If you ask most people what is their one major objective in life, they would probably give you a vague answer, such as, "I want to be successful", "I want to make a good living, have happy life..." and that is it. They are all wishes and none of them are clear goals.Goals must be SMART:S - Specific.M - MeasurableA - AchievableR - RealisticT - Time-bound

સગાં તો સ્મશાનેથી પાછાં વળી જાય છે,સાચા સગાં છે જંગલના લાકડા જે સાથે બળી જાય છે.છૂટે ના શ્ર્વાસ છેલ્લા ત્યાં સુધી સૌ આશા રાખે છે,દગા અને દુઆમાં લોકો ખૂબ વિશ્ર્વાસ રાખે છે.ઉઘાડી આંખથી નિસ્બત છે દુનિયાને દોસ્તો,બાકી જરૂરતથી વધારે ઘરમાં કોણ લાશ રાખે છે.મરનારની ચિતા પર એનો ચાહનાર કોઇ ચડતો નથી,કહે છે હું મરીશ પણ પાછળથી કોઇ મરતું નથી.જુએ છે દેહને આગમાં બળતો પણ આગમાં કોઇ પડતું નથી,અરે, આગમાં તો શું પડે

"Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm." - Ralph Waldo EmersonEnthusiasm and success go hand in hand, but enthusiasm comes first. Enthusiasm inspires confidence, raises morale, builds loyalty! and is priceless. Enthusiasm is contagious. You can feel enthusiasm by the way a person talks, walks or shakes hands. Enthusiasm is a habit that one can acquire and practice.Many decades ago,

There was a young boy who used to come for regular practice but always played in the reserves and never made it to the soccer eleven.

All of a sudden he showed up for the finals, went to the coach and said, "Coach,

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his Customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."The barber puts a five rupee coin in one hand and two one rupee coins (1+1=2) in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"The boy takes the two one rupee coins and leaves."What did I tell you?" said the barber.

Monkey-hunters use a box with an opening at the top, big enough for the monkey to slide its hand in. Inside the box are bananas. The monkey grabs the banana and now its hand becomes a fist. The monkey tries to get its hand out but the opening is big enough for the hand to slide in, but too small for the fist to come out. Now the monkey has a choice, either to let go off the banana and be free

A little boy got angry with his mother and shouted at her, "I hate you, I hate you." Because of fear of reprimand, he ran out of the house. He went up to the valley and shouted, "I hate you, I hate you," and back came the echo, "I hate you, I hate you."This was the first time in his life he had heard an echo. He got scared, went to his mother for protection and said there was a bad boy in the

મન સાચે જ કલ્પવૃક્ષ છે. તેની સેવા કરીને આ૫ણે અપાર લાભ અને અનંત પુણ્ય મેળવી શકીએ છીએ. સ્વાર્થ અને ૫રમાર્થ બંનેય તેના વડે સાધી શકાય છે. લૌકિક સુખ અને પારલૌકિક શાંતિની ચાવી હાથમાં આવી શકે છે. જો તેને સાધવામાં ન આવે તો તે શેતાનની માફક આ૫ણા માથા ૫ર સવાર થઈને અનેક પ્રકારનાં ખરાબ કૃત્યો કરાવે છે, જુદી જુદી રીતે નાચ નચાવે છે. જો આ૫ણે તેને વશમાં નહીં કરીએ, તો આ૫ણે તેના વશમાં થવું ૫ડશે. કહેવાય છે કે ભૂત

મેલું મન ભલા ક્યાંય ચેન પામી શકે ખરું ? તે અભાગી એ ૫ણ જાણતો નથી કે માનસિક સ્વચ્છતાનું ૫ણ આ સંસારમાં કાંઈક મહત્વજ હોય છે અને તેને મેળવનાર સ્વર્ગના શુખશાંતિનો અનુભવ કરી શકે છે.મનોવિકાર અનેક પ્રકારના છે અને તે બધા પોતપોતાની રીતના રોગ છે. શરીરના રોગને બીજાઓ ૫ણ જાણી શકે છે. ૫રંતુ મનનો રોગ અંદર છુપાયેલો હોવાથી કેવળ રોગી વ્યક્તિને જ ખબર ૫ડે છે. એટલો જ તફાવત છે. બાકી કષ્ટમાં કોઈ અંતર નથી. સાચું તો એ છે

