You Are Wonderful . . .

The following story captured my heart. It happened years ago in a concert
A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales were
booming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every
ticket sold.
The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager
took the stage and said, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic
support. I am afraid that due to illness, the man whom you've all come to hear will
not be performing tonight. However, we have found a suitable substitute we hope
will provide you with comparable entertainment. The crowd groaned in disappointment
and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-in's name. The environment turned
from excitement to frustration.
The stand-in performer gave the performance everything he had. When he had finished,
there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence. No one applauded. Suddenly, from the
balcony, a little boy stood up and shouted, Daddy, I think you are wonderful! The crowd
broke into thunderous applause.
We all need people in our Lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say, I think
you are wonderful.
And at times others are expecting this from you. Are you telling them how wonderful you
are . . .

Bright Future is Forgotten Past

In the search of brightest future,
probably i was misled and lost;
only then i could realise that,
it always based on forgotten past.
The past which had many grey shades,
which dominated all your good times;
that always left you low on confidence,
and made you forget the sweet chimes.
The past which forced you to cry,
forced to smile with tears in eyes;
never let you sit with peace of mind,
made you to do wrong things, tell lies.
The past which kept you away,
from your family and loved ones;
all it had given you is lonliness,
made you happy not even once.
My dear, you cant go well in life,
until you let go off past failures;
then you will find your bright future,
believe me there are no other cures . . .

Wow.....Magic word

Wow.....Magic word works wonder just try


Last spring I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom
and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string
that was attached to a helium balloon.
All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl.
I braced myself for some screaming and crying.
But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she
gleefully shouted out, "Wow!"
I didn't realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me
something.
Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an
unexpected problem. I felt like responding with "Oh no, what should we do?"
But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying, "Wow, that's
interesting! How can I help you?"
One thing's for sure - life's always going to keep us off balance with its
unexpected problems. That's a given. What's not preordained is our response.
We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated.
No matter what the situation, a fascinated "Wow!" will always beat a
frustrated "Oh, no."
So the next time you experience one of life's unexpected gusts, remember
that little girl and make it a "Wow!" experience. The "Wow!" response always
works . . .
