Wow! There are several precious pearls of wisdom waiting to be picked in this thread. Visited this place for the first time. Thanks Rachita and Divya.

[BugsBunny]

I agree there are great pearls here in the name of rachita and divya.

But can rachita and divya take each saying or proverb one at a time and explain the meaning so we attain wisedom. i will like it more if they explain with the help of examples.
i have gone thru them but most of them has not got thru my thick skull.

Hey you Bug Bunny Goldfinger Rajesh Tomer fellow. You are correct in admitting that you have a thick skull. I was not referring to Rachita and Divya as the pearls of wisdom but the profound words they have copy pasted here in this thread. But since you have a thick skull you only try to butter up people and call them pearls of wisdom instead of spotting the meaning of what they have said. You first go and do as AK47 has advised you to do. You need Vipassana desperately.

One pearl of wisdom I will give you here today:
Try writing with a single id on this forum for a change. Choose just one id....whichever one you like best and then stick to that, instead of using dozens of them like you are doing right now. :cool:

[divya]

BugsBunny

Am sure you have read ALL of the quotes, but if you will notice again, i have posted just one quote and naturally it happens to be put up singly in the thread....that shouldn't have been too difficult for you to read....probably u were too busy trying to understand the meanings of the quotes that you could not notice this....

by the way the simple meaning of the quote posted by me is that no matter how small or inconsequential you are, if you believe in yourself you can become a force to reckon with (hope that was easy).

STANDING FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, REGARDLESS OF THE ODDS AGAINST YOU, AND THE PRESSURES THAT TEAR AT YOUR RESISTANCE,...........MEANS COURAGE

KEEPING A SMILE ON YOUR FACE, WHEN INSIDE YOU FEEL LIKE DYING, FOR THE SAKE OF SUPPORTING OTHERS.......MEANS STRENGTH

STOPPING AT NOTHING, AND DOING WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART, YOU KNOW IS RIGHT.......MEANS DETERMINATION

DOING MORE THAN IS EXPECTED, TO MAKE ANOTHER'S LIFE A LITTLE MORE BEARABLE, WITHOUT UTTERING A SINGLE COMPLAINT.......MEANS COMPASSION


HELPING A FRIEND IN NEED, NO MATTER THE TIME OR EFFORT, TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.......MEANS LOYALTY


TO THE QUESTION OF YOUR LIFE,
YOU ARE THE ONLY ANSWER.
TO THE PROBLEMS OF YOUR LIFE,
YOU ARE THE ONLY SOLUTION.


Done very nicely......for defining me..
I couldn't have described myself more aptly.
Thanks a mega-ton

http://www.4therapy.com/images/spacer.gifhttp://www.4therapy.com/images/spacer.gifObsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a potentially disabling condition that is characterized by a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are ultimately senseless, distressing, and extremely difficult to overcome on your own. Learn how to recognize the symptoms of this disorder, its causes, treatment, and ways to receive help.




Treatment:
Treatment begins with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), either alone or with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant combined with an antipsychotic medication.

Hello Navin,

As you know, you are adorning my dubious Scoundrel's Gallery...and are on my equally esteemed LIST...but as exception is the proof of rule...So..


As you have dwelt at length at OCD..I am not sure why you are washing your dirty linens in public...If you are inflicted by OCD....I don't see how anyone is going to help you.....here I remember what SPJ said.....

TO THE QUESTION OF YOUR LIFE,
YOU ARE THE ONLY ANSWER.
TO THE PROBLEMS OF YOUR LIFE,
YOU ARE THE ONLY SOLUTION.

However, as I am in the nasty habit of helping out guys and damsels in distress....I will even overlook what SPJ said and ready to help you again....like I helped you earlier with McDonald's complimentary Happy Meals..hope you remember that..

One thing you have missed out is Symptoms...I request you to pl list out the symptoms.as they occur to you..before I get about doing something for you my poor boy......

But ss I see, you have devilish twist of mind and apparetly a prisoner of self too.....So it's possible that you are inferring that it's me WHO has........OCD...

SO....So.........

OK.. Being a positive person that I am...I fixed up a meeting with a Head Shrinker....and lo.....that Doc turned out himself a member of this forum....actually....he is more interested in KBC...than anything else here...but reads the posts for valuable insights into plays of minds...

He immediately identified me as well you.......and......discussed...........

Anyway,.....won't bore you with details...

But forget everything...

So here is prime-time offer..............

no nasty comments from you.....
and no nasty comments from me............

fair enough...only for you.......rest of clones on my LIST.....they don't even deserve my spit.........

Request think it over before you reply.

What says?

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face.... You must do the thing you cannot do. And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace. And even the GOLD is tested against fire.


A winner is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS!



We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.


Life's Good! Live it!"

Bunnies r excused

I agree there are great pearls here in the name of rachita and divya.

But can rachita and divya take each saying or proverb one at a time and explain the meaning so we attain wisedom. i will like it more if they explain with the help of examples.
i have gone thru them but most of them has not got thru my thick skull.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
If you lend someone Rs.500, and never see that person again; it was probably worth it.
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Laughing stock: cattle with a sense of humor.
Learn from your parents' mistakes: use birth control.
Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math.
Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener.
Never mess up an apology with an excuse.
Oh Lord, give me patience, and GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
