Perseverance in (seeking to gain) the knowledge of the Supreme Spirit, and perception of the gain that comes from knowledge of the truth: This is called knowledge : all that is contrary to this is ignorance.

[enigma]

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do,
But to the best you can do.

I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's important.
It's what they do about it.

I've learned that you can do something in an instant
That will give you a heartache for life.

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it,
There are always two sides.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,
You miss them terribly after they die.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.

I've learned that it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do,
No matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude
Or it controls you.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
The passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done,
When it needs to be done,
Regardless of the consequences.

I've learned that when the light turns green,
You had better look both ways before proceeding.

I've learned that you can love someone
And still not like them very much.

I've learned that there are people who love you dearly,
But just don't know how to show it.

I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing
And still have the best time.

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down
Will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned that I'm getting more and more like my mom,
And I'm kind of happy about it.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow,
Even over the longest distance.

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you
The way you want them to
Doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned that no matter how much I care,
Some people just don't care back.

I've learned that you should never tell a child
His dreams are unlikely or outlandish.
Few things are more humiliating,
And what a tragedy it would be if he believed it.

I've learned that your family won't always be there for you.
It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to
Can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again.
Families aren't biological.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend someone is,
They're going to hurt you every once in awhile
And you must forgive them for that.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken,
The world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned that our background and circumstances
May have influenced who we are,
But we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned that sometimes when my friends fight,
I'm forced to choose sides even when I don't want to.

I've learned that just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.

I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
And only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that we don't have to change friends
If we understand that friends change.

I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life
But whom you have in your life that counts.

I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
And see something totally different.

I've learned that a good friend is better than a therapist.

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.

I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line
Between being nice and not hurting people's feelings
And standing up for what you believe.

Vivekananda's Inspiration for Youth

Vivekananda's Inspiration for Youth

New Delhi, January 12, 2005

* With the first war of Independence having been brutally squashed under the military jackboots and the rifle butts of the British army, and the young independent heart impaled with the bayonet, it was the awakening call by Swami Vivekananda that instilled the Indian youth with an indomitable spirit to free the country from the shackles of slavery.

"Arise, awake and stop not till the desired end is reached. Be bold and fear not. It is only in our scriptures that this adjective is given unto the Lord - Abhih, Abhih. We have to become Abhih, fearless, and our task will be done. Arise, awake, for your country needs this tremendous sacrifice. It is the young men that will do it.

"The young, the energetic, the strong, the well-built, the intellectual - for them is the task," at the time when the revolutionary freedom movement was still at its nascent stage and the youth yearned for freedom, these were the immortal words that invoked in the Indian youth an invincible spirit, strong enough to shake the mighty pillars of the British empire.

**
The fact that the strength of character can be gauged by a man's ethics and high morals still holds true for the youth of today's India.

***

Swami Vivekananda's teachings act as a beacon, guiding the misguided youth of today

"Swami Vivekananda's teachings hold true even to this day. Before Independence, his teachings awakened the youth of India and infused in them a patriotic fervour for selflessly serving the nation. If you follow his ideals in today's time, if not anything else, you will at least retain your good ethics and become an honest and able son of India, " said Nachiketa, a Class XII student of Loyola School, Jamshedpur while here on a holiday.

ECHOES: Great Poets Inspiring Young Writers : Robert Frost

* ECHOES:
Great Poets Inspiring Young Writers : Robert Frost

#Robert Frost was by heart a mean spirited human being, the kind of man that doesn’t seem to write poetry. His poems are beyond the best written. He was born in San Francisco.
# Frost started college at Dartmouth University in 1893, but dropped out, and switched to Harvard, which he attended for two years. ...He started a brief teaching career, where he was inspired to become a poet by some of his students works. Frost ended his teaching career ... he became a farmer. During this time he wrote numerous poems, and a couple of short stories.
# When he was a farmer he started to think seriously about becoming a famous poet. What he didn’t expect was to be on of the most famous poets known today.
# After he would write poems, he would his own work and get different ideas from the poems he wrote. In a way his own work is what inspired him. Robert Frost received almost all the awards that there are for poetry because of his magnificent masterpieces. His poetry exhibits forces of nature, violence and deep emotional needs that reflects his childhood.
# Robert Frost will always be widely known as one of the best poets in history. His way of putting emotion and violence to words is just remarkable.
# He became one of the best known poets in today’s time.
# Published Works :
* Collected Poems(1930)
* A Boys Will(1912)
* North of Boston(1923)
* Mountain Interval(1916)
* A Further Range (1936)
* A Witness Tree (1942)

Happy the Man : Horace

* Happy the Man : Horace

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

- Horace

Can Blind Pets Lead Happy Lives?

