Here it is!!!!

Pilot - "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land … it’s a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern."

And, after landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

A worldwide survey was conducted by the! UN. The only question asked was:
‘Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?’

The survey was a huge failure, In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’
meant, In India they didn’t know what ‘honest’ meant,
In Europe they didn’t know what ’shortage’ meant, In China they didn’t
know what ‘opinion’ meant,
In the Middle East they didn’t know what ’solution’ meant, In South
America they didn’t know what ‘please’ meant,
And in the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant!

"it did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were questioned by life-daily and hourly. Our answer must consist , not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibilty to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Viktor E Frankl is a world war 2 concentration camp survivor, psychologist by profession. This book discusses how meaning is very important to living life, especially at times when it looks like you are just waiting for a dishonorable death. The above passage says that life does not come with a meaning but we have to give life a meaning by our true actions. For the same set of factors in life, every individual will make a different meaning and this meaning can never be the same for any 2.

Sufferings are part of life. The sooner we accept it and deal with it, better our life will be. Personally I believe, it is through the hard times during sufferings that character is strongly forged.

I knew her when she was more mature,

I heard from many that

she was quite short-tempered in her youth,

she used to be the tit-for-tat type.

In that case,

 it is even more amazing to imagine the personal struggle

 she must have gone through

to make herself a work of art, towards improvement.

She was love personified, ever forgiving,

sympathetic towards the cynics,

empathetic to the sufferings of the less fortunate.

She had the tenacity and persistence to follow her dreams.

Most importantly, she was able to endure when things did not go her way.

She was always there for her family and friends,

always thought of the footprints she left behind,

careful not to hurt another soul or the planet.

She was always trying to perfect herself as a fellow human.

She loved her family but often found difficulty expressing it.

She was involved in a detached way.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it; Who has left the world better than he found it, Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; Whose life was an inspiration; Whose memory a benediction.

Rhythmic waves rise and fall, but never spill.

Each fall followed by a taller wave which also falls.

A successful surfer is riding the highs and the lows with ease.

Oh, How I wish I knew to surf the ocean waves and days like her…
