Black & white

Written by a 10 year-old African boy.
This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
... When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored??

Our weakness can become our strength.


A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had
lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master.


The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three

months of training the master had taught him only one move.

"Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"


"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever

need to know," the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.


Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.


Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches.


The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his

opponent became impatient and charged;

the boy deftly used his one move to win the match.


Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.


This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced.


For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched.


Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out.


He was about to stopthe match when the sensei intervened.


"No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue."


Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake:


he dropped his guard.


Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him.


The boy had won the match and the tournament.


He was the champion.


On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match.


Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.


"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"


"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered.


"First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.


And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent

to grab your left arm."

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.


"Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame god,


the circumstances and our self for it but we never know that our

weakness can become our strength one day.

Each of us is special and important,

so never think you have any weakness,
never think of pride or pain,
just live your life to its fullest and extract the best out of it!"

Power of Positive Thinking: Which One Are You?








Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it.
She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.
Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot.
He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.
After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.
Turning to her, he asked. "Daughter, what do you see?" "Potatoes, eggs and coffee," she hastily replied.
"Look closer", he said, "and touch the potatoes." She did and noted that they were soft.
He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.
"Father, what does this mean?" she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity-the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.
The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.
However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.
"Which one are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?"
In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
Which one are you? When problems come (and they will) how will we react? Will they make us weak, hard hearted or will they cause us to change into something worthwhile?
Motivational Quote: "Happiness is not something you find, it's something you create."
Inspirational Quote: "Smile in pleasure, smile in pain; Smile when trouble pours like rain; Smile when someone hurts you, Smile coz someone cares for you."

What Are we Afraid Of?

  • Failure doesn't mean you are a failure, it does mean you haven't succeeded yet.
  • Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing, it does mean you have learned something.
  • Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool, it does mean you had a lot of faith.
  • Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced, it does mean you were willing to try.
  • Failure doesn't mean you don't have it, it does mean you have to do something in a different way.
  • Failure doesn't mean you are inferior, it does mean you are not perfect.
  • Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life, it does mean you've got a reason to start afresh.
  • Failure doesn't mean you should give up, it does mean you should try harder.
  • Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it, it does mean it will take a little longer.
  • Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you, it does mean God has a better idea!
