EFFORT


Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed?
The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and
when he arrived, he immediately went to work.
He inspected the engine verycarefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer.
He gently tapped something.
Instantly, the engine lurched into life.
He carefully put his hammer away.
The engine was fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"
So they wrote the old man a note saying,
"Please send us an itemized bill."
The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer ...................... . $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap ............................ $ 9998.00
Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.

GRIEVANCE FORUM - LET'S CHANGE INDIA


Can you imagine this is happening in INDIA ?
Government of India has an online Grievance forum at
http://darpg-grievance.nic.in/
The government wants people to use this tool to highlight the problems they faced while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc.
I know many people will say that these things don't work in India , but this actually works
So use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility.
This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the ' System ' in India . Invite your friends to contribute for many such happenings.
SPREAD THIS MESSAGE IF U WANT OUR INDIA TO CHANGE.

GOD'S WAYS!


Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods.
They were discussing their hopes and dreams when
thefirst tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasurechest. I could be filled with gold, silver andprecious gems. I could be decorated with intricatecarving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the watersand sail to the corners of the world. Everyone willfeel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to mybranches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams wouldcome true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees.
When one came to the first tree he said, "This lookslike a strong tree, I think I should be able to sellthe wood to a carpenter" ... and he began cutting itdown.
The tree was happy, because he knew that thecarpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like astrong tree, I should be able to sell it to theshipyard."
The second tree was happy because he knewhe was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the treewas frightened because he knew that if they cut himdown his dreams would not come true.
One of thewoodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from mytree so I'll take this one", and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he wasmade into a feed box for animals. He was then placedin a barn and filled with hay. This was not at allwhat he had prayed for.
The second tree was cut andmade into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being amighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.
Thethird tree was cut into large pieces and left alone inthe dark. The years went by, and the trees forgotabout their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in thefeed box that was made from the first tree.
The manwished that he could have made a crib for the baby,but this manger would have to do. The tree could feelthe importance of this event and knew that it had heldthe greatest treasure of all time. Years later, agroup of men got in the fishing boat made from thesecond tree.
One of them was tired and went to sleep.While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keepthe men safe. '
The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At thistime, the tree knew that it had carried the King ofKings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It wascarried through the streets as the people mocked theman who was carrying it.
When they came to a stop, theman was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill.
When Sunday came, the treecame to realize that it was strong enough to stand atthe top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that
when things don't seemto be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you.
If you place your trust in Him, He will giveyou great gifts.
Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. '
We don't always know what God's plans are for us.
We justknow that His ways are not our ways, but His ways arealways best.

THE PROBLEM WITH GIRLS

If u TREAT her nicely, she says u are IN LOVE with her;
If u Don't she says u are PROUD.
If u DRESS Nicely, she says u are trying to LURE her;
If u Don't, she says u are from Bangalore.
If u ARGUE with her, she says u are STUBBORN;
If u keep QUIET,! she says u have no BRAINS.
If u are SMARTER than her, she'll lose FACE;
If she's Smarter than u, she is GREAT.
If u don't Love her, she tries to POSSESS u;
If u Love her, she will try to LEAVE u .(very true huh?)
If u don't make love with her., she says! u don't Love her;
If u do!! she says u are CHEAP.
If u tell her your PROBLEM, she says u are TROUBLESOME;
If u don't, she says that u don't TRUST her.
If u SCOLD her, u are like a CHACHA to her;
If she SCOLDS u, it is because she CARES for u.
If u BREAK your PROMISE, u Cannot be TRUSTED;
If she BREAKS hers, she is FORCED to do so.
If u SMOKE, u are BAD BOY;
If she SMOKES, she is a GENTLELADY.
If u do WELL in your exams, she says it's LUCK;
If she does WELL, it's BRAINS.
If u HURT her, u are CRUEL;
If she HURTS u, u are too SENSITIVE!! & sooo > > hard to please!!!!!
If u show this to girls, they will swear that it's not true.......
but if u don't, they say u are selfish.....
The moral of the story is....... SHOW THIS TO GIRLS OUT ANYWAY...
Send it to boys also, gives them some laughter ...
Words to remember for a while
Boys are like apples on trees.
The best ones are at the top of the tree.
The girls don't want to reach for the good ones because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground, that aren't as good, but easy.
So the apples at the top think that there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing.
That is why we just have to be a little patient and the right girl, the one who takes a chance to find the good, right apple, will come someday

WHO DIES?

"Dies a bit
he who doesn't travel,
he who doesn't read,
he who doesn't listen to music,
he who doesn't find humor in himself.

Dies a bit
he who destroys his own love,
he who doesn't allow himself to help.

Dies a bit
he who passes the days complaining of his bad luck
or detesting the never ending rain.

Dies a bit
he who abandons a project before starting it,
he who does not ask because of fear to make a fool out of himself
he who does not answer a question he knows the answer to.
We keep avoiding death,
reminding us that to be alive requires an effort much greater
than the simple fact of breathing.
Only the ardent patience will help us conquer a splendid happness.It
all depends on how we live it"

Pablo Neruda (Nobel Prize for literature 1971)

WHY ME?


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 whichconveyed:
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
The world over --
50M children start playingtennis,
5M learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis,
50,000come to the circuit,
5,000 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,
Success keeps you Glowing,
But only God Keeps you Going.....
Keep Going.....
