Be Happy

If you are not happy, what's the use of having all the money in the world?
Be contented with what you have and who you are.

When you age, you realize that a lot of things that you are upset about when you are young are actually quite trivial. When you let all that go, you will be happier.

Life's Lesson 2

Every once in a while, life hands you a moment so precious, so overwhelming, that you almost glow. When you experienced one of those moments, write it down and present it to another person, so that it might provide him/her a road map in his/hers journey in life...

Here are some of the lessons learnt from life :

* Pray not for things... but for wisdom and courage

* Never take action when you are angry

* Always enter a room with purpose and confidence.

* Do Not discuss business in elevators, you never know who may overhear you.

* Never pay for work before it's completed.

* Be willing to lose a battle in order to win the war

* Do Not Gossip

* Beware of the person who has nothing to lose

* When facing a difficult task, act as though it is impossible to fail.

* Do Not spread yourself too thin. Learn to say 'No' politely and quickly

* Do Not expect life to be fair

* Never underestimate the power of forgiveness

* Instead of using the word 'Problem', try substituting it with the word 'Opportunity'

Listening

When someone talks, listen and hear them out.
Put yourself in his/her's shoes.
Remember that there are always differences in backgrounds among us. even between members of the same family. Each person sees things from his or hers perspectives.

A first born child and one who has been an only child for a long time (and has been the center of attraction all the while) will worry at the thoughts of having a new additional member in the family. Child number two who has entered into a ready made family of three- with a sibling in the middle of it will view and expect things differently. Always try to reserve judgment until all facts are in.

Do not assume anything. What is being said might not seem important to you, but it is important to the speaker, or he would not have taken the time to say it. A good way to hurt someone's feeling is to ignore, even unintentionally, what he or she has to say. Take the time to listen, there's no such word as 'too busy' especially when it comes to those who are very close to you. There might not be a 'next time'..
