Be generous with Praise
Speak to people , there is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
Smile at people, it takes 72 muscles to frown.. only 16 to smile.
Call people by name; the sweetest music to anybody’s ear is the sound of their own name.
Be sincerely cordial; speak and act as it were a genuine pleasure.
Be considerate of the feelings of others.
Be thoughtful of the opinion of others; there are three sides to a controversy-your’s the other man’s and the right side.
Be genuinely interested in people; you can like everybody if you try.
Be generous with praise. Praise uplifts, criticism lowers.
Be alert to render service; above all, what counts in life is what we do for others.
Be fair in your criticism; remember you opinion is personal with you and it may not be always correct.

Punch Line
We should look long and carefully at ourselves before we pass judgment on our fellows.
O God! Teach us to spare for others at least something out of so much we are collecting from your rich universe.
A humble bee extracts essence from all kinds of flowers; like wise, a wise man collects essence from all the scriptures.
He is a wise who dies not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
Affection blinds reason.
The happiness you give makes you happier than the happiness you receive
It is for us to make effort. The result is always in the hands of God. Satisfaction lies in the effort not in the attainment. .
Maker of the Beautiful
It is beauty I love.
Thought like the foolish moth
Oft I burn my limbs in the flame;
Yet evermore my soul craves its attainment.
Beauty in the rose draws my heart;
Beauty of dawn exalts my soul;
Stillness of the nights fills me with wonder;
Beauty of face and beauty of sight
Awaken in my soul love and ever greater love.
In love and with love
I seek the Maker of the Beautiful.


I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
