remember that what you now have was once among the things
you only hoped for.

The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, 

when you are between asleep and awake,
when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy,
when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul
that the dream is reality, and it really happened.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 

Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Be careful what you wear to bed at night, you never know
who you'll meet in your dreams.

Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.

Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake
and reach for hands that are not there.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams
that you dare to dream really do come true

Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 

Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I will not forget you.
Love me and I may be forced to love you.
William Arthur Ward

 

Staying up all night is a waste of sleeping, and a waste of sleeping is a
waste of dreaming, and dreaming is important because the more
dreams you have, the better chance you have of one coming true.
Tony Arata

 

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
T.E. Lawrence

 

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because
reality is finally better than your dreams.

When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum

Follow your dreams, for as you dream you shall become.
Mary Manin Morrissey

 

Life is never easy for those who dream.
Robert James Waller

 

To dream anything that you want to dream.
That's the beauty of the human mind.
To do anything that you want to do.
That is the strength of the human will.
To trust yourself to test your limits.
That is the courage to succeed.
Bernard Edmonds

The Painting - An Interesting Story

There was a king who was a great admirer of art. He encouraged artists from all over his country and gave them valuable gifts.


One day an artist came and said to the king, "Oh King! Give me a blank wall in your palace and let me paint a picture on it. It will be more beautiful than anything you have ever seen before. I promise you shall not be disappointed." Now, the king happened to be constructing a big hall at the rear end of the palace. So he said, "All right you may work on one of the walls in the new hall."


So the artist was given the job and he was very pleased indeed. Just then, another young man said, "Oh King! Please allow me to work on the opposite wall. I too am an artist."


The king said, "What would you like to make?"


The man said, "My Lord, I shall make exactly what that man will make on the opposite wall. Moreover, I shall do so, without looking at his work. I would even request you to have a thick curtain put up between the two walls so that either of us cannot see the other." Now, that was a tall statement. Everyone in the king's court, including the king and the first artist were intrigued. But the king loved surprises and he decided to give the young fellow a chance.The following day a thick curtain was put into place and both the artists got to work. The first artist brought in a regular supply of paint, oil, water etc. The second one would come with a cloth and a bucket of water every day.


After a month the first artist told the king that his work was complete and he would like to show it to the king.The king sent for the second artist and asked him, "Young man, when would your work be ready? I am coming to see the first wall this evening."


The man said, "My Lord, my wall is ready too!"


The king went to see the first artist's wall. He was very, very impressed with the painting and gave a hefty sum as a reward to the artist. He then asked for the curtain to be opened up


Lo and behold! The same painting was to be seen on the opposite wall too!


Amazing! But true! Each line, each minor detail was exactly as it was on the first wall. But this man had not been seeing what was going on, on the other side of the curtain.So how had he done it? The king wanted to know the secret.


He gave a double reward to the fellow. Then he said, "Young man, I am indeed very happy with your work. But you must tell me; how did you do it?"


The lad said simply, "It's very easy! I just polished the wall every day!"


It was a wall made of white marble! The fellow polished it till it shone like a mirror. The reflection of the painting across the room, showed up in it!


That is what it means to polish yourself. For when we polish our hearts and souls, we see God's reflection within.


It is said that the world is a reflection of you. Whatever you are, the world will seem to be that too. If you are sad, jealous, dejected, angry, restless ... that is what the world will seem to be!


If you are happy, the world will seem to be paradise.


You decide how you want your world to look...

Your Weakness : Or Your Greatest Strength

This is a story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he
couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the
Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the Sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy
appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the Sensei intervened. “No,” the Sensei insisted, “Let him continue.”

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. 

He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and Sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the Sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”


The boy's greatest weakness had become his greatest strength.

♡♥♡♥♡ Story of a loving couple ♡♥♡♥♡

Once there was loving couple travelling in a bus in a mountainous area.They decided to get down at some place. After the couple gotdown at some place the bus moved on,As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs.Everybody on board was killed.The couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus"

Why do u think they said that??

If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down,the resulting time delay could have been avoided and the rock would have fallen after the bus had passed ..!!!

Think positive in life always and look for opportunities when you can help Others...

"Many times in life, the opposite of Success is not Failure, its Quitting"

"Winners never quit, quitters never Win"
