Read this below story I received this from a good friend The story goes that.........

Some time ago a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for wasting a
roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became even
more upset when the child pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put
under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the
next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." The father was embarrassed by
his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was
empty.
He spoke to her in a harsh manner,"Don't you know, young lady, when you give
someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy,
it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full." The father
was crushed.
He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her to
forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it
is told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of his life.
And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the
box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had
put it there. In a very real sense,each of us as human beings have been given a
golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family,
friends and God.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

Positive Attitude...!!
Once there was loving couple travelling in a bus in a mountainous area.
They decided to get down at some place. After the couple got
down at some place the bus moved on.........,
As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the mountain
and crushed the bus to crumbs.
Everybody on board was killed.
The couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus" Why
do u think they said that????????
------------ ------- Answer !!!! ------------ ------If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down,

the resulting time delay could have been avoided and

the rock would have fallen after the bus had passed ..!!!
Think positive in life always and look for opportunities when u can help
Others......

Positive attitude helps to cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings
optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worry and negative thinking.
If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes into your life,
and makes them happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude
you see the bright side of life, become optimstic and expect the best to happen.
It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth developing and strengthening.

life. If you look at the bright side of life, your whole life becomes filled with light.
This light affects not only you and the way you look at the world, but also your
whole environment and the people around you. If it is strong enough, it becomes
contagious.
The benefits of a positive attitude:

Making your life simple

December 7, 2011 by Academy for Creative Training

Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.
Charles Dudley Warner
Are you one of those who is forever complaining, someone who is constantly
stressed, a person who never seems to have enough and an individual in the quest
of his / her individuality? Our source of dissatisfaction, restlessness and
irritation can be stymied and possibly got rid off by learning to avoid
complicating our thinking and by focusing on simplifying our living. How do
we complicate our thinking? How can we simplify our living? The answers to these
questions are the essence of todays post.
How do we complicate our thinking?
Comparisons. A common human bane is our invariable impulsive need to compare
with others. Be it our own physical personality or mental abilities or wealth and
riches; the urge to surpass the other creates in us need to compare and this leads
us to warped thinking, skewed logic and insatiable wants.
Desires. Coveting what catches our fancy is perhaps a logical extension of our sin
of comparison. However this goes deeper in as much as we pay no attention to our
need but cave into our greed and lust and this blinds us to the consequences or
price of our actions.
Jealousy. Our insatiable urge for things manifests itself in desires whilst our ego is
largely responsible for inability to restrain ourselves from comparing with those
around. Alas, the combination of these two evils sparks of a third bigger evil
jealousy. Jealousy unfortunately has no antidote and the best way to stem the rot is
by learning to appreciate all that we posses.
Lack of appreciation. By failing to acknowledge all that we are blessed with, we
tend to take things for granted. If you have sprained any part of your body or you
have had a hand or leg in cast you would understand how much we have taken our
physical body for granted. Do we really appreciate the blessings of a loving family
the power we have in the form of an intimate friends circle or the blessings of good
health?

How can we simplify our living?

Acceptance: We have to make the best use of the cards that have been given us in
this life. The first step then is to accept the reality and then begin to make the best
of what we have. What we really need to watch out for are excuses that we spew out
when we fail to grasp the opportunities that come our way. Acceptance is no license
either to stop striving for one can steadily progress by aiming higher.
Be grateful : If you are reading this just be grateful for your education, your
eyesight, the fortune of being able to access the computer and for the good fortune
of coming across this site. Perhaps there are many more things to be grateful for. In
reality do we value all the triumphs, the trails, the pain and the pleasure that we
have experienced. The trails and pains are invaluable experiences that teach us a
lot while the pain and the pleasure makes our life more fulfilling.
Enjoy the moment: Far too often we plan, strategize, anticipate, imagine and
visualize in order to protect our future. Alas in this scramble to enjoy the future
we miss out on relishing the present, the reality of now and the ecstasy of
living. While it is essential to also think of the future that must never be at the
cost of not having a great laugh, indulging in some tomfoolery caressing a loved one
or enjoying the affectation of loved ones.
Worry less: The one thing that we overlook when trying to simplify life is
minimizing stress. Stress is nothing but worry working overtime and overtaking our
happiness. The way to minimize worry is by assessing the source and the
consequence and then reconcile to it. This requires a lot of grit to confront the
problem and a healthy dose of positivity to appreciate the worst case scenario.
Worrying wont solve problems but by minimizing our worrying we will have peace
of mind, clarity of thought and ample time to enjoy the moment.
Remember: In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme
excellence is simplicity. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
