Be Receptive

“Receptive” implies being open to ideas and suggestions.

It means you are inclined and willing to receive whatever it is that you need at that moment – data, creativity, a new idea, or whatever. It’s the opposite of being closed minded and stubborn.

People who are receptive are willing to have a “beginner’s mind,” the willingness to learn, even if they are considered the expert. Because they are not defensive, these people have sharp learning curves and are almost always the ones who come up with the best ideas. They are fun to work with and are great team players because they think “outside the box” and consider differing points of view.

I know a person who is one of the most receptive individuals I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. He was a business leader who was willing to listen to everyone – and who would frequently take the advice of his employees. Rather than stubbornly insisting that his answers were always the best, he would take his ego out of the picture. He would reflect on the suggestions given by his employees to determine the best possible course of action.

He told me, “It made my job so much easier. By being genuinely receptive to suggestions and ideas, rather than shutting them off, I had the advantage of hundreds of brilliant minds working together – rather than having to rely on my tiny little mind.”

Our own unique flaw

Once upon a time there was a water-bearer in India who had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
 
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pot full of water in his master’s house.
 
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was
made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
 
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water-bearer one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.” “Why?” asked the bearer.
 
“What are you ashamed of ?”
 
“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work and you don’t get full value from your efforts, the pot said. The water-bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”
 
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some.
 
But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.

 
The bearer said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side?
 
That’s because have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you’ve watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table.
Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house.”
 
 
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that
make our lives together so very interesting and warding. You’ve just got to take each
person for what they are and look for the good in them

God personally saves!

One day Akbar said to Birbal, "I marvel at some of the fantastic beliefs that you Hindus hold. You believe that the Lord comes to this earth in the garb of a human being - what an absurd notion this is!"

"What is so absurd about it, sire?" asked Birbal. "The Creator of the cosmos is also the Father of us all. Is it so fantastic that the Father should come down to earth to save His children?"

"Of course it is fantastic and absurd," Akbar insisted. "Why should the Creator of the cosmos soil His Divine Form and plunge into the samsara sagara - the ocean of material existence?"   Birbal made no reply.

A few days passed.  Akbar and Birbal were taking a leisurely stroll along the banks of the Yamuna. A pleasure boat was sailing on the river; the Emperor's infant son sat on the knees of his nurse, and was enjoying this leisurely boat ride. When the nurse saw Akbar and Birbal on the bank of the river, she was so startled that she tried to stand up in the boat and the child on her knees fell into the river! 

Emperor Akbar was astounded!   Without a moment’s hesitation he plunged into the cold waters of the river to save his son.  Swimming fast, he reached the child - only to realize that it was but a doll that had been thrown into the waters!
Birbal swam after the king to meet him mid-river. "Even as an earthly father, sire, you plunged into the waters and did not in the least bother about your royal robes getting soiled and wet." he said to Akbar."Does our Heavenly Father not love us a million times more than we love our children? Would He not plunge into the murky waters of the samsara-sagara to save His children?"

The Emperor made no attempt to answer his Minister

Follow Your Heart

Sometimes your heart thinks, whom do you really love?

You love someone, but you like someone else
Your minds speaks, but your heart denies...

Someone listens, but someone else comforts...
Someone prays, but someone else consoles...

Someone says, but someone else's actions speak...
Someone laughs, but someone else understands...

Someone just tells, but someone else makes you do...
Someone is there, but someone you want is not...

You search for someone in someone else...
Is this a beginning of Love, or is it the end?

A time comes in life when you think what love really is?
What you think is love, or is it something else?

Listen to your mind..., but follow your heart.

give me some lines on this

In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.

YOUR LOVE

SMALL STORY

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.
That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.
Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

LET EXCELLENCE BE YOUR TRADEMARK!

LET EXCELLENCE BE YOUR TRADEMARK!

“One great cause of the failure of people in business,’’ said ravishankarji, is the lack of concentration.” Most people who become great confine their powers to one particular channel. It is not a matter of doing many things indifferently, but of doing one thing supremely well. The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each, but in the amount of intelligent work. Concentrate your powers upon one unwavering aim, one absorbing purpose. Whatever you are engaged in, you are, in the words of GoD, to be “all there.” Think for it, plan for it, work for it, live for it, throw your mind, might, strength, heart, and soul into it-and success will crown you.

Make it a life rule to give your best to whatever passes
through your hands.

Let superiority be your trademark let it characterize everything you touch. This is what every employer is looking for. The majority of people do not see that the steps which lead to the position above them are constructed, little by little, by the faithful performance of the common, humble, everyday duties of the position they are now filling. Good work is the best substitute for genius, it is better capital than cash, and it is better promoter than friends.

Most people think, because their occupations in life are humble, because they occupy no place of special importance, no office of distinction that they are of very little account. You should look upon your calling, however humble, with the same sense of pride as you would if you were occupying a position of great distinction. Why not? Your place in life, your vocation, is out just as much consequence to you as that of the president of the country is to him or her. Nobility is the child of Superior Quality.

Resolve that your life’s work shall be a masterpiece.

No matter whether it marketing, farming, lawmaking, let it be a masterpiece. Thoroughness is at the foundation of all success – your own inner success in character building, and your outward success in the world of progress

LIFE IS NOT A RACE
