Lessons learnt by a GREAT ACHIEVER

0 comments
There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the
great Greek King.

Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way,
he fell ill and it took him to his death bed.
With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests,
his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of
no consequence.

He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last
adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not
permit him to reach his distant homeland.

So, The mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to
breathe his last. He called his generals and said,
"I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them
out without fail. With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed
to abide by their king's last wishes.

" My first desire is that," said Alexander,

" My physicians alone must carry my coffin." After a pause, he continued.

" Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the
path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and
precious stones which I have collected in my treasury ".

The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and
continued.

" My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my
coffin ."

The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes.

But no one dare bring the question to their lips. Alexander's favorite
general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart.

" O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us
why do you make such strange wishes?"

At this Alexander took a deep breath and said: " I would like the world to
know of the three lessons I have just learnt.

I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that
no doctor can really cure any body .

They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death.

So let not people take life for granted .

The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the
graveyard is to tell

People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my
life earning riches but cannot take anything with me.

Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth .

And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin,

I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty
handed I go out of this world ."

With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him
and breathed his last.

The Power of Three Little Words

0 comments
Some of the most significant messages people deliver to one another often come in just three words. When spoken or conveyed, those statements have the power to forge new friendships, deepen old ones and restore relationships that have cooled. The following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship.

I'LL BE THERE - Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and to us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. 'Being there' is at the very very core of civility.

I MISS YOU - Perhaps more marriages could be salvaged and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other, "I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.

I RESPECT YOU - Respect is another way of showing love. Respect conveys the feeling that
another person is a true equal. It is a powerful way to affirm the importance of a relationship.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT - This phrase is highly effective in diffusing an argument and restoring
frayed emotions. The flip side of "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting "maybe I'm wrong."

PLEASE FORGIVE ME - Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

I THANK YOU - Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

COUNT ON ME - "A friend is one who walks in when others walk out," Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship; it is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those who are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there, indicating "you can count on me."

LET ME HELP - The best of friends see a need and try to fill it. When they spot a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they pitch in and help.

I UNDERSTAND YOU - People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel the other person accepts and understands them. Letting others know in so many little ways that you understand him or her is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship.

GO FOR IT - Some of your friends may be non conformists, have unique projects and unusual hobbies. Support them in pursuing their interests. Rather than urging your loved ones to conform, encourage their uniqueness-everyone has dreams that no one else has.

I suppose the 3 little words that you were expecting to see have to be reserved for those who are special; that is I LOVE YOU.
Have a great day loving yourself and loving your loved ones! c ya

To say I love you even without words

0 comments

There are actually several ways to say I love you even with the absence of words. Remember that action speaks louder than words. Words may not be enough to show someone you love him or her.

This article may give great ideas as it reveals three ways to say I love you even without words:

Let go of your past - One way to say I love you even with the absence of words is to let go of your past. When you completely let go of your past, you are actually telling him how much you love him or her. When you are tied up with your past, you are just giving him or her doubtful thoughts regarding your true feelings. When the person you love learns and feels you have completely forgotten your past, you are actually telling him or her I love you.

No comparisons - Another way to say I love you even with the absence of words is to never have comparisons. Do not compare him or her to anybody; especially with your ex. Always make him or her feel that she is special and a unique individual, and that you love him or her for who she is. When you make that person feel that he or she is incomparable, you are actually silently telling him or her I love you.

Accept flaws and weaknesses - This is one of the best ways to say I love you even with the absence of words. You do not actually demand for a person to change if you love him or her. You accept the person for who she or he is, and cover up the weaknesses. This is one of the greatest ways to say I love you.
Saying I love you may not be enough. Consider these three ways and let that someone feel how much you love them!
