One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey.
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.

Every morning, a friend of mine sends some real wonderful quotations...hats off to his sustainance that he keeps feeding us with these wonderful words, and let us know that life is beatuiful...sharing a few with u. I am tempted to ask him to start a blog. ;)
Quotable Quotes:
If we look at what we do not have in life, We don't have anything
If we look at what we have in life, We have everything... ! ! !
The advantage is not in possessing good things ,
But in knowing where, when and how to use them... ! ! !
What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or
Suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear ;
That means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it.
We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
Thats the best and easiest way to handle fear... ! ! !
In the game of life it's good to have a few early losses ,
Which relieves us of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season... ! !
Motivation is what gets U started.
Habit is what keeps U going... ! ! !
Act as if U were not afraid ,And Uwill become courageous;
Act as if U could , And U'll find soon that U can... ! ! !
In life we do come across disappointments.
But these disappointments can be finite ,
Only if we have infinte Hope ... ! ! !
Do not fear mistakes .
Fear only the absence of Creative, Constructive and Corrective responses to those mistakes... ! ! !
Being sincere yet decisive;
Maintaining a positive attitude;
Keeping a sense of humor;
Being orderly in person and in work.
These are few secrets behind successful professionals .. ! ! !

Its all about Attitude
I started from home with a thought of making a particular post...while i opend my mail box, i saw these cute little stories, which in their own way speak volumes. I guess many of u would have already read this, a re-read is always better :)
Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different color hair than the other family members. One child suggested that he was adopted and a little girl said, "I know all about adoptions because I was adopted."
"What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another child.
"It means," said the girl, "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy."
-------
Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.Jamie was trying out for a part in a school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen. On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. "Guess what Mom," he shouted, and then said those words that willremain a lesson to me: "I've been chosen to clap and cheer."
--------
An Eye Witness Account from New York City, on a cold day in December:
A little boy about 10 years old was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow,why are you looking so earnestly in that window?"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply.
The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with a towel. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?"
As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words:
"Are you God's Wife?"

Amazing aren't they?
