Inspiration from MORE

Sorry there hasnt been any post recently. I've been kinda busy, but i'll be free by May.
For advise, counseling, suggestion on life matter, inbox me and we'll decided the next decision together.
Have a blessed night.

When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.
I was convinced that “I” was right and “he” was wrong – and he was just as convinced that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson.
She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. “White,” he answered.
I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, “White.”
It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side it was black.
Sometimes we need to look at the problem from the other person’s view in order to truly understand.

Wonderful year to us all.

WHO IS BETTER?
Can u judge who is the better person out of these 3 ?
Mr A - He had friendship with bad politicians, consults astrologers, two wives, chain smoker, drinks eight to 10 times a day.
Mr B - He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps till noon, used o***m in college & drinks whiskey every evening.
Mr C - He is a decorated war hero,a vegetarian, doesn't smoke , doesn't drink and never cheated on his wife.
You would say Mr.C
right?
But..
Mr. A was Franklin Roosevelt! ( 32nd President of the USA)
Mr. B was Winston Churchill!! (Former British Prime Minister)
Mr C Was ADOLF HI**ER!!!
Strange but true..
Its risky to judge anyone by his habits !
Character is a complex phenomenon.
So every person in ur life is important ,don't judge them ,accept them.
Three beautiful thoughts
1. None can destroy iron, but its own rust can!
Likewise, none can destroy a person, but his own mindset can.
2. Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an E.C.G. means we are not alive.
3. The same Boiling Water that hardens the egg, Will Soften the Potato!
It depends upon Individual's reaction To stressful circumstances!
Enjoy the journey called life..

Failures or limitations of the past have no control over the greatness in you. To him that believes, all things are possible.
Don't wait for everybody to believe in your ability and dreams.
All things are possible unto him that believe!

S*x is called love-making because it involves the
body, soul and spirit. Do you want your soul and
spirit to be tied to somebody who is not married
to you? Can you stand the consequences, Mr.
Young Man? Hear the Bible:
"O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows,
DO NOT SPEND YOUR STRENGTH ON WOMEN,
YOUR VIGOUR ON THOSE WHO DESTROY
KINGS." (Prov. 31:2)
S*x before marriage can destroy you, even your
Christian life. The funny thing is some
Brothers in Christ even worry the
Sisters in Christ for s*x. So God says, "My
son...son of my vow". You are a son of God so
don't waste your energy on women. You should
rather be teaching her chastity and help her serve
God well.
Seeking love from s*x is like looking for Jesus in
an empty tomb.(Word) Take it easy. When you marry
you will be fed up with s*x. Your wife will be
chasing you with it and you will be running away,
saying, "Oh I'm tired, why?". Take time okay, Wait patiently. It will soon be laid at
your doorstep and you will notice how stupid it is
to chase s*x when you are not married.
If you want a woman to prove her love to you,
allow her some space to be herself. Do not force
your will on her or control her. Her love, by
nature, will push her to do things that will signal
to you that you are her top priority. She will be
ready to marry you, than just have fun with you.
She will not be interested in you showering things
on her but rather, she would want both of you to
set your life and future right. She will support
your dreams and visions and help you build up
your Christian life. In fact, she will exhibit the
spirit of humility and you will also discover she is
a precious jewel in a glass jar, reserved for you
alone.
So from today, even if she herself brings s*x, tell
her..."Do not awaken love until it is time." And if
you guys love each other, plan about marrying
and submit your plans to God. He will bless it and
put you two together as one.. Ladies...you should also
read before sending to him
I wish u read all to the last.....our ladies are dying in the hands of some unmerciful men.
S*x has turned many ladies into a mystery of
thinking what they feel for a particular guy is true love.
You meet a guy, he takes you out; He had a
great s*x with you, it was like heaven to you. He makes you feel happy because you enjoyed him so much
you start assuming both of you are meant to
be together as husband & wife.
You start dreaming of your future with him
while he's just having fun. Your feelings for him has blindfolded you from seeing things from the reality point
of view. You find yourself infatuated with him just because you don't want to feel used & dumped.
Sometimes you need to sit down & ask yourself; what do i really love about this guy?
Do I see Christ in him? Is he a guy I can boldly take to my pastor? Can I introduce him as my husband to people who
are responsible? You know the guy is not
capable of being a good husband & father; yet you want to kill yourself because of him. But sometimes you need
to differentiate between what you just feel and what you really deserve. (Deep)
Don't start dreaming of your future with a guy who is just catching his fun. Don't attach a permanent feeling to a temporal person. Don't open up your heart to
a guy who doesn't open his bible.

