There are two types of respect.The first is respect that comes too you because of your position, fame, or wealth. This type of respect is impermanent. It can be lost once you loose your wealth or status. The second type of respect comes because of your smile and your virtues such as honesty, kindness, commitment and patience. This respect no one can take away.

The less you are attached to your virtues, the more self-respect you have. When you get attached to your virtues, you disdain others and then your virtues start diminishing. Non-attachment to virtues brings the highest self-respect.

Ego is often confused with self-esteem.Ego needs another for  comparison, but self-esteem is just confidence in oneself.For example, a gentleman claiming that he is skilled in mathematics or geography has self-esteem.But to say, "I know better than you," is ego.

Ego simply means lack of respect for the Self. Your ego will often leave you upset but if you have self-esteem you will be unshaken by external factors. In self-respect everything is a game, winning or losing has no meaning, every step is joy and every move is a celebration. With Self-esteem you simply realize that you have it.

We always work for making a better tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, we again start thinking for another better tomorrow....tomorrow never comes...and we lose our today.

Why do we fall in love?
Experience ki kami...

Why do we break off in love?
Patience ki kami...

Then why do we want to fall in love again?
Obviously....Dimaag ki kami...

Three nice stories.

Once all villagers decided to pray for rain,on the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella. THATS FAITH.

(2)
When u throw a baby in the air, the baby laughs because he/she knows you will catch him/her. THATS TRUST.
