Two friends
A story tells that two friendswere walkingthrough the desertDuring some point of theJourney they had anArgument, and one friendSlapped the other oneIn the face.The one who got slappedwas hurt, but withoutsaying anything,wrote in the sand:TODAY MY BEST FRIENDSLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.They kept on walkinguntil they found an oasis,where they decidedto take a bath.The one who had beenslapped got stuck in themire and started drowning,but the friend saved him.After he recovered fromthe near drowning,he wrote on a stone:TODAY MY BEST FRIENDSAVED MY LIFE.The friend who had slappedand saved his best friendasked him, 'After I hurt you,you wrote in the sand and now,you write on a stone, why?'The other friend replied'When someone hurts uswe should write it downin sand where winds offorgiveness can erase it away.But, when someone doessomething good for us,we must engrave it in stonewhere no windcan ever erase it.'LEARN TO WRITEYOUR HURTS INTHE SAND AND TOCARVE YOURBENEFITS IN STONE!!!They say it takes aminute to find a specialperson, an hour toappreciate them, a dayto love them, but thenan entire lifeto forget them.Send this phrase tothe people you'll neverforget. If you don'tsend it to anyone,it means you're in ahurry and that you'veforgotten your friends.Take the time to live!Do not value the THINGSyou have in your life. But valueWHO you have in your life!Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while ,you might miss it.Have a Nice Day ...

The coffee story
THE COFFEE STORY - DON'T MOST OF US DO THE SAME THING?
Something true which we do not realise.
"The happiest people in the world are not those who have no
problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than
perfect."
* A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got
together to visit their old university professor.
* Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and
life.
* Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and
returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups
-porcelain,
plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some
exquisite- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
* When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: "If
you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the simple and cheap ones.
* While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves,
that is the source of your problems and stress.
* Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.
* In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even
hides what we drink.
* What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you
consciously went for the best cups... Then you began eyeing each
other's cups.
* Now consider this:
- Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society
are the cups.
- They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of
cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.
- Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the
coffee God has provided us. Enjoy your coffee!."
* The happiest people don't have the best of everything.
* They just make the best of everything."
1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
5. Leave the rest to God.
You are the miracle, my friend;
Your life either shines a light OR casts a shadow!
Shine a light & Enjoy the Coffee !!!
