LITTLE EYES ON YOU

There are little eyes upon you and they’re watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager to do anything you do;

And a little boy who’s dreaming of the day he’ll be like you.
You’re the little fellow’s idol; you’re the widest of the wise.
In this little mind about you no suspicious ever rise.

He believes in you devoutly, holds all that you say and do;
He will say and do, in your way, when he’s grown up like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow who believes you’re always right;
And his eyes are always opened, and he watches day and night.

You are setting an example every day in all you do.
For the little boy who’s waiting to grow up to be like you.

Work Life Balance

A man come home from late, tired and irritated, to find his five-year old son waiting for him at the door…

Son: “Daddy, may I ask you a question”
Daddy: “Yeah sure, what it is?”
Son: Dad, how much do you make an hour?
Daddy: “That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”
Son: “I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?”
Daddy: “I make Rs.500 an hour”.
“Oh”, the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said,”Dad, may I please borrow Rs.300?
The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or other nonsense, then march your self to your room and go to bed. Think why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior”.
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions.
How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think; “May be there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.300 and he really didn’t ask for money very often!”
The man went to the door of little boy’s room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son”? He asked.
“No daddy, I’m awake, “replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking may be I was too hard on you earlier” said the man.
“It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the Rs.300 you asked for”.
The little boy sat straight up, smiling, “oh thank you dad!” He yelled.
Then reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up notes.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
“Why do you want money if you already had some”? The father grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.
Daddy I have Rs.500 now. Can I but an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

MORAL:
It is just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to take time out for our family ……..

HOW DO I CHANGE

If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my work.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetence I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my own emotions.
“We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it,
But this world is owned by men who have crossed bridges in their imagination far ahead of the crowd.”

From compromise and things half done,
Keep me with stern and stubborn pride,
And when at last the fight is own,
God, keep me still unsatisfied.

DO NOT QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.


Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won and he stuck it out;
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow—
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt—
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s must things seem worst than you mustn’t quit.

CHILD LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE

CIf a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.


WHAT CHILDREN GET, THEY GIVE TO SOCIETY.

I SEE

I see my emotions running deep Deep
to the very core of my soul
I close my eyes but still I see
I see a world out of control.

I see many have lost all morals
and violence that knows no bounds
I close my eyes deep in the night
Only to hear the blood curdling sounds.

I close my eyes but still I see
I see in my dreams
Our children beaten and abused
And I hear their screams.

I see our children with guns
I see them totally overwrought
Shooting down their friends
Without a second thought!

I see my emotions running deep
Deep to the very core of my soul
I close my eyes hoping to see peace on earth
But still I see -

I see a world out of control.

THE SHIP OF LIFE

The ship of life
Across the shore awaits a boat

Though sea's are rough, its still
afloat

Raise the sails, held up by mast
Forget the troubles of distant
past

As wave crash down upon the deck
Steady the boat; not quite a
wreak

Tend the mast, and fix the scrach
light the lantern with one last
match

The storm will end, pull anchor
and rope.

look up to see the stars of hope.
