GREAT THOUGHTS-1

I CAN DO EVERYTHING

When anyone tells me I can’t do anything,

I’m just not listening any more.

Florence Griffith Joyner

VACATION

Everyone loves to go on vacation!

People visit different places and do different things when on a vacation.
People on a holiday, travel to distant parts of the world to see great buildings or
other works of art,

to learn new languages,
to experience new cultures,
to participate in or watch sports,
to taste new cuisines and for many more different reasons.

Historical or heritage tourism is a branch of tourism
oriented towards the cultural heritage of the location where tourism is occurring.

Culture and history has always been a major object of travel. Cultural heritage includes buildings and historic places, monuments, artifacts etc., that are considered worthy of preservation for the future.


These include objects significant to archaeology, architecture, science or technology of a specific culture.


Smaller objects such as artworks and other cultural masterpieces are collected in museums and art galleries. The tourists interested in historical travel seek adventure, culture, history, archaeology and interaction with local people. This type of tourism involves visiting historical sites, buildings, museums etc.


The overall purpose is to gain an appreciation of the past.


Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their
cultural facilities such as museums and theatres. It can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities (i.e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle. Many historic places have shows where the historical events have been dramatized to make them more entertaining. Every place in the world has a history but some places are more known for their historical past like Europe, Chine, India etc.

These places have monuments and artifacts dating back to hundreds of centuries and they dra w a huge number of tourists. Vacation renew our energies and energize us for more work. They create our interest in real life working.

BEFOOLING

You can fool

all the people some of the time,

and some of the people all the time,

but

you can’t fool

all the people all the time.

LAW OF ATTRACTION

Judge not

and you shall not be judged.

Condemn not,

and you shall not be condemned.

Forgive and you shall be forgiven.

TOP OF SUCCESS

It is just as hard

to stay at the top

as it is to get there.

EGO

Egotism should be shed BY everybody

because otherwise one cannot get enlightenment.

“The sun can give heat and light

to the whole world

but it cannot do so

when the clouds shut out his rays.

Similarly, as long as

egotism veils the heart,

God cannot shine upon it.”

SAVING

A man can be valued

through his savings.

SAVING

A man can be valued

through his savings.

LABOUR

Everyone should labour hard,

the only exception being the disable.

“Millionaires who ate without work were parasites.

Even they should eat by the sweat of their brow

or should go without food.

The only permissible exception was

the disabled for whom society provided.”

HALF HAPPINESS

What is the difference

between

happiness and half happiness

“ A few more smiles and silence,

sympathy,

a few more tender words

of little more restraint on temper.”

UNCONTROLLABLE MIND

“The human mind is like a package of mustard seeds.

As it is very difficult to gather the seeds

that escape out of a torn package,

so when the human mind runs into

diverse directions and is occupied

with many worldly things,

it is not very easy

to collect and concentrate on it.”

PATIENCE GIVES SUCCESS

One who adopts patience

will never be deprived of success,

though success may take

a long time to reach him.

BIG MISTAKE

KILLING THE FRIENDSHIP

To let friendship die away

by negligence and

silence is certainly not wise.

It is voluntarily to throw away

one of the greatest comforts

of this weary pilgrimage.

NEW YEAR

In the new year,

may your right hand

always be stretched out

in friendship,

but never in want.

CHILD AND YOU

Nothing in the world attracts man,

as much as the love of a child.

It’s not imposing;

it doesn’t arouse fear.

It’s tender and sweet

and has a spontaneous charm

and a trusting liking for everyone.

BUSY WITHOUT WORK

A bee is never busy as it seems;

It’s just that

It can’t buzz any slower.

HEAVEN AND YOU

As one is, so he sees.

If you show love to others,

you get it back in a greater measure even.

“By loving whatever is lovable in those around us,

love will flow back from them to us

and life will become a pleasure instead of pain.

And earth will become heaven.

CRIME

Crime is a kind of disease

and

should be treated as such.

VARIETY

There can be nothing more boring in life than uniformity.

Variety is the spice of life it is said.

"Tolerance of diversity is imperative,

because without it,

life would lose its savour.

Progress in the arts, in the sciences from diversity

epends upon tolerance of individual

deviations from conventional ways and attitudes.”

