~!~ Learning From Mistakes...~!~

This is a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others ?

He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor a veritable sea of milk !

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said, Robert, I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up ? Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that ? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a mop. Which do you prefer ? He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it. The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

What a wonderful lesson ! This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.

Even if the experiment doesn’t work, we usually learn something valuable from it. Make mistakes, you learn from them . . . . but never repeat mistakes.

~!~ A Beautiful Letter From A Father ~!~

Following is a letter to his son from a renown Hong Kong TV broadcaster cum Child  Psychologist. The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or  parents.!

I am writing this to you because of 3  reasons

  1.    Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody  knows how long he lives. Some words are better said early.

  2.    I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will.

  3.   What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches.

  Remember the following as you go through life

1.   Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I. To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be  careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend.

2.  No one is  indispensable, nothing in the world that you must possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what/who you love most.

3.  Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.

4.  Love is but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one's mood. If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of  love.

5. A lot of successful  people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some  rags!

6. I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support you for whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor.

7.  You honour your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.

8.  I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but I never strike any prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to  work hard! There is no free lunch!

9.  No matter how much time I have with you, let's  treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next  life.

Your  Dad.

ये कविता आज के इस युग मैं हो रहे रंग एवं आर्थिक भेद के ऊपर हें |

ये कविता सन्देश देती हें की कोई गरीब, अमीर, गोरा एवं काला नहीं हें, बल्कि सब इंसान हें |

ज़िन्दगी के रंग देखो,

कहीं कोई हें गरीब,

तो  कहीं  कोई अमीर ,

बस इतना ही क्यूँ सोचो |

ज़िन्दगी के रंग हें अनेक,

उसमें से मैंने चुना एक,

इस रंग से दिखती सारी दुनिया एक,

न कोई  काला और न कोई सफ़ेद |

इस दुनिया से ये रंग हें,

इन रंगों से ये दुनिया नहीं,

इस दुनिया मैं हर कोई इंसान है

परन्तु कोई भी गरीब और अमीर नहीं |

ज़िन्दगी के सारे रंगों मैं,

सबसे प्यारा इंसानियत का रंग हें

ये रंग हर कोई पैदाइश के साथ लाता हें,

और मौत के साथ ले जाता हें |

आज की इस ज़िन्दगी मैं,

मानवता के रंगों से होली नहीं खेली जाती,

आज के इस युग मैं होली के नाम पर याद,

सिर्फ लाल रंग की ही आती |

आओ इस रंगों के भेद से,

ऊपर उठ कर बात करें,

हम साथ थे और साथ हें

यही बात कह कर इंसानियत के रंग

का प्रचार करें |

!! जय हिंद !!

~!~ दिन ~!~ A Poem

Disclaimer: Below thoughts are purely mine and have not been taken from a site or any other source.

आज फिर ये दिन ऐसा लगता हें,

की चुपके से कुछ कहता हें |

ये दिन चुपके से कहता हें,

मैं आया हूँ सालों बाद,

फिर कभी नहीं आऊंगा,

कभी तुम्हें मैं हसाऊंगा,

तो कभी मैं रुलाऊंगा |

जिसने मेरी बात न मानी,

वो खाली हाथ रह जायेगा,

मुट्ठी मैं वही सब कुछ पायेगा,

जो मुझे समझ पायेगा |

जिस तरह बूँद बूँद,

से सागर बनता हें,

उसी तरह एक एक दिन से

तुम्हारा जीवन बनता हें |

एक दिन मैं कुछ मिलता हें,

एक दिन मैं कुछ खोता हें,

ये दिन बहुत बड़ा हें यारों,

कभी कुछ लेता हें तो कभी कुछ देता हें |

आज फिर ये दिन ऐसा लगता हें,

की चुपके से कुछ कहता हें |

Brilliant EnGineer at his Best

Straight line

Leaving the end part to hang the house 

Measuring distances 

Folding the leaf -- real art

From beneath 

Holding two side together 

Using right side to hold and left side to fold..! 

Real engineering .. no kidding 

House is now hanging to keep enemies out 

installing the door

Checking the support and enforcing it with glue 

isnt it the best engineering???

THE STORY OF LIFE ....??

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, coworker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become.

Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

Make every day count! Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before,and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love,break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets

*MOST IMPORTANTLY!*

If you LOVE someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store!

Emotions Are A Part Of Life

Emotions Are A Part Of Life

Life is like an unsolved puzzle.

No one can define what life is because it is a very complex thing.

Life is something that makes you happy and proud at times and

makes you feel so low at times that you say to yourself,

"Why was I born?"

But whatever it is, it is real fun.

In Life, in every moment, something new happens; something that

you never expected, something that you were waiting from a long while

to happen and something you were expecting to happen.

It is a combination of happiness, sorrow, joy, love, anger, enjoyment,

loneliness, fear, excitement and many other emotions.

The definition of the word life can't be completed

without using the word emotions.

Some people work in emotions whereas others work with emotions.

So it's very important to understand how people are using their emotions.

If they are letting emotions get control over them,

then they'll be dragged by others and situations all the time.

But, if he is controlling his emotions in a proper way,

then no one will ever have control over him.

The way a person uses his emotions is what we call attitude.

Someone has correctly said, "Your attitude determines your altitude in life".

Attitude, as I already defined, is the way an individual uses

his emotions and directly related to the psyche of a person.

Some people use their emotions in a positive way

and some people do it in a negative sense.

When people use emotions in a positive way we call it positive attitude

and when they use it in a negative way we call it negative attitude.

It's up to an individual to decide how he uses his emotions.

Which way will you decide ?
