*A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he
thought she might need a hearing aid.
Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.
Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from
her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in
the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what
happens."
Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?"
No response.
So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his
wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his
wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?"
Again he gets no response so,
He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?"
Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

"James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!"
Moral of the story:
The problem may not be with the other person as we always think, could be
very much within us..!
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you
but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and
started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all
crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as
though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose
your value.
You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.
"VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED"
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
"The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "
"Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...
Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.
One day, he came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Kingdom, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant was happy.
The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?"
The man replied, "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much — just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies."
The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King's woes and the servant's story, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club."
"The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?" The King inquired. The advisor replied, "Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, let's place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep."
Next day the servant saw the bag, picked it up and took it in. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... So many gold coins!
He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. "What could've happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!" he wondered. He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive.
Finally, exhausted, he decided that he would have to work harder than ever to earn that one gold coin and complete his collection.
And from that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th coin. He stopped singing while he worked.
Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club..." He continued, "The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and striving for that extra one, telling themselves: "Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life."
That's what joining The 99 Club is all about. Do you want to join this Club?
Never blame a day in your life.
Good days gives you happiness.
Bad days gives you experience.
Both are essential in life!
All are God's blessings.
Confidence never comes if we have all the answers
but
it comes when we are ready for all questions..
So be bold to face the world.
Troubles are like washing machines,
they twist, turn and knock us around,
but
at the end we come out
cleaner,brighter and better than before.
Someone asked me "For how long will you both be friends?"
I remained silent
because
I didn't know which one is longer...
"Always" or "Forever"
Arguments may win the situation but it will not win one's heart!
so
when a situation comes, decide
whether you want to win
the situation
or
the person heart
Five lessons to learn from a pencil
1) Everything you do leaves a mark.
2) You can always correct your mistakes
3) Important is whats inside u, not outside of you.
4)In life you will undergo painful sharpenings, which make you better in what you do.
5) To be the best, allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.
Cheat and Love.
But
Don't Love and cheat.
Think and Love
but
Don't love and think.
Break the heart and love
but
don't love and break the heart.
Do not expect others to be like you...
Because
Life becomes really boring when you have to live only with your shadows.
Respect the uniqueness in every human.
Every man is searching his second mother in the name of LOVE...
But
Every woman gets her first child in the name of her LOVER....
The greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
Because
When you give your time, your giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back...
Whenever you want to know how rich you are don't count your money,
just drop a tear
and
love around the number of hands that reach out to wipe your tears.
The greatest weekness of most human is their hesitacy to tell others how much you love them while they are alive.
A big pot full of water can be emptied by a small hole,
Even a little anger or ego will burn up all the nobility of a good heart.
Best Ever thought :
"Work for a cause and not for applause"
"Live to express and not to impress"
"Tears are the silent language of love"
When the tears comes with reason means you got some problem.
But
When tears come without reason means you are missing someone!
