audrey, jyotsna,<\/p>\n
Do not pray for easy lives.<\/p>\n
Pray to be stronger..<\/p>\n
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.<\/p>\n
Pray for power equal to your tasks.<\/p>\n
Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle.<\/p>\n
But you shall be a miracle.<\/p>\n
Every day you shall wonder at yourself,<\/p>\n
at the richness of life which has come to you<\/p>\n
by the grace of God.<\/p>\n
Not in doing what you like<\/p>\n
but in liking what you do<\/p>\n
is the secret of happiness.<\/p>\n
James . M. Barrie<\/p>\n
If education takes us<\/p>\n
beyond classrooms and books,<\/p>\n
libraries and laboratories<\/p>\n
through the corridors and archways of life<\/p>\n
the way it best be lived,<\/p>\n
then and only then<\/p>\n
will it have imparted to us<\/p>\n
its most precious gift.<\/p>\n

Principles and values we stand for and live by<\/p>\n
cannot be accessed from books<\/p>\n
or downloaded off the\u00a0net<\/p>\n
in a “cut and paste”\u00a0 processing.<\/p>\n
They are\u00a0subtly and deeply<\/p>\n
absorbed by us from the lives<\/p>\n
of parents, teachers and exemplary people<\/p>\n
that God, in His goodness,<\/p>\n
places all around us.<\/p>\n

Our lives mirror<\/p>\n
the grace and beauty and goodness<\/p>\n
of people in whose company<\/p>\n
we have grown up.<\/p>\n

Everyone who meets you,<\/p>\n
even if it be your enemy,<\/p>\n
should leave your presence<\/p>\n
more peaceful for having met you.<\/p>\n

Being a winner<\/p>\n
is more about<\/p>\n
running your fastest<\/p>\n
than about<\/p>\n
coming first in the race.<\/p>\n

Children have an amazing<\/p>\n
and sometimes disturbing way<\/p>\n
of teaching\u00a0parents and\u00a0grown ups<\/p>\n
not to take anything for granted…<\/p>\n

Do not let a passing butterfly<\/p>\n
take you away from<\/p>\n
the flower you are meditating on…<\/p>\n

Weather is a great<\/p>\n
metaphor for life –<\/p>\n
sometimes it’s good,<\/p>\n
sometimes it’s bad, and<\/p>\n
there’s nothing much<\/p>\n
you can do about it but<\/p>\n
carry an umbrella.<\/p>\n
