believe in destiny?... think again

Found this beautiful article on web:

Destiny

During a momentous battle, a Japanese general decided to attack even though his army was greatly outnumbered. He was confident they would win, but his men were filled with doubt.

On the way to the battle, they stopped at a religious shrine. After praying with the men, the general took out a coin and said, "I shall now toss this coin. If it is heads, we shall win. If it is tails we shall lose."

"Destiny will now reveal itself."

He threw the coin into the air and all watched intently as it landed. It was heads. The soldiers were so overjoyed and filled with confidence that they vigorously attacked the enemy and were victorious.

After the battle. a lieutenant remarked to the general, "No one can change destiny."
"Quite right," the general replied as he showed the lieutenant the coin, which had heads on both sides.

Doesnt this remind us of Sholay ...

Believe in yourself

The mother was standing behind me with the kid. She wanted to get off at the same station as mine. As I turned to the kid, I saw sparkle of mischief in those red eyes and as I turned more towards him I noticed that

A year passed by

A year passed by... With so many travels to India and back, I am exhausted. So many functions and events, some good, some bad, some as they should have been some not. So many lives touched, many new people met, shared some thoughts, shared many memories... A year passed by... When I look back, I am back to the same state where I started a year back.. but empty handed. A year passed by... I am back to square one

Faith

From the subscription of my daily dose of " What do you think of God wants You to Know ? " On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know ... that faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty. Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!
