A story:
A giant ship engine failed.

The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young.

He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work.

He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do.

After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer.

He gently tapped something.

Instantly, the engine lurched into life.

He carefully put his hammer away.

The engine was fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for Rs.100,000.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer.. . Rs. 2/-

Knowing where to tap... Rs 99,998/-

Moral of the story:

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life, makes all the difference.

"Life doesn't change in ONE MINUTE, but taking a decision after thinking for ONE MINUTE can change life."

MANHOOD - Extracts from Rudyard Kipling; IF : A FATHER'S ADVICE TO HIS SON : ....

" IF you can KEEP YOUR HEAD when all about you
Are Losing theirs and blaming it on you,
IF YOU CAN TRUST YOURSELF when All men Doubt you,
BUT MAKE ALLOWANCE for their Doubting too;

IF YOU CAN WAIT and Not Be Tired by Waiting,
Or Being LIED ABOUT, DON'T Deal in lies,
Or Being Hated, DON'T GIVE WAY TO HATING,
And Yet Don't look Too Good, Nor Talk Too Wise

IF YOU CAN DREAM and Not Make Dreams Your Master;
IF YOU CAN THINK, and Not Make Thoughts Your Aim;
IF YOU CAN MEET with Triumph and Disaster
And Treat THOSE IMPOSTORS Just The Same;

IF YOU CAN TALK with Crowds and KEEP YOUR VIRTUE,
OR WALK WITH KINGS, NOR LOSE THE COMMON TOUCH,
IF NEITHER FOES Nor Loving Friends can hurt you,
IF All Men Count With You, BUT None Too Much

IF YOU CAN FILL, The Unforgiving Minute
WITH SIXTY SECONDS Worth of Distance Run,
YOURS IS THE EARTH, and Everything THAT'S IN IT,
And - Which Is More - YOU'LL BE A MAN, MY SON "

And That - is what being a MAN is all about.............. WHAT SAY ???

1. " Whenever you FEEL a negative Emotion BE ALONE in a Room and Just SIT DOWN with it and FEEL. Don't Judge it, Criticize it, Intellectualize it, Explain It Away. ALLOW yourself to FEEL the pain. It's OKAY. Accompany it - BREATHE INTO IT - and after a while, You'll feel the anger or fear or sadness LOSE IT'S URGENCY and power. ALLOW God to Tenderly EMBRACE you in your pain. And then, at the Right Time, you can LET GO........."

2. " Hug and kiss whoever Helped Get you - Financially, Mentally, Morally, Emotionally - TO THIS DAY. Parents, Mentors, Friends, Teachers. If you're too uptight to do that, at least do the old handshake thing, but I RECOMMEND a Hug and a kiss. Don't let the Sun go down without saying THANK YOU to Someone, and without admitting to yourself that Absolutely NO ONE Gets This Far ALONE.........."

3. " BEFORE you can Inspire with Emotion, you Must Be SWAMPED WITH IT YOURSELF. Before you can Move Their Tears, YOUR OWN MUST FLOW. To Convince Them, YOU MUST YOURSELF BELIEVE..........."

4. " The Emotion That Beaks your Heart, is Sometimes, The Very One THAT HEALS IT........."

5. " I am NOT a Believer in Love At First Sight. For LOVE, In Its TRUEST FORM, IS NOT the thing of starry-eyed or star-crossed lovers, I Is FAR MORE ORGANIC, Requiring NURTURING AND TIME TO FULLY BLOOM, and, As Such, Seen Best NOT in its callow youth BUT IN ITS WRINKLED MATURITY......." - By Richard Paul Evans
.
AND REMEMBER.....

6. " People Will FORGET what you SAID, People Will FORGET what you DO, but People Will NEVER FORGET How You MADE THEM FEEL........".

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT.......

