A GOOD THOUGHT


 


Charles Schultz Philosophy



The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.


1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.




How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headlinersof yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in theirfields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners .




Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with .



Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care .


'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia' (Charles Schultz)

Gone are the days

When
The school reopened in July,
And we settled in our new desks and

benches!


Whenwe queued up in book depot,
And got our new books
and notes!


Whenwe wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.

We learnt writing with
slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!


Whenwe began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Color pencils and finally sketch pens!


Whenwe started calculating
first with tables and then with
Clarke's tables and advanced to
Calculators and computers!


Whenwe chased one another in the
corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms
Drenched in sweat!


Whenwe had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds,
under the trees and even in cycle sheds!


When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!


When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!


When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls!


Whenfew played
"kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played
"book cricket" in the
Confines of classroom!
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!


Whenwe used to
watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!


Whenfew rushed at 3:45 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus!

While
few others had "Big Fun", "peppermint",
"kulfi", " milk ice !" and "sharbat !" at 4o Clock!


Gone are the days
Of Sports Day,
and the annual School Day ,
And the one-month long

preparations for them.


Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly,
Half Yearly and Annual Exams, And the most
enjoyed holidays after them!


Gone are the days
Of tenth and twelfth standards, when

We Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!
We learnt,

We enjoyed,

We played,
We won,

We lost,

We laughed,
We cried,
We fought,
We thought.
With so much fun in them, so many friends,

So much experience, all this and more!


Gone are the days
When we used
to talk for hours with our friends!
Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'!
Gone are the days

When we played games on the road!
Now we
Code on the road with laptop!


Gone are the days
When we saw stars
Shining at Night!
Now we see stars when our code doesn't
Work!


Gone are the days
When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms.....!


Gone are the days
Where we
studied just to pass!
Now we study to save our job!


Gone are the days
Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!


Gone are the days
Where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home


Gone are the days
Where we got lectures from all!
Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....!!


Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be

Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and ever .....


Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!



NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE,

DONT FORGET TO

LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL

EXISTS.........

GIRL CHILD

A girl’s parents play a big role in the establishment of her mental attitude towards boys being the superior sex. It is time they instil in her veins her real potential and supremacy over boys. After all, parents are her very first teachers.



 



It is, I repeat, it is the ‘weaker sex’ attitude our Indian parents keep towards their female children that makes our females weak throughout their life and when they need to be strong and defending, they simply fail and get carried away by the spoon-fed attitude in them that they are weak. It is idiotic to say that as per our culture, women are supposed to be this and that, and men are supposed to be enjoying certain privileges, and they can go to any lengths to get their things done. It is good if things are taking shape according to the need to the times.



 



See how a female child grows up in an Indian family. From the very day of the birth itself, the female child is looked down upon. Though not evidently, there is a feeling in all parents that the newborn is going to be a liability. Imagine that a baby boy follows after a couple of years. The shift of attitude the parents themselves towards their female child is enough to leave that child vulnerable to aggression, exploitation and deprivation. And the boy, who grows up with extra privileges, happens to develop asocial tendencies that make him feel that it is all right to keep girls and their modesty undermined.



 



However, the girls grow up with the constant feeding from their parents that girls are to be confined to certain limits and they have to be very careful when they are out, and they are so easily cheated and exploited, so it is better for them to be subservient as to be protected by their male counterparts. This psychological warfare is constantly carried out by their own parents, makes the female kids scared and subservient, and turns them into easy prey. And when a society gets filled with such boys and girls of two different makes and their parents, what we can expect is nothing less than what we get through our media on a daily basis: molestation, rape, eve teasing and otherwise undermining of the modesty of girls and even school kids as young as five year-old. This is deterioration and total collapse of conscience.



 



Where is the way out? It is in our homes. Today’s nuclear parents must take a different look at their female kids. They have to understand that it is their attitude towards their female kids that is going to make some changes in their lives. It is the parents’ vision, attitude and sensitivity towards their kids’ that determines whether their female kids are going to be accepted or aggressed. If parents could inculcate in their kids a kind of gender parity from the very day of birth itself, there will be changes in the long run.



 



Naturally, the kids come to hold a confidence that they are what they are and their position and value in the society are going to be determined by their own conscience. The very same conscience will be powerful to keep them in good stead. In such a scenario, we can expect our upcoming society to be a level-playing platform, shared for the mutual and harmonious coexistence of both the sexes, where there won’t be any rapes and molestations, aggressions and exploitations.



 



Is it too much to ask of our parents to be true to and respect each other and inculcate the respect in their kids too? Is it not the best of all those attributes that we normally associate with all parents? Unfortunately, our domestic ambience itself is a microcosm of a hostile society, where females get sidelined and discriminated against. Therefore, first let us do whatever we can to keep our homes female-friendly. Such families alone can expect a society to be so. Every society gets what it deserves. The same way, every female member of the family gets what the family thinks she should deserve.



 



It is all easier said than done. In order to facilitate this domestic overhaul, we need to do a few more things.



 



Firstly, we all should learn to live without cable TV. These channels are the worst media that educate, inform and entertain our kids in the most threatening ways. This ‘mediacation’ is constant and cancerous. Kids soak in whatever they watch on these channels and it becomes a part of their eventual mental disposition.



 



Secondly, it’s about sex - our villain. It is not a taboo. If parents do not know how to educate their kids about it and who in the world would do it for them? The father should educate his son/s and mother should take care of her daughter/s. Sex is a private affair. But sex education need not be so. It should not be something confidential.



 



Thirdly, dress code and physical appearance are to be considered. These should respect and compliment each other. Fashion is fine, but it is not to fuse the safer distance that exists between boys and girls. Delight comes from a distance. If the mother expects the world to ask her, “Which college are you studying in,” we cannot expect her daughter to be philosophical with her appearance.



