A man planted a
rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw
the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he
thought, “How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many
sharp thorns?” saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and
just before it was ready to bloom, it died. So it is with us. Within every soul
there is a rose, the God-like qualities planted at birth, grow amid the thorns
of our faults. We never realize our potential. Some people do not see the rose
within themselves; someone else must how it to them. One of the greatest gifts
a person can posses is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find
the rose in them.

Love can not
return unless you give it. People who love each other can continue to give and
take action of love with more power than they invest. We can conclude that the
word ‘eternity’ can only be formed through love.

After reading
this, I look back my past and got the answer of what happened to me this summer
because I did not do above mentioned thing.
So, before it is
too late, start now and here.
the 20th and 21st century
The other day, I
read this wonder article which made me think myself deeper in my life. So, I
thought of sharing with you.
The 20th
century was the age of introspection, when self-help and therapy cultural
encouraged us to believe that the best way to understand who we are and how to
live was to look inside ourselves. But it left us gazing at our own navels.
The 21st
century should become the age of empathy, when we discover ourselves not simply
through self-reflection, but by becoming interested in the lives of others. We
need empathy to create a new kind of revolution. Not an old- fashioned
revolution built on new laws, institution or policies, but a radical revolution
in human relationship.
