Self help is the only way out !

I believe in the saying :- People's need for help today -metally & physically, spiritually & materially -is perhaps greater and more urgent than ever before.Yet however may others  try to help-in the long run it is only the person himself -who can work out his  salvation.And that is SELF HELP which men and women need today.Even the most powerful man in the world is bound to feel this at times !

What is the way to more splendid living ?

Everyone is fighting for battle in life. The real struggle is an inward struggle & conflict. It is a battle of reason against unreason. In other words the conflict of faith and doubt. It is also a fight between courage and despair !

When Titanic went down.....!

Although he was in the ice cold water for quite sometime-the  alcohol inside his body finally saved him.(A newspaper source )

Useless fears !

Two friends were travellig  through a dence forest.One was very  nervous and saw phatoms in every corner. The other was stronger  than him. When  they were practically at the end of their journey they saw somethig unusual. The weaker of the two fainted. The other one  though frightend  determined to stand his ground and face it. Finally the moon came out and he found it to be a piece of paper floating in the air. The darkness was the the cause of this. This often happens in our lives too. Things that frighten us the most are frequetly those  of which  we should be least afraid !
