The happiness within changes even hopeless situations into hopeful ones.

Contemplation:
There is so much power in being happy that even in the most hopeless
situations we can keep ourselves peaceful and happy. When we are able to
maintain this stage we will find that things change for the better too.
Our hope will work to change the situation.

Application:
Let me think of a situation that I am not happy with. Let me then make
sure that I accept the situation as it is without expecting it to
change. This acceptance will give me the faith that things are happening
for the best. With this faith even the most hopeless situation will turn
positive.

Better And Better

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his
employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business
and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended
family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could
get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if
he could build just one more house as a personal favor.

The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart
was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used
inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work the employer came to inspect the
house. He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This house I
built or you and is your house," he said, "my gift to you for all the
good work you did for me over the years."

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was
building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. So it
is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less
than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to
live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we'd do it
much differently. But we cannot go back.

You are the carpenter. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or
erect a wall. "Life is a do-it-yourself project," someone has said.
Your attitudes and the choices you make today, build the "house" you
live in tomorrow.

[size=18][/1 Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2 hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
3 wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
4 thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
5 finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended
6 measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7 breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
8 vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9 knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
10 classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
11 dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
12 promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
13 executed as soon as possible.

Addendum: That idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote the
report
sent to you earlier today. Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.

The Power of Women
There were eleven people hanging on to a rope that extended down from
helicopter - ten men and one woman. The weight of eleven people was too
much for the rope. So, the group decided that one person would get off
because if the weight on the rope wasn't reduced, the rope would break
and everyone would die. No one could decide who should go, so finally the
Woman volunteered.She gave a touching speech saying she would give up her life to save the others, because women were used to giving up things for their husbands and children.
When she finished speaking all the men started clapping, Never Underestimate the Power of .a Woman.

Man and Woman
An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is
nothing,"
on
the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.
The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

There was a gentleman walking with two heavy
suitcases in an airport terminal.Someone approached
and asked him what time it was. The gentleman bends
down to park the two heavy suitcases and stares at
his watch. But this was no ordinary watch. He
touches a tiny button and his administrative
assistant's face appears. He asks her,"Mary, what
time is it?" Mary answers instantly and with a
smile!

The questioner is thoroughly impressed!!! He
asks,"What kind of a watch is that?" "It's like a TV
with two-way real-time communication," the gentleman
explains. He adds that the watch is the latest
technology with Intel's brand new 128-bit chip with
processor speed of 10 Gigahertz.

The onlooker is now quite impressed and wanted to
know if he could buy this watch from the gentleman.
They agree on a price and the cash was handed
immediately. The gentleman takes his watch out and
hands it over and then walks away. The new owner stares at the two
heavy suitcases and shouts, "Sir, you forgot your
suitcases."

The gentleman stops, smiles, and replies, "No, they
are yours now. They are the modems U need for your
new watch !!
