The Bengal Tiger: Never say die!!!

In 1992 a new player marked his presence in Indian cricket team, Saurav Chandidas Ganguly. He fialed miserably against West Indies, scored only 3 runs, as a result he was dropped from the team. This man amassed a lot of runs in domestic cricket and made a comeback in Indian side touring England in 1996. He emerged as the prince of Indian cricket by scoring centuries in both the innings of his debut test match. He was awarded "Man of the series" in the first test series of his carrier. From here he never looked back and was soon became one of the most trusted and loved cricketer of India.

Sourav was appointed as captain when Sachin Tendulkar, shocked everyone by stepping down from his captaincy after India’s disastrous tour of Australia in 1999. As vice captain to Tendulkar, Sourav was the most obvious choice, also at that time a lot of major players including Sachin Tendulkar were unfit. He accepted the challenge and led India to a victory against South Africa. Suddenly a meteor crashed on the surface of world cricket, the match fixing scandal!!!

With major players like Ajay Jadeja and Md. Azzharuddin out from the action, he took the charge with youngsters. Sourav also was not shy of taking on responsibility. He showed that he can be a leader of a team, which has greats like Sachin and Dravid in the side, without any problems. Under Sourav's leadership, India got back the winning habit which the team had forgotten.

Today, Sourav Ganguly is the most successful Indian captain leaving Mohammed Azharuddin’s previous record of 14 test wins behind. Sourav has won 21 Tests as captain, of which more than 7 wins have come overseas! His success rate is an amazing 42%, the highest ever by an Indian captain.

Under his captaincy, the Indian team achieved remarkable heights, including the Test series win against Australia at home in 2001, reaching the World Cup Final in 2003, and winning both the one-day and Test series in Pakistan in 2004.

In just a few years, Sourav rewrote the rules of captaincy. Unlike some of his predecessors, he was impartial, non-parochial, and forever pushed his players to perform better. Off the field, Sourav’s interactions with the media, his fans, and detractors were uncompromisingly honest and earned him the respect of cricket followers everywhere. His 5-year reign

as India's most successful skipper came to an end in October 2005 when India's newly appointed coach (allegedly) tried to pressurized him to step down as the Captain of Indian side.

Soon Sourav became a forgotten chapter. Team under Rahul Dravid started well but after some time it started struggling. On the other hand Ganguly didn't started domestic season well but soon he got his form back and started scoring big. In spite of that Chief of Indian Cricket Selection Committee said that the board will never ever consider Sourav again, but...

As he said, "I'll come back", he was called back to Indian side and he proved his mettle against South African "Bouncers", and was awarded "Man of the series".

He also scored his maiden double century against Pakistan.

After playing a successful innings he decided to put an end to the story, with his never say die spirit the Prince of Kolkata emerged as the Greatest Cricket Captain (Maharaja) of India.

A big question?

We all are human beings, like others we do commit mistakes, we regret when we miss something in life, we feel sorry when others fail, we grow angry when things don't go our way...

The question is what we can do about it???????????

Can we change our past???

Can we know our future???

Can we control the way others behave with us???

So the big question here is What we have done, because of which we, face such sufferings?

It is said that we have to accept, what God has written in our destiny, but!!!

Remember a deer never enters in the mouth of a sleeping lion. Lion have to hunt at least twelve times to achieve success (actually he earns his food)

Yes! we can change our destiny and if required we can fight with the whole world for it.

Remember the courage of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose

Remember the patience of Mahatma Gandhi

Remember the enthusiasm of Banda Singh Bahadur

Remember the optimism of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

Remember the dedication of Rabindranath Tagore...

Please remember that every huge banyan tree grew from a small seed

So it doesn't matter what you were in the past or what you are now, but

It matters what you are planning to become in future.

Failure! Oh my God what to do???

Many times it happens in our life...

We FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Failure is the eternal truth of this world, but is it the end???

In a famous dialogue (from the movie The ghost and the darkness) Michael Douglas, said "Each defeat teach us something, today you are defeated; now it is up to you what you can learn from it".