World is made up of different cultures and religions.

Their different approaches to life give more spice to life.

Let's enjoy this diversity by believing, " all belongs to one God."

We shall be more happy.

SILENCE

Better to remain silent and be thought “ a fool”

than to speak out and remove all doubt.

ATTACHMENT

Do not be very much attached to worldly possessions

because they are temporary in nature, besides not belonging to you.

“Seemingly own worldly things; but have an attachment to them.

As the maid-servant can with ease relinquish here

THE assumed ownership of master’s property,

Be prepared for separation from earthly possessions.”

BRAVE HEARTED

LION OR SHEEP

It’s better to be a lion for a day

than a sheep all your life.

FAULT FINDING

See only the good in everybody,

shun the faultfinding habit.

Peep into your own heart,

it may be full of faults.FAULT FINDING

IDEAL LIFE

The ideal life to lead

is when no one deceives another,

no one out of danger or resentment

wishes to harm another.

GOD

The sun is many times bigger than the earth,

but distance makes it appear like a small disc.

Likewise, “The lord is infinitely great,

but being too far away from HIM,

we are incapable of comprehending his real greatness.”

VALUE OF TIME

Realize the value of time;

waste it not with wrong pursuits.

Whatever time is left with you,

spend it wisely in noble deeds.

MANNERS

Manners are like the zero in arithmetic;

they may not be much in themselves,

but they are capable of adding a great deal

to the value of everything else.

GRATEFUL

If you save a starving dog

and make him prosperous,

he will not bite you.

That is the principal difference

between

a dog and man.

FIRST DUTY

The first duty of man

is that of subduing fear.

“We must get rid of Fear;

we cannot act at all till then.

A man’s acts are slavish,

not true but suspicious.

His very thoughts are false,

he thinks too as a slave and coward,

till he has got fear under his feet.

SELF-WORTH

If you want

an accounting of your worth,

count your friends.

MOULD OF MIND

“Clay allows itself to be molded into any forms.

But baked clay is of no use for this purpose.

Mind burnt by profane desires

is incapable of taking divine moulds."

DISTURBED MIND

2 THINGS

There are two things

to aim in life;

first to get what you want;

second to enjoy it.

Only wisest of mankind

achieve the second.

COMMUNICATION

The less you talk,

the more you’re listened to.

ADVERSITY

In prosperity,

our friends know us;

in adversity,

we know our friends.

FOOLISHNESS

of making little mistakes.

The burn

caused by fire

heals in the course of time;

but the wound

burned in by tongue

does not heal.

WISDOM

Never insult an alligator,

until

you have crossed the river.

CHARACTER

Books and friends

mould your character

and so you have to be very careful

and judicious in choosing them.

Be as careful of the books you read

as of the company you keep;

for your HABITS and CHARACTER

will be as much influenced

by the former as by the latter.

GREAT TEACHER

Experience is greater teacher
and not just books,
nor even the tutor.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided,
and that is the lamp of experience.
I know of no way of judging of the future
but by the past.”

DIET

We live on 1/3rd

of what we eat,

and

the doctors live

on the rest.

HEART

for you have got to be silenced eternally

at one time or the other.”

JOURNEY OF LIFE

If all difficulties

were known

at the outset of a long journey,

none of us would

ever start out at all.

DEMOCRARY

Where

the press is free

and

every man able to read,

all is safe.

GREAT TRAGEDIES

The great tragedies of history occur

not when right conforms wrong

but when

two rights confront each other.

SPIRITUALITY

To be true

to one’s own self

is the first condition

for spiritual evolution.

KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON

A truly knowledgeable person

is he who knows and

yet lives as though he knows not.

DIVINE

A lion eats meat and yet it mates only once in 12 years.

But a sparrow eats grain and it indulges in sex-life day and night.

Such is the difference between divine incarnation and ordinary human being.

POSSESSIONS

Over possession of material things

fosters care and anxiety.

The man becomes earth-bound

beyond redemption.

“Knowledge, on the other hand, develops into wisdom.

It embellishes the personality,

aids one to discern the self and the non-self

and leads man into enlightenment and liberation. “

SUCCESS

The ladder of success

is never

crowded at the top.

