Take some time out and read
these beautiful words .
Later, reflect on what you have
just read.
Surely you will understand a lot
of things…
First Lesson


               ... after
                      some months at the
               the engg college , the
               professor gave us a GK test.
               Being a good student, I
               quickly answered all the
               questions… all, but the last:
               “What is the name of the
               sweeper of our institute?
First Lesson

               I handed over my test paper,
               leaving the last question
               unanswered. Just before the
               lesson ended, another student
               inquired if the last question would
               be marked.
               “Certainly!", the professor replied.
               “You will meet many people in
               your life. All of them will have
               some degree of importance.
First Lesson



               They will deserve your
               attention, even if it is a
               simple smile or a simple
               hello".
               I never forgot this lesson…
               and went on to learn that the
               name of our sweeper was
               Raghu.
Second Lesson


                On the momentous July
                26,2005 rainy day in
                Mumbai ,a frail man was
                standing on the roadside, in
                knee deep water
                His car had broken down
                and he desperately needed
                help.
                Wet to his core, he signalled
                to the passers by.
Second Lesson
                A young man, stopped to
                help him out.
                He pushed his c ar to her
                to a safe place, called a
                mechanic and hailed a n
                auto for him. The frail old
                man seemed to much in a
                hurry, but did not forget to
                thank him and take down
                his address on a piece of
                paper.
Second Lesson


                Seven days had already
                passed when someone
                knocked at the door of that
                young man.
                To his enormous surprise, it
                was a courier with a huge
                packet to deliver – a n I-Mac
                computer & Philips Music
                System with a note: “Many
                thanks for helping me on the
                road that night.
Second Lesson


                The rain had completely
                drenched me and my soul
                when you appeared.
                Thanks to you ,I was able to
                reach my dying wife just in
                time.
                God bless you for having
                helped me.
                Sincerely,
                 Dr. PK Singhania"
Third Lesson


Sometime ago, when the ice-
creams were not so
expensive, a ten-year old boy
went to Nirula’s ice-cream p
shop. While sitting at the
table, he asked the waiter,
“How much does a Sundae
cost?” Rs.40,”he replied.
The boy took out his money
from the pocket and began
counting it.
Third Lesson

 “Well, how much does a
simple ice-cream cost?".
There were other people
waiting to be served, so the
waiter began to get a little
impatient.
“Rs. 30!" he replied abruptly.
The boy counted his money
again and said: “Please get
me a simple ice-cream!"
Third Lesson
The waiter served him the ice-
cream and his bill. The boy ate his
ice-cream, paid his bill at the cash
counter and left.
When the waiter went to clean the
table he began to cry… for there, in
the corner of the plate,
were Rs 10 … his tip.
The boy took a simple ice-cream
instead of a Sundae so he could
leave a tip for him.
If you have never experienced
the danger of war or the
solitude of imprisonment, the
agony of torture and hunger,
you are much ahead of the
500 million people who live in
this world.
If you have food in your
refrigerator, clothes to wear, a
roof on your head and a place
to sleep, you are richer than
the 75% of the people who live
on this Earth.
If you can go to your place of
worship without being
threatened, arrested, tortured
or killed, you are luckier than
the 3000,000,000 persons of
this world.
If you have money in your
bank account and your wallet
and some loose change in
some little box, you are one of
the world’s 8% well-to-do
population.
If you are able to read this
message, you have just
received a double blessing…
one, someone is thinking
about you…
two, you are not one of those
2000,000,000 people who are
illiterate!
Somebody said at some time:

Work as if you have no need
of the money.
Love as if nobody ever made
you suffer.
Dance as if nobody is
watching you.
Sing as if nobody is hearing
you.
Live as if the Paradise were
on this Earth.
If you like this email send it to all you consider your
                      FRIENDS




               Brighten up someone’s day!
  If you don’t forward it... nothing will happen, or better,
   nothing drastic will happen... this is just one of those
 opportunities that lose themselves in our daily routine…
 The only thing that WILL happen is that it will bring a
smile on the face of all who receive it... If u just forward
                             it!
Now, you can do two things:
1) trash this e-mail

          or...

2 ) Send it to all the people whom
you consider important…
including the one who sent it to
you.
choice all urs!

Have a Nice Day!
