 Why I want to be Alone?

I want to be alone

Don’t know why!

May be because

There is no cause;

I’ve nothing to share with the others;

I've no capability

To influence one;

Have no ability

To make someone happy;

Don’t have enough courage

To face the truth;

Too much insensitive

To get ones faith;

Too much coward

To confess my love;

Too short

To touch the stars above.

Or may be

I want to be alone-

Because I am alone!

Today was yesterday's tomorrow
Today will be tomorrow's yesterday
Yesterday's today was yesterday
Tomorrow's today is tomorrow
Yesterday's day after tomorrow is tomorrow
Tomorrow's day before yesterday was yesterday
The day before yesterday's tomorrow was yesterday
The day after tomorrow's yesterday is tomorrow
The day before yesterday's day after tomorrow
And the day after tomorrow's day before yesterday
Are both today
The day after tomorrow's tomorrow
And the day before yesterday's yesterday
Are both too far away
Today's turn into yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes
I think my tomorrow is today
Or maybe it was yesterday
Damn
I'm not sure which is which, anyway
So this is all I have left to say
Don't worry about the future
Don't turn your mind to the past
Just live this moment while it lasts
For far too soon it will also pass
And don't forget
Today's today is today
Where does all the time go?

Once A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see; asked the students,
"How much do you think this glass weighs?'50gms!'?...'100gms!
....'125gms' ....
The students answered, " I really don't know unless I weigh it."
The professor said, 'Now, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'
'Nothing' the students said.
"OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" the professor asked.
"Your arm would begin to ache" said one of the students.
"You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"
"Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis;have to go to hospital for sure! ventured another student", all the
students laughed.
"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" Asked the professor.
"No" was the reply of all the students
"Then what caused the arm to ache; the muscle to stress?" After a pause the professor asked "Before my arm ache What should I do?"
The students were puzzled.
"Put the glass down!" said one of the students.
"Exactly!" said the professor, "Life's problems are exactly like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK. Think of them for a long time; they begin to ache. Hold it even longer; they begin to paralyze you.
You will not be able to do anything."
It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh; strong; can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!
Remember friends... to
PUT THE GLASS DOWN EVERYDAY!

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job with a timber merchant, and he got it.
The salary was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work.
The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees
"Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!"
Very motivated by the boss' words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but could bring 15 trees only.
The third day he tried even harder, but could bring 10 trees only. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.
"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked.
"Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees..."


:Moral of the story:
Working hard is not enough; one has to keep on sharpening one's skills.

Stuart and Steve were twin brothers. Stuart loved to play basketball. But Steve loved to read books.
Then one day Stuart was playing basketball and he fell and broke his leg. When they took him to the hospital the doctor said he wouldn't be able to play for six months. He was very unhappy about that. Steve went to visit him and brought him books on Basketball. At first Stuart wasn't going to read them. Then he began to look at them and saw that there were ways he could play better basketball. So Stuart was glad that Steve gave him the books. He began to think that books weren't that bad.
When Stuart's leg started getting better, Steve would help him by going for walks with him. First he had to use crutches then a cane. But, they would walk and then sit and read their books.
Finally, Stuart's doctor said he could start playing some ball. They started tossing the ball back and forth. Then Stuart showed Steve how to toss for baskets. Steve found that he enjoyed it.
Then one day. Stuart was about ready to start playing basketball. Steve went to the games. He really enjoyed it. Stuart and Steve would practice basketball and also read books together.
So you can see, when something sad happens. Something good also may happen. Steve showed Stuart about books and Stuart showed Steve about basketball. So you also try; showing your brother or sister or friends something that you like to do and they can show you something that they like to do, you can explore new things.

Love is like magic, And it always will be.
For love still remains, Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways, That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life, That love cannot change!!
Love can transform, The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor,And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish, Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart, And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer, That everyone seeks...
Love is the language, That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought, It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic, Is life's sweet mystery!!

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"
"Sure," said the farmer.
And with that he let out a whistle,"Here,Dolly!" he called.
out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this One noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up....
"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need Someone who understands."
The world is full of people who need someone who understands.
