any Service to others.

• There is no good or bad job. You can make any job good.

• Good service always brings good return

 

Mountain Story

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams:
"AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain:
"AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"

Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"

He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"

The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU
