Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you greater than any obstacle.

 April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.

 

And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting...'

 

Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day.....like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

 

Maya Angelou said this:

 

'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

 

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

 

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

 

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a life.'

 

'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

 

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'

 

'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'

 

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'

 

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back...'

 

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn..'

 

'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

“If death is the door to eternity, angels are doormen.”

Let my eyes be a mirror for others, reflecting only the best and finest qualities.

  FABULOUS THOUGHTS.  From Neeraja

Life is similar to Boxing game..

Defeat is NOT declared when you fall down;

It is declared when you refuse to ‘Get Up’!

 

Everything is valuable only at 2 times:

1.    Before getting it; and

2.    After losing it !!

 

Two things bring happiness & success in life:

1.    The way you MANAGE when you have nothing, and

2.    The way you BEHAVE when you have everything !

 

Two places are MOST VALUABLE in the world:

1.    The NICEST place is to be in someone’s Thoughts, and

2.    The SAFEST place is to be in someone’s Prayers.

 

One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.

 

Faith is taking the 1st step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

 

Keep your face to the Sun,

And you will not see the shadow!

 

A Deaf child says: “For all of you, I am deaf;

But for me, all of you are dumb…”

Moral: Life differs in each perspective. Live the way you want to.

 

It is always good to check once in a while,

And make sure that

You haven’t lost the things that money cannot buy..!!

 

Attitude at its best:

My BACK is not a VOICE MAIL..

Kindly say on my FACE.

 

Ego is the only requirement to destroy any relationship.

Be a bigger person; skip the “E”, and let it “go”..!!

 

One good thing about Egoists:

They don’t talk about other people!

 

 

 

Do you know why God didn’t give us the gift to read others’ minds?

So that,

We could have the chance to “TRUST”,

And privilege to be “TRUSTED”!

 

As long as we don’t forgive people who have hurt us,

They occupy a RENT-FREE SPACE IN OUR MIND!

 

Always keep hoping for good.

Keep a green tree in your heart.

The singing birds will automatically come..!

 

God always likes to know again and again what you want…

It is not that He forgets your Dreams & Prayers;

But He loves to check your passion towards your desire..!

 

 

I asked God: “If everything is already written in Destiny, then WHY should I pray?”

God smiled and said: “I have also written- CONDITIONS APPLY…”!!!

 

Empty pockets teach millions of things in life…

But full pockets spoil us in million ways !!!

 

No one in the world is afraid to speak the truth.

Everybody is afraid to face the consequences after the truth is told!

 

Getting angry is punishing yourself for the mistakes of others!

 

Trust is like a STICKER.

Once it is removed, it may stick again,

But NOT as strong as it holds when you first applied it..!

Always take care of relations.

 

Everything about the future is uncertain,

But one thing is sure:

God has already arranged all our tomorrows…

We just have to TRUST HIM TODAY !!

 

NEVER win people with Arguments, rather defeat with your Smile!

Because people who always wish to Argue with you, cannot bear your Silence !!!

 

The search for happiness is one of the main source of unhappiness.

 

Diplomacy is an art of telling people to go to h.... in such a way that

they tend to ask you for directions..!!

 

If a drop of water falls on a Lake, its identity is lost;

If it falls on Lotus leaf, it shines like a Pearl.

Drop is the same; but the company matters.

 

Our HOPES should be like Hair & Nails.

No matter how many times they get cut,

But they never stop growing.

 

“F-E-A-R” has two meanings

1. Forget Everything And Run…

2. Face Everything And Rejoice..!

Choice is ours..!!

 

If you walk the way guided by humans, you will find hopeless end

& if you walk the way guided by God, you will find endless hope.

 

Memories are always special…

Sometimes we laugh by remembering the days we cried

And we cry by remembering the days we laughed…!!!

That’s Life!

 

Sea is common for all…

Some take pearls

Some take fishes

Some come out just with just wet legs!

World is common to all; what we get, is what we try for!

 

To smile without condition

To walk without intention

To give without reason &

To care without expectation

Are the beauties of any Relation!

 

Life is very complicated…

When you have standards, people call it ATTITUDE;

When you are simple, people try to CHEAT you; &

When you cheat others, people call you SMART!

 

All communication problems are because

We don’t listen to understand;

We listen to reply…!!!

 

 

The most ineffective response to criticism is to become angry, insulted and defensive. When you do that, you actually give a lot more power and credibility to that criticism. Try to, focus on what you can do to change for the better, not on what others say about you.
