What money can buy???

A bed but not sleep,
Books but not knowledge,
Food but not appetite,
Finery but not internal beauty,
A house but not a home,
Medicine but not health,
Luxuries but not comfort,
Pleasures but not happiness,
Love but not true love.

Unpredictable heart...

Girl heart is unpredictable,
It's like in the ocean searching for a needle

She is so near and yet so far,
It's tougher than getting the star

Sometimes happy sometimes sad,
Sometimes she look as if she is glad

I lost my sense of direction
In searching for the needle in the Pacific Ocean
Please give me some indication....

Skill in dealing with people without offending them...

You cannot hope to achieve peace by correcting each and every person in this world. In the same time, you cannot remove the world of stones and thorns so that the pathway maybe smooth. To feel comfortable walking on uneven ground, we should try wearing a pairs of shoes instead. Likewise, we should learn to guard our senses to have peace of mind since we cannot succeed in removing disturbing object from the world.

There are many ways to correct a person if he/she is wrong. By criticising, blaming, and shouting at him/her publicly, you will not be able to correct him/her but you only make him/her more adamant in his/her views.

Speak to him/her kindly in pointing his/her mistakes, he/she is more likely is listen to you, and some day he/she will thank you for your guidance or kindness.

Whenever you express your views regarding certain matters, avoid harsh words spoken with anger so as not to hurt the feeling of others. Always express your views gently or politely. On the other hand, you should not lose your temper or show your sulky face when your faults are pointed out. You may think that by losing your temper, showing an ugly face, an shouting at others, you can intimidate others in order that they may overlook your shortcomings. This is the wrong attitude to adopt.Rudeness, yelling, anger and swearing are a weak man's imitation of strength.

Gaining control over moods...

Everyone is influenced by moods to some extent. We should try to understand our moods better so as to gain control over them and to avoid doing things we might regret later. When under emotional stress, we should defer making important decisions. When we are angry or in a bad mood, we cannot see or think clearly to come to good, well-considered decisions. At the other extreme, when we are elated and flushed with happiness, we tend to be more accommodating and less objective in our thinking. Any decisions reached during such periods are likely to be biased. Take some moments to allow the mind to calm down. Analyse the problems. Think them over. Decisions or judgements made with a calm mind uninfluenced by moods will be less biased and better.

Is life full of worry?

Life is full of fear and worry,
It does not exist for you and me originally,
All these are our own doing actually.

As a matter of fact,
It is the word "self" to be exact,
That really make us sad,
Because we always feel that we are not perfect.

Because of that we always think of this and that such as,
I am not as beautiful as you are,
I am not as clever as you are,
I am not as lucky as you are,
I am not as rich as you are.

Because of that We feel that,
"People look down on me",
"People don't want to help me",
"People don't like me".

The list goes on endlessly,
All these make us worry,
Which are imaginary,
Please wake up and face the reality,
And get rid of all these worries,
Otherwise I feel sorry!!!

Nothing cannot be solved...

"A difficult situation can be handled in two ways. We can either do something to change it or to face it. If we can do something, then why worry and get upset over it- just change it. If there is nothing we can do then why worry and get upset over it? Things will not get any better with anger and worry."

Sense Of Belonging....

I saw the bee was flying,
It left the flower without telling,
The reasons for leaving,
And made the flower crying.

It seemed that in the beginning,
The bee was enjoying,
When the flower was blooming.

As the sun keep on rising,
There were many bees coming,
They were sucking and competing,
To have the best feeling.

When the evening was approaching,
One by one started leaving,
Because there was no Sense Of Belonging,
That is why they are not staying,
Leaving the flower wondering,
Why the bees are leaving?

Could it be that it is its instinct,
Just like we human being,
Don't like to share his or her darling,
With other human being.
