You remind me of........

Friendship
You remind me of a flower,
Pretty, inside and outside.
A reason why people smile everyday,
A gift to all.

You remind me of chocolate,
Luscious and sweet.
Someone people can turn to in crisis,
Loved by all.

You remind me of a teddy,
Cute and huggable.
Someone people feel comfortable with,
Special to all.

You remind me of a balloon,
Happy and bouncy.
Someone people can have fun with,
Enjoyed by all.

You remind me of a lot of things,
But nothing can compare to the real person,
A friend I can look up to,
Cherished by me.

- Jenny Yu -

You are.......

Friendship
You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.

Some of the favourite Sidhuism's

Kaanton mein reh ke bhi,
Phoolon ki tarah mehahna seekho,
Keechad mein reh ke bhi doston,
Kamal ki tarah khilna seekho,
Jo paristhitiyon se ghabra jaye,
Wo loh purush ho nahin sakta,
Rakh mein reh ke bhi,
Angaron ki tarah dehakna seekho
================
Is duniya mein sheron ko bhi azadi hai, sapon ko bhi azadi hai,
Sapon ko azadi hai har baste ghar mein basne ki,
Unke sir mein zehar bhi hai aur aadat bhi hai dasne ki
================
Jis ped pe phal lage hote hain, aadmi pathar marta hi usi ko hai,
No one kicks a dead dog
================
Andheron ka dard kya jane jo khud sitare hain,
Doobne ki tees kya jane jo khud kinare hain,
Aag ke darya mein doobne ka dard Ganguly se seekho,
Ganguly ne kayi ujde huye gulshan saware hain
================
Kabhi bhool se bhi kisi se na karna salook aisa,
Jo koi tumse karta tumhe na gawar hota
================
Har deen dukhi man mein umang tumhe bharni hai,
Har aasha heen hridya mein tarang tumhe bharni hai,
Are Mahabharat to Sir har yug ki atal zaroorat hai,
Ban ke Arjun, Sachai ki jang tumhe ladni hai
================
Duniya mein sabse bada rog "mere bare mein kya kahenge log?",
Insaan chadphadata hai, are yaar usne mere liye ye keh diya ,
Sari raat so nahin pata hai,
Main kehta hoon ki jo asli achiever banta hai,
Jo zindagi mein apne paon ki chaap chod ke jata hai,
Woh aadmi hai jo apne zehan ko jawabdeyi ho jata hai
=================
Har kyun ka jawab nahin hota,
Har chehra lajawab to nahin hota,
Are bhanware se ja ke poocho har phool pe baithta hai,
Are har phool gulab to nahin hota
=================
Bhagwan ki Kripa hai,
Laloo kare kawaliyan Rab sidhiyan pave
=================
Bulbulon ke pankhon mein bandhe huye kabhi baaz nahin rehte,
Buzdilon aur kayron ke haathon mein kabhi Raj nahin rehte,
Sar jhuka kar chalne ki aadat pad jaye jis insaan ko,
Us insaan ke sar pe kabhi Taj nahin rehte
=================
Jo bhara nahin hai bhavon se behti jisme rasdhar nahin,
Woh hridya nahin hai pathar hai jisme Swades ka pyar nahin
=================
As hopeless as a like a one-legged person at a bum kicking competition
=================
You are so unlucky that if you spend a night in a barrel of nipples,
You will still come out licking your thumb
=================
As helpless as a midget at a urinal
=================
Hum aaye nahin hain, Hame bulaya gaya hai,
Jo bina bulaye aate hain wo tsunamni ya tufaan hote hain,
Jo nyote par bulaye jate hain wahi asli mehmaan hote hain
=================
Between Yesterday's REGRET and Tommorrow's HOPE,
Is Today's OPPORTUNITY

The Only Thing You Get In Life Without Trying is dandruff

Hope & Patience Always Win

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn't quit, look no further.
Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and he became one of the greatest presidents in America's history.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
 
Here is a sketch of Lincoln's road to the White House:
 
    * 1816 His family was forced out of their home. He had to work to support them.
    * 1818 His mother died.
    * 1831 Failed in business.
    * 1832 Ran for state legislature - lost.
    * 1832 Also lost his job - wanted to go to law school but couldn't get in.
    * 1833 Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of he year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt.
    * 1834 Ran for state legislature again - won.
    * 1835 Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was broken.
    * 1836 Had a total nervous breakdown and was in bed for six months.
    * 1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature - defeated.
    * 1840 Sought to become elector - defeated.
    * 1843 Ran for Congress - lost.
    * 1846 Ran for Congress again - this time he won - went to Washington and did a good job.
    * 1848 Ran for re-election to Congress - lost.
    * 1849 Sought the job of land officer in his home state - rejected.
    * 1854 Ran for Senate of the United States - lost.
    * 1856 Sought the Vice-Presidential nomination at his party's national convention - get less than 100 votes.
    * 1858 Ran for U.S. Senate again - again he lost.
    * 1860 Elected president of the United States.

Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it…….
It does mean it will take a little longer.
 
Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you……
It does mean God has a better idea.
