Reminder

Charm is a woman's strength, while strength is a man's charm.

Our job is not to see through one another, but to see one another through.

One of the most difficult thing to give away is kindness. It is usually returned.

When we are hurt, there is no sweeter revenge than to forgive.

Those at war with others are seldom at peace with themselves.

For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

The best mirror is an old friend.

As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

Chances makes our parents. Choices make our friends.Because life is short it's wise to make it broad.

No matter how thin you slice it there are always two sides.

Modern paintings are like women; you will never enjoy them if you try to understand them.

To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it's your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events;Small minds discuss people.

God gives every bird it's food, But he does not throw it into its nest.

He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

The tongue weighs practically nothing, But so few people can hold it.

Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.

Thomas A. BennettBE THANKFUL

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something.
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations.
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge.
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary.
Because it means you've made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the set backs.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.  Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.
Something to take to heart....

Ten Golden rules For LOVE

Never both be angry at the same time.

Never yell at each other unless the house in on fire.

If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate.

If you have to criticize, do it lovingly.

Never bring up mistakes of the past.

Neglect the whole world rather than each other.

Never go away with an argument unsettled.

At least once everyday try to say one kind or complimentary thing toeach other.

When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it and ask for forgiveness.

Be thankful for the troubles of your job.
They provide about half your income.
Because if it were not for the things that go wrong,the difficult people you have to deal with, and the problems and unpleasantness of  your working day someone could be found to handle your job for half of what you are being paid.

It takes intelligence, resourcefulness, patience, tact and courage to meet the troubles of any
job.

That is why you hold you  present job. And it may be the reason you aren't holding down an even better one.

If all of us would start to look for more troubles, and learn to handle them cheerfully and with good judgment, as opportunities rather than irritations, we would find ourselves getting ahead at a surprising rate.

For it is a fact that there are plenty of big/good jobs waiting for men and  women who aren't afraid of the troubles connected with them.

A diamond is a piece of coal that stuck to its job.

Failure isn't so bad if it doesn't attack the heart. Success is  right if it doesn't go to the head.

I make progress by having people around me who are smarter than I am and listening to them.

Four steps to achievement :
     plan purposely,
     prepare prayerfully,
     proceed positively,
     pursue persistently.

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

The secret of success :
It is to be like a duck
smooth and unruffled on the top,
but paddling furiously underneath.

Interesting article on Time

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
What would you do?  Draw out every cent, of course!

Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.  Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance.  It allows no overdraft.  Each day it opens a new account  for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If youfail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow".
You must live in the present on today's deposits.  Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running.
Make the most of today.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed.

To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.

To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.

And remember that time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why it's called the present!

Branches of Trees in Germany

The branches of the trees lining a path distributed in the shape of declaration of the Islamic creed in the Arabic language that affirms the Oneness of Allah and the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH)."
 


It reads
'La ilaha Illahau Muhammad-ur-Rasulullah'
There is no deity but Allah and Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) is the Messenger ofAllah.


 


Many Germans converted upon seeing this miraculous sight. The German government put barriers that part of the farm to prevent people from visiting.
 
 


This discovery is no surprise.
Allah has revealed in the Holy Qur'an:
"Their intention is to extinguish Allah's light (by blowing) with their mouths. But Allah will complete His Light, eventhough the Unbelievers may detest (it).


 


                                     Al Qur'an 61:8
