Life - email from Piyusha Atapattu

 This is so beautiful, I could not keep it for myself...

Life
Stay away from Anger.
It hurts only You and nobody else.
If you are right, then there is no need to get angry,
and if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.

Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence and
Patience withGOD is faith.

Never think hard about the past, it brings tears.
Don't think more about the future, it brings fear.
Live this moment with a Smile, it brings cheer.
Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
every problem comes to make us or break us,
The choice is ours whether we become victims or victorious.

Search for a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.

Do you know why God created gaps between fingers?
So that someone who is special to you comes
and fills those gaps by holding your hand forever.
Never forget this advice!

Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong,
Success keeps You Glowing,
and But OnlyGod keeps You Going!

When I'm sixty four - Beetles; Click on each link below:-

 The song is sung by a young man to his lover, and is about his plans of growing old together with her. Although the theme is ageing, it was one of the first songs McCartney wrote, when he was 16.^[3] Played by the Beatles in the early days as a song they could play when the amplifiers broke down or the electricity went off.^[5][6] Both George Martin and Mark Lewisohn speculated that McCartney may have thought of the song when recording began for Sgt. Pepper in December 1966 because his father turned 64 earlier that year.[5]

Some people are getting the facts mixed up. At 15 McCartney just wrote the basic tune in which he copied his father's style, and the lyrics were just thrown and weren't that great, Paul was only 15. It wasn't until Paul was 25 that the Beatles, including George Martin, rewrote and improved the lyrics for a Beatles album. It's an odd song of getting old satire, with the wife leaving him and him asking her if she'll send him a postcard and drop him a line, and him wanting her to fill in a form to tell him if she'll share a cottage with him, like they've grown very distant, and this being written during a time of the hippie generation of peace and love. The lyrics must have been scoffing at the older generation and how they treated each other, the way my parents were around that time.

email from Leslie

We never get what we want, We never want what we get, We never have what we like, We never like what we have. And still we live & love. That's life... The best kind of friend, Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, Never say a word, And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know What we've got until it's gone, But it's also true that we don't know What we've been missing until it arrives.. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; Just wait for it to grow in their heart, But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, And a day to love someone, But it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, Because it takes only a smile to Make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile! May you have Enough happiness to make you sweet, Enough trials to make you strong, Enough sorrow to keep you human, And enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, It probably hurts the other person, too. The happiest of people Don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for Those who cry, Those who hurt, Those who have searched, And those who have tried, For only they can appreciate the importance of people Who have touched their lives. When you were born, you were crying And everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, You're the one who is smiling And everyone around you is crying. Please send this message To those people who mean something to you, To those who have touched your life in one way or another, To those who make you smile when you really need it, To those that make you see the brighter side of things When you are really down, To those who you want to know That you appreciate their friendship. And if you don't, don't worry, Nothing bad will happen to you, You will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's life with this message

email from Piyusha Atapattu The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" Comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.  1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.  2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.  3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.  4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.  5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.  6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners. How did you do?  The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But, the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.  Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:  1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.  2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.  3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.  4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.  5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.    Easier?  The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with The most credentials, The most money, Or The most awards.  Share this with those who have made a difference in your life.  They are the ones who care.                      (Charles Schultz)
