Did You Help Someone Today?

     Wherever u live, wherever u go, there r people who need your help: the elderly man or lady who can't rake the leaves or wash the car, that kid who just fell off his bike and looks hurt, the mother who needs someone to watch her kids so she can run to the grocery store. Isn't there something you can do? Not for money, but just that you're a nice person u have a big heart. You can make an unforgettable difference in someone's life, by giving just a little of your time and energy. And the person u helped will never forget it.

     I remember this thing happened with me years ago when my mother-in-law was in hospital for her knee surgery. I used to go every afternoon to accompany her for lunch. I have my coffee n she has her lunch n we chat. I noticed, there was this very old lady in her late 80's next to her bed. She had lunch in front of her but was not able to eat coz of all those antibiotics passing her veins from her right hand. She was looking here n there to find  Nurse so she cud help but as usual, when u need help u'll never find it. So minutes later I went up to her n asked her, "Wud u mind if I feed u?" She said, "i really appreciate if u don't have problem." .....

    
     Couple of days ago I got a message from a dear friend of mine that his Uncle met with a severe accident. Nuthing I cud do but Pray n next day I got the message that he is fine now n surgery was successful. What else I wanted to hear !! There is a saying which goes, "You are always there at a place, at a given time, for a REASON."
     It's so easy to get lost in our own little worlds, worrying abt our own problems. You can do better than that.Take a minute to look around you and notice other people. You have the power to reach out, to care. Use it to help others, and let others help you when u need it. That's what we're here for.

People Are IDIOTS And I Can Prove It !

                                                                       
     On Sunday, the 5th of June, I went to my local library as usual.Usually I take a minimum of 3-4 hours n go to library, because for me the time is never enough in that world. But this particular Sunday I didn't had much time to spent, hardly 1-2 hours. In which I had to pick good chapter books for my kids n spent some reading time with them. Apart from this I was just left with 45 mins. for my own pick-ups. So as I was randomly picking my fiction and non-fiction books, just like that. Usually I read the review n then take, but coz of less time i just picked by the Title of the book, which i never do.
     There was this book which caught my eye, named, "People Are IDIOTS And I Can Prove It !" by Larry Winget. New York Times Bestselling Author of "You're Broke Because You Want To Be".
     I just started reading this book. The first line he addresses this way: "To idiots everywhere. Without them, I would be unemployed." "No matter how smart you are, you spend most of your day being an idiot."
     The first chapter itself, he tries to prove that people are idiots. M wondering what's in the last chapter? I can't wait to finish this book. Because I want to know how he proves it? How is he so sure?
     Will get back to you in the morning with the review and more on this. Till then Good Night and Sleep Tight. :)
