Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

I got this in a mail !!!

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by someone …



Thumb represents your Parents


Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings


Middle finger represents your-Self


Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner


& the Last (Little) finger represents your children


Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together – back to back


Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb – tip to tip

(As shown in the figure below):



Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)…, they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.


Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)…., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.


Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)…., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.


Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).


You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT….., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives – through thick and thin!!


Please try this out………….


ISN’T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?

The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react

1. When you face a setback, think of it as a defining moment that will lead to a future accomplishment.



2. When you encounter adversity, remember, the best don’t just face adversity; they embrace it, knowing it’s not a dead end but a detour to something greater and better.


3. When you face negative people, know that the key to life is to stay positive in the face of negativity, not in the absence of it. After all, everyone will have to overcome negativity to define themselves and create their success.


4. When you face the naysayer’s, remember the people who believed in you and spoke positive words to you.


5. When you face critics, remember to tune them out and focus only on being the best you can be.


6. When you wake up in the morning, take a morning walk of gratitude and prayer. It will create a fertile mind ready for success.


7. When you fear, trust. Let your faith be greater than your doubt.


8. When you fail, find the lesson in it, and then recall a time when you have succeeded.


9. When you head into battle, visualize success.


10. When you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future, instead focus your energy on the present moment. The now is where your power is the greatest.


11. When you want to complain, instead identify a solution.


12. When your own self-doubt crowds your mind, weed it and replace it with positive thoughts and positive self-talk.


13. When you feel distracted, focus on your breathing, observe your surroundings, clear your mind, and get into The Zone. The Zone is not a random event. It can be created.


14. When you feel all is impossible, know that with God all things are possible.


15. When you feel alone, think of all the people who have helped you along the way and who love and support you now.


16. When you feel lost, pray for guidance.


17. When you are tired and drained, remember to never, never, never give up. Finish Strong in everything you do.


18. When you feel like you can’t do it, know that you can do all things through Him who gives you strength.


19. When you feel like your situation is beyond your control, pray and surrender. Focus on what you can control and let go of what you can’t.


20. When you’re in a high-pressure situation and the game is on the line, and everyone is watching you, remember to smile, have fun, and enjoy it. Life is short; you only live once. You have nothing to lose. Seize the moment.

This is a mail I got in Deloitte which is simply stating the best ways to follow. I love it.
In Deloitte on goal setting we are told that the goals should be SMART !

S     Short
M    Measurable
   Achievable
    Realistic
    Time bound

Hope the goals I set are SMART :-)
Life is all in our hands. It's the attitude and the mindset which is riding our day to day life. If you think you can manage a situation then you will manage the situation somehow. Thats the power of thinking. To maintain any relationship three things are very important.They are

tolerance

adjustment

sacrifice
 
I wrote these sometime back somewhere and now I wonder "Did I write these" ? One thing which is confirmed now is mind is not constant. As you all know mind is nothing but bundle of thoughts. So at the time when I was writing these I must have been in a great mood ! Anyhow on reading these I get more confidence :-)
