Quote of the Week:
"Adversity introduce a man to himself "

Here is another one :
"The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of
rewarding joy if there were not limitations to overcome. The hilltop
hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to
traverse. "
- Helen Keller

Amusing facts of the Week.
Isaac Newton dropped out of school when he was a teenager, at his
mother's behest. She hoped he would become a successful farmer.
Here is another one :
Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel. He refused the
opportunity, having no head, he said, for human problems.

Message of Love : On this Christmas
The whole world is celebrating Christmas- the birth day of Jesus
Christ. On this day I would like to discuss with you the most important
message Jesus gave us.
His most important message was (is) : Love
Love everybody. Have a compassion for all - even for sinners.
Spread love wherever you can for love is the greatest force of all.
Here is what Napoleon said about Jesus in his memoirs :-
"Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and myself founded empires; but upon
what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ
alone founded his empire on Love; and at this hour, millions of men
would die for him."
Jesus was innocent yet he was crucified brutally. Even then he didn't
show any animosity against his oppressors.
He just said- " God ! please forgive them for they don't know what they
are doing"
In the midst of such brutal torture only a man filled with pure love
can utter such words for his oppressors. If we study Jesus' life the
most important message that come again and again is of love.
We have no love of God if we hate our neighbour. "If you cannot love
your brother who you see, how can you love God whom you do not see?' (1
Jn 4:20)
My dear friends, this Christmas (and the coming last week of 2005) is
the best occasion to refresh our love. Once the party ends and you find
yourself a bit free, make a list of all your friends and relatives with
whom you have not been in touch for long. Contact them and wish them.
Talk with them about those golden days you spent together. Ask them how
the life is going on. Share your life with them. In the ultimate
analysis we all are normal human beings and we all like to be loved, to
be remembered by someone.
Make a Call. send an email or just send an SMS.
I am sure - if you do this, it will be your best Christmas ever.
