A personal favourite poem of mine by Ella Wheeler Wilcox titled

SOLITUDE

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
 
The intrinsic worth of anything is always there whether one recognizes it or not. A Diamond remains a diamond whether you accept or not. Similar is the case with Sanatana Dharma. - Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal.
 
Putting others' needs before your own is the shortest and
surest road to happiness.

Please put my needs before yours.
I need $1M, when you are in the mood. I just want you to be happer.
Please accept my apology in advance. Quotes are good, but should be tempered.

A very nice quote Shri KR SUBRAHMANYAM.


Give a preference and way to a needy when you can Instead considering for self always when you are not the real needy.


I have witnessed this in Chennai long ago. We have a corner junction point as an Auto stand from where around 6 Auto men as members, operate. One auto guy is a family man and he had some money to do shopping for himself and his family on the occasion of Diwali, where as the other auto guy who is a bachelor couldn't make money to pay off the college fees for his younger brother and was too nervous and unhappy. When the family man some how could come to know about this, he decided to reduce his Diwali budget by getting his family members what they want and for himself nothing really special, so that he can add that saved money with some more and give to this bachelor guy to serve the purpose. So that at least he can be happy during the festival if not can celebrate going for some new cloths. When his family members came to know, his wife and two children volunteered themselves without a single repentance and came forward with pleasure to reduce their budget. So that they can share the festivity equally with the bachelor guy who is highly committed and responsible to his family, other than helping him with money as well to enable him paying off his brother's college fee.

This incident was shared to me by the laundry guy with whom we deal with.


It is true as the popular saying goes - "We can see GOD in the smiles of the Poor"


Like wise there are many cases in our day to day life where we can keep our priorities on back burner and help some one whom we know are genuine, to assist them with what is imperative to them. This can be possible only if we could consider the needy as same as we our self and have a magnanimous heart. If such heart felt sacrifices at least happens for and between one's family members, that is better than not having any such ideas at all!!


 
Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures.

- H. Jackson Brown


YES!!!!


Maturity is not just talking Big. Maturity is when you can value and make true sense of small small things in life.

Maturity is not just when you understand only the brain. Maturity is when you can understand the heart as well.
 
You and only you are ultimately responsible for your level of success or failure
in your life. You can't grow beyond your thinking.