Yes, I accept that failure is painful but do you have any other choice???

But no failure is permanent, TIME is the greatest medicine.

Famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar once said in an interview "Every failure sets a new fire in me, each time I get out on duck (i.e. 0), I tell myself that now I have to hit a century".

So what to do when you fail???

When he was asked how he feels when his movie fails at box office, Amitabh Bachchan replied "I just smile and tell myself that I gave my best shot, but it was God's will that the movie didn't worked. Every morning comes with a new hope; I'll start a new movie better than this one".

Feel proud of our failures!!!!!!!!!

What!!!!

Yes, we should feel proud of our failures because, we failed not because we are not talented; we failed because: we had the courage to try something new

we failed because we had the daring that no one else has

We Failed Because God Knew That We Are Capable Of Facing Such A Defeat!!!

The Ship is always safest at the Harbor. But that is not where it is supposed to be

In her poem "The Last Song", Emily Dickinson mentioned that the value of victory is best known by those who failed to achieve it, and not by the one who won,

so even if you have failed to achieve anything, you are the one who knows how valuable that thing is!!!

I would like to invite you to share your biggest defeat in life with all of us, may be we can help you to overcome from the pain resulted from that defeat.

Life II

After listening these words boy set off for his place. On his way he met with a priest. Priest asked "My son why are you looking so sad?", the boy told him the whole story. Priest asked "do you really love her?", "yes" the boy replied. "My son love is not the gesture of taking; it is the gesture of giving, if you really love her then leave her alone. Your happiness lies in her happiness". Boy realized it, said thank you to priest and continued his journey.

After many years...

Boy became a business tycoon. One day his accountant invited him for dinner at his home. Boy reached there on time and a big surprise was waiting for him...

His lost love was the wife of his accountant. He realized that she still does not remember him, but he was happy to see that she is also happy with her family.

When his accountant asked the secret of his success, he told his accountant the following learning's:

1. Never ever give up in life but...
2. Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go
3. When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal
4. Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together
5. Sadness flies away on the wings of time
6. We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey
7. If you're going through hell, keep going
8. You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present
9. There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go
10. Let your joy scream across the pain
11. Turn your wounds into wisdom
12. Don't cry when the sun is gone, because the tears won't let you see the stars

So my dear friend, in life we also lose many things, which are dear to us but there is one thing, which no one can take away, that is our hope. So always keep on moving ahead, forget the past but never forget to learn something from it.

Life I

Life is amazing. We believe that everything is in our control, but when we come face to face with reality; we realize that there is someone else who controls everything.

There was a young boy, who was born in a very rich and well to do family. Right from his birth he always got whatever he wanted. When he reached at the age of 18 years, he met with a beautiful girl. He immediately fell in love with her. Even she responded in a positive manner and hence their love story began.

Boy was pretty sure that he is the writer of his own destiny, he always get what he wanted, but...

Suddenly one day girl fell from stairs and was taken to a hospital. After regaining consciousness she remembered everyone except that boy!

Boy's life became miserable he got everything he wanted but had lost the most precious thing he needed. He tried very hard to gain her attention but she ignored him every-time.

Ultimately when all the means failed the boy left his place and started wandering like a mad. One day he met with a sage who said "Everything in this world happens only due to God's will". The boy asked "Does your God loves all of us?" Sage replied "Yes, my son, he is our supreme father, he love all of us like his children". "Then why he give us sorrow, pain etc?" boy asked. "Dear son", sage replied, "have you ever been to a doctor, along with your parents?" Boy said "Yes". Sage said "Did your parents ever allowed him to give you an injection, even when they knew that it will hurt you?" Boy thought for a while and then replied "yes, because they also knew that this is the only means to cure me". "In the similar manner God give us problems, pains and sufferings so that we can improve our-self and become better", sage replied.

To be continued...

A great warrior

Friends, we all have heard about Mahabharata. A great warrior is also a part of this epic. He was abandoned by his mother immediately after his birth. He was raised by a cart driver. He was destined to be the greatest warrior but throughout his life he was called as "Sut-putra". He was "Surya-putra" Karna. Eldest in Pandavas.

