Inspiring One-Liners

1. If time doesn't wait for you, don't worry! Just remove the damn battery from the clock and Enjoy life!




2. Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. Think about it.



3. Beauty isn't measured by outer appearance and what clothes we wear, but what we are inside. So, try going out naked tomorrow and see the admiration!

4. Don't walk as if you rule the world, walk as if you don't care who rules the world! That's called Attitude! Keep on rocking!

5. Every lady hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!



6. He was a good man. He never smoked, never drank, never had an affair. When he died, the insurance company refused the claim. They said, he who never lived, cannot die!



8. So many options for suicide: Poison, sleeping pills, hanging, jumping from a building, lying on train tracks, but we choose Marriage, slow and sure!



9. Only 20 percent boys have brains, rest have girlfriends!



10. All desirable things in life are either illegal, banned, expensive or married to someone else!



11. Drinking is our biggest enemy- Jawaharlal Nehru

We should learn to love our enemies- Mahatma Gandhi

Now, whom to follow and which one to choose?



12. 10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving. Which means - it a logical statement that 90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!!

Excellent story of Appreciation

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial


position in a big company.



He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made

the last decision.



The director discovered from the CV, that the youth's academic result is

excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate

research, never has a year he did not score.



The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarship in school?" and the

youth answered "none".



The director asked, " Is it your father pay for your school fees?" the

youth answered, my father passed away when I was one year old, it is my

mother who paid for my school fees.



The director asked, " Where did your mother worked?" the youth answered, my

mother worked as cloth cleaner.



The director requested the youth to show his hand, the youth showed a pair

of hand that is smooth and perfect to the director.



The director asked, " Did you ever help your mother washed the cloth

before?"



The youth answered, never, my mother always wanted me to study and read

more books, furthermore, my mother can wash cloths faster than me.



The director said, I had a request, when you go back today, go and help to

clean your mother's hand, and then see me tomorrow morning.



The youth felt that its chance of landing the job is high, when he went

back, he happily wanted to clean his mother's hand, his mother feel

strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her hand to the kid.



The youth cleaned his mother's hand slowly, his tear drop down as he did

that. It is first time he found his mother's hand is so wrinkled, and

there are so many bruises in her hand. Some bruises incites pains so strong

that shiver her mother's body when cleaned with water.



This is the first time the youth realized and experienced that it is this

pair of hand that washed the cloth everyday to earn him the school fees,

the bruises in the mother's hand is the price that the mother paid for his

graduation and academic excellence and probably his future.



After finishing the cleaning of his mother hand, the youth quietly cleaned

all remaining clothes for his mother.



That night, mother and sons talked for a very long time.



Next morning, the youth went to the director's office



The director noticed the tear in the youth's eye, asked: " Can you tell me

what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"



The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished

cleaning all the remaining clothes'



The director asked, " please tell me your feelings."



The youth said,

No. 1, I knew what is appreciation, without my mother,

I would not be, what I am today.

No. 2, I knew how to work together with my mother, then only

I can realize how difficult and tough to get something done.

No. 3, I knew the importance and value of family relationship.



The director said, " This is what I am asking, I want to recruit a person

that can appreciate the help of other, a person that knew the suffering of

others to get things done, and a person that would not put money as his

only goal in life to be my manager. You are hired.



Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of

his subordinates, every employees worked diligently and in a team, the

company's result improved tremendously.



A child who has been protected and habitually given whatever he did, he

developed "entitlement mentality" and always put himself first. He is

ignorance of his parent's effort.



When he started work, he assumed every people must listen to him, and when

he became a manager, he would never know how suffering his employee and

always blame others.



For this kind of people, he can have good result, may be successful for a

while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement, he will grumble

and full of hatred and fight for more.



If we are this kind of protective parent, did we love the kid or destroy

the kid?



You can let your kid lived in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano,

watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them

experienced it.



After a meal, let them washed their plate and bowl together with their

brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a

maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way.



You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parent are, one day

their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person.



The most important thing is your kid learn how to appreciate the effort and

experience the difficulty and learn the ability to work with others to get

things done.



You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can Change your

direction anytime.
