LIFES BEATINGS

I lay awake at night searching for peace of mind, soul and heart. Trying to gather emotions to understand what went wrong. Trying to figure out how I came to this point in life. Trying to grasp at memories in the air of things I know that I will not ever have again. Trying to live life like an open book but yet always wanting to turn to the last page when the page I'm on ..I don't like.
Wondering where to go from here. Whether to start over in a place in which I am unfamiliar with or to stay where I am at. I fight with the things I have done wrong. I search for penance for the mistakes I have made... hoping someday I will come to understand that it was all a lesson in life and one I had to learn the hard way.
But as I now reach the final stage I question if the things I did were what I was meant to do. As I now pass from one realm to the next, I hope my passing will be quick and painless unlike my life ..slow and painful.
I stand at a fork in the road and to pray to choose the right path in which I shall carry this scared corpse of mine . Hoping to find peace and fearing for the pain of making my final decision. Searching for heaven and the pearly gates and running from the fires of hell. I only ask one thing in my passing.. please forgive me cruel world for I know not what I do!

Life Still Has A Meaning

If there is a future there is time for mending-

Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-

If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-

When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.

Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-

If there is time for praying there is time for healing.

So if through your window there is a new day breaking-

Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,

If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-

There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.

Karachi’s W-11 Minibus Decoration for Australian Tram
via www.melbourne2006.com.au

A team of W-11 vehicle decorators from Karachi will undertake a residency in Melbourne to transform a tram that will run a free service on the Melbourne City Circle tram route during Games time. A fleet of particularly vibrant mini-buses ply the Karachi route called W-11, characterised by stainless-steel panels, brightly coloured plastic collages, flashing light patterns, music beats and exuberant conductors. Karachi had a horse-drawn tram system till the 1930s, then a petrol-fuelled system until the 1970s. Could there be a W-11 tram, a vehicle travelling from Karachi to Melbourne? How would these Karachi vehicle decorators invoke the spirit of this transport? Vehicles of transport have long been celebrated in the Indus valley, adorned with elaborate decoration to keep good spirits with the journey.

Why Women Cry ???


A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Today I will delete from my diary
two days: yesterday and tomorrow
Yesterday was to learn
and tomorrow will be the consequence
of what I can do today.

Today I will face life

with the conviction that this day

will not ever return.

Today is the last opportunity

I have to live intensely,

as no one can assure me that

I will see tomorrow's sunrise.

Today I will be brave enough

not to let any opportunity pass me by,

my only alternative is to succeed.

Today I will invest
my most valuable resource:my time,
in the most trascendental work:my life;

I will spend each minute

passionately to make

of today a different

and unique day in my life.

Today I will defy every obstacule

that appears on my way trusting
I will succeed.

Today I will resist
pesimism and will conquer

the world with a smile,

with the positive attitude
of expecting always the best.

Today I will make of every ordinary task

a sublime _expression,

Today I will have my feet on the ground
understanding reality
and the stars' gaze
to invent my future.

Today I will take the time to be happy

and will leave my footprints and my

presence in the hearts of others.

Today, I invite you to begin a new season
where we can dream
that everything we undertake is possible
and we fulfil it,
with joy and dignity.

~ TRUST ~

I was reading today a short, cute story related to trust, that really inspired me. Hope you guys too like it.

A little girl and her father were crossing a filmsy bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you dont fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad, You hold my hand."
"What's the difference?", asked the puzzeled father.

"There is a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens; you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, age, caste, or creed but in its bond. So friends hold the hands of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold urs........

WHAT IS A FRIEND????

Faithful

A friend is always faithful to you, even during the bad times.

Reliable
A friend is reliable..you can count on them to always be there.

In touch
A friend stays in touch, even though it may not be as often as you'd like!

Enduring
A true friendship is enduring, lasting even when friends lose touch for a while.

Needed
A friend is always there for you when you need someone to hug.

Devoted

It's About LIFE...

Life is about experiences, which makes us grow;

According to time and situations, it flows.
Sometimes everything seems clear and perfect,

Sometimes, it’s all haze;

Maybe, life is a maze,

Every time, it leaves us amazed.

Not everyone in life, gets everything.

Sometimes,You lose even by gaining, and gain, even by losing.

Why cry for losing something, which we never owned.

Life doesn't stop by accidents;

Else, the world would have ended.