 



Do we need to let our kids watch the vulgarities and disgusting perversions choreographed by our so-called chocolate heroes and bikini heroines in our commercial films? There are other films worth taking our children to. It will work wonders in the female-male relations if they watch such beautiful films.



 



Make your family meet, mingle, share and understand on a daily basis. Let there be a feeling that family is a friendly place, where alone better human relations flourish. So, there is urgent need for female-friendly families.

Chat with GOD

chat with GOD


Hi Friends,


I have read this somewhere else and find it very valuable so I would like to share it with you.Hope you like it.

God Pinged Me ……..

God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. Who is this?

God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God: Pain is inevitable able, but suffering is optional.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you road ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not merely a process of discovery but a process of co-creation. You are my co-creator.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!

IF U HAVE GUTS READ THIS!!!!!

THIS MESSAGE ORIGINALLY SENT BY ONE OF MY FRIEND. I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.BUT BE CAREFUL THOSE WHO HAVE WEEK HEARTS.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!
Read this true Incident... and let everybody you know in and around
Delhi, especially Gurgaon know this.......
My friend lives in Delhi... One day he went to Gurgaon to visit his
uncle for some days. One evening he and some other of my college
friends
went to Priya's for a movie. He had so much fun that he forgot that it
was
very late. He reached Gurgaon around midnight......
He had to walk about a mile from where his friend dropped him.... As he
was
walking alone, he could sense that the night felt very creepy as it was
so
dark. While walking, he was astonished to see an old creepy looking guy
selling some books. It was a very unusual thing to see a thing like
that..... It got the shivers on him when he noticed that his old guy is
unusually pale and staring at him...
The old guy said "Son why don't you get a book...it would
keep you
company". Then he did something which he would regret for the rest of
his
life .........
My friend started to act brave & thought why not & had a look at his
collection.. he noticed that all the books were related to supernatural
activities...but he found one that was very interesting. So he asked
the
old man "how much is it?"....
The old guy replied, "Well son...this is an interesting book...it's
only
for Rs 250. "
My friend was shocked and said "but...but...it's expensive"
This time the old man stared which freaked my friend. My friend quickly
checked all his pockets & found Rs.200 & said "This is all
I hav e." The old guy replied "It's OK son ...you can have the book
for that price"
As ! my friend was just about to run for
home...the old man called
back & said "Son ... whatever happen, you don't ever flip the book
to it's last page... remember these words or you would regret
it...!!!!!"
My friend nodded and never looked back ... Reaching home...he
quickly asked his Uncle whether there was any new old book seller
nearby? The Uncle replied "not that I know of but ...we've heard that
there's 1 old man comes once in a while during full moon nights but
heard
that there is something creepy about it...why son?"
My friend freaked out... he told his uncle "nothing uncle...just
asking". He started reading the book with the old man's words on
his mind. At night, 2 o'clock, as he went to bed, a gush of wind blew
which
chilled him up to his bones. At that glimpse, he noticed the wind had
blown
the pages to its last page. He
remembered what the old man has said!
But we
humans tend to have the tendency to know. Out of curiosity, he flipped
to
the last page & fainted...
What he saw at the last page is stated below:
Don't look further down if you have a weak heart I warn you


















































































































































































............
Original price:-- Rs. 20/-
Promotion price:-- Rs. 10/-
he he he he he he
Ha Ha Ha ! I
also wasted my time reading this mail so why cant you?

MARKETING CONCEPT

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am
very rich. "Marry me!" - That's Direct Marketing"

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.
One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: "He's
very rich. "Marry him." -That's Advertising"

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her
telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich.
Marry me - That's Telemarketing"

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten
your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door
(of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her
ride and then say: "By the way, I'm rich. Will you "Marry Me?" -
That's Public Relations

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and
says:"You are very rich! "Can you marry ! me?" - That's Brand
Recognition

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am
very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. -
"That's Customer Feedback"

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am
very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband. - "That's
demand and supply gap"

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you
say anything, another person come and tell her: "I'm rich. Will you
marry me?" and she
goes with him - "That's competition eating into your market share"

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you
say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" your wife arrives. - "That's restriction
for entering new markets"

take a chill pill

1. If time doesn't wait for you, don't worry!
Just remove the damn battery from the clock and Enjoy life!


2. Expecting the world to treat u fairly coz u r a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack u coz u r a vegetarian. Think about it!

3. Beauty isn't measured by outer appearance and what clothes we wear, but what we are inside. So, try going out naked tomorrow and see the admiration! ;)

4. Don't walk as if you rule the world,
walk as if you don't care who rules the world!
That's called Attitude...! Keep on rocking!


5. Every lady hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did
and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!


6. He was a good man. He never smoked, drank & had no affair.
When he died, the insurance company refused the claim.
They said, he who never lived, cannot die!


7. A man threw his wife in a pond of Crocodiles?
He's now being harassed by the Animal Rights Activists for being cruel to the Crocodiles!


8. So many options for suicide:

Poison, sleeping pills, hanging,
jumping from a building, lying on train tracks, but we chose Marriage, slow & sure!


9. Only 20 percent girls have brains, rest have boyfriends!

10. All desirable things in life are either
illegal, banned, expensive or married to someone else!


11. Laziness is our biggest enemy- Jawaharlal Nehru.

We should learn to love our enemies- Mahatma Gandhi
Ab aap bataaye kiski sune bapu di ya chacha di???


12. When things go wrong, when sadness fills your heart,
When tears flows from your eyes always say these words...
Eh Ganpat, chal daru la...


13. 10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving.
Which makes it a logical statement that
90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!
Piyo Sar Utha Ke!
