is it life

Human


Hi Dear friend,

Lets thinkss......




God created the donkey


and said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset
carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,
you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years"
God granted his wish.
.............................................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God created the dog


and said to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years.
You will be a dog. "
The dog answered:
"Sir, to live 30 years is too much,give me only 15 years.
" God granted his wish.
.............................................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God created the monkey


and said to him:
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.
You will be amusing and you will live
20 years. "
The monkey answered:
"To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years."
God granted his wish.
.............................................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally God created man ...

and said to him:
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.
You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals..
You will dominate the world and you will live 20 years."

Man responded:
"Sir, I will be a man but to live only
20 years is very little,
give me the 30 years that the donkey refused,
the 15 years that the dog did not want and
the 10 years the monkey refused.
" God granted man's wish
............................................................................................

And since then, man lives
20 years as a man ,

marries and spends
30 years like a donkey,
working and carrying all the burdens on his back.

Then when his children are grown,
he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house
and eating whatever is given to him,

so that when he is old,
he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey,
going from house to house and from one son or
daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.

That's Life.

Is'nt it ???????

how is ur answer

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's
raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see
three people waiting for a bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die!

2. An old friend who once saved your life!

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about!

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that
there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading...

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of
a job application.

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and
thus you should save her first;

* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life,
and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.


The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?

He simply answered:
"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady
to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the
partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

story

An amazing story... there are some men who r really wonderful

Ours was an arranged marriage. It was done the traditional way. Our parents
took care of everything. My only condition was that she should be ready to
work. Our horoscopes and photos were exchanged. Everything Matched. I spoke
to her over the phone. We talked about things two strangers would talk. She
was a lecturer in Bangalore who felt Chemistry was more important than
Hindi movies. There was no engagement. The date for marriage was fixed in 2
weeks as I could not get a vacation after that. Even the vacation time I
got was just 10 days.

Everything was fixed. It was supposed to be very hectic for me. We got
married and 2 days later we had to leave the country. She cried like there
was no tomorrow when we left. She would not talk to me on the plane. I
thought that was usual for an Indian girl. I thought she would get over it.
Once home she would not talk to me. She sat in a corner staring at the TV.
For the first couple of days I had to catch up on some work and did not
take her mood seriously.

A week later I sat beside her and asked her, "What is wrong?"

"Why did you bring me here?"

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"I want to go home"

"This is your home"

"No. I want to go home. Please buy me a ticket"

"Look, everybody feels homesick. I did when I came here the first time. It
is normal. You will get over it. Sorry I have been busy with work. We can
go out this weekend. You will meet my friends and other people who will be
very friendly. Come on be a good girl"

"I hate this place. I miss my family, my friends and my college. All the
people I know are not here. I want to go home"

"Think for a minute. Try to reason it out yourself. What is your plan by
the way? So you want to go back and never come back?"

"Yes"

"Are you crazy?"

"If you think this is crazy then I am."

"It is ok if you do not answer this question. Is there someone else?"

"No. I want to go home. I will call 911 if you do not send me"

"First cool down. Think about it. Think about our parents. It is less than
a month that we got married and now you want to return home. You very well
knew that you had to come here. What were you thinking? Even if you are
returning home what happens to our marriage?"

"I am not blaming you. I take the blame. It is my mistake. I can't stay so
far away from my family. If you are so interested come to India"

"I am family too! What you are asking is ridiculous."

The next day she would not change her mind. I called my folks. They said
that it was my decision and they would stand by me. I booked her ticket and
put it in her hand the next evening. She was to leave in 2 days. Nothing
would convince her to change her mind. She was crying like a kid. Then she
left.

She had done nothing for me to miss but something inside me was telling me
that I was at fault. I tried to shake it off but as time grew I started
feeling more guilty. I called her. She made it clear that she did not find
me despicable but she would not leave her city. Her parents apologized
profusely but they were helpless too.

I have had crushes. None of them were serious. There was this girl in my
high school tuition whose phone no I managed to find out. Then the
prettiest girl in college whom everybody loved, who talked to me once. Then
the girl from my city who was at my university in USA who made me feel at
home when I visited her place. I had ignored them once! I crossed their
paths. But Anjali was my wife. I could not ignore her.

I decided to quit my job. I went home. No one back home knew I was
returning. I wanted to surprise her. I dropped off my bags at my place and
went to the college she was teaching. The gate keeper would not let me in.
So I had to wait outside for the classes to get over.

She walked out alone, struggling to carry her bag, tired, with slow steps.
She was walking towards the bus stop. I silently followed her and went
behind her and whispered, "Do you mind if I carry your bag?"