Anyone can sympathize with our hurts,

But, its only we that bleed when it hurts.

Why should our life depend on someone, for happiness;

It’s we, who create our own happiness...

Even in our whole life, for someone, you change your ways;

At the end of the day, with you, only your shadow stays.

The world may seem beautiful, and people may get influenced by charm;

But, in times of need, it’s our own hand, at the end of our arm.

Love and relations, are like sand,

Which we try to hold in our hand;

The more we want them to stay, the more they slip away

Let no one and nothing control you,

Come what may;

Let you, only your faith in God sway.

Things that are just a part of Life,

Must be kept that way.

If we make them Life, by mistake;

Heart is bound to break.

Today may seem faint and dull,

Compared to the beautiful past;

But, tomorrow will bring beautiful moments to last.

Why look for a shoulder to cry on,

And support from someone;

One moment people are around, next moment gone;

Fact is,

He’s the strongest man in life, who stands on his own...all alone.

Whenever in life, things seem to slip out of your hands;

Give it in God’s hands,

Since, everything is safe in his hands.

After every sunset of hurts and despair,

There's a new sunrise of hopes and prayer.

It takes both rain and sunshine to make rainbows,

And like a spring, life always flows;

Even after a bright day ends,

Still in the dark night sky, stars and moon glows....

3 C's

The 3 C's of life.... are Courage, Capacity and Commitment.

It takes Courage and a commitment to make many of life's decisions, and capacity to follow them through.

The 3 C's of a successful relationship.... are Caring, Consideration and Communication. Communication opens the door between us, consideration allows us to pass through it and our ability to care for each other unites us.

Do u have any 3C's to share...???

I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't. I've learned- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that

I'[ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

UN NEEDED WAR......!

So many dead so many more hurt

Bodies of children lie in the dirt

Hospitals full of crying and fear

Listening to more bombs falling near

Blood on the hands of all in this war

Tears in the heavens, "what's it all for?”

All for one man, a murderous one

For him alone this carnage begun

Had to be another way to stop atan's whore

Instead of the thousands to die in a war

The devil was caught, but the sadness remains

Was the death of so many, worth the gain?

The scars of this terror will never fade

And it’s the living that ultimate will pay

Husbands, wives, children all gone

In a horror most of the world thought wrong

Formula 4 SUCCESS...

A small truth to make our Life's 100% successful...

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is equal to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then,

H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

L+O+V+E=12+15+22+5=54% L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%

(None of them makes 100%)...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Then what makes 100% ?

Is it Money? ......No!!!!!

Leadership? ......NO!!!!

Every problem has a solution,

only if we perhaps change our "ATTITUDE"

It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes...

OUR Life 100% Successful...

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

To achieve this 100% attitude, you must !!!

be disciplined in life……

yes that reminds me...

Even D+I+S+C+I+P+L+I+N+E = 100%

Don't you think so?

Why Worry?

There are only two things in life to worry about:

Whether you are well or whether you are sick.
If you are well,

then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are sick,

there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are going to get well

or whether you are going to die.

If you get well,

then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you die,

there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are going to go to heaven or whether you are going to go to hell.
If you go to heaven,

then you have nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell,

you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends,

that you won't have time to worry!
So, Why Worry?

Be Happy:)
Do not cry if the Sun sets at the end of the day, because the tears will not let you enjoy the beauty of the Stars.

Planting

If you plant honesty, You will reap trust If you plant goodness, You will reap friends If you plant humility, You will reap greatness If you plant perseverance, You will reap victory If you plant consideration, You will reap harmony If you plant hard work, You will reap success If you plant forgiveness, You will reap reconciliation If you plant openness, You will reap intimacy If you plant patience, You will reap improvements If you plant faith, You will reap miracles
But If you plant dishonesty, You will reap distrust. If you plant selfishness, you will reap loneliness if you plant pride, you will reap destruction if you plant envy, you will reap trouble if you plant laziness, You will reap stagnation. If you plant bitterness, You will reap isolation If you plant greed, You will reap loss If you plant gossip, You will reap enemies If you plant worries, You will reap wrinkles If you plant sin, You will reap guilt ,.
So be careful what you plant now, It will determine what you will reap tomorrow, The seeds you now scatter, Will make life worse or better, for your life or the ones who will come after. Yes, someday, you will enjoy the fruits, Or you will pay for the choices you plant today.
