Golden Rules for Living

If you open it
close it.
If you turn it on
turn it off.
If you unlock it,
lock it up.
If you break it,
admit it.
If you can't fix it,
call someone who can.
If you borrow it,
return it.
If you value it,
take care of it.
If you make a mess,
clean it up.
If you move it,
put it back.
If it belongs to someone else
and you want to use it,
get permission.
If you don't know how to operate it,
leave it alone.
If it's none of your business,
don't ask questions.
If ain't broke, don't fix it.
If it will brighten someone's day,
say it.
If it will tarnish someone's reputation,
keep it to yourself.
If they give you something
even if you don't like it,
still say thank you.
If you fall,
get up.
If you fail,
try again.

Quotations & Poems 101 - Pain in Life

There are times in every life
when we feel hurt or alone
but i believe that those times
when we feel lost
and all around us seems
to be fallng apart
are really bridges of growth

We struggle and try to recapture
the security of what was
but almost in spite of ourselves
we emerge on the other side
with a new understanding
a new awareness, a new strength

Its almost as though
we must go through pain
and the struggle
in order to grow and reach
new hights

Life is a Puzzle to many people
because they cannot find the missing piece.
Find that missing piece, pu ti in place
and we discover that Life is not a Puzzle
but a Pattern - well balanced and well designed.

is impossible to explain life - is God.
