<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“It takes a
little courage, and a little self control and grim determination, if you want
to reach a goal. It takes a great deal of striving, a firm and a stern set
chin. No matter what the battle is if you are really out to win.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Life is not
just a smooth road where every step is an easy one and every goal attainable
without much trouble. Anything worthwhile is difficult to attain and the same
stands for success. It requires a great deal of grit, determination and courage
to reach the much-coveted peak. Successful people, when asked the secret of
their success, invariably answer ‘hard work’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A number of
things distinguish the winner from the looser. At the beginning there are many
contenders, but slowly the hardships of their chosen path take its toll and at
the end it’s the one who overcomes the stumbling blocks, reaches the winning
post. Troubles and problems are challenges to be faced, not blocks to be
feared.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a Russian
proverb puts it “The hammer shatters glasses, but forges steel”. So it all
comes down to what one is made up of. Do you give up when trouble comes calling
or do they further strengthen your resolve to succeed? Do you wither in the
face of adversity or does some strength comes to your rescue?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Do you dream
of being part of achievers? Because only when there is a longing deep inside
which is so intense, you feel it pulsating every moment of the day; a fire so
bright, it lights your way miles ahead, so hot it can’t be quenched unless doused
by success, can you think of performing the unthinkable. Aim at the impossible,
at the heights which make you dizzy and leave no room for surrender in your
life, and then success will be ‘fait accompli’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We have some Indians up here in heaven and they are causing problems. They're swinging on the pearly gates, my horn is missing, they are wearing Dolce and Gabana saris instead of their white robes, they are riding Mercedes and BMW's instead of the chariots, and they're selling their halos to people for discounted prices. They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clear, since they keep crouching down midway eating samosas and drinking chai (tea). Some of them are even walking around with just one wing!'The Lord said, 'Indians are Indians. Heaven is home to all my children. If you want to know about real problems, give Satan a call.'<br /><br />Satan answered the phone, 'Hello? Damn, hold on a minute.' Satan returned to the phone, 'OK I'm back. What can I do for you?'Gabriel replied, 'I just wanted to know what kind of problems you're having down there.'Satan says, 'Hold on again. I need to check on something.'After about 5 minutes Satan returns to the phone and said, 'I'm back. Now what was the question?'Gabriel said, 'What kind of problems are you having down there?'<br /><br />Satan says, 'Man I don't believe this .. Hold on.'This time Satan was gone at least 15 minutes. He returned and said, "I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now.. These Indians are trying to install air conditioning and making hell a comfortable place to live in by putting out the fire..fire is there to keep them uncomfortably hot!! Since they are so tech savvy, they were trying to start a telephone and IIT connection between heaven and hell between ME and GOD. I am having such a hard time controlling and dealing with them!! Some were trying to start a chai - pakora, Chole batura, channa, Dosa and samosa, barfi, Chakli and Dokla (Indian snacks) shop, which I had to stop..I am requesting you OH LORD PLEASE send them back to earth as soon as they arrive for re-birth".<br />So this is the story why Indians are the only ones that are re-born!!!ENLIGHTENED MINDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06337832867853373906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202314309513582203.post-6272678888771703502011-09-14T20:56:00.000-07:002011-09-14T21:05:21.830-07:00Principle vs Power<em><em>I have principle and no power <br />You have power and no principle <br />You being you <br />And I being I <br />Compromise is out of the question <br />So let the battle begin... <br /><br />I have truth and no force <br />You have force and no truth <br />You being you <br />And I being I <br />Compromise is out of the question <br />So let the battle begin... <br /><br />You may club my skull <br />I will fight <br />You may crush my bones <br />I will fight <br />You may bury me alive <br />I will fight <br />With truth running through me <br />I will fight <br />With every ounce of my strength <br />I will fight <br />With my last dying breath <br />I will fight... <br />I will fight till the <br />Castle that you built with your lies <br />Comes tumbling down <br />Till the devil you worshipped with your lies <br />Kneels down before my angel of truth. </em></em><br /><br />-<strong> Bhuchung Sonam, an alumnus of M.S.

NO it can't.......<br />In greed of money we forget our parents -the ones who brought us in this world and because of whom we are able to stand on our feet and taste success.Why is this??<br />Is the western culture getting too heavy on us?<br /><br />Well I dont really know the reason for this but the people which do not understand the importance of these relationships need to sit down,have a small drink and then think cooly that what are they GAINING and what are they LOOSINGENLIGHTENED MINDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06337832867853373906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202314309513582203.post-72555682057757498572009-09-18T06:13:00.000-07:002009-09-19T02:45:53.762-07:00EDUCATION FOR ALLWell this is my first blog and I pray to god that this is succesful<br />The topic which i have choosen for my first blog is "EDUCATION"<br />Education - well it is needless to speak on the importance of this topic.If we see around a world map,the countries which we would call developed have a higher percentage of their population as educated.Even after 62 years of inependence "INDIA"-OUR MOTHERLAND is still called a developing country mainly because more than half of our population is uneducated.<br /><br />Well, there's a huge difference between the words "Education" and "Literacy" which most people think to be similar.From my opinion to be Literate is when a person can read or write any language,whereas Education is an all round development of the personality.That is where the problem lies.In INDIA,people are still literate but they are not educated.The reason for this is both the thinking of our people plus our so very respected Government policies.<br /><br />The people in villages of India have an obscure thinking that their childeren should not be sent to schools for education.They think that their childeren would help in doing the same occupation as thier parents do and help to get 2 meals a day without knowing the fact that by going to school and getting educated they can give them more than 2 meals a day.<br /><br />The government of India also has played a role of a "destroyer" and a "preserver".Yes it has been setting up scools with many feature like "MID -DAY MEALS" etc.But only setting up of schools is not the main thing.The main thing is to mantain those.No standard teachers,discipline in a disarray etc. etc.Students come,enjoy and go.Also if students get some learningin their prelimnary stage,they do not have any further method to continue study.From more than 50 years no Indian university has been set up by the Indian government.<br /><br />What can be done for "Education for all" are awarness campaigns,setting up of standard institutions and schools and trying to forge people to get education.The people can be trained with the importance and benefits of education.The government of India instead of wasting money on needless issues should invest more on education for all.<br /><br />Hope everyone in our country gets educated and our country -INDIA prospers.ENLIGHTENED MINDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06337832867853373906noreply@blogger.com1
