| Ode to Friendship *CLASSMATES AND THE TRICKERY OF LIFE* There is something both amusing and tragic about classmates. When we are young, sitting side by side on stiff wooden desks, everything feels equal. We wear the same uniforms, complain about the same teachers, and dream the same big dreams. We believe, with the foolish confidence of youth, that life will reward us fairly. That the one who topped the class will top in life, that the one who struggled will always struggle, that effort will always equal success. But life is not a classroom. Life is a trickster, a mischievous storyteller who loves plot twists. Then one day, years later, we meet again at ordinations, weddings, funerals, airports, or by accident at a supermarket. And suddenly, we see what nobody warned us about. The boy who never did his assignments now owns a mansion. The one who won all the academic prizes is still searching for relevance. The one who was always quiet now commands boardrooms, while the one who once led every debate now sits in silence, waiting for an opportunity that refuses to come. And we ask ourselves: how did this happen? Nobody told us that life does not follow the rules of the classroom. That hard work is important, but so is luck. That intelligence is valuable, but connections sometimes matter more. That some rise not because they are the best, but because they were in the right place at the right time. That life does not grade us like exam scripts, it rolls the dice and sometimes, the results are baffling. There is a good side to all of these: no matter how far life scatters us, when classmates meet again, the years disappear. Titles do not matter. Bank accounts do not speak. We laugh over memories of forgotten nicknames, of teachers we swore we would never forget but now struggle to remember. For a brief moment, we return to a time when we were just young with dreams, before life stepped in with its unexpected script. *And just maybe, that is the real lesson: success is not just about who has more, but about who still has a heart that can remember.* |

Here are actual maintenance complaints submittd by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers: P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit S: Something tightened in cockpit P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order.

"When they betray you, it’s as if they’ve cut off your arms—you can forgive them, but you can’t embrace them." — Tolstoy 5. "Nothing reforms a person as much as the memory of their past regrets." — Dostoevsky 6. "Winter is cold for those who have no warm memories, but I believe it is even colder for those who have them without their owners." — Dostoevsky 7. "In my opinion, the best moment in an acquaintance is the one just before farewell." — Dostoevsky 8. "I may not have remarkable victories, but I can amaze you with the defeats I survived." — Chekhov 9.

| Found this story today.. Found it Interesting enough to share... ✍🏻 * Teacher gave a beautiful toffee to all the children of the class and then said a strange thing * 👇🏻 * Listen, children! All of you not to eat your toffee for ten minutes and saying that he walked out of the class room *. * There was silence in the classroom for a few moments, every child was looking at the toffee in front of them and it was difficult to stop themselves with each passing moment. Ten minutes are over and the teacher enters the class room. Reviewed. There were seven children in the whole class, whose toffees were as it is, while all the other children were eating toffee and commenting on its color and taste. The teacher secretly recorded the names of these seven children in his diary and began to read after noting *. * The name of this teacher was Professor Walter Torch *. * After a few years, Professor Walter opened his own diary and removed the names of seven children and started researching them. After a long struggle, he come to know that the seven children have achieved many successes in their lives and are the most successful among their own field people. Professor Walter also reviewed the rest of his class of students and it was found that most of them were leading a normal life, while there were some who were faced with strict economic and social conditions *. * All this effort and research resulted in one sentence by Professor Walter and that was it *. * "A man who cannot be patient for ten minutes can never move forward in life *" * This research gained worldwide prominence and was named "Marsh Mello Theory" because the toffee that Professor Walter gave the children was named "Marsh Mello". It was soft like foam *. According to this theory, one of the most successful people in the world is found with many qualities 'patience', because this quality increases the strength of the human being, due to which the man is not disappointed in difficult situations and he becomes an extraordinary personality. * Patience is the essence of life * 🙏🏻🌷 |
| What's Inside? "'If I were to squeeze this orange as hard as I could, what would come out?' I asked him. He looked at me like I was a little crazy and said, 'Juice, of course.' 'Do you think apple juice could come out of it?' 'No!' he laughed. 'What about grapefruit juice?' 'No!' 'What would come out of it?' 'Orange juice, of course.' 'Why? Why when you squeeze an orange does orange juice come out?' He may have been getting a little exasperated with me at this point. 'Well, it's an orange and that's what's inside." I nodded. 'Let's assume that this orange isn't an orange, but it's you. And someone squeezes you, puts pressure on you, says something you don't like, offends you. And out of you comes anger, hatred, bitterness, fear. Why? The answer, as our young friend has told us, is because that's what's inside.' It's one of the great lessons of life. What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it's because that's what's inside. It doesn't matter who does the squeezing: your mother, your brother, your children, your boss, the government. If someone says something about you that you don't like, what comes out of you is what's inside. And what's inside is up to you, it's your choice. When someone puts the pressure on you and out of you comes anything other than love, it's because that's what you've allowed to be inside. Once you take away all those negative things you don't want in your life and replace them with love, you'll find yourself living a highly functioning life." Wayne Dyer |
| Today I adopted a human... "It broke my heart to see him so alone and confused. I suddenly saw his watery eyes as he looked into mine. So I barked with all my might and went after him, following him from house to house. Finally, I got close enough to touch his hand with my nose. The man smiled and I felt his cold heart begin to warm. I moved closer to his face and felt his tears start to flow. I looked at him and he replied with a beautiful smile. I jumped into his lap excitedly, promising that I would be fine, that I would love him forever, and that I would never leave him. How lucky that he passed by where I was and that we could meet like that. I felt lucky too. So many people have been there, but only he, only he, looked at me. I'm glad he made a choice and that I was able to save his life. I adopted a person." ❤️ |
