One who has ability to see and hear , can not keep a secret. If he does not speak his unspeakable body-parts speak it out . the truth oozes out of him at other pores.
Being entirely honest with oneself is safe and ultimately successful .
Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.
What we think , we become ; we are really our thoughts and we make the world . Everywhere & in everything there is beauty, we need to see it .
Opposition is not necessarily enmity; it is merely a pretext to enmity .
The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh above water.
What we call happiness only comes from the satisfaction of needs which have really no limits .
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should pray for .
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results.

FIND OUT GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
*A human being is a deciding being.
*Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
*Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
*Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.
*Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
*Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.
*Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way..
*For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.
*I recommend that the Statue of Liberty be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the west coast.
*Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
*Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
*The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances.
*Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked.
*What is to give light must endure burning.
*When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.

MAKING OF PERSONALITY : SMALL THINGS GROW GREAT
Personalty is formed by a variety of minute circumstances, more or
less under the regulation and control of the individual. Not a
day passes without its discipline, whether for good or for evil.
There is no act, however trivial, but has its train of
consequences, as there is no hair so small but casts its shadow.
It was a wise saying ; never to give way to what is little; or by that little, however you may
despise it, you will be practically governed.
Every action, every thought, every feeling, contributes to the
education of the temper, the habits, and understanding; and
exercises an inevitable influence upon all the acts of our future
life. Thus Personalty is undergoing constant change, for better or
for worse--either being elevated on the one hand, or degraded on
the other. "There is no fault nor folly of my life," says Mr.
Ruskin, "that does not rise up against me, and take away my joy,
and shorten my power of possession, of sight, of understanding.
And every past effort of my life, every gleam of rightness or good
in it, is with me now, to help me in my grasp of this art and its
vision."
The mechanical law, that action and reaction are equal, holds true
also in morals. Good deeds act and react on the doers of them;
and so do evil. Not only so: they produce like effects, by the
influence of example, on those who are the subjects of them. But
man is not the creature, so much as he is the creator, of
circumstances: and, by the exercise of his freewill, he can
direct his actions so that they shall be productive of good rather
than evil. "Nothing can work me damage but myself," said St.
Bernard; "the harm that I sustain I carry about with me; and I am
never a real sufferer but by my own fault."
The best sort of Personalty, however, cannot be formed without
effort. There needs the exercise of constant self-watchfulness,
self-discipline, and self-control. There may be much faltering,
stumbling, and temporary defeat; difficulties and temptations
manifold to be battled with and overcome; but if the spirit be
strong and the heart be upright, no one need despair of ultimate
success. The very effort to advance--to arrive at a higher
standard of growth than we have reached--is inspiring and
invigorating; and even though we may fall short of it, we cannot
fail to be improved by every, honest effort made in an upward
direction.
The man of character is conscientious. He puts his conscience
into his work, into his words, into his every action .
"The man of noble spirit," says Sir Thomas Overbury, "converts all
occurrences into experience, between which experience and his
reason there is marriage, and the issue are his actions. He moves
by affection, not for affection; he loves glory, scorns shame, and
governs and obeys with one countenance, for it comes from one
consideration. Knowing reason to be no idle gift of nature, he is
the steersman of his own destiny. Unto the society of
men he is a sun, whose clearness directs their steps in a regular
motion. He is the wise man's friend, the example of the
indifferent, the medicine of the vicious. Thus time goes not
from him, but with him, and he feels age more by the strength of
his soul than by the weakness of his body.
(From Samuel Smiles , Character .)

