So Blessed

Posted by Iftikhar Ajmal Bhopal on June 27, 2006

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,

you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.  

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head & a place to sleep,

you are richer than 75% of this world.

Married Amusement

Posted by Iftikhar Ajmal Bhopal on June 23, 2006

Some sentences picked from here and there. 

A house wife ran after the garbage truck, yelling, “Am I too late for the garbage?”     “No,” they said, “jump in!”

Every man should get married some time; after all, happiness is not the only thing in life!!!

Don’t marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper.

I don’t worry about terrorism. I was married for three years.

The last fight was my fault. My wife asked, “What’s on the TV?”  I said, “Dust!”

Just think, if it weren’t for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.

Is 4 = 60 ?

Posted by Iftikhar Ajmal Bhopal on June 21, 2006

How a son/daughter thinks of his/her father at different ages:

At 4 years: My father is great.

At 6 Years: My father knows everybody.

At 10: My father is good but is short tempered

At 12: My father was very nice to me when I was young.

At 14: My father is getting fastidious.

At 16: My father is not in line with the current times.

At 18: My father is becoming increasingly cranky.

At 20: Oh! Its becoming difficult to tolerate father. Wonder how Mother puts up with him.

At 25: Father is objecting to everything.

At 30: It's becoming difficult to manage my son. I was so scared of my father when I was young.

At 40: My father brought me up with so much discipline. Even I should do the same.

At 45: I am baffled as to how my father brought us up.

At 50: My father faced so many hardships to bring us up. I am unable to manage a single son.

At 55: My father was so far sighted and planned so many things for us. He is one of his kind and unique.

At 60: My father is great.

Thus, it took 56 years to complete the cycle and come back to the 1st stage. Realise the true value of your parents before it is too late.

Which Path ?

Posted by Iftikhar Ajmal Bhopal on June 11, 2006

It is better: 

Not to go where the path may lead but make a path 

Yes, go where there is no path and leave a trail

The Change I Seek ?

Posted by Iftikhar Ajmal Bhopal on June 3, 2006

In the Chinese folklore, there is a story of an ambitious young man who, on his twentieth birthday, became consumed with the desire to change the world. He spent the next 20 years trying to do that but couldn’t.  

At age 40, he settled for trying to change China.

He spent the next 20 years trying to do that but couldn’t.  

At age 60, he settled for trying to change his village.

For the next 20 years he strived to do that but failed.  

At age 80, he decided to focus on changing his family.

He spent the next 20 years trying to do that but couldn’t.  

At age 100, he decided to focus on changing himself. But the next day, he died.  

The lesson  

If you want to change the world, you better start with yourself.  

So the question to ask ourselves is:  

In what ways can I become the change I seek to see happening around me?
