The Sunflower

She is so happy under the morning sun

Petals so bright and joyful

Shining in the sunlight so beautiful

She dances in the wind ecstatic

Gets a shower in the drizzling rain

And they keep looking at each other…….

Time flew and it was soon dark

All alone, she is filled with sorrow

The water drops on her leaves like tears

Looks as if she will cry

For her love has gone away……..

Happy Friendship Day!

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have
chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent
with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can
tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
— Henri J.M. Nouwen (The Road to
Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey)

My New Year Resolution:)Wishing all my buddies Happy New Year!! #quote #MMXI # new year 2011

I love these lines by Christian .D. Larson. Would be an ideal new year resolution...Wishing all my buddies a happy, healthy and prosperous new year(MMXI)!!

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Words of Wisdom #quote

Quotes always amaze me. And inspiring quotes rejuvenate and keep me going. I want to share this particular quote which i first came across in the movie "The world's fastest Indian". The protagonist in the movie quotes these words of Theodre Roosevelt. Simply amazing lines filled with wisdom.

by docspike on Aviary

 

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."- Theodre Roosevelt

The Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

Randolph Frederick "Randy" Pausch   (October 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) was an American professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pausch learned that he had pancreatic cancer in September 2006, and in August 2007 he was given a terminal diagnosis: "3 to 6 months of good health left". He gave an upbeat lecture entitled "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" on September 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon, which became a popular YouTube video and led to other media appearances. He then co-authored a book called The Last Lecture on the same theme, which became a New York Times best-seller. Pausch died of complications from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008.(Source-Wikipedia)

In this moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talks about lessons he learned and gives advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.
