Live the Moment
The Zen story goes of a man who, fleeing a tiger, jumped over a cliff to escape, grabbed a vine and hung suspended from the side saw another tiger gazing hungrily up.
In a moment of hanging of the cliff. While the tiger pawed down at him, glancing below he saw another tiger gazing hungrily up.
In a moment of surrender, the man looked to a solitary flower growing from the cliff.
"Splendid!"

The Bridge
There was once a bridge which spanned a large river. During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge. But at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing a train to cross it.

Time passes by
Passing By
Time passes by
I try to see
A flower grow
A child become a man
The sun rise
The moon disappear
Standing still
The wind touches me
As it passes by
I hear the sounds around me
They seem far away
My mind wanders
Taking me to a hill in the sky
Where trees are tall
Where my soul mate holds me in his arms
Where a Sacred Wind surrounds us
As I am still
THE DONKEY AND HIS PURCHASER
THE DONKEY AND HIS PURCHASER

A man who wanted to buy a Donkey went to market, and, coming across a likely-looking beast, arranged with the owner that he should be allowed to take him home on trial to see what he was like. When he reached home, he put him into his stable along with the other donkeys. The newcomer took a look round, and immediately went and chose a place next to the laziest and greediest beast in the stable. When the master saw this he put a halter on him at once, and led him off and handed him over to his owner again. The latter was a good deal surprised to seem him back so soon, and said, "Why, do you mean to say you have tested him already?" "I don't want to put him through any more tests," replied the other. "I could see what sort of beast he is from the companion he chose for himself." -

check out people's identities
You're a polite fellow, so you nod, you say, "That's nice," but your BS meter is boiling over. You know the guy is full of it, your gut is telling you he's a fugazi but you can't be 100% sure so you don't call him on it. You finish the conversation, you remain polite and you say goodbye and then you move on with your life.
But what if you don't move on? What if you get seduced by his fairy tales, by the promises and the web this guy is weaving? What if you aren't sure whether this guy is real or not? What if the guy introducing you is a stand-up guy that you are relying on to make your judgment on this guy?
In an ideal world, you should get to beat the living crap out of someone to find out if they are telling the truth, but unfortunately our fathers of liberty took away that privilege. So now we have make do with good old-fashioned detective work.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection
Motivational Quote
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
از کسانی که سعی می کنند آرزوهای شما را تحقیر کنند، دوری کنید. افراد پست همواره اینکار را انجام میدهند، اما بزرگ مردان حقیقی موجب می شوند حس کنید که شما نیز می توانید انسان بزرگی باشید.
(از مارک توواین؛ نویسنده داستانهای "هاکل بری فین" و "تام سایر" )
Love cures people -- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it
عشق علاج انسانهاست – چه آن کس که عشق می ورزد و چه آن کس که مورد عشقی قرار می گیرد
(از دکتر کارل مـِـنین گـِـر )
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams
آینده متعلق به کسانیست که به زیبایی رویاهایشان ایمان دارند
(از اِلینور رُزولت "همسر فرانکلین رُزولت" )
What Life Is All About
Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many friends you have. Or how many people call you. Or how accepted or unaccepted you are. Not about if you have plans this weekend. Or if you're alone. It isn't about who you're dating, who you use to date, how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all. It isn't about who you have kissed. It's not about sex. It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have. Or what kind of car you drive. Or where you're sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are. Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to. It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, brown, or green. Or if your skin is too light or too dark.

The waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling, what is there to know
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you
God bless the ground! I shall walk slowly there.
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the tree; but who can tell us how
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair:
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

When it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there
TRUE FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS Friends are FOREVER
Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them but you know they are always there
Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smileYou can only go as far as you push
Actions speak louder than words
Don't let the past hold you backyou're missing the good stuff
Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it.

Some people make the world SPECIAL just by being in it
