Are we ready?

When i thought of starting a blog, my intention was to talk to myself, which is very rare now a days. I want to reinvent myself as a new person. And here I am!!! I am feeling so great.

This is an email that i received from one of my freinds....its a story from the book "Chicken soup for the Soul"
This  post is to remind myself about what i need to give back to this society, why i have been created as a unique person"
A college professor had his sociology class go into the Baltimore slums to get case histories of 200 young boys. They were asked to write an evaluation of each boy's future. In every case the students wrote, "He hasn't got a chance." Twenty-five years later another sociology professor came across the earlier study. He had his students follow up on the project to see what had happened to these boys. With the exception of 20 boys who had moved away or died, the students learned that 176 of the remaining 180 had achieved more than ordinary success as lawyers, doctors and businessmen.
The professor was astounded and decided to pursue the matter further. Fortunately, all the men were in the area and he was able to ask each one, "How do you account for your success?" In each case the reply came with feeling, 'There was a teacher."
The teacher was still alive, so he sought her out and asked the old but still alert lady what magic formula she had used to pull these boys out of the slums into successful achievement.
The teacher's eyes sparkled and her lips broke into a gentle smile. "It's really very simple," she said. "I loved those boys."

Imagine if a teacher can make this much difference in those kid’s life how much difference we can make as a mother/father/son/daughter/brother/sister in our own family itself.

Mother Theresa Said “I think today the world is upside down and is suffering so much because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life. We have not time for our children, we have no time for each other, there is no time to enjoy each other.”

“Love begins at home; love lives in homes, and that is why there is so much suffering and so much unhappiness in the world today…. Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parent have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world”

“Don’t wait for leaders to it; do it alone, person to person”
