A Love Story

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. 

This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. 

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future doesn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so they went their own ways there and then... 

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself. 

Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company ... 

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's parents. 

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car, home  etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside her... 

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They explained,she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him. 

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wanted 
her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her gain...he can take some of those back with him... 

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever. The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her ever again.........hope you understand. 

Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing to you.

What He Valued Most

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door.
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls,
career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across
the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy
life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to
spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing
could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The
funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old
newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

"Jack, did you hear me?"
"Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of
him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.

"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were
doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of
the fence' as he put it," Mom told him.

"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.

"You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make
sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said.

"He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this
business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me
things he thought were important...Mom, I'll be there for the funeral,"
Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his
hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no
children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to
see the old house next door one more time.

Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing
over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house
was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture,
every piece of furniture....Jack stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked.

"The box is gone," he said.

"What box? " Mom asked.

"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I
must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell
me was 'the thing I value most,'" Jack said.

It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered
it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had
taken it.

"Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better
get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom."

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from
work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required
on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within
the next three days," the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and
looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was
difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention.

"Mr. Harold Belser" it read.

Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There
inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read
the note inside.

"Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack
Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life." A small key was taped
to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack
carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold
pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing,
he unlatched the cover.

Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks for your time!
Harold Belser."

"The thing he valued most...was...my time."

Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and
cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his
assistant asked.

"I need some time to spend with my son," he said.

"Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"

Lesson: Always Spend time for the people who cares u!! Life May never give u another Chance !

COULD YOU ???

Yes, the title what you read is right. Getting Confused? Let me make you clear.

I still remember the words of my Mathematics Professor Mr.Santosh, "Be a MASTER of one inspite of being a JACK of all". It means, to be a professional in the real world you need to be a specialist in one aspect instead of being an average skills in all. They are most motivating words said to me by anyone in my life.

Daily, we come across many words, chit-chats but we rather dont concentrate on any thing. Do u know y? Its bcoz our heart doesnt want to know much about the issue. So all you need to do is listen what your heart says to urself and go in that direction.

Well, U cant become a professional in a night, Can u? U need to work really very hard. In life, when we need to achieve anything then we just need to spare some time for it. Time is the only thing on earth which we cant earn back again. Everything needs time. The person who manage his times and take advantage of it will surely suceed in life. So work hard till u r ready for it. Practice. Make urself clear. Remove the fear of losing. My dear friend, Losing never matter, Win and loss are like head and tail of a coin. U just cant win everytime. U need to lose one or the other day, then only u can know what u r made up off, what is that u miss to win.

When u need to be a professional, u need to think like one. Strive hard, even harder, more harder until the goal is reached. The people who live for only winning are idiots. When u fall and raise, the power within u is the ultimate. None can beat you. You are God.

Be confident, Try to be inspiration for others. Uff ! U dont believe me? Well , A man can cheat anyone except himself. Then just close ur eyes, place ur hand on your heart and ask urself "Am I a master in any art??" Then you wil know the answer. Remember, the fear inside you only vanish when you are perfect, then only u can feel the confidence. Try it. U can do it, Buddy!
