The Real Meaning of Peace

There once lived a king who announced to prize the artist who would paint the best painting  depicting peace. Many great painters sent the king several of their best art pieces. One of the pictures among the various master pieces was of a calm lake perfectly mirroring peacefully towering snow-capped mountains. Overheard was a blue clear sky with fluffy clouds. The picture was perfect. Most of the people who viewed the pictures of peace from various artist thought that it was the best among all. But when the king announced the winner,  everyone was shocked. The picture which won the prize had a mountains too but it was rugged and bare. The sky looked very angry, there were lightning.  This did not look peaceful at all.

International Woman's Day

Fantastic lines by Mother Teresa: " If your eyes are positive, you will love the world. But if your tongue is positive, the world will love you." A woman's love is in action.

A woman is the cement that keeps her family together and her love lasts a lifetime.

Ignore the Haters

“A group of frogs were traveling through the forest when two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them. However, the two frogs ignored their comrades and proceeded to try to jump out of the pit. However, despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up as they’d never make it out. Eventually, one of the frogs took heed of what the others were saying and he gave up, jumping even deeper to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the group of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and to just die. He ignored them, and jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, ‘Did you not hear us?’ The frog explained to them that he was deaf, and that he thought they were encouraging him the entire time.”

There is always the other side to whatever you experience

A father was engrossed in his work while his little daughter constantly distracted him in an attempt from him to make him play with her. To keep her busy, the man tore a page of printed map of the world from a magazine into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again. The daughter was very young and he was pretty sure that she would take hours to get it done. The father was surprised when he saw his little one coming out of the room with a smile and the perfect map within a few minutes. The stunned man asked his daughter how she could solve the puzzle so quickly.   "Daddy, there is a women's face on the other side of the paper, when I made the face perfect, I got the map right." replied the young girl. "We cannot solve the problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