1. " We are afraid of Ourselves, of Our Own REALITY; OUR Feelings Most of all. People talk about how great love is, but it has its own SCARS too. Love HURTS. Feelings are Disturbing. People are taught that Pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with Love if theyโ€™re Afraid to Feel? Pain is meant to WAKE US UP. People try to Hide their pain. But theyโ€™re WRONG. Pain WE MUST CARRY. You feel Your STRENGTH in the Experience of pain - It is all in how YOU carry it. That Is What Matters. Pain is a FEELING. Your Feelings are a part of you. YOUR OWN REALITY. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, youโ€™re letting Your Own Reality being DESTROYED. STAND UP for your Right to FEEL YOUR PAIN......" โ€“ Marienne Williamson

2. " You think your Pain and your Heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then - YOU READ. It is Books that have TAUGHT me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that CONNECTED ME with all the people who are ALIVE, or who had ever been Alive - WE ALL SHARE, All of US carry Our Own Cross.... - Only and only We - Can Distribute the load amongst ourselves." โ€“ James Baldwin

3. " Pain is a PESKY part of being human. I have learned it feels like a Stab Wound to the Heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then, I have ALSO LEARNED that because of pain, I can feel the BEAUTY,TENDERNESS ,and FREEDOM of Healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then HEALING feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but HEALING is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our FACES........" โ€“ C.Joy Bell C

4. " Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages US, EVERY ONE. We canโ€™t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We CAN BE MENDED. WE MEND EACH OTHER....." โ€“ Veronica Roth

BUT - TO HANDLE, NAY OVERCOME " PAIN ".....From the ONE WHO KNOWS........

" Let me NOT pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but TO BE Fearless in facing them.
Let me NOT BEG for the stilling of my Pain, but
FOR THE HEART to CONQUER IT......." - Rabindranath Tagore

I BOW TO THAT.....

Zohnerism - where true facts are misled towards false conclusions.

In 1997, 14 year old Nathan Zohner presented his science fair project to his classmates, seeking to ban a highly toxic chemical from itโ€™s everyday use.

The chemical in question? Dihydrogen monoxide.

Throughout his presentation, Zohner provided his audience scientifically correct evidence as to why this chemical should be banned.

He explained that dihydrogen monoxide:

Causes severe burns in while itโ€™s in gas form
Corrodes and rusts metal
Kills countless amounts of people annually
Is commonly found in tumors, acid rain etc.
Causes excessive urination and bloating if consumed
Zohner also noted that the chemical is able to kill you if you depend on it and then experience an extended withdrawal.

He then asked his classmates if they actually wanted to ban dihydrogen monoxide.

And so 43 out of the 50 children present voted to ban this clearly toxic chemical.

Howeverโ€ฆthis chemical isnโ€™t typically considered toxic at all.

In fact, dihydrogen monoxide is simply an unconventional name for water.

Nathan Zohnerโ€™s experiment wasnโ€™t a legitimate attempt to ban water, but instead an experiment to get a representation of how gullible people can really be.

Also, all of the points that Zohner used to convey his point were 100% factually correct; he just skewed all of the information in his favor by omitting certain facts.

And this occurs a lot more often than you think, especially when politicians, conspiracy theorists, etc., use proven facts to persuade people into believing false claims.

The fact that people can mislead, and be misled so easily, is highly unsettling.

My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick, until one day, suddenly, she changed.

The situation was the same, but she was different.

One day my dad said to her:

- I've been looking for a job for three months and I haven't found anything, I'm going to have a few beers with friends.

My mom replied:
- It's okay.

My brother said to her:
- Mom, I'm doing poorly in all subjects at the University ...

My mom replied:
- Okay, you will recover, and if you don't, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition.

My sister said to her:
- Mom, I hit the car.

My mom replied:
- Okay daughter, take it to the workshop, find how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway.

Her daughter-in-law said to her:
- Mother-in-law, I come to spend a few months with you.

My mom replied:
- Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet.

All of us at my mom's house gathered worried to see these reactions.

We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribe some pills of "I don't give a damn about 1000 mg."

She would probably also be ingesting an overdose.

We then proposed to do an "intervention" to my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had towards some anti-tantrum medication.

But what was not the surprise, when we all gathered around her and my mom explained:

"It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life, it took me years to discover that my anguish, my mortification, my depression, my courage, my insomnia and my stress, did not solve their problems but aggravated mine.

I am not responsible for the actions of others, but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that.

Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one solve what corresponds to them.

I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator: finally they all lead to the same point.

And, it is that I can only interfere with myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own lives.

I can only give you my advice if you ask me and it depends on you to follow it or not.

So, from now on, I cease to be: the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities.
From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults.

Everyone at my mom's house was speechless.

From that day on, the family began to function better, because everyone in the house knows exactly what it is that they need to do.

A HAPPY WOMAN!
