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?

Beyond the Clock: Reclaiming Our Most Precious Hours for Family:

- The sun climbs, painting the morning sky with hues of promise. For many, that daily ascent marks not the beginning of personal pursuits, but the quiet march towards another workday. From **8 AM to 5 PM**, five days a week, the most vibrant, energetic hours of our lives are often exchanged for the steady hum of the office. This isn't just a block of time; it's the very core of our waking, productive selves, poured into tasks and targets that shape our careers, but often leave precious little for the dreams that stir outside the cubicle walls. Think of it. These are the hours when the mind is sharpest, the body most resilient, the spirit most eager. It's when children are at school, when the daylight holds the most potential for outdoor adventures, creative projects, or simply quiet reflection. Yet, for nearly a decade or two, sometimes even longer, this prime segment of our existence is dedicated to the demands of professional life. We arrive, often before the world fully...

Improving your perspective-taking skills can help you build stronger relationships:

- Ever notice how sometimes it feels like other people just don't get you? Or maybe you've had that feeling about someone else? A lot of this comes down to something called "perspective-taking"—basically, the ability to see things from someone else's point of view. It's like trying to walk in their shoes for a bit. But it turns out, this isn't always easy, and many of us struggle with it. So, why is it so hard to see things from another person's perspective, and what can we do about it? What is Perspective-taking: Perspective-taking is the ability to understand another person's thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is an essential skill for building empathy, compassion, and understanding in our relationships. However, many people struggle with perspective-taking. There are several reasons why this might be the case. Why some people lack it: One reason is that people may be too focused on their own thoughts and feelings. When we are constan...

Judging Others: (Poem)

- Judging Others: Sadly, we are always critiqued, By the people that we know. By title or occupation, And by the possessions that we show. We judge by skin colour, Or by awards received. By the denomination, And by what we believe. We're judged by what we spend, Or by what we give. We're judged by age and gender, And by where we live. We're judged by our past, And by our education, By the language that we speak, Or by our nation. We evaluate cosmetically. We judge both fat and small. We judge by ones appearance. Fact is, we judge it all! Some judge because they're paid to. Some judge intentionally. Some judge to build self worth, Some judge unwillingly. BEWARE, for there is only One, Who evaluates every stain and smudge. Good luck amateur critics of humans, When you face that Wise & Mighty Judge! Source: received through WhatsApp message

Goodness of compassion at work:

Snippets : - Compassion is, the deep awareness of the suffering of another, coupled with the wish to relieve it. - By some measures, up to 70 percent of people don’t feel like anyone cares about them when they go to work every day. That leaves them emotionally out in the cold. They may physically show up, but psychologically they’re checked out. - Compassion fuels the capability for high-quality service delivery, better innovation, collaboration, and adaptation to change. - Compassion is actually a 4-part human experience. Compassion always begins with noticing suffering—an attentional component— and then interpreting that suffering as relevant to work and worthwhile for us to respond. Then comes empathy—a form of concern for the other person’s well-being, which motivates action to alleviate suffering, which is the fourth part of compassion at work. Click to read from source :

The Bridge of "Sorry":

- The Closed Door and a Quiet "Sorry" A story to remind us the power of sorry: Raj had left his charger bag in the training building earlier. Returning late, he found the main door locked. He knocked repeatedly. Finally, the caretaker, a stern Mr. Verma, opened it, his face tight with annoyance. "What's the commotion?" Mr. Verma grumbled, glancing past Raj at another resident, Ravi, who had been startled by the loud knocking. He'd assumed Raj was trying to barge in. " Mr. Verma, I'm so sorry, " Raj said quickly, his voice sincere. "I didn't mean to disturb anyone with the late knocking." Instantly, Mr. Verma's expression softened. The annoyance faded. "Ah, it's you, Raj. No worries, son. For a moment, I thought you were just being inconsiderate. But that 'sorry'… it makes all the difference, eh?" He offered a small smile, the tension gone. Ravi nodded in agreement. Raj retrieved his bag, the brief moment...

A leader who was not tempted by the fashion or the praise of people:

- A story of ANGELA MERKEL a chancellor of GERMANY when her nation BID FAREWELL to her during end of her term. With six minutes of warm applause, on the streets, balconies, windows, the whole Country applauded for 6 minutes - spectacular example of leadership and defense of humanity, chapeaux ! Image source: https://getlighthouse.com/ The Germans elected her to lead them, and she led 80 million Germans for 18 years with *competence, skill, dedication and sincerity*. *She did not utter nonsense.

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...
