Poem That Inspires You....

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 too wise;

If you can dream- and not make dreams your master;

If you can think- and not make thoughts your aims;

If you can meet with Triump and Disaster

And treat these two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to then: “Hold on!”

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!

---Rudyard Kipling

We get back in life what we give to others! (Moral Story)

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weight the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The Judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, “ Your honor, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale.” The judge asked, “ Then how do you weight the butter?” The farmer replied, “ Your homour, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.” What is the moral of the story? We get back in life what we give to others. Whenever you take an action, ask yourself this question: Am I giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to make? Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some peopl...

Trust Almighty God!

A businessman was returning home on horseback from the annual fair in a nearby city. He had quite a big sum of money with him. It was raining heavily and the poor man was wet to the skin. He was in a bad mood and grumbled that God had given him such terrible weather for his journey. He entered a thick forest. All of a sudden, to his horror, he found himself face to face with a bandit whose finger was already on the trigger of his gun. He would not have been saved from death, except for the fact that the rain had caused the powder to dampen and the gun was useless. The businessman spurred his horse and happily escaped the danger. When he was out of danger he said to himself: “How stupid I was to moan about the bad weather, instead of accepting it patiently as a gift of God. If there had been a clear sky and the air dry and limpid, I would now be lying in a ditch covered in blood and in vain would my children wait my arrival. The rain which I was ready ...

Always good to yourself and good to all

As saying goes, you’re your own friend; you’re your own foe. Everybody is your friend. Nobody is your foe. If you treat them well, they’ll also treat you well. If you’ll do good deeds today, tomorrow you’ll get its good result. Because good things always guide you like a friend; and bad things always misguide you like a foe. If you ever grow thorny bushes on your land, then what you’ll get, you’ll always get thorny bushes. However, if you grow flowering plant or fruit, you’ll always get blooming flowers or laden fruits. Good people never get trap in any big trouble, even God helps them. No doubt, sometimes, they are tested by the bitter situations in their lives. But they always smile happily at the end. If you’re good to yourself and good to all, you’ll never fall in any trouble in your life, because the whole world will come to you in your rescue before anything happens. Everything counts in your life- both good and bad. These are the two sides of a same coin. Good ...
