Happiness is just filled in, check your pass book:

 - Happiness in Life:

She married him today. At the end of the wedding party, her mother gave her a newly opened bank

savings passbook, with Rs.10000 deposited in it. She told her, "My dear daughter, take this passbook. 

Keep it as a record of your married life.

Whenever something happy and memorable happens in your new life, put some money in. Write down 

what it's about next to the amount. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. 

I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with your husband. 

When you look back after many years, you will know how much happiness you've both shared.' 

She shared this with him after getting home. Both of them thought it was a

great idea and couldn't wait to make the next deposit!

This is what the passbook looked like after a while: - 


7Feb: 1000, his first birthday celebration after marriage 


1 Mar: 3000, she gets a salary raise 


20 Mar: 2000, vacation 


15 Apr: 20000, She's pregnant! 


1 Jun: 2000, He gets the big promotion and so on...

However, as the years went by, they began fighting and arguing over trivial things. They didn't talk much.

They regretted that they had married the most nasty person in the world. There was no more love. 

One day she talked to her Mother. 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We have decided to divorce. I can't

 imagine how I decided to marry this guy!' 

Her mother replied, 'Sure, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want, if you really can't stand it. 

But before that, do one thing remember the savings passbook I gave you on your wedding day? 

Take out all money and spend it first.You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor

marriage.' 

She agreed with her mother. So she went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account. 

While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. 

Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to her. Her eyes were filled with tears. 

She left and went home. When she got home, she handed the passbook to her hubby and asked him to 

spend the money before getting divorced. So the next day, he went to the bank, and was waiting in the 

queue to cancel the account. While he was waiting, he took a look at the passbook record. He looked,

 and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to him. His eyes 

were filled with tears. 

He left and went home. He gave the passbook back to her. She found a new deposit of 50000. And a line 

next to the record: 'This is the day I realized how much I've loved you throughout all these years. How much

 happiness you've brought me.' They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back into the safe.0

Marriage is not a game, it's not easy but it's beautiful. You will fight and argue, this is normal, because 

the both of you came from different background, different homes and you both were raised by

different parents, beliefs and moral. So you cannot expect that everything you say will be accepted by your spouse without their opinion being tendered first. So before you give up, think back to the good times 

and to what brought you together in the first place.

Trust you all will like it?

(Mind maps) 10 ways to build emotional intelligence:

Emotional intelligence helps you build stronger relationships, succeed at school and work, and achieve your career and personal goals.

Tokyo Olympics, two sportsmen makes us realise true meaning of joy:

 The scene is the final of men's high jump at the Tokyo Olympics.  Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi was facing Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim in the final.  Both of them jumped 2.37 meters and were on par !  Olympic officials gave three more attempts to each of them, but they were unable to reach more than 2.37 meters. One more attempt was given to two both of them, but Tampberi withdrew from the last attempt due to a serious leg injury.  The moment when there was no other opponent in front of Barshim, the moment when he could have easily approached the gold alone ! But Barshim asked the official "if the gold can be shared between the two of us if I withdraw from the final attempt ?"  The official checks and confirms and says "yes then the gold will be shared between the two of you".  Barshim then had nothing to think about, announces withdrawal from the last attempt. Seeing this, the Italian opponent Tamberi ran and hugged Barshim and screamed !  What we sa...

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?

 - Is anybody happier  because you passed his way? Does anyone remember  that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over,  and its toiling time is through;  Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along? Or a churlish sort of "Howdy"  and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way,  Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;  Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? Source:  taken from Edgar Albert Guest poem. Reflection of above poem: "Is anybody happier because you passed his way?" is a po...

I began to realize that life is beautiful because of the world'

- Wise words - 1 In a relationship,  It is not a question of whose mistake it is. It is a question of whose life!  I cannot get a family atmosphere and life right,  by blaming others. It does not matter who is right or who is wrong.  What's important is the peace in the family Life. What really matters is that I got to get my life right.  It's never too late.  So, instead of expecting the world to turn,  I turned myself.  I began the process of demolishing my ego; which is a continuous process.  Instead of accepting myself as I am and expecting the world to change,  I accept the world as it is and it is  I who started to change. A Change For The Better...  Changing my approach towards the family, towards the world. I began to realize that life is beautiful because of the world,  as it is...  Also, I let life be beautiful in spite of the world. Our Family atmosphere needs it.  Losing the argument is better than lo...

We find several opportunities to be nice and kind on a daily basis, we just need to tap:

 It was a beautiful British Summer day the day before. An Afro- Caribbean man was standing in a long queue for the ice cream shop at Knowsley Safari Park.  I asked him if he wanted to know a secret? He said NO!  Despite that I told him that if he goes to the other side, he will find another window and there’s no queue! He found it hard to trust me, believe and act. Yet, I persisted and advised him to go check and let me know if that’s not the case. I shall hold his place reserved for him in the long queue. He went, confirmed the information was true and came back to thank me. Later on, I found him in another queue for bumping 🚗. He greeted me with a smile and thanked again. I also found that Umar, my 5 year old son was playing tag with his children and his father was now my trustworthy friend as I was for him. Those around me were surprised to see that I had friends in a totally unknown place!  We find several opportunities to be nice and kind on a daily basis. Litt...

Greatness by Evolution vs Revolution:

 - Greatness by Evolution vs Revolution: Every human has got his own individual uniqueness and goodness, through which he can benefit himself as well as the entire society. Reaching the Pinacle of Mount Everest does not happen headlong. It does happen day by day, step by step. You too can move towards your own personal mountaintop by taking each step at a time. The Everest climbers don’t jump up to the summit. No, they climb it bit by bit. There is a great amount of dissatisfaction among the people that they don't change even after going through a lot of life coaching seminars and other life skills workshops. What actually we need is we need to know really where we are struck in our micro steps. We have to clearly understand where are we getting struck and what actual solution and approach we need to follow in our each tiny step. Be it an improvement in work efficiency, bettering relationship, managing personal tasks well etc etc. I had this question in mind, there are tons of moti...

*Dealing With Short Tempered People!*:

- Ibn al-Jawzī said: “When your companion becomes angry and says something that is unwarranted, you should not take it too hard. His situation is that of a drunken person who is not aware of what is taking place. Instead, be patient, even if it means only for a little while. If you reciprocate his words with harsh words of your own, you become like the sane person who seeks revenge on a madman, or the conscious person who seeks retribution from an unconscious one. Look at him with a merciful eye and pity him for his actions.” ‎● [سيد الخاطر صحفة ٤٠٦] Source: received through whatsapp message
