Simple example to illustrate unity and integrity

Open your hands with your fingers raised.
See the fingers carefully.  They are all disintegrated, disjoint and are of different sizes.

Now, folder the fingers.
See the folded fingers carefully.   What do you see? 
They are all integrated, together and probably gives us an
impression that they are of same size from bottom.

Life is all about adjusting, bending, supporting, sacrificing.

Recently, heard this dialog in a Tamil drama and thought of blogging it for the benefit of others.

HARD WORK and LUCK

I was watching the interview of Mr. Narayana Murthy (Chairman, Infosys) in NDTV news channel today.   This is something that I liked as he says....

"As you work harder and harder, you become luckier and luckier"

I just can't disagree with him.   Your chances of achieving something increases as you work harder towards reaching your goal.   As you pass every hurdle, you become luckier and luckier leading to success.

Read this in a doctor's dispensary today and thought of recording it.

Every morning in Africa, a deer wakes up.

It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.

It knows it must run faster than the slowest deer or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter if you are a lion or a deer.

When the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Nature And God!

What would you answer if someone asks you this

Do you believe in God?
Is there something called God?

Many say "Yes" due to the fear or being alienated by their community; because our parents have taught us to say "yes" and we just echo the same. Many take the safe path by saying "May be" inorder to not harm anybody's sentiments.

Few say "No" probably due to circumstances and beliefs.

I was fluctuating between "Yes" and "May be" depending upon my mood and to whom I need to answer.   I started using more of "May be" in the recent past until the recent experience made be go back to "Yes".

I was looking at a Rose Plant in my garden and got into some deep thought around it. Rose is probably the most beautiful flower and is one of the most admired one!. God gave it beauty and also protected it with thorns. So, anyone who attempts to pluck it is sure of getting hurt if she/he is careless. However, if you further notice the plant, you may observe that the thin stem which holds the flower is not that thorny which made me feel that God created the structure purposefully as a caveat for anyone to still pluck it and use it for mankind.

This is just good enough reason for me to believe that God is there as an eternal force. Nature has not given us the 7th sense to feel and appreciate God.
