Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Dear All these lines caught my attention.. hope you too like them wishing a wonderful Shravani Poornima , with regards, triptika Paradox of life The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but less solutions; more medicine, but less wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose to just hit delete. -Author Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Dear Triptika, Nice one ! But as Poet Haiwansharay Bachhan has said "Hai Andheri Rat Par Diya Jalana kab Mana Hai ? " in his famous poem Andereka Deepak, Why not all of us create a world full of mutual Trust , belief , Credibility and friendship which does not have any financial strings attached. And as Steven Covey has said in his famous book 7 Habits of effective people, why not create "emotional bank balances" which has huge "credits" in it ? Best part is you do not have to wait for others to act or for situation around you to change. You can bring this change right within yourself , with all communications you make and you would see the difference. Regards, Anil - triptika Saturday, August 28, 2004 12:20 PM AH !!!!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Dear Triptika, Nice thoughts from unkown author but if there is something bad there is also good. No matter how much bad is all around but eventually there is sunlight after a night.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 O' nice to see others on this board who've heard about Steve Covey. His books were a required reading in one of my management classes at the University.
