It is OK if you are a rogue.

It is OK if you are a rogue.
It is Ok if you are good.
What is not OK is to keep projecting yourself as an angel and to live as a rogue.

When a rogue is a rogue it makes a lot more people act in responsible ways to protect the world. 
But when a rogue lives in the guise of an angel, it shakes the very roots of trust. 
You no more know whom to believe and whom not to believe.

To claim to be faithful to your spouse and get indulged in extra marital affairs,
To claim to be responsible politician but to be ruthlessly corrupt,
To act as a spiritual guru in front of masses and be indulged in scandals,
Etc...

Either be courageous Duryodhana who had the courage to admit - I know what I am doing is wrong but I cannot retire from it ,
Or be a Valmiki who transformed himself from being a thief,
Or just continue to be the wonderful human being you are .

If you must stab, do it from the front.
Do not call yourself a friend and stab from behind.

Either be aggressively bad or preferably be aggressively good.

Are you grateful?

A man reached 70 years of age and was affected by a disease which made him unable to urinate. 

The doctors told him that he needs an operation to cure the disease. 

He agreed to do the operation as the problem was giving him severe pain for days. 

When the operation was completed the doctor gave him a bill which covered all the costs. 

After looking at the bill, the man started crying. Upon seeing this, the doctor said "If the cost is too high then we could make some other arrangements for you.

"The old man replied, "I am not crying because of the money but I am crying because GOD let me urinate for 70 years and He never sent me a bill!"

Have you thanked GOD for His countless blessings today? 

Have you thought about the cost of oxygen in the hospital? Yet, GOD has given us free oxygen (air) since we were born.

Can we not see that GOD  is so gracious, merciful and full of compassion?

If you are truly grateful to GOD for your life, share this message with others, not because you expect a blessing but because you are grateful.

I'm grateful!!!

Best Grown Corn

There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the award for the best grown corn. 

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.

“Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”

So is with our lives... 
Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all...

-Call it power of collectivity...
-Call it a principle of success...
-Call it a law of life.

The fact is, none of us truly wins, until we all win!!
