Sharpening our Axe

In this mail,
a) A case that might help you
b) Prayers for a few and
c) a quote which might inspire you
 
 
Friends,
Nice meeting you after a long time.
 
A few days ago, I received a phone call from a person who introduced himself as a student of mine and expressed wish to meet me for a help which he said he shall tell personally.
Over tea, he shared a few difficulties which showed that he needed fine tuning in some basic habits.
Seeing that he was the managing director of an important retail outlet in the town and being careful that the suggestions to be given to him should be effective and not very time consuming, I got the help from one of the most effective diplomats of the history and a person whose life history itself is a great inspiration to anyone who reads - Benjamin Franklin.
 
Of the so many things we learn from the great person, His way of imbibing values is the greatest - I feel.
 
He had conceived 13 virtues and also gave a simple definition which helped him as well as all those who wished to follow it by reading it regularly. I suggested 3 virtues from Benjamin Franklin's list and suggested to stick to them. This shall bring in steady and sure positive changes in life.
 
I'm sending this to you so that you might find an use of this in your life too.

 

2.      "SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation."

 

3.      "ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time."

 

4.      "RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve."

Saradha thiruvengadam, a seven months old baby is diagnosed with a tumour.
Seven months old, so tender, so lovable......
She is privileged to have parents who can afford a treatment for her and she is already admitted in a very good hospital.
But her parents are trying to gather one thing what the doctor had advised - - prayers. This mail too is in that attempt only. pls pray for the kid and her parents.
 
A good friend of mine, by some mistake in the past was blackmailed, humiliated, forced out of work and now in deep stress, out of work and directionless......
I refrain mentioning her name for reasons which you can understand.
Please pray for her, strength and courage to come over this difficult situation, stability for her tomorrow, and peace - which is most important for her.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own, and you know what you know.
And you are the one who'll decide where you'll go."

===============================================================================

I shall keep in touch with you, as always.
And I know, your sms, mails and all forwarded messages - help keep spreading the message of friendship,
May God bless you and your dears,
Baladheepak AC
