16 Short Stories Of Greatly Touching Pictures

This afternoon, I got a forwarded mail from an email-friend of mine, Dr Syed Ghulam Nazre Ather. I call him an email-friend because we have never met in person, and got in touch with each other online, through Authorstream, where I share many of my presentations. Since then, we have been exchanging emails and sharing presentations and inspiring articles etc.

I have, over the period of last couple of years, received some amazing emails from him – mails that inspire, mails that teach compassion, mails that are motivating, and above all, highly educating. I have most of his mails safely tucked away in my mail-box and go through them at times when I am looking for inspiration and motivation.

The mail that I received today had a powerpoint attachment called “16 Short Stories Of Greatly Touching Pictures“, and here is what Dr Syed wrote in the covering mail:

“A must see !!!!!! 

These pictures tell a story of humility, brutality, ignorance and helplessness of human being.

Please review and pray that we, in our life time, are able to bring a closure to some of the issues described in these pictures.  

All praise is to Allah SWT.”

Indeed, each of these pictures tell a story, and I have uploaded the powerpoint for you to see right here. I would rather not say anything further, and let the pictures speak for themselves. And speak they do, with loud and clear messages. Please share ahead if you wish.

Life Explained

wolves

 

Manoj, a friend of mine, often sends me some excellent stuff in my mail box. A couple of days ago, he sent me this short story which I thought must be shared. Here it is…

This is the best and shortest explanation of life I have come across!

TWO WOLVES

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

“One is Evil -  It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

“The other is Good -  It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

So which wolf would you like to feed ?

Thought For The Day

Today I would like to share with you two very interesting thoughts on dreaming…

“Your dreams are the blueprints of your soul. They should take you by the hand and lead you toward your life’s purpose and passion. They are one of, if not the greatest, source of self-motivation that you have. So nurture them and feed them inspiration whenever you can.” – Mac Anderson

“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. ”  - T. E. Lawrence

Food for thought…