He was so powerful that he defeated all the Pandavas single handedly, but spared their lives because of the promise, which he gave to his mother (Kunti).

It is said that during the war if Arjuna's arrows crossed the distance of 2 miles his arrows crossed the distance of 4 miles.

Krishna always motivated Arjuna, but Shalya always demotivated Karna.

While fighting he knew that Pandavas are his own brothers, but Pandavas never knew that they were fighting against their elder brother.

His is known for his generosity. Imagine how he was tempted by Lord Krishna when he revealed Karna' true identity and told him that he will rule the whole earth as the eldest Pandav.

Even Arjuna and Krishna himself will bow before him.

But that great son of Sun refused all the delight of being king, for his friend Duryodhana. He always knew that Duryodhana was wrong and whole world will call him a villain. But Karna chose to become a villain only for the sake of friendship.

Throughout his life he faced humiliation from his own brothers but in the end he spared their lives.

Not many people know that Karna, once participated in the swamvar of a proud princess. There he defeated all the kings but when he realized that the princess is very proud of her wealth and beauty. He in stead of marrying her, married her maid. Such a great human being!

Only after his death people realized his greatness, otherwise when he was alive everyone made fun of him.

His whole life is a lesson for all of us. We usually get discouraged against small adversities, we should remember the pains and sufferings of others (I bet if you will compare, you will find out that your pain is always smaller than other's pain).

Attitude makes the difference

ALWAYS MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Many years ago, a large American shoe manufacturer sent two sales representatives out to different parts of the Australian outback to see if they could drum up some business among the aborigines. Some time later, the company received telegrams from both agents. The first one said, "No business here...natives don't wear shoes." The second one said, "Great opportunity here...natives don't wear shoes!"

It's the attitude that makes all the difference in our thinking.

The Brick

About ten years ago, a young and very successful executive named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his sleek, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.

He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child darted out, but a brick sailed out and - WHUMP! - it smashed Into the Jag's shiny black side door! SCREECH..!!!! Brakes slammed! Gears ground into reverse, and tires madly spun the Jaguar back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. Josh jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That's my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"

"Please, mister, please. . . I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!" Pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the young executive tried desperately to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the sleek, black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE -a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. . . Some bricks are softer than others. Feel for the bricks of life coming at to you. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has positive answers.

Confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In our life, sometimes we feel as if we are moving in total darkness, whatever happened in the past we can not see it (correct it), we can not see the future and hence we are confused about our present!!!

The catch is "What to do???"

If you believe in your abilities then adopt a “cog in the wheel” attitude and go with the flow. Many times, we give far too much importance to our self and it is this ego that gives rise to confusion. The greatest emperors and dictators that ever lived are all gone now and there are no regrets – the world did not come to a grinding halt! We are no more than “cogs in the wheel” of life and as long as we chip in doing our utmost best in our assigned roles, life moves on comfortably – no confusion whatsoever!

When we are confused on what course to pursue or job to take etc., many times the confusion is attributable to our unwillingness to stretch our capabilities.

Always remember that we are our own best friends & we should be able to put our best efforts to achieve our goals – not shirk from responsibilities by an overriding sense of laziness!

As usual I have a story for you:

There was a man who was born in a very poor family. He worked hard and at the age of 28 he emerged as a "Business Tycoon". He lived life like a monarch, but after 15 years at the age of 43 he became bankrupt!!!

He was under the debt of Rs. 50,00,000 and he did not had even Rs. 50,000.

Now try to put yourself in his shoes,

How you would have felt when your 9 year old daughter who lived like a princess, cried for a 2 rupee candy and you could not afford it.

How you would have felt when your 14 year old son got seriously ill and you don't even had Rs. 10 to pay doctor's fee.

How you would have felt when your wife had to walk 12 km daily in order to save Rs. 10.

How you would have felt when you visited a holy place (may be a temple) and you did not had even a single penny to offer as a sovereign.

