JOKES AND INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

Joke 1:
An opposition party news channel was telecasting a programme regarding recent climate changes. One of the highly enthusiastic party supporter yelled, “Such climatic changes, we didn’t face, when we our party was ruling!”

Joke 2:
A teacher explained, “Team work, an intelligent habit which wise men encourage, foolish men discourage.” A student rose and spoke, “That’s the reason, why invigilators in exam-hall disturb teamwork while students propagate teamwork.”

Short but strong sentences:
Power of buildings are rooted in their foundations, power of humans are rooted in their thought directions.


Number of sleepless, enthusiastic, hardworking nights before success, will destroy number of sleepless, deprived, frustrated nights after failures.

Simple men – use and think of time, super men – think and use time.

People become miniature creatures, when they are viewed from high buildings, but maximise equal in size, when they are viewed from same level. Similarly, problems in life become simple and minute when we observe them from higher level of thinking.

Cowardice becomes a positive nature, when we fear of actions that inflict pains on others.

Courage becomes negativity, when we don’t fear to earn material gains through selfish intensions.

CASTE DISCRIMINATION – BREEDER OF DEVIL’S MIND

A child during vacation holidays went to his grandparent’s house. With just two members, there were large numbers of metal plates in the gigantic house. Yet, the household servants had separate plastic plates for their consumption. Unknowing the difference in plate usage, the child asked his grandfather, “Papa, why our servants use different plates? Can they use the same metal plates as we utilise.” The grandfather replied in vanity, “Son, it is because they are lower in status compared to us, so, they use cheaper plates.”

Next day, the child deliberately in the absence of the grandparents tasted meals and without finding any difference went to his grandfather and exclaimed, “Oh papa, I couldn’t experience any difference in taste of food which status has created.”

In earth, we can find only two different types of men:
One, who treats everyone with equal vision – breeder of God’s mind,
Two, who observes disparities between men – breeder of devil’s mind.


After few years of world formation, three sources of water river-water, sea-water and well-water started to quarrel, in order to establish their superiority. The god incarnated on earth, to defuse the tension prevailing between the sources to save lives on earth. The God’s solution left a powerful impact which made the water sources to live in equanimity till date. The god’s reply was: “To know the most superior of the three, raise your intelligence to know your life-cycle, you will identify equality in existence.”
The god’s answer enlightens a deep intellectual inference which apprises us as follows: “In earth, water may be placed in sea, river, well or even in ditch. But, as they evaporate into water vapour, they become equal in the nature without their reference to the place of presence on earth. Similarly, we humans may differ in caste, creed, status, colour, etc. on earth, but, as we die and reach higher intelligence we become devoid of earthly habitat, become equal without difference. This is the rule of life.”

TITBITS OF THOUGHTS IV

Greater our position in life, greater carefulness or consciousness are needed in the relationship with others.

A food shows its taste until it stays in tongue; similarly, the failure attitude deprives us until it stays in our thoughts.

Everything has its own importance:
Chapels have its importance, when we walk through severe, hot barren lands,
Umbrella may lay useless for number of days, but strikes us with importance during rainy days.
- So, are people and our relationship with them.


For a man stricken with long thirst, what matters is quantity not quality of drinking water.

Those who do after failures are those who won’t fail after successive successes.

TITBITS OF THOUGHTS III

We can’t succeed others because we don’t know other’s strength, but we can succeed ourselves because we know our strength.

What may appear small to a rich, may appear big to a poor. So, even small expressions of actions towards indignant souls may magnify into large emotional satisfactions in poor’s mind.

What is more valuable is not how much we give to others but with what attitude we give to others.

If we value ourselves low, we are underestimating. If we value others high, we are overestimating.

Many aspire to succeed but some finite men inspire to succeed.

The greatest miracles in life are not accomplishment of great successes but creating great successes after great failures.

My college has number of motivational quoted wall-boards in which one states: “Character is more praised than talents, because most talents are inborn, while character is development by persistence, diligence, determination, hard work etc.”

QUOTE: "The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, “I wish someone would come by and turn me on.” What if they don’t show up? You’ve got to have a better plan for your life." - Jim Rohn

TENDER HEART’S GIFT

This was first time, a seven-year old child troubling her mother. She said arrogantly, “I won’t eat anything. I won’t do any of my homework. I won’t do anything, whatever you insist!” There was a strong confrontation between her and her mother.

The father returned after his work. The mother screamed, “Your beloved daughter has become so naughty, how difficult it is for me to deal with her. First, try to manage her!” The child being father’s pet, moved towards him and said, “Father, I will do whatever you command, provided you give me fifty rupees!”

Never before his child had behaved like this. Her intense action for sake of money was difficult to comprehend for this empathetic father. He thought, “My child might desire money for just enjoying ice-creams or chocolates. We can guide her, if she is diverted in wrong track!” So, Next day, the father followed the child without showing his identify, when she was moving towards the school. As the father thought, she moved towards the ice-cream parlour, but she didn’t go inside, but she approached a blind child begging for money near the parlour and placed fifty rupees on its plate. After expressing her noble action, she moved towards the school gracefully. The father who followed to teach, but was taught, by his child’s action. The father stood with pride on observing his child’s attitude and felt as if, an angel had born as daughter.

The child’s actions might be questionable but not her intensions. Great are men who live for others and die for others.
