It’s only Words and words are
It’s only Words and words are all I have to take your heart away…
Thus go the lyrics of a famous song. Words are an integral part of our lives, employed every day to serve our purposes. Our day begins and ends with words. We rely on words to convey our feelings. Words of encouragement and excitement, words of happiness or sorrow, of kindness or hatred, words that make us laugh or cry, words that dread us with despair and words that fill us with hope.
A single word that is appropriate can often convey more depth and meaning than a myriad of words. And yet, we struggle with words. Many a times we wonder “what’s the right word here?” Wouldn’t it be great if we had in our possession an arsenal of words to suit every occasion? The “Word of the day” initiative endeavors to do just that. The idea is very simple. All we need to do is to read, understand and use one new word per day.

New Things
Stay committed to your decisions,
but be flexible in your approach!
Goals are simply tools to focus your energy
in the positive direction!
Courage is like a muscle; It gets
strengthened by use!
The quality of one's life is directly proportional
to his/ her commitment to excellence!
When work, commitment and pleasure become
one, then nothing is impossible!
It takes a deep commitment to change and an even
deeper commitment to sustain and grow!
Stride forward with a firm and steady step having faith
inside yourself, that you will achieve every aim!
Yesterday is a cancelled cheque; Tomorrow is a promissory note;
Today is the only cash you have, so spend it wisely!
Strength does not come from physical capacity
but from our indomitable inner will!
Learn from yesterday, live for today
and hope for tomorrow!
The first and most important step towards success
is to get the feeling that we can succeed!
Faith is the essence of things that are hoped for,
and the evidence of things that are not seen!
The aim of an argument or discussion should
not be victory but progress!
You cannot change your destination overnight,
but you can change your direction overnight!
Our main motivation for living is
our will to find meaning in life!
Ability can take you to the top, but it takes
character to keep you there!
You cannot tailor make the situations in life, but you can tailor
make the attitudes to fit those situations before they arise!
Smile is the most powerful social tool
you have at your disposal!
Everything of significance a leader accomplishes happens not just
because of his or her efforts, but through the efforts of others!
The great thing in this world is not so much where we are,
but in which direction we are moving!
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary;
To one without faith, no explanation is possible!
It's not who you are that holds you back,
it's who you think you're not!
Effort fully releases its reward only
after a person refuses to quit!
Keep a cool head and a low profile but
aim to do something really big!
Between tomorrow's dreams and yesterday's
regrets are today's opportunities!
We make a living by what we get, but
we make our life by what we give!
A constant and ceaseless struggle, to bring success from inhospitable
surroundings, is the price of all great achievements!
The difference between impressing people and influencing them is that,
impressing them changes what they think while influencing them changes what
they do!
The will to persevere is often the difference
between failure and success!
Freedom is not worth having, if it does not
include the freedom to make mistakes!
Big Goals can create a fear of failure,
lack of goals guarantees it!

Detctive brother's - Jok
A policeman was testing 3 brothers who were training to become
detectives.
To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the
first brother a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your
suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The first brother answers, "That's
easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman
says, "Well...uh... that's because the picture I showed is his side
profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for
5 seconds at the second brother and asks him, "This is your suspect, how
would
you recognize him?"
The second brother smiles and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy
to catch because he only has one ear!" The policeman angrily responds,
"What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are
showing because it's a picture of his side profile! Is that the best answer
you can come up with?"
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third brother
and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you
recognize him?
He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer." The brother
looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "The suspect wears
contact lenses." The policeman is surprised and speechless because he
really
doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an
interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and
I'll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes to his office,
checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming
smile on his face.
"Wow! I can't believe it. It's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact
lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?"
"That's easy," the third brother replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he
only has one eye and one ear."
