The Present

Quality of enjoying life is great in rural areas. People like to LIVE for the present.

Somedays back, My friend gave these beautiful words from Helen Keller...

Be of good cheer.
Do not think of today's failures,
but of the success that may come tomorrow.
You have set yourselves a difficult task,
but you will succeed if you persevere;
and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles.
Remember, no effort that we make to attain
something beautiful is ever lost

These are golden words to enjoy Today's life. Present is the only one which is under our control. While writing the previous line two books come to my mind. One is "The precious present" by spencer johnson and another is "...Hang up... " by Dr. Schuller. I've read the first book fully. Have read few pages on second book in a bookshop ;-)

The precious present deals with present life. It has story with a meaning in it. The other one helps to come out from any of life long addicted habbits. There was a small story that told me the root cause of terrorism. A guy got addicted to Alcohol just because of an earthquake. It was a night where earthquake came continuosly.. He saw his parents, whom he felt secure now don't have control on anything. Whole city don't have control on anything for the whole night. This teriffic experience changed his entire life..

Hope, his life would have been changed if he happened to read Helen keller's words in that time.