OF MEN GOOD & GREAT .
"Unless above himself he can
Erect himself, how poor a thing is man"--DANIEL.
"Character is moral order seen through the medium, of an
individual nature.... Men of character are the conscience of
the society to which they belong."--EMERSON.
"The prosperity of a country depends, not on the abundance of its
revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the
beauty of its public buildings; but it consists in the number of
its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment,
and character; here are to be found its true interest, its chief
strength, its real power."--MARTIN LUTHER.
Character is one of the greatest motive powers in the world. In
its noblest embodiments, it exemplifies human nature in its
highest forms, for it exhibits man at his best.
Men of genuine excellence, in every station of life--men of
industry, of integrity, of high principle, of sterling honesty of
purpose--command the spontaneous homage of mankind. It is
natural to believe in such men, to have confidence in them, and to
imitate them. All that is good in the world is upheld by them,
and without their presence in it the world would not be worth
living in.
Although genius always commands admiration, character most secures
respect. The former is more the product of brain-power, the
latter of heart-power; and in the long run it is the heart that
rules in life. Men of genius stand to society in the relation of
its intellect, as men of character of its conscience; and while
the former are admired, the latter are followed.
Great men are always exceptional men; and greatness itself is but
comparative. Indeed, the range of most men in life is so limited,
that very few have the opportunity of being great. But each man
can act his part honestly and honourably, and to the best of his
ability. He can use his gifts, and not abuse them. He can strive
to make the best of life. He can be true, just, honest, and
faithful, even in small things. In a word, he can do his Duty in
that sphere in which Providence has placed him.
Intellectual culture has no necessary relation to purity or
excellence of character."A handful of good life," says George Herbert, "is worth a bushel of
learning." Not that learning is to be despised, but that it must
be allied to goodness. Intellectual capacity is sometimes found
associated with the meanest moral character with abject servility
to those in high places, and arrogance to those of low estate. A
man may be accomplished in art, literature, and science, and yet,
in honesty, virtue, truthfulness, and the spirit of duty, be
entitled to take rank after many a poor and illiterate peasant.
"You insist," wrote Perthes to a friend, "on respect for learned
men. I say, Amen! But, at the same time, don't forget that
largeness of mind, depth of thought, appreciation of the lofty,
experience of the world, delicacy of manner, tact and energy in
action, love of truth, honesty, and amiability--that all these
may be wanting in a man who may yet be very learned."
Still less has wealth any necessary connection with elevation of
character. On the contrary, it is much more frequently the cause
of its corruption and degradation. Wealth and corruption, luxury
and vice, have very close affinities to each other. Wealth, in
the hands of men of weak purpose, of deficient self-control, or of
ill-regulated passions, is only a temptation and a snare--the
source, it may be, of infinite mischief to themselves, and often
to others.
'No man," once said Sir Benjamin Rudyard, "is
bound to be rich or great,--no, nor to be wise; but every man is
bound to be honest."

SCRAPS SENT TO FRIENDS
Value the time ; feel pleasure in working /studying ; know that simplicity is the best dignity ; the real worth lies in truth honesty and character ; love and kindness/mercy are the mightiest power in the world ; example is the best influence ; economy in all fields of life is the best wisdom ; patience and humility are the best of virtues ; self improvement is the great talent and the greatest joy to serve by sacrifice .
Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained. Love those who are your friends and love you and love also those who think themselves your enemy and hate you . Thus love is attained. - MK Gandhi .
Miseries Of The Rich (Poor can not even guess of it ). Those Rich have bed but not sleep ; food not hunger ; luxuries not happiness ; pleasure not humanity ; cosmetics not beauty ; temple not purity ; obedience not honor ;position not equality ; sensual-satisfaction not love ;kingdom not peace ;power not moral-force and money not contentment. So says , Jesus in Bible , '' Blessed Are Those Who Are Poor . ''
'' Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.''- Lord Buddha .
'' There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.'' - Mother Teresa
'' Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.'' - Henery James .
May God grant you good work and keep you busy ;
May your purse always hold money and mind , mercy &love ;
May light of knowledge and rainbow of happiness greet you all seasons ;
May your friend always be a true friend ;
May your heart be full of goodness & gladness ;
And your life a sunny-day life ;.
With prayer ; to be so all around .

TRAITS OF GOOD MANAGER
'' Healthy acts of kindness are often simple, so why do we engage in them less than we should? Are we insensitive to others, or less caring than we should be? We get so busy with our lives that we forget. But we can change all of that .. And some of them are so simple. We forget that looking a person in the eye and smiling may make their day. '' -Ann. E. Smith.
1- Leadership -Strong managers tend to have natural or well developed leadership skills. They know how to take charge without making others feel small. They know how to make critical decisions. And they know how to motivate their team members to deliver strong results. These are some of the basic leadership skills, and they are crucial for someone who wants to do a fine job managing others. Leaders tend to intuitively know when to pick battles and when to regroup. They are usually people of courage, and they display that in many ways.
2 -Competence and talent -Strong managers should be highly competent in the functions they oversee, and they should also have talent. Those who are good at management need to know how to get the job done. Otherwise, how can they best advise others to accomplish what must get done?
3 -Excellent relationship skills - Those who manage well tend to have excellent relationship skills. They are good with people, and they know how to get along with all kinds of personalities.........
Their relationship skills are required not only to lead and motivate their subordinates. Strong interpersonal skills are also critical for handling relationships with those in upper management as well as outside parties.
4 -Openness - Good managers are open to the ideas of others. They may not always go along with them, but they are willing to listen and to find out what others think. They also invite feedback from those who report to them. Instead of being threatened by such feedback, a quality manager recognizes that hearing such information is critical for continued success.
5 - Mentoring role - A good manager looks to mentor those who report to him. He wants others to succeed, and actually cares about the development of his employees. Instead of looking out for only himself, this kind of manager looks out for the good of the team as well as of individuals who comprise it. He mentors others to be successful, and sees this mentoring as a huge responsibility .