* Can Blind Pets Lead Happy Lives?

Fortunately most eye diseases are successfully treated with medication or surgery. However, in some cases vision is irreversibly lost. Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and Glaucoma are two common causes of permanent blindness. Veterinarians are often asked whether a blind dog or cat can lead a happy life.

The answer is an unequivocal "YES!"

Eudaimonia, or Happiness According To Aristotle

Happy Lives and the Highest Good: An Essay on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics

ARISTOTLE INVITES US to conceive of the human good as a special kind of end (telos). In the very first line of the Nicomachean Ethics (NE) he says, "Every craft and every inquiry, and likewise every action and every choice, seem to aim at some good; for which reason people have rightly (kalôs) concluded that the good is that at which all things aim" (1094a1-3, my emphasis).1 He calls this ultimate goal of the successful life eudaimonia, or happiness (1097a28-34). Just as an archer aims at a target, so, Aristotle thinks, the happy person aims at the human good in everything he does (1094a22-24). In effect, he proposes that we think of happiness not as the property of being happy--a certain feeling of contentment or satisfaction--but as the goal or end for the sake of which the happy person acts. Aristotle's investigation into happiness is thus decidedly practical. Not only does he want to arrive at a theory of happiness that will actually help us to live well, his investigation is guided by the thought that happiness is the ultimate object of rational desire and action. If we know what a good must be like in order to serve as the end of all of our rational pursuits, then we can use those criteria to evaluate goods, such as pleasure, wealth, honor, moral virtue, and philosophical contemplation, which people have at one time or other taken to be keys to happiness.

Notice that for Aristotle the happy life needs to focus on a single kind of good. Throughout the Nicomachean Ethics he envisions the happy life as a life of devotion to a single supremely valuable thing (or kind of thing). This is the natural way to read the first book of the Nicomachean Ethics.

[enigma]

Your doubts have no power to take action. All they can do is prevent you from acting. You have far more power than any doubt. The only way doubt can stop you is if you let it.

There is no need to fight against your doubts. You can simply decide to walk away from them. The only thing they offer you is their familiar comfort. When you're willing to let go of that, you'll have no reason to keep your doubts alive.

A small, positive action is enough to begin carrying you past any doubt. Keep in mind that doubt is just a thought, and when your experience proves it wrong, doubt will quickly wither away.

Doubts can stop you cold, but only if you allow them to do so. Take action, and the doubts will be no more.

[enigma]

What kind of life are you attracting to yourself with your thoughts? Is it a life of peace, serenity, positive achievement and fulfillment, or a life of stress, disorder and disappointment?

Imagine that each thought is a powerful magnet, attracting to your life whatever that thought contains. Consider that you have thousands of thoughts each day.

Thoughts of worry and despair bring to you those negative things about which you are so worried. Thoughts of positive possibilities, on the other hand, bring you the opportunity to make those possibilities real.

Do your thoughts of others attract interesting, loving, caring, generous and helpful people into your life? Or do you think the worst of everyone, and then watch as those thoughts are played out in the experience of each day?

Your thoughts continuously send powerful messages to life about what you expect from it. What kind of messages are you sending each day?

In every moment, let your thoughts send a positive message to yourself, to those around you, and to the world at large. You'll attract to yourself the best that life has to offer.

I find solace in this poem by Robert Frost.



The way a crow

shook down on me

the dust of snow

from a hemlock tree

has given my heart

a change of mood

and saved some part

of a day i had rued.

[akhilis2cool]

Thats a good one satish