In such circumstances you don't know what will happen, but this man tried his best, he never let his moral down.

He always muttered these words "All these situations can take away all my wealth but they can not take my hope, my courage and my spirit from me! I am not going to lose!!!"

This man tried one business to another but everywhere he got the same result "FAILURE".

But he kept on trying and after a "bone-crushing" struggle of 6 years, he achieved success.

Today he has regained his position as the "undisputed business tycoon".

When I asked him the secret of his success he replied

" I always had faith, faith in God, faith in my own abilities, faith that after every dark night there is a lovely morning"

So whatever be the situation, however dark and dull.

We must believe,

We must have...

FAITH

Lessons from the life of Lord Krishna

Life of Lord Krishna, is a perfect answer to the question 'how to live in "Kaliyug"?':

He was born in a prison, his parents were imprisoned without any crime!!!

He was brought up in a small village, while he deserved to be a part of royal palace.

Daily one or the other demon was sent to take away his life.

His own uncle Kansa tried everything to turn his life into hell.

Even Lord Brahma and Indra created trouble for him.

His own nephew Sishupaal was after his life.

His childhood love Radha was married to somebody else.

In spite of all these adversities he lived his life like a festival (utsaav).

He remained the same; smiling Kanha whether circumstances were favorable or not.

He remained calm even when Gandhari cursed him, or when Narad cursed his clan.

He remained calm during Kurukshetra while being a part of the greatest war ever fought.

It was his wisdom because of which Pandavas emerged victorious against a much larger force of mighty Kouravas.

He was so generous that when Duryodhana (who tried to arrest him) asked for his army to fight against Pandavas (and Krishna himself), he gave him his whole army along with weapons.

The list is endless...

So what we can learn from him:

1. Be the same "smiling" person (either you are happy or sad inside)
2. Never give up (life never ends)
3. Do not wait for any miracle, do it yourself
4. Be calm and show respect even when your elders are scolding you
5. Be clever not wicked
6. Forgive your enemies but never forget their names
7. Do not leave anything incomplete
8. Move on in life (even when your dearest one is gone forever)
9. Do not respond to critics, just keep on improving yourself (many people called him gwala, ranchod, etc.)
10. Be ready to do anything (even to break your promise) if it is required in order to save dharma
11. Ethics are flexible, use them for benefit of society
12. Be humble, even when the whole universe is your slave (he picked "pattals" during rajsuya yagya of Yudhisthir)
13. Punish them who deserves to be punished, Forgive them who deserve to be forgiven and teach them who value your teachings.

I will keep on writing since we can learn endless things from this Genius's life, so my final words are (I love to repeat them):

Karm kiye ja, fal ki chinta mat kar!!!

The 4 wives

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.

He also, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.

Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.

The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.

Then a voice called out: "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!”

Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives

a. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

b. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status, and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.

c. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

d. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.

Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we're on our deathbed to lament

Adversity

A winner is NOT one who NEVER FAILS, but one
who NEVER QUITS!

In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first
record audition for the executives of the Decca recording Company. The executives were not impressed. While turning down this group of musicians, one executive said, "We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out." The group was called The Beatles.

In 1944, Emmeline Snively, director of the Blue Book Modeling
Agency told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker, "You'd better learn secretarial work or else get married." She went on and
became Marilyn Monroe.

In 1954, Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry, Fired a
singer after one performance. He told him, "You ain't goin'
nowhere....son. You ought to go back to drivin' a truck." He went on to become Elvis Presley.

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it did
not ring off the hook with calls from potential backers. After making a demonstration call, President Rutherford Hayes said, "That's an amazing invention, but who would ever want to see one of them?"

When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over
2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked
him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process."

In the 1940s, another young inventor named Chester Carlson took
his idea to 20 corporations, including some of the biggest in the
country. They all turned him down. In 1947, after 7 long years of
rejections, he finally got a tiny company in Rochester, NY, the Haloid Company, to purchase the rights to his invention -- an electrostatic paper-copying process. Haloid became Xerox Corporation.

A little girl - the 20th of 22 children, was born prematurely
and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she
contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralysed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running.

