Different perspective;;

What creates your perspective of the planet? What are the contributing factors that have encouraged you to generate belief systems of how the world works? It's time to drop our belief systems, and see what has really been taking place on our planet over the years. Much of it doesn't resonate and the time for change has come.

Esiest way to learn the name of bones in Human Skeleton..

 

नर हो न निराश करो मन को..

नर हो न निराश करो मन को, कुछ काम करो कुछ काम करो

जग में रहके निज नाम करो, यह जन्म हुआ किस अर्थ अहो

समझो जिसमें यह व्यर्थ न हो, कुछ तो उपयुक्त करो तन को

नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।

संभलो कि सुयोग न जाए चला, कब व्यर्थ हुआ सदुपाय भला

समझो जग को न निरा सपना, पथ आप प्रशस्त करो अपना

अखिलेश्वर है अवलम्बन को, नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।

जब प्राप्त तुम्हें सब तत्त्व यहाँ, फिर जा सकता वह सत्त्व कहाँ

...तुम स्वत्त्व सुधा रस पान करो, उठके अमरत्व विधान करो

दवरूप रहो भव कानन को, नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।

निज गौरव का नित ज्ञान रहे, हम भी कुछ हैं यह ध्यान रहे

सब जाय अभी पर मान रहे, मरणोत्तर गुंजित गान रहे

कुछ हो न तजो निज साधन को, नर हो न निराश करो मन को ।

प्रेम...

एक युवक को किसी लड़की से प्रेम हो गया। लड़की बहुत खूबसूरत नहीं थी, लेकिन उस युवक के लिए वह सबकुछ थी। वह उसी के खयालों में रहने लगा। उसके ही सपने देखता। उसकी यह हालत देखकर युवक के दोस्त ने उससे कहा, ‘तुम उस लड़की के बारे में दिन-रात सोचते रहते हो, उस लड़की से भी तो पूछ लो कि वह तुम्हें पसंद करती है या नहीं?’ युवक ने कहा कि उससे कैसे पूछूं? तो दोस्त ने बताया, ‘पहले उसे अपनी भावनाएं बताना, फिर पूछना कि क्या वह तुम्हें पसंद करती है?’ युवक ने ऐसा ही किया। उसने लड़की के सामने प्रेम का प्रस्ताव रखा तो उसने इनकार कर दिया।
दोस्त को लगा कि युवक इस घटना से टूट जाएगा। उसे डर था कि वह नशे की ओर न चला जाए, लेकिन युवक और दिनों से ज्यादा प्रफुल्लित मिला। दोस्त ने पूछा, ‘तुम्हारा दिल टूटा है, तुम इतने खुश कैसे हो?’ युवक ने उत्तर दिया, ‘मैं दुखी क्यों होऊंगा। मैंने तो उसे खोया है, जिसने मुङो कभी प्यार किया ही नहीं। लेकिन उस बेचारी ने तो उसे खो दिया है, जो उसे बेइंतहा प्यार करता है।’

कथा-मर्म : प्यार देने की चीज है, लेने की नहीं। यह अपेक्षा नहीं करनी चाहिए कि जिसे आप प्यार करते हैं, वह भी आपको प्यार करे।

Johny's Birthday

Little Johny came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner. His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted.

Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.

Little Johny was a bit of a troublemaker.

He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.

Johny's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday.

Little Johny, of course, thought he did.

Johny's mother wanted Johny to reflect on his behavior over the last year.

Go to your room, Johny, and think about how you have behaved this year.

Then write a letter to God and tell him why you deserve a bike for your birthday. Little Johny stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write God a letter.

************ **

Letter 1

Dear God,

I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my birthday.

I want a red one.

Your friend,

Johny

************ **

Johny knew that this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this year,

So he tore up the letter and started over.

************ **

Letter 2

Dear God,

This is your friend Johny. I have been a good boy this year and I would like

A red bike for my birthday. Thank you.

Your friend,

Johny

************ **

Johny knew that this wasn't true either. So, he tore up the letter and started again.

************ **

Letter 3

Dear God,

I have been an OK boy this year. I still would really like a bike for my birthday.

Johny

************ **

Johny knew he could not send this letter to God either. So, Johny wrote a fourth letter.

************ **

Letter 4

God,

I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I am very sorry.

I will be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my birthday.

Please! Thank you,

Johny

************ **

Johny knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a bike. Now, Johny was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mom that he wanted to go to church. Johny's mother thought her plan had worked, as Johny looked very sad. Just be home in time for dinner, Johny's mother told him. Johny walked down the street to the church on the corner.

Little Johny went into the church and up to the altar. He looked around to see if anyone was there. Johny bent down and picked up a statue of the Mary. He slipped the statue under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into the house, and up to his room. He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.

Johny began to write his letter to God.

************ **

Letter 5

OK GOD,

I'VE KIDNAPPED YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE!!!!!!

"Goals" An Inspirational Story

A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around. As soon as one came he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it. One day a neighbor asked the farmer "Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car?" The farmer replied, "That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one." Many people in life behave like that dog who is pursuing meaningless goals.

Life is hard by the yard,

but by the inch,

it's a cinch.

--Gean Gordon

Why are Goals Important?

On the best sunny day, the most powerful magnifying glass will not light paper if you keep moving the glass. But if you focus and hold it, the paper will light up. That is the power of concentration.

A man was traveling and stopped at an intersection. He asked an elderly man, "Where does this road take me?" The elderly person asked, "Where do you want to go?" The man replied, "I don't know." The elderly person said, "Then take any road. What difference does it make?"

How true. When we don't know where we are going, any road will take us there.

Suppose you have all the football eleven players, enthusiastically ready to play the game, all charged up, and then someone took the goal post away. What would happen to the game? There is nothing left. How do you keep score? How do you know you have arrived?

Enthusiasm without direction is like wildfire and leads to frustration. Goals give a sense of direction. Would you sit in a train or a plane without knowing where it was going? The obvious answer is no. Then why do people go through life without having any goals?
