Dalai Lama’s 18 rules for living :      At the start of the new millennium the Dalai Lama apparently issued eighteen rules for living. Since word travels slowly in the digital age these have only just reached me. Here they are.    1 Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.    2 When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.    3  Follow the three Rs        Respect for self         Respect for others         Responsibility for all your actions.     4 Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.     5  Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.     6  Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.     7  When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.     8  Spend some time alone every day.     9 Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.     10  Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.      11 Live a good, honourable life.

One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things.   May you continue to get to know yourself as a mother, shaping into someone who is both her old self and someone completely new.   Efforts may fail.But dont fail to make efforts. Great things will always come late.There is no shortcut to success, only way is hard work….   No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined. But no life is ever happy until it is lived for the glory of God. Keep the faith.   You might regret what you do- but you’ll you regret what you don’t do SO much more   Learn something new each day- keep your eyes, ears and most of all your mind open   God makes us brave when we’re afraid, makes us strong when we are weak, but most of all, he teaches us to hold on to him when things keep falling.   Bell is soundless until some1 rings it, song makes no sense until some2 sings it, dont hide ur feelings coz its not called feelings until others fel it.   Winners think constantly of what they can & will do. Losers think constantly of what they can not do & what they should have done….   We work for a better tommorow,but when “tommorow”comes, instead of enjoying,we again think of a better tommorow. So,let us have a better today.   Courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy … Lift us above the simple beasts and define humanity   ” It is good to remember the past but don’t let the past capture your future. The greatest thing about life ...

T.E. Lawrence   Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. Henry David Thoreau   So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains. And we never even know we have the key.

  Anger is a condition in which The tongue works faster than the mind . You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present By  worrying over the future!         Love…and you shall be loved. God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him. All people smile in the same language.       Everyone needs to be loved… especially when they do not deserve it. The real measure of a man’s wealth is what he has invested in eternity.      Laughter is God’s sunshine. Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it. It’s important for parents to live the same things they teach.      Thank God for what you have, TRUST GOD for what you need.

I have gathered a posie of other men’s flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is my own. *Michel de Montaigne* It is delightful to transport one’s self into the spirit of the past, to see how a wise man has thought before us. *Johann Wolfgang von Goethe* Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. *William Jennings Bryan* It’s not what you do once in a while, it’s what you do day in and day out that makes the difference. A well-cultivated mind is, so to speak, made up of all the minds of preceding ages; it is only one single mind which has been educated during all this time. *Bernard de Bovier de Fontenelle*   Whenever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves, after the first suffering, how we can turn it into good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers. *Leigh Hunt*   Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles. *Jawaharlal Nehru* Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas *Marie Curie* God grant me the serenity ...

Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