One day she actually won a race; and then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl - Wilma
Rudolph, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.

A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to
his mathematics and for not being able to solve simple problems. She told him that you would not become anybody in life. The boy was Albert Einstein.

Back in 1932 was out of a job and broke, and his wife was expecting a baby. Although he was a heating engineer, there were no jobs available and Darrow and his wife were just barely subsisting on the few odd jobs he could get as a handyman.

Things were bleak. Fate didn't reckon with the courage of this man and his wife, however. They laughed at it, literally. In the evenings, to take their minds off their troubles, they made a little game in which they could pretend they were millionaires, recalling pleasant vacations in nearby Atlantic City. They reconstructed the area adjoining the boardwalk. Darrow carved hotels and houses out of small pieces of wood, and they called the game Monopoly. Three years later, in 1935 the game was marketed by Parker Brothers, and Darrow and his wife became millionaires because they allowed adversity to make them instead of break them.

When you face adversity, are you going to allow it to break you
or make you? It's your choice

Who is our biggest enemy???

Dear Friends,

I have met a lot of people who often complain that; why I can not do this? why I am not successful? why I am not smart like x, y, or z, and so on...

Let me tell you all that there is a very dangerous and horrible enemy of all of us!!!

Do you want to know who is he???

First read this story:

One fine day a hen laid some eggs. After an hour she found a different egg in the bunch of her eggs. As a generous mother she nourished that egg along with her eggs. After some days all the eggs hatched, along with chickens an offspring of eagle came out.

That eagle started living among hens and roosters, and believed that he is a "ugly and useless rooster", because he was neither beautiful like others, nor he had beak and feathers which can help him to catch small insects and food grains.

One day he saw an eagle soaring high up in the sky and asked a hen about that bird, the hen replied " he is an eagle, king of sky, a very strong bird. Forget about him you can never be like him." So the eagle spent his whole life living in a small farm like a rooster, while he was destined to be the ruler of the sky!!!
Don't you feel we all are also having a similar issue?

Don't you feel that we all are destined to be the eagle, but due to our own thoughts, we are living like hens and roosters?

Don't you feel that we need others to tell us our strengths and weaknesses?

So who is our biggest and most ferocious enemy?

Isn't it our own thoughts and beliefs?

So why we all are living like hens and roosters?

Lets' make a promise to the creator, who created us to rule the world, that from now onwards we will believe in our abilities and will work hard to create our own sky of success.

Remember God/creator has blessed all of us with equal abilities and blessings. We all are equal in terms of capacity the only difference is of thinking, so please don't restrict your self with negative thoughts.

"KARM KIYE JA FAL KI CHINTA MAT KAR"

The power of words...

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down
and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

This story teaches two lessons:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging
word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it
through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes
to kill them.

Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words... it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

The power of prayer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friends,

We all at one instance of life or other, pray; we pray for health, wealth, knowledge, love, success etc.

But sometimes we feel that our prayers have not reached to the ears of the supreme power! because our prayers gone fruitless or to add on to the worst, we got exactly opposite of what we asked for in prayer!!!.

Believe in your prayer, there is a system in the universe that starts acting when you start praying. A prayer done with all the emotions never go in vain, to prove this I am quoting following lines said by a genius:

I asked for Strength.........

And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom.........
And God gave me Problems to solve.

I asked for Prosperity.........
And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage.........
And God gave me Danger to overcome.

I asked for Love.........
And God gave me Troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors.........
And God gave me Opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted........

I received everything I needed!

So never feel discouraged when you get opposite of what you asked in prayer

Touching life story.....

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected???

Dialogues from Kung-fu Panda

Po: Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.
Oogway: Quit, don't quit? Noodles, don't noodles? You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

Mr. Ping: The secret ingredient is... nothing!
Po: Huh?
Mr. Ping: You heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient.
Po: Wait, wait... it's just plain old noodle soup? You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?
Mr. Ping: Don't have to. To make something special you just have to believe it's special.
Po: There is no secret ingredient...
