Puppies For Sale
A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard.
As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the Eyes of a little boy.
"Mister", he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
"Well", said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.

Isn’t It Strange
Isn’t It Strange
* Isn’t it strange how a $100 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to the temple, but such a small amount when you go shopping?
* Isn’t it strange how endless an hour seems when we are serving God, but how short it is when we watch a Football game or Cricket for 60 minutes?
* Isn’t it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you’re at the temple and how short they seem when you’re watching a good movie?
* Isn’t it strange that you can’t find things to say when you’re praying, but you have no trouble in thinking what to talk about with a friend?
* Isn’t it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of Bhagwad Gita, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?
* Isn’t it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit in the last row in the temple?
* Isn’t it strange how we need to know about an event for the temple 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events at the last minute?
* Isn’t it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?
* Isn’t it strange how we believe everything that Magazines and Newspapers say but we question the words in the holy books like Ramayan?
* Isn’t it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don’t want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
* Isn’t it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are Fowarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about twice before we share them with others?

How To Succeed At Work And In Career
1. Don’t talk negatively about people behind their backs. If you gossip, people won’t confide in you. Mind your own business.
2. Try to work for someone who’ll challenge your powers.You’ll learn more in a year than 4 years of college.
3. Successful bosses have good communication skills. They learn from people, including their employees.
4. Work in such a way that makes your boss look good. It’s not flattery.
5. On downsizing, the first to go are those with few friends. Bosses prefer competent people whom they respect.
6. Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. Let your dress reflect professionalism.
7. Workout to get in good physical shape. Unless exceptionally skilled, the unhealthy are at a comparative disadvantage.
8. Personal integrity is crucial. Tell nothing but the truth. Bosses can forgive mistakes but if you lie, you’re gone.
9. Be on time. Try to arrive few minutes early. It saves you from stress. You’ll be much relaxed & work better.
10. Strive your best to keep a deadline. If you cannot meet it, then apologize & ask for an extension
11. Don’t take things personally. If some people are unhappy with you, it’s their problem. But always strive to give your best.
12. If you must correct someone, don’t get personal about it. Do it never in front of others.
13. Spend some time alone everyday. What’s the mission of my life? What do I want to be? And how to go about it.
14. As you move along Plan A of your career, maintain a Plan B as well — an alternative course to rely
15. Always remember that the secret of success is passion. Always think big. Spread love & joy. You’ll have blissful years ahead.

Reading Yourself
Reading Yourself
If you ever feel like knowing, how the people around look on you?
See reflections on the faces of the people you meet; Read your images from their eyes.
All the faces in the world are mirrors.
You just have to learn how to read them.
Let Me Know Now
Let Me Know Now
If you are ever going to love me; love me now.
While I can know the sweet and tender feelings from which true affections flows.
Love me now while I am living. Do not wait until I am gone.
To have those sweet words chiseled in marble on ice-cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts of me, please let me know now.
Not when I am not there.
Happiness Will Find You
Happiness Will Find You
Happiness lives for those who cry, those who are hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried. For only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
If you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if your focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
