I asked God to take away my pain
God said,"no
Its not for me to take it away
but for you to give it up"


I asked God to give me patience
God said,"no
Patience is a by-product of tribulations,It isn't granted
It's earned"

I asked God to give me happiness
God said,"no
I give you blessings
happiness is upto you"

Hi all,
This is a quote from a former australian cricketer and coach, but I think it applies to everyones life. I think hes summed up, the definition of mental toughness very well, something that we all need while studying and pushing ourselves and about having a good work ethic, which makes you want to improve yourself constantly and not just before an exam.

Geoff Marsh, speaking to Rediff.com a couple of years ago, said an interesting thing: "Mental toughness," he said, "is not about guts or glory on the field, it is about what you manage to do when you are off the field. Suppose one morning you wake up and don't feel like going for practice and yet you push yourself to get up and go, that is mental toughness, that is the will to fight your inner weaknesses. When you do what you don't feel like doing, that is when you get tough in the mind, and that is the kind of toughness you need."

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. Enthusiasm is the spark in your eye, the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of your will and your energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters, they have fortitude, they have staying qualities. Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress! With it, there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis. Henry Ford
 
There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.

Embroidering Your Life
When I was little, my mother used to sew a great
deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the floor
and ask what she was doing. She informed me that she was
embroidering.

As from the underside I watched her work within
the boundaries of the little round hoop that she held
in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked
messy from where I sat.

She would smile at me, look down and gently say, "Child,
you go about your playing for a while, and when I am
finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my
knee and let you see it from my side."

I would wonder why she was using some dark threads
along with the bright ones and why they seemed so
jumbled from my view. A few minutes would pass and
hen I would hear Mother's voice say,
"Child, come and sit on my knee."

This I did only to be surprised and thrilled to see
a beautiful flower, or a sunset. I could not believe
it, because from underneath it looked so messy.

Then Mother would say to me, "My child, from
underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you
did not realize that there was a plan on the top.

It was a design. I was only following it. Now look
at it from my side and you will see what I was doing."

Many times through the years I have looked up to
heaven and said, "Father, what are You doing?"

He has answered, "I am embroidering your life."

I say, "But it looks like a mess to me. It seems
so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they
all be bright?"

The Father seems to tell me, "'My child, you go about
your business of doing My business, and one day I
will bring you to Heaven and put you on My knee and
you will see the plan from My side."

Another Fight
Walking into the bar, Harvey said to the bartender, "Pour me
a stiff one, Eddie. I just had another fight with the little woman.".
"Oh yeah," said Eddie. "And how did this one end?".
"When it was over," Harvey replied, "she came to me on her hands
and knees."
"Really? Now that's a switch! What did she say"?
"She said, 'Come out from under that bed, you gutless weasel !!!

The Perfect Girl
A friend asked a gentleman how it is that he never married?

Replied the gentleman, "Well, I guess I just never met the
right woman ... I guess I've been looking for the perfect girl."

"Oh, come on now," said the friend, "Surely you have met at
least on girl that you wanted to marry."

"Yes, there was one girl .. once. I guess she was the one
perfect girl.

The only perfect girl I really ever met. She was just the right
everything .. I really mean that she was the perfect girl for me."

"Well, why didn't you marry her," asked the friend.

"She was looking for the perfect man," he said.
