A school Teacher wrote on the board the following:
9×1=7
9×2=18
9×3=27
9×4=36
9×5=45
9×6=54
9×7=63
9×8=72
9×9=81
9×10=90
When she was done, she looked to the students and they were all laughing at her, because of the first equation which was wrong. And then the teacher said the following :
I wrote that first one wrong on purpose, because I wanted you to learn something important. This was for u to know how the world out there will treat you. You can see that I wrote RIGHT 9 times, but none of you saw that but you all laughed and criticized me because of one wrong thing I did. So this is the lesson :
In the real world, people will never appreciate the good you do a hundred times, but make one mistake, and they will criticize you and never let you forget it for life.....

There was an old monk who was asking for alms from house to house. He came across a rich and arrogant person. When asked for alms, this man started abusing the monk and giving him bad words.. The monk remained cool, calm and composed however. The rich man started shouting and abusing more as he thought that the monk will lose his temper and react. Still there was no reaction from the monk. This infuriated the rich man and he went close and pushed the monk into the ground. The monk fell and all his belongings scattered. But still the monk did not say anything, collected his things and remained calm. This perplexed the Rich Man so he called him and asked the secret of the monk’s coolness.
The monk did not reply directly, but asked the rich man who was in his car. Sir, whose car is it?
Rich Man: Mine obviously
Monk: If you give me this car whose will it become?
Rich Man: I do not want to give you the car but if I give you the car it will belong to you.
Monk: Good, you want to give but I do not accept the car, then whose will it become?
Rich Man: If you do not accept the car it will be mine, obviously.
Monk: You were rude and gave me so many bad words, I did not accept any. So they are all yours!
What a wonderful message is there in this story. You can control all your emotions or let them control you. Your nature is not built in a day, in how we act, not react.

Some quotes :
Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
Worries does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
A moment of anger can bring a hundred days of sorrow.
Ask, and it will be given you; Seek, and you will find; Knock, and it will be opened to you. - Bible
Lots of folks confuse bad choices with destiny.
To resolve problems or life issues, you really need to know first who you are.
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it's the absence of inner conflict.
It's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Difficulties we meet in life hold the power to open us to higher consciousness.

Something to smile :
A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. You look terrible. "Now you have a wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."
"Well, okay, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?" asked the bartender.
We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. Ma hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
The pirate replied, "Oh, one day we were at sea an a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them pooped in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye from some bird poop. Could you?"
"Well, it was my first day with the hook."
