If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine
The meaning of your heart and mine.

And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thought would pleasantly agree
If I knew you and you knew me.

O Lord, our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sport of the sun-flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it -- for our sakes who adore thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make
heavy their steps, water their way with tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the source of love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore, beset, and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen. - Samuel Langhorne Clemens [Mark Twain] (1835-1910)

Have a mosquito attitude ;)
1. When lizard is alive, lizard eats ants. When lizard is dead, ants
eat lizard.

He replied "It was wonderful, Everyone was clapping for me!"
Now that's a Positive Attitude.

Bragging
People who have accomplished something don't have to boast. People who are not bothered about their position in the world don't see the need to brag. People who accept their position and status in the community realize it is fruitless to try to convince others of their superiority.
What kind of people, then, find it necessary to exaggerate their importance or achievements to all and sundry? Those people who feel inferior in some way. They lack self-esteem, self-respect, and self-love.
There are two kinds of self-love that we need to clarify here. One is positive and the other negative.
The positive self-love is loving oneself as Soul, a creation of God. We can love our inner self because it is flawless and faultless. It is a Spark of God.
Those who know this as truth know that to think of themselves as better or more important in any way than anyone else is denying what they know: that every other individual is also Soul and shares the same attributes, power, and love. They are all equal in the sight of God.
Negative Self-love
Negative self-love is vanity: the belief that the person is better in some way than any other individual.
It is a strange phenomenon that vanity gives rise to the inferiority complex that causes bragging. At one level the person believes in his superiority. But at a deeper level he knows that he is inferior in some ways to other people.
This causes uncertainty and the individual is in a state of imbalance a lot of the time. In the presence of other people he tries to prove his superiority, but when he is by him/herself he is plagued by the knowings that he can't live up to the image he assumes in public.
But he can't help him/herself. He must continue his charade or suffer public humiliation. Because his world is built on lies and he has become so accustomed to lying to him/herself and others, he can't bring him/herself to tell the truth about him/herself.
Disadvantages of Bragging
People tire very quickly of hearing someone talking about their achievements to anyone who is forced to listen to them. They remove themselves from the boaster's vicinity at the first opportunity.
The braggart makes few friends because new people he meets are targets for their real or imagined exploits. As soon as the prospective friend realizes that most of what is said is hot air, they beat a hasty retreat. So the braggart has few friends.
Handling Bragging
Bragging only occurs in those people in whom vanity is a major weakness. For most of us the problem is more how to handle a braggart rather than being a braggart ourselves.
The best method is to keep your distance from him/her. If you happen to be caught with him/her, you can excuse yourself and say that you are late for an important meeting and scurry off as soon as possible.
Although one would like to bring the braggart down to earth with cutting remarks about the truth of his/her claims, this would mean we are being caught up in his/her game. We become the victims of our own vanity and anger. Therefore, we won't be doing ourselves any favours. This anger and vanity will come back to cause us trouble some time in the future.

Interesting quotes from Ihengbok Nikita
Don't compare yourself with anyone in this world; if you compare, you are insulting yourself.
No one will manufacture a lock without key;similarly god won't give problems without solutions.
Life laughs at you when you are unhappy...Life smiles at you when you are happy...Life salutes you when you make others happy...
Every successful person has a painful story. every painful story has a successful ending. Accept the pain and get ready for the success.
Easy is to judge mistakes of others. Difficult is to recongnize our own mistakes. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to cover the earth with carpet.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If a problem cannot be solved, what is the use of worrying?
If you miss an opportunity don't fill the eyes with tears. It will hide another better opportunity in front of you.
Mistakes are painful when they happen. But years later collection of mistakes is called experience, which leads to success.
"Changing the face" can change nothing. But "facing the change"can change everything. Don't complain bout others; change yourself if you want peace.
"Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy - in fact, they're almost incompatible; one emotion hardly leaves room for the other. Both at once can produce unbearable turmoil..." - Robert Heinlein