CAGE

A cage is a cage,

even if its bars are of gold.

TIME

Time is above price,

the moment that is spent,

cannot come back

even if a kingdom is offered

for its return.

to the service of God i

s not to make a show of it.

You can’t build a reputation

on what you are going to do.

on the door to wisdom

for a master owns only your person,

a creditor owns your dignity.

love, humility, service and patience,

excels heavenly nymphs.

HUMILITY

The first test of the truly great man is his humility.

TODAY

The best preparation for tomorrow

is to do today’s work superbly well.

SPEECH

Speech is silver

but silence is Gold

TRAVELLING

Healthy eating at a restaurant:
· Choose an omelet filled with vegetables and order a side of whole-wheat toast instead of a stack of pancakes and syrup.
· A bowl of oatmeal with fresh fruit is very filling and good for you.
· If you want something sweet, choose a bran muffin, which is a good source of fiber. Or opt for whole-grain toast with just a little jam or jelly. If veg. eat healthy veg foods. Juices energise.

MIND

A strong mind and body will face problems squarely and get over them.
It is only the weakling that suffers.

“A weakling totters while carrying a small load to a short distance.

But a strong man with a heavy load on his head stands by
And sees a wrestling match unmindful of the burden on his head.”

DRAMA

A drama is a mirror of life.

LIFE

A boat may be floating on water,
But no water should be allowed to get into it.

Man may live in the world
But no worldly desire
Ought to take possession of him.

WEALTH

Wealth can never command respect.

“Never respect men merely for riches,
But rather for their philanthropy.

We do not value the sun for its height
But for its use.”

LIFE

LIFE can be defined as made of three windows

named past, present and future.
There is a curtain on the window called “PAST”.

Window of the future is “LOCKED” yet to be opened.

More we pull the curtain of the window “PAST”, less will be the movement for opening the LOCK.

The window that belongs to the “Present” may be named "KEY OF THE LOCK".

Use the KEY OF THE LOCK to open the window of “FUTURE” that is "LOCKED".

VISION

Your only insurance against tomorrow

is

what you do today.

MORAL LIFE

Moral life is the backbone of the spiritual life.

There cannot be any spiritual life without a moral life.

TIME

Time is a great healer.

All worries and pains will disappear

With the passage of time.

TRUTH

Truth

– relative OR absolute –

is more important than the fact

FAVOUR

Do good to win one and all
And forget it.

It anyone does you good,
Never forget it.

FAILURE

No one can get through life
Without failures and mistakes.

Admit your mistake, regret it and
Learn from it.

FAILURE

No one can get through life
Without failures and mistakes.
Admit your mistake, regret it and
Learn from it.

WORRY

When one remembers the past things,
Or worries about the future;

It results in sorrow.

If both of these could be forgotten,

Then there will be total happiness

TIME MANAGEMENT

Have a time and place for everything

and do everything in its time and place

and you will not only accomplish more,

but have far more leisure

than those who are always hurrying,

as if vainly attempting to overtake time that had been lost.

IMPORTANCE

It is nice to be important.

But it is more important to be nice.

PATIENCE

In Mahabharata, when Pandavas were thirsty and wanted to drink water from the pond, Daksha though invisible pronounced, “You cannot drink water unless you answer my five questions.”

Four of the Pandavas- Arjun, Bhim, Nakul, Sehdev – did not WAIT and drank the water immediately. Result: all fell unconscious on the bank of the pond.

Yudhistra, the eldest Pandava came and waited. He listened to Daksha.
Politely Yudhistra agreed to answer the questions of Daksha. One of the questions of Daksha was “What is greater than Dharma (religious conduct).?” “ The patience i.e. mental wait for answers to every problem.” Daksha was happy to hear this. He granted the life back to all his younger brothers 4 pandvas. The unconscious pandvas rose from unconsciousness. Patience paid the reward to the eldest brother Yudhistra.

Have patience, like a burning candle which consumes itself from top to bottom, without any murmur.

POVERTY

Poverty of course is not a disgrace,

But it is a damn annoying.

WISEMAN

A wise man changes his mind sometimes;
A fool never.
