Yet for the first time it is Mrs Spencer sitting at his desk instead of Mr Spencer. "It has been a difficult year and I never quite knew what we actually had in the bank. As you know, my husband...

I know sometimes you feel like giving up. Every new day there's seems to be no change in your life. All the troubles of your heart and worries keep on worsening! You wonder why everything is happening to you. You keep on asking yourself why you're not lucky like other people. You keep on praying to God but so far He hasn't answered your prayers. Now you have started losing hope. You now think that...

If You Say It, Mean It

By Life Lessons on August 22, 2015 / 2,490 views

You can say "sorry" a million times, say "I love you" as much as you want, say whatever you want, whenever you want. But if you're not going to prove that the things you say are true, then don't say anything at all. Because if you can't show it, your words don’t mean a thing. Don't lie in order to satisfy somebody for a moment, because the pain...

The Awesome World

How about we as humans turn from our ways of pointing fingers and judging others, and start showing support and understanding? How about we turn from war and hate, and start showing peace and love? How about we turn from fighting and racism, and start showing appreciation and...

Smart Phones

I was driving to town on a beautiful summer day. The sky was full of fat, fluffy clouds. Queen Anne's Lace, Daisies, and Black Eyed Susans were growing on the hillsides. The sun was dancing through the green trees with its golden light and I was smiling at the wonder of it all. Suddenly, a truck rounded the curve in front of me, two feet over the center line. I jerked my wheel to the right and my tires...

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their...

Two Books

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 19, 2015 / 6,664 views

When I was in college one year I signed up for some Summer classes. The college was quiet and mostly empty during the Summer months and I spent most of my time in the huge library with its air conditioning to beat the July heat. It felt like every book in the whole world was there and I took my time going through the shelves looking at as many as I could. One day in particular I found two very...

Words That Changed The Mind!

By Anjali Mohapatra on August 18, 2015 / 7,719 views

I think, mind runs fastest, even faster than the speed of light! I feel, mind is very, very delicate! It should be handled with care. 'Mindset' has a key role for every success or failure in life! And since it is delicate, sometime the words fed by others can change it's entire program. Why I mentioned this, because I want to elicit an example of 'impact of words over mind', through a short...

By Scooter on August 18, 2015 / 5,247 views

Oscar Wilde said "The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention." How busy we are with our daily schedules and activities. But how long would it take to do a small favour for someone, a random act of kindness? It could be as simple as telling a fellow human that they have a nice hat, or holding a door open for someone. You could give up a cab for someone in a...

Listen To Your Heart

By Sonia Kaur on August 17, 2015 / 6,454 views

Heart tells the truth because it knows what it wants but we guys become slave of mind. Mind always puts into competition and heart gives us pleasure. Heart never lies it shows you right way and encourages you for doing good because god dwells in the heart. Our ego remains in our mind that is why decision taken from mind are always wrong, you may agree with me or not but mind always shows wrong...

Recovering Shopaholic Says 'Less Is More'

By Free Spirit on August 17, 2015 / 6,101 views

I'm a recovering shopaholic and this is my story: When I was growing up, we didn't have much. We lived in a house, but we were always money poor. Sometimes I would sell things in order to have money to go out with friends. My friends never knew. I went to university and took on student loans. It was the first time I had money and it felt good. At university campuses, we were given free gifts...

Don't Rely On Motivation For Anything

By Dr Drangle on August 17, 2015 / 5,468 views

Don't rely on motivation for anything. It is fleeting and unreliable. Discipline, however, is unyielding. Force yourself to follow through. Things are going to come up in life that get in the way of your goals but that's no reason to let them stop you completely. Can't do a whole run? Do half of one. Don't have time to go to the gym to lift? Do pushups. Any action is better than...

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight...

My Window

By Suditi Srivastava on August 15, 2015 / 5,417 views

Being back home brings me so many memories, especially when I sit by my room's window. The sunlight still falls exactly the way it used to, forming the identical patterns on the wall adjacent to my window. I feel the same birds have stayed here for all these years, as the chirping still sounds familiar and the street children around have never grown up because their endless noise and rattles...

My Rules

"People think that they can judge anyone." How foolish they are! We always copy others' life because we think they are much better than us. It's not true. Just think about ourselves, what you are??? What is your skill ??? What makes u different from others? When you think this you will get success. When any successful person gives his speech, we try to copy him. Because...
