Symbol of love

Do you think True Love have limits...

Man Carves Wife a 6,000 Stair Path in Mountain

A weird love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world. It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half century.

Over 50 years ago, Liu, was a 19 years-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu. At the time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.

To avoid the market gossips, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing area.

In the beginning, they had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to lighten up their lives.

Starting the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began, and continue for over 50 years, to hand carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.

A half century later in 2001, a group of adventures were exploring the forest, they surprisingly found the elderly couple and the over 6,000 stairs of hand carved ladder.

“My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day.” Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, “He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother’s convenience, although she doesn’t go down the mountain that much.”�

 

The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years-old, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms.

So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife’s hand even after he had passed away.

“You promised me you’ll take care of me, you’ll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?” … …

Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband’s black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks.

In 2006, their story had became one of the top 10 love stories from China, collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the "love ladder" and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

Hope - Inspiring lines

If you can look at the sunset and smile,
Then you still have hope.
If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,
Then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,
Then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,
Then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,
Then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to
Sleep, then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder,
then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips,
then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and
Optimism, then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
Then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that
Have touched your life, then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a
Pleasant surprise, then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and
Frustration, then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it
Must end, then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and
Reflection, then you still have hope.


If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be
Happy, then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile, then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile,
you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase
... "yeah... BUT..." then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it
Sometimes hides, but rarely does it break.

It sustains us when nothing else can.

It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,
When we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.

Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the
Direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured,
and something that will refresh us in return.

And it can be found in each of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of places.
Never lose hope.

Attitude makes the Difference

 

That is attitude.

1) Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life.
Never ask for a lighter rain.
Just pray for a better umbrella.

2) When flood comes, fish eat ants & when flood recedes,
ants eat fish.Only time matters. Just hold on,
God gives opportunity to everyone!

3) Life is not about finding the right person,
but creating the right relationship, it is not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the ending.

4) Some people always throw stones in your path.
It depends on you what you make with them, Wall or Bridge? Remember you are the architect of your life.

5) Every problem has (n+1) solutions, where n is the number of solutions that you have tried and
1 is that you have not tried. That's life.

6) It is not important to hold all the good cards in life.
But it is important how well you play with the cards
which you hold.

7) Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end,
God smiles from above and says,'Relax dear, it is just a bend. Not the end. Have Faith and
have a successful life.

8) When you feel sad, to cheer up, just go to the mirror and say, 'Damn I am really so cute' and you will overcome your sadness.
But don't make this a habit because liars go to hell.

9) One of the basic differences between God and human is, God gives, gives and forgives. But human gets,
gets, gets and forgets. Be thankful in life!

10) Only two types of persons are happy in this world.
1st is Mad and 2nd is Child.
Be Mad to achieve what you desire
and
be a Child to enjoy what you have achieved!

Value every Woman in your life

I think everyone might have read abt Mom's, Wife's and Girl's...

Its time to learn something abt Men...

A boy/man  is one of the most beautiful creations of God.

He starts compromising at very tender age. He sacrifices his chocolates for his sister.

     

Later he sacrifices his love for just a smile on his parents face. He sacrifices his love for his wife and children by working late nights.

He builds their future by taking loans from banks and then repaying them for the life time. Thus he sacrifices full youth for his wife and children without any complain.

   

Believe me he struggles a lot but still has to hear the music (scolding) of Mother, wife and his boss. Yet every mother, wife and boss tries to have control over him.

                                   

Finally his life ends up by compromising for others happiness. He is that creature of God who no one can compete with.

   

Respect every boy/man in your life. You will never know what he has sacrificed for you.

 

Just extend your hand when he needs it

Boys also Have Emotions and respect it.

Story about Feelings - Motivational

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived - Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all the others, including Love.

One day, it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean, so they prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed behind. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the very last possible moment.

When the island was almost totally under water, Love decided that it was time ask for help. Just then, Richness was passing by in a very grand boat.

"Richness, can I come with you?" asked Love.

Richness answered: "I am sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on board. There would be no room for you anywhere."

Next, Love decided to ask Vanity, who was sailing nearby in a beautiful vessel, for help. Love cried out, " Vanity, help me, please!"

"I cannot help you," Vanity, said. "You are all wet and will damage my lovely boat."

Just then, Love saw Sadness passing by and quietly called out, "Sadness - please let me go with you."

Sadness answered, "Love, I am sorry, but I just need to be by myself now."

A moment later, Love saw Happiness and cried out, "Please take me with you!" But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling him.

Love began to cry, then heard a voice say, "Come, Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask his name.

When they arrived on land, the elder went on his way. Love realised how much she owed to the elder, so when she met Knowledge she asked who it was that had helped her.

"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

"But why did Time help me when no one else would?"

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, replied: "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is!"

When you decided to quit...

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.

When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. "I would not quit." He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.

Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots.

Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots."

"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. " Don't compare yourself to others .." He said. " The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern .. Yet, they both make the forest beautiful."

Your time will come, " God said to me. " You will rise high! " How high should I rise?" I asked.

How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can? " I questioned.

" Yes. " He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can. "
I left the forest and brought back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

He will never give up on you.
Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give you happiness
Bad days give you experiences;
Both are essential to life.

This is Life - Positive Inspirational

When there is no friend,
When life is on the dead end,
When world is not a paradise,
When your confidence dies,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!


When things don't go right,
When there is no ray of light,
And its too hard to survive,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!


When there is competition to face,
When you are lagging behind in the race,
When you've lost faith in God,
When you're betrayed by a fraud,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!


When others don't respect you,
When you're not amongst the admirable few,
When for a question, you can't find a solution,
When all you're sure about, is confusion,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!


When your destination is miles apart,
When you don't know where to start,
When all you see around is pain,
When your hardwork is in vain,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!


Even though all this happens
just have faith in self & face the life with smile,
Things will surely change one day
Because as said "THIS IS LIFE ... !

Echo - Positive Inpirational story

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, "Ahhhhh."

Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, "Ahhhhh!"

Filled with curiosity, he screams: "Who are you?", but the only answer he receives is: "Who are you?"

This makes him angry, so he screams: "You are a coward!", and the voice answers: "You are a coward!"

He looks at his father, asking, "Dad, what is going on?"

"Son," the man replies, "pay attention!" Then he screams, "I admire you!"

The voice answers: "I admire you!"

The father shouts, "You are wonderful!", and the voice answers: "You are wonderful!"

The boy is surprised, but still can't understand what is going on.

Then the father explains, "People call this 'ECHO', but truly it is 'LIFE!' Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more love! If you want more kindness, give more kindness! If you want understanding and respect, give understanding and respect! If you want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and respect! This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives."

A child's wish

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.


SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"


The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.


The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?  Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."


The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.


We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.


Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.
