Thought 26AUG2009

AN IDEALISTS, A CYNIC & A REALIST
An idealist believes the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what was done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.

Yag roz didi dost, degare roz didi bridar / The first day you meet, you are friends; the next day you meet, you are brothers - Afghan Proverb

THE WISE WAY - Parodoxical Commandments

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
