Opportunities

No great man ever complains of want of opportunities.-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lord is the only Giver

In the world take always the position of the giver. Give everything and look forno return. Give love, give help, give service, give any little thing you can, butkeep out barter. Make no conditions, and none will be imposed. Let us give outof our own bounty, just as God gives to us.The Lord is the only Giver, all the men in the world are only shopkeepers. GetHis cheque, and it must be honoured everywhere."God is the inexplicable, inexpressible essence of love", to be known, but neverdefined.

-Swami Vivekananda.

Power of Thinking

The infinite strength of the world is yours. Drive out the superstition that has covered your minds. Let us be brave.By degrees the heart has to be strengthened. If one man is made, it equals the result of a thousand lectures.Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be; if you think yourselves impure, impure you will be; if you think yourselves pure, pure you will be. This teaches us not to think ourselves as weak, but as strong, omnipotent, omniscient.

-Swami Vivekananda

Every person is important

Every person is important.It does't matter whether u play the violin,the flute,the cello or the drums;u are still part of the orchestra.

Failure and Success

Future

Strength alone that leads to Truth

This is the one question I put to every man, woman, or child, when they are in physical, mental, or spiritual training. Are you strong? Do you feel strength? - for I know it is strength alone that leads to truth.

-Swami Vivekananda

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And Today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.

Occasional mistakes

An employee walks into the Accounts office and says "What is the meaning of this. I have been paid $200 less than what was decided upon."

The Accountant replies "I know about it, but you did not complain when we paid $200 extra by mistake last month."

The employee snaps back "Yeah, I can bear with occasional mistakes but when you make it a habit I think I need to report."
