khushbu: Inspiration

Repeat post from Ibibo (with some changes)

When things go wrong, as they sometime will,
When the road you're trudging, seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit ...

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about.
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the Goal is nearer than,
it seems to a faint and faltering man.
Often the struggler has given up,
when he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown?

Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Did you know
A MOTORCYCLE CRASH 25 years ago changed AL FOXX from a healthy 19-year old to a person with a brain injury and partial paralysis. After years in rehabilitation, he went from being a hot tar roofer to becoming an extraordinary comic and a widely sought after speaker whose storytelling ability and contagious enthusiasm brings laughter and hope to audiences of all ages—from fortune 500 companies to universities, government agencies, churches, schools and comedy clubs. He is the founder and president of the Winners Don’t Quit Association.
So, don't quit, just give another try, and may be its all yours this time......

Sania Mirza, the hot star

"Everyone dreams of playing Wimbledon and winning it. I am glad this dream came true for me so fast in my career. It feels great after so many years of struggle." -Sania Mirza

Sania Mirza, the hot, emerging talent in Indian sports. Tennis was never so popular in India before Sania's entry. Although Paes, Bhupathi and few others have always done a lot, still, Sania is known for her style, fashion, looks, sincerity and of course tennis.

Sania has always been a role model for women. What I've like about her that although she has been criticized several times by some community for her short dresses, she always remained calm maintaining her dignity and saying, its need of the game, which really is.

She was born on Nov.15, 1986 at Mumbai although brought up at Hyderabad
Strikingly, she is the first Indian to get into first 50 rankings by WTA and obviously the highest ranked female tennis player ever from India. She also became the first Indian woman to reach fourth round of Grand Slam Tournament at US Open 2005. In the same year, she also reached third round of Australian Open and also became the first Indian woman to win a WTA singles title in the Hyderabad Open finals.
At the 2006 Doha Asian Games, She won silver in women's singles and gold in mixed doubles with Laender Paes. She has still lot more to do, lot more to travel for India, for herself and obviously for all of us (her fans).

Get Going Sania, Get Going...

Mother Teresa

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.": Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa, a huminatarian figure, a nobel peace prize laureate, mother of helpless, unloved, uncared... (words feel short to describe her.

She was born in 1910 in Yugoslovakia as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She joined the Sisters of Loreto in 1928. She took the name "Teresa" after St. Teresa of Lisieux, patroness of the Missionaries.

In 1948, she came across an almost half dead woman near Calcutta Hospital. She stayed with her, until she died and then decided to work for Indian women. In 1952, she laid the foundation of "Nirmal Hriday", where she cared for those who were dying because of leprosy, AIDS, or some other deadly disease.

She said that she found Jesus in all of them. For over 50 years, she worked with a cause, a devotion to help the poor and uncared ones. Her selfless help for the poor won her respect throughout the world and she was awarded Nobel Peaceprize in 1979.

Before her death in 1997, she suffered two heart attacks, one of which was severeand a pacemaker was installed. In 1996, she falled and broke her collarbone, suffered from severe malaria, chest infections and finally left all of us on March13,1997.

She was an angel in form of Human. She worked herself selflessly for those whom she didn't know and for those who were not even liked by others. She was a living saint. May she rest in peace.
