  Missing You Have you ever bothered to realize how much you mean to me? I care so much for you inside and miss you so deeply. My mind is always curious about the way things might have been. As days go by and time goes by, I look back once again. All the time I held you in my arms, I had the whole world right there. There you were, comforting me with all of your charms. was like a dream come true. This love that I have inside my heart, it all belonged to you! It's funny, all those little things I never thought I'd miss, Like all those conversations we had, I guess that what I'm trying to say, is I miss and love you more each day! It hurts me not to see you, or not to know if you're ok. I want you to understand that I loved you from the start. And I want you to know, no matter how many miles we may be apart, you'll always hold a special place in my heart.   -- "Life may not be the party we had hoped for... But while we are here, we might as well dance....

Generosity +++++++++++++++++++ Want to give yourself an instant boost? Be generous to someone and see how great it makes you feel.

Christmas Is Remembering... Christmas is remembering. . . The road to Santa Claus, The blessed time of childhood That meant so much. . . because It held the tinseled magic Of fairyland array, When all the world was laughter. . . And life was only play. Christmas is remembering. . . A tree ablaze with light, The family gathered closely And knowing deep delight. Exchanging gifts and sharing, The gaiety and song That star the festive season. . . Each time it comes along. Christmas is remembering. . . Our friends who're far and near, By giving and receiving. . . A season always dear. The mistletoe and holly, As scarlet tapers glow, The Christ Child in a manger. . . So very l ong ago. -- "Life may not be the party we had hoped for... But while we are here, we might as well dance." ---- G.A.

One evening a scholar was addressing the participants on the concept of work culture. One of the participants asked the following question : "I am a senior manager of Materials Department and I joined an organization  25 years ago as an Engineer Trainee and over the last 25 years, I have gone through every experience in the organization. During the initial part of my career, the job was very challenging and interesting. However, all those exciting days are gone since I do not find my joy any more interesting because there is nothing new in my job. I am now feeling bored because I am doing a routine job.

In these personal roles I do not feel bored Please tell me why I am bored of the routine in the office and ...

7 reasons not to mess with a child J          Do Go thru    J .............   One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"     A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was s...

   What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.          In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.          For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.           There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.         Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.           You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really l...

AGAIN I will learn that true happiness is not always to achieve my goals, but to learn to appreciate with what I have achieved. I will learn that I should control my attitude, and not let my attitude control me. I will learn that to be rich is not to have the most, but to need the least I will learn that it is futile to compare myself to others, because there is always someone better or worse than I am. I will learn that it takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it. I will learn that there are people who love me very much, but simply do not know how to show their feelings. I will learn to forgive by practising forgiveness. I will learn that I cannot make anyone love me, but learn to let myself be loved. I will learn that what is most valuable is not what I have in my life, but who I have in my life. I will learn that it only takes a few seconds to hurt people I love, and that it can take years to heal. I will learn that money can buy everything but happiness. ...

Dream Girl I remember the girl of my dreams found my soul and she placed my heart back in my "missing-heart hole" and my child like passion and wonder and pride returned, and i started to glow from inside She's the girl of my dreams she's the one that i love she's the girl of my dreams angel girl from above And her heart's always gentle and her heart's always pure and her spirit is strong and her mind, always sure And we fly through the stars in my dreams while i sleep exploring the universe vast, dark and deep Will you fly through the stars with me, dream girl tonight? Will you rest in my arms till the morning light, shines and reminds Through the sun's golden beams that love doesconquer all if we follow our dreams   A Friend's Smile   When everything's gone wrong today, And no one reacts to anything you say, And no matter how much you scream and cry, the world seems to be passing you by, And no one seems to notice or care, that you'r...

10 Steps To Better Decision Making Considering The Possibilities     1. Making a difficult choice can seem harrowing when you feel you're working alone. Involve others in your decision making by asking for criticism and seeking advice from those who can approach the choice from a fresh perspective. Listen to opinions that fall on both sides of the topic at hand. You may also want to consult an expert. 2. Learn from your mistakes as well as your triumphs. Examine decisions you have made in the past as they will teach you more than you will learn from most other sources. Though some decisions will not seem important, all decisions shape our lives and should be regarded as educational. Apply that knowledge to your current dilemma. 3. A good decision acted upon in a timely matter is always better than a great one acted upon too late. It is important to recognize that you will never know enough to make the perfect decision. Don't become paralyzed by your need to foresee al...

"Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." (Erica Jong) "The most instructive experiences are those of everyday life." (Friedrich Nietzsche) "I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers." (Kahlil Gibran) Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life." (Chinese Proverb) "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." (Ambrose Redmoon) "I not only use all the brains I have but all that I can borrow." ( W. Wilson ) " If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else." (Chinese Proverb) "Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave....

IT IS NOT EASY   To apologize, To begin over, To be unselfish, To take advice, To admit error, To face a sneer, To be charitable, To keep trying, To be considerate, To avoid mistakes, To profit from one's mistakes, To forgive and forget, To think and then act, To keep out of a rut, To make the best of little, To subdue an unruly temper, To shoulder a deserved blame, BUT IT ALWAYS PAYS!   -- "I don't have to be what somebody else wants me to be, and I am not afraid to be what i want to be." ---- G.A. -- "I don't have to be what somebody else wants me to be, and I am not afraid to be what i want to be." ---- G.A.

GUARDIAN OF LIFE Oh how I keep you near, so deep in my heart How I seem to hold the World so it won't fall apart. My life, My love oh so true What would I do if I didn't have you. I live each day thinking of you I dream each night of only us two. If I could take the sun and the stars I would hold them close and make them ours. Our life and our love, it is such a treasure My heart so full it can't be measured. Darling if I could, I'd take away your fears and hold you like no other and wipe away your tears.

But wanting to win is. 2.       You would achieve more, if you don't mind who gets the credit. 3.       When everything else is lost, the future still remains. 4.       Don't fight too much. Or the enemy would know your art of war. 5.       The only job you start at the top is when you dig a grave. 6.       If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything. 7.       If you do little things well, you'll do big ones better. 8.       Only thing that comes to you without effort is old age. 9.       You won't get a second chance to make the first impression. 10.

The Impact Of Inferiority by Heidy Schmidt The naked truth is the final trait of reality. Once, proud was I. As strong as an ox. As compassionate as a priest. As understanding as a therapist. I have succumbed to the lowest form of humanity. Courageous in my world of lies, my faith being deceit. Like partners, I have intertwined you with me, creating spontaneous combustion within my conscience. I have worn myself out by running from the truth. And now the mirrored image haunts me. I am without speech, for my words are offensive. I am without sight, for it is clouded. I am without heart, for it has hardened. I am without sound, for it has muffled. I am without soul, for it has drowned.   -- "I don't have to be what somebody else wants me to be, and I am not afraid to be what i want to be." ---- G.A.
