Thoughts

                             Here are some food for thoughts for the nourishment of
                       our body and soul. I lifted them out from my collection
                       and I would like to share it with the people in the World
                      Wide Web. Hope you'll get something out of these.

NATURALNESS Naturalness is the basis of effectiveness. If

                     one poses to be something else, one loses the                       charm of naturalness. The result is that one
                     accumulates stress. We do not think of life --
                     we live it. We do not think of ourselves too much.
                     We just behave in a natural way. Don't make
                     moods -- wonder what anyone thinks of us. We
                     do not live life on the remarks of others. It is
                     enough that we are naturally helpful to others.
                     What others think of us is not our concern -- it
                     is theirs. If we are weak, we will always put
                     ourselves at the whim of others. We do not base
                     our lives on the opinion of others. But if we are
                     not clear in our conscience then we will always
                     be wealk and will always mind the looks and
                     remarks of others. It is the weakness of indi-
                     viduality if it always look to others. It is impor-
                     tant only that we radiate life. Every individual
                     must be a joy to himself, to his family and to his
                     society.

                                    DARE to BE HAPPY
            Dare to be happy -- don't shy away.
                    Reach out and capture the koy of Today!

Life is for living! Give it a try.
Open your heart to that sun in the sky.

Dare to be loving, and trusting, and true;
Treasure the hours with those dear to you.

Dare to be kind -- it's more fun than you know;
Give joy to others, and watch your own grows.

Dare to admit all your blessings, and then
Everyday count them all over again.

Dare to be happy, don't be afraid --
This is the day which the Lord hath made!

                           with the satisfaction of achievement.

                      As years go by, the heart grows rich

                           witht he fulfillment of love.

                     As years go by, the soul grows rich

                             A LITTLE STORY
              This is a story about four people named
              Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There
              was an important job to be done and Everybody was
              sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have
              done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about
              it because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought
              Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Every-
              body wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody
              blames Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody
              could have done.

Rememeber those ten two letter words:
If it is to be, it is up to me.
