Thread: "Life is like that!"

When we watch the happenings around us,
learn new and unending lessons from them,
we just sigh deeply and say,"Life is like that!"

So we will try to say this more often - without sighing deeply - if possible every day, in this new thread

#1.

Fill the cup of your ambition with the water of your efforts.

Then God will change it to the wine of success.

(Bonus)

God helps those who help themselves.

mathematics in real life!

a). (+1) x (+1) =(+1)

b). (+1) x (-1) = (-1).

c). (-1) x (+1) = (-1).

d). (-1) x (-1) = (+1).

These formulas look so dry and dreary! They are so hard to remember!

But presto!

Apply them to real life and nothing will be easier to remember.

Want to know how?

Replace (+1) with 'a friend' and (-1) with 'an enemy'.

So now the modified formulas are:-

a). The friend of a friend is a friend.

b). The enemy of a friend is an enemy.

c). The friend of an enemy is an enemy.

d). The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

What can be juicier than these real life formulas?

Life and grammar.

1. Life is an active voice.

Think of what you can cause to happen

and not what things do to you.

2. Life is in the Indicative mood and not in subjunctive mood.

See things as they are.

3. Life is present tense.

Not yesterday, not tomorrow.

4. Live in the First Person.

Use your own intelligence.

5. Live in Singular number.

Act according to your own conscience and not for the applause of the crowd.

6. Verb Conjugate.....To love.

"Would you rise into the world?
You must work while others amuse themselves.

Are you desirous of a reputation for courage?
You must risk your life.

Would you be strong morally and physically?
You must resist temptations.

All this is paying in advance.
That is prospective finance.

Observe the other side of the picture.
The bad things are paid for after wards.
Churchill.

#5.

"I was angry with my friend,

I told my wrath, my wrath did end;

I was angry with my foe,

I told it not, my wrath did grow."

#6.

Fame is what you have taken,

Character is what you give;

When to this truth you have waken,

Then you begin to live.

# 7.

Lesser your wants, happier you are.

Lesser your expectations, more contented you are.

Lesser your needs, the more gifted you are.

#8.

Life is a grinding stone!

Whether it polishes us to add many sparkling facets or

whether it crumbles us to useless dust depends on

what we are made up of!

Today's special!

To think that i could have earned the ***** long ago,

if I had started this thread instead of cherishing some one's thread...

with all the lovely quotations, observations and sayings...

Well! Life is like that (Sigh!)