At age 5 his Father died.
At age 16 he quit school.
At age 17 he had already lost four jobs.
At age 18 he got married.
Between ages 18 and 22, he was a railroad conductor and failed.
He joined the army and washed out there.
He applied for law school he was rejected.
He became an insurance sales man and failed again.
At age 19 he became a father.
At age 20 his wife left him and took their baby daughter.
He became a cook and dishwasher in a small cafe.
He failed in an attempt to kidnap his own daughter, and eventually he convinced his wife to return home.
At age 65 he retired.
On the 1st day of retirement he received a cheque from the Government for $105.
He felt that the Government was saying that he couldn’t provide for himself.
He decided to commit su***de, it wasn’t worth living anymore; he had failed so much.
He sat under a tree writing his will, but instead, he wrote what he would have accomplished with his life. He realised there was much more that he hadn’t done. There was one thing he could do better than anyone he knew. And that was how to cook.
So he borrowed $87 against his cheque and bought and fried up some chicken using his recipe, and went door to door to sell them to his neighbors in Kentucky.
Remember at age 65 he was ready to commit su***de.
But at age 88 Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Empire was a billionaire.
Moral of the story: Attitude. It's never too late to start all over.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR ATTITUDE. NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS.
You have what it takes to be successful. Go for it and make a difference....

TRUTH WE KNOW BUT FORGET

As I watched the National Geographic Channel, I came to learn of the Fish called The Electric Eel for the first time, actual name is Electrophorus electricus. The fish is commonly found in the Amazon and generally in Fresh Waters. In the narration of the documentary, Electric Eels are mostly blind although they are not born blind. To me they are such beautiful creatures and I was wondering how come they are blind? I then read about them and came to understand that these animals have three pairs of abdominal organs that produce electricity as a form of defensive mechanism against predators. Whenever the animal is under attack, it activates an electric field of up to 860 Volts (that is nearly 4 times the 220V electricity supplied to our homes) to electrocute its attacker. The Eel also requires rising to the surface of the water every 10 minutes in order to take in Oxygen before going back under the water. Due to this routine, the fish has developed a mindset that it is vulnerable to attack due to constant coming up to breathe and hence it is always on a ‘suspicion mission’ – It is always and constantly electrocuting its environment even when it is not under attack. The sad effect is that in the course of continuous electrocuting of its environment its eyes are also electrocuted and hence its blindness! But then as I watched this animal swimming around blind and only using its sense of feel and ears, and been unable to see, it goes into more suspicion and every movement it feels in the waters, it releases further electric shock worsening his plight – The animal thus goes into a cyclic paranoia and self infliction of pain causing it to be more blind irreversibly.
You see such is the situation in some people’s life. They suspect everybody and everything! They are always on a mindset of ‘someone is doing me’, ‘something evil is coming to happen to me’, ‘someone is planning to harm me’, etc. By having this kind of mental picture such people release shock waves that electrocutes whoever comes near them. Friends who mean well, are branded enemies, parents are considered evil, siblings are suspected of hatching evil plots, work colleagues are branded enemies, Etc. When people go into such self-destruct mode, all they think about is themselves and not the feelings of others. The desire to protect ones self end up in hurting others. Let us all strive to cultivate a positive attitude of love. let brotherly love continue. In other words, treat each other in a brotherly manner. Think and reflect about these things.

ANOTHER SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION.
A Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him. To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed the map of the world. He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.
He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map……When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh…. Dad, there is a man’s face on the other side of the paper….. I made the face perfect to get the map right." She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
There is always the other side to whatever you experience in this world. Whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the other side…. You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem.
May God grant you the grace to face challenges positively
