    Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. Benjamin Franklin

    Sometimes a curse by someone becomes a blessing. When children do something wrong to someone other than our family they are cursed by them. But the same curse becomes a blessing for them and in later part of their life they shine in life. Also usually children who are very naughty during childhood become a very good and responsible person later in their life. But sometimes the grandparents who saw them naughty in their childhood and worried whether they will become a responsible and good person in life are not there to see the same child flourishing and getting success in life , having a good partner, talented children and children well settled. I know a relative who troubled a lot during his childhood and his grandmother used to punish him and get worried about him. But when he grew up he became very responsible, got a very good wife and children also made their parents proud but so sad that his grandmother was not there to see him shine in life. Now he is above sixty and still working.

    Some people without remembering that they have also children talk about other's kids but later the same kids about whom they talked about are much better.

    True persons and well wishersinourlife arelike stars that constantly shine butoften we do not see them until the dark hours comes.

    “The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor's shortcomings as he is of his own.”
    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983);

    Dear Viji,
    A lovely post. You are correct.

    People may imagine that their cruel or self-serving plans are working perfectly, but at the right moment God reveals that he stepped in early, wrote a different conclusion to the play, and brought us from the place of their curse into the place of his blessing. He is acting behind the scenes even when we may not recognize his presence, and he determines the final scene of the play. Thankfully, it's in our favor.
    We determine whether something will be a blessing or a curse by the way we choose to see it.


    Life is an ongoing process, and most of us meet something at almost every turn we wish were different. But just because something is not turning out the way we want, doesn't mean it won't. And when we insist on calling it good, when we make up our minds that no matter what, we're
    going to see it as a blessing, then our minds start working overtime to prove us right. Magical things tend to happen and that which we labeled a blessing, more often than not, turns out to be one...

    with love
