My Timing Is Perfect

Are we too serious about our lives that we forget to smile everyday? I asked a few of my contacts to share with me one instance that brought smile for the day. Few of them never bothered to reply, a few of them replied with ease and the rest of them found it hard to think of the fact even if they did smile for that day and gosh last category did not smile for that day at all. Since my school days i keep asking a few questions to myself, one such is this - what did i enjoy most and smiled today. To my surprise the simplest thing in this world would have bought me that joy and laughter. Buying anything for self or others may still not bring that joy. So does money. I hope i have kindled that thought in some of them to live the day with the intention to bring that smile on your face. I am sure it will in the long run, bring a thousand watt effect on your face. Wishing you a happy smily new year :)

What made me write again after a long time was this following message I received. While i have not checked the authenticity of the african word - ubuntu. I still decided to share this out here. An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids of African tribal children. He placed a basket of fruits near a tree. He made them stand 100 meters away. Announced that who ever reaches first would get all the fruits in the basket. When he said ready steady go.. They all caught each others hands and ran towards the tree together and divided the fruits among them and ate the fruits and enjoyed it. When the anthropologist asked them why they did so? They said " unbuntu" Which meant how can one be happy when all the others are sad? Unbuntu in their language means 'iam because, we are!' After reading this message, my mind ran many folds in todays way of living and teaching children in school. First thing i hear parents tel to children..  Eat fast lets see who finishe