She was startled and turned to face me. Her eyes lit up. I was not sure if
I could hug her. I was smiling and she had 100 questions written all over
her face. "I want to spend a week with you in this city. Show me the things
that you could not miss"

That one week went in a jiffy. She was treated a kid at home with all the
comforts. That explained her behavior. Coffee was brought to her in the
morning. Even her dress was laid out for her. She would have breakfast and
leave. The bus journey was an hour. She would sit near the window with a
book. Then once in the college she would teach her classes and come out
tired in the evening. She would stand in the crowded bus carrying her bag
which would look heavy. Then she would alight, go home, have a snack and
would head out to a friend's place.

Some times she'd stay home watching TV or listening to music. When her dad
returned she would join him and they'd have dinner. Then her mom would tuck
her in bed. Weekends were not much different. She would sleep late, wake up
for breakfast and lie down talking on the phone. Then she would visit the
temple in the evening and would have her singing lessons. Then she would
eat out and would head home late. That was her life. It was something every
human being wanted - simple, content and happy. Of course to her I was a
villain. I told her that I understood her. I wanted to know if it was ok if
she stayed in the same city but away from her parents. Her only condition
was that I should not stay at my parent's place to which I agreed.

So we moved into a small apartment. She knew nothing. She had to be taught
everything. She learnt. It was hard to make her understand that she had
duties and she had a husband. Coffee had to be brought to her in the
morning. She made the rules and broke them. She did not care for me.
Sometimes she would not return home but go to her parents' place without
informing me. I would have had to go bring her back.

Slowly she started realizing about married life. She would wake up before
me, try to cook, agree for a movie, visit my friend's place, invite me to
her college, let me dress her up, dance in front of me, teach me Chemistry,
talk about her crushes, play cricket with me, make me cry for a change. She
was growing mature day by day. One day she apologized for the whole thing.
I brushed it aside. Finally I had her the way I wanted.

Today I am happy and content with my life. She is still there crying to get
her things done. I keep reminding her how she had threatened to call the
police. She laughs it away. Some times I wonder how life would have been if
I had not returned. Then again some things are left as they are.

That's how life is...
There are two ways of meeting difficulties:
You alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them"

msg

My friends message share with here!!!



One rich man owned 19 horses when he died. In his
last will and teastament he had written that upon his
death, half the horses he owned should go to his only
son; one fourth to the village temple and one fifth to
the faithful servant. The village elders could not
stop scratching their heads. How can they give half of
the 19 horses to the son? You cannot cut up a horse.
They puzzled over this dilemma for more than two weeks
and then decided to send for a wise man who was living
in a neighbouring village.

The wise man came riding on his horse and asked the
villagers if he can be of any help to them. The
village elders told him about the rich man's last will
and testament which stated that half of the (19)
horses must be given to his only son, one fourth must
go to the temple and one fifth to the faithful
servant.

The wise man said he will immediately solve their
problem without any delay whatsoever. He had the 19
horses placed in a row standing next to one another.
Then he added his own horse as the 20th horse. Now he
went about giving half of the 20 horses that is ten
horses to the son. One fourth of 20- that is 5 horses
were given to the temple committee. One fifth of
twenty- that is 4 horses were given to the faithful
servant. 10+5+4 made 19 horses. The remaining 20th
horse was his own which he promptly mounted, spoke a
few inspiring words, and rode back home.

The villagers were simply dumfounded, full of
disbelief and filled with admiration. And the parting
words of the wise man were inscribed in their hearts
and minds which they greatly cherished and passed on
to their succeeding generations till today.

The wise man said: In our daily lives, in our daily
affairs, simply add God's name and then go about
facing the day's happenings. Ever come across problems
in life that are seemingly insurmountable? (Like the
villagers, do we feel that such problems cannot be
solved?).

The wise man continued: Add the God Principle in our
daily lives and the problems will become lighter and
eventually will disappear. In the manner of the ice
which, with the addition of the heat principle will
turn into water, and that will eventually evaporate as
steam and disappear. And how do we add God's name in
our daily lives? Through prayers, filled with true
love and devotion with sincerity of purpose and
dedication that only total faith can bring about.
Meditation is a powerful means of directing the mind
Godward.

But without true love and devotion entering into it,
it remains like a boat without water. It is not
difficult to push a boat that is floating in water,
but extremely hard to drag the same boat on dry land.

In the same way, if our life's boat floats on the
waters of true love and devotion, we can sail easily
in it. The principle of love of God and devotion with
total faith, (like water) makes easy the voyage of our
lives. When the mind is pure and the heart full of
simplicity and holiness, such a devotee becomes an
instrument in the service of the Lord.