A man, a great man, a fighter for freedom was traveling in the mountains. He stayed in a caravanserai for the night. He was amazed that in the caravanserai there was a beautiful parrot in a golden cage, continually repeating "Freedom! Freedom!" And it was such a place that when the parrot repeated the word "Freedom!" it would go on echoing in the valleys, in the mountains.The man thought: "I have

तुम क्यों प्रेम करते हो?प्रेम में तुम न रहो सिर्फ प्रेम रहेओशो यह विधि प्रेम से संबंधित है, क्योंकि तुम्हारे शिथिल होने के अनुभव में प्रेम का अनुभव निकटतम है। अगर तुम प्रेम नहीं कर सकते हो तो तुम शिथिल भी नहीं हो सकते। और अगर तुम शिथिल हो सके तो तुम्हारा जीवन प्रेमपूर्ण हो जाएगा।एक तनावग्रस्त आदमी प्रेम नहीं कर सकता है। क्यों? क्योंकि तनावग्रस्त आदमी सदा उद्देश्य से, प्रयोजन से जीता है। वह धन कमा

A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhh!!!"To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhh!!!"Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"He receives the answer: "Who are you?"Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"He receives the answer: "Coward!"He looks to his father and asks: "What's

मुगल बादशाह बाबर ने अपने दरबारियों से तेनाली राम की बहुत प्रशंसा सुनी थी। एक दरबारी ने कहा, "आलमपनाह, तेनाली राम की हाजिर-जवाबी और अक्लमंदी बेमिसाल है।" बाबर इस बात की सत्यता परखना चाहता था।उसने राजा कृष्णदेव राय को एक पत्र भेजा, जिसमें उसने प्रार्थना की कि तेनाली राम को एक मास के लिए दिल्ली भेज दिया जाए, जिससे उसकी सूझबूझ का नमूना बादशाह खुद देख सकें। कृष्णदेव राय ने तेनाली राम को विदा करते समय

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists.""Why do you say that?" asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that

There is a story about a wealthy farmer who was once offered all the land he could walk on in a day, provided he came back by sundown to the point where he started. To get a new start, early the next morning the farmer started covering ground quickly because he wanted to get as much land as he could. Even though he was tired, he kept going all afternoon because he didn't want to miss this once in

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom?"Because I'm a woman," she told him."I don't understand," he said.His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will, but that's O.K."...Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?". "All women cry for no reason," was all his Dad could say...The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women

A story about a man who sold hot dogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hot dogs. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more meat and got himself a bigger and a better stove.As his business was growing, the son, who

A Victorian cottage, a bottle of wine, a roaring fire - all the elements for romance. Yet how could Kate feel anything but contempt for her husband after seeing him locked in a passionate embrace with a woman young enough to be his daughter?It was a winding road that led to the tiny Victorian cottage, tucked into a hill. Katy watched Vance with gilded eyes, scanning the handsome face, the bold '

This is a story of two brothers. One was a drug addict and a drunker who frequently beat up his family. The other one was a very successful businessman who was respected in society and had a wonderful family.Some people wanted to find out why two brothers from the same parents, brought up in the same environment, could be so different.The first one was asked, "How come you do what you do?

The Four Candles burned slowly. Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.The second candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.Sadly the third candle

ज़िंदगी में सबसे बड़ी मुश्किल बात है अपने आपको भीतर से जानना और पहेचानना। इस बात पर मुझे एक कहानी याद आती है।बहोत पहले के समय की बात है, एक जंगल मे एक शेरनी थी। शेरनी को बच्चा होने वाला था। शेरनी को प्यास लगी और वोह नदी के पास पानी पीने के लिए गई। शेरनी नदी के पास वह बच्चे को जन्म देके मर गई। वही आस पास मेमनो का ज़ुंड गुजरा और बच्चा उसमे जुड़ गया। धीरे धीरे समय गुजरता गया, बच्चा थोड़ा बड़ा हो गया।

प्यार... प्यार जिसे हम ज़िंदगी की सबसे बड़ी सौगाद मानते है । जिसे कभी ना पाकर भी पा लेते है, तो कभी पाकर भी खो देते है । ज़िंदगी में सच्चा प्यार बड़ी मुश्किल से मिलता है । हम सबको ज़िंदगी में हर लम्हे, कही ना कही, कोई ना कोई मोड़ पर, दिल के किसी ना किसी कोने में हमेशा सच्चा प्यार पाने कि ख्वाहिश रहेती है ।प्यार पानेका सबसे आसान तरीका है पहेले दूसरो को बिन शर्ती प्यार देना । पल पल जीना ओर दूसरो के
