Platter of Half Baked Ideas

If you start judging people, you have little time to love them. Language is only a medium of expression. A karmayogi is one who derives satisfaction from his work and enjoys the same. Ambition without proper planning and structure is day dreaming.

You have to be very serious to make others laugh. Derek O’ Brian

A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing. What joy then does that man have in his life without any love?

The ideal you should work towards accepting of what you have and who you are, to enjoy life whenever possible and to feel happy most of the time.

PEARLS COLLECTED FROM ALL OVER MY PRAYER HAS BEEN ANSWERED I asked for strength, I got difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, I got problems to solve. I asked for prosperity, I got brawn and brain to work. I asked for courage, I got dangers to overcome. I asked for love, I got troubled people to help. I asked for favours, I got opportunities.
