THOUGHT FOR THE DAY or QUOTABLE QUOTES

After seeing Viji's poem in the Good Morning thread I was tempted to start this thread where everyone can share valuable quotes or simple thoughts for the day - I have loads of them so I definitely will post mine everytime I come online... Have a great day everyone Smile

Here comes the first one :-

DISCRETION is - putting 2 + 2 together and keeping you mouth shut.
DIPLOMACY is - the art of jumping into troubled waters without making a splash.
PATIENCE is - the ability to let your light shine after your fuse has blown.
LIBERTY is -the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

Right you are Lata. I have a friend circle who SMS me everyday and many a day I receive lovely messages which I write down in a diary and circulate it.. Now I glad I can put good use to it...

What a busy-bee you are. Looks like you spend every waking moment creatively! I don't have the patience to note down in diaries anymore. All I do is copy/paste. Smile

When You Wake Up in the Morning,
You have two choices -
Go back to sleep and dream your dreams
Or wake up and chase those dreams....

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship." - Buddha

(I've never understood the middle part. Maybe, I need more experience to really understand what contentment is, but then again, maybe, it would take me a whole lifetime to "get it"...) Smile

Do you know the relation between your two eyes........?
They blink together.......
They move together .......
they cry together .......
they see things together.......
And they sleep together .......
Even though they never see
...........EACH OTHER
Friendship should be just like that...
....life is difficult without friends....

Thank you each and every one here on ikolam for being my friend Smile

I love photos,
Becoz the best thing about it is,
That it never changes,
Even when the people in it change...

Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends. -- Cindy Lew

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

In life just don’t trust people, who change their feelings with time…
Instead trust those people whose feelings remain the same, even when the time changes…

DO IT ANYWAY by Mother Teresa
------------

People are often unreasonable, illogical,
And self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you
Of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some
False friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank;
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis
it is between you and God
It was never between you and them anyway.

Never fear shadows.
They simply mean that there's a light shining somewhere nearby.

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination..
There is no better time to be happy than
NOW!
Live and enjoy the moment..

A true friend is one who tolerates your success and overlooks your failures

Never go away from a person when you find some small faults.
Always remember you need AFFECTION not PERFECTION...

Subject: Thought for the day!
--
One day a young lady was driving along with her father. They came upon a storm, and the young lady asked her father, What should I do?"

He said "keep driving". Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was getting worse.

"What should I do." The young lady asked?
"Keep driving," her father replied.

On up a few feet, she noticed that eighteen wheelers were also pulling over. She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is terrible, and everyone is pulling over!"

Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"

Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was again on dry land, and the sun came out.

Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out."

She said "But why now?"

He said "When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are still in the storm, because you never gave up your storm is now over.
_______________________________________________
Just because everyone else, even the strongest, gives up. You don't have to...if you keep going, soon your storm will be over and the sun will shine upon your face again.

This story touched me! I hope it touched you!

Have a nice day...
