Joy In The Journey

If you have been discouraged because of failure, please read on. 
For often , achieving what you set out to do is not 
the important thing. 

Let Me Explain .. 
Two brother decided to dig a deep hole behind 
their house, As they were working , a couple of , 
older boys stopped by to watch. 
"What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. 
We plan to dig a hole all the way through the, earth" one of the brothers volunteered excitedly... 

The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way 
throught the earth was impossible. 

After a long silence , one of the diggers picked 
up a jar full of spider, worms and a wide assortment of insects.... 
He removed the lid and showed the wonderful 
contents to the scoffing visitors. 

Then he quietly and confidently , "Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth , look what we found along the way". 

Their goal was far too ambitious, but it cause them to dig... 
And that is what a goal is for - to cause us to 
move in direction we have chosen. 
In other words, to set us to digging... 
But not every goal will be fully achieved, Not every job will end successfully. 
Not every relationship will endure, Not every 
hope will come to pass, Not every love will last. 
Not every endeavor will be completed. 
Not every dream will be realized. 

But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, "Yes , but look at what I found along the way' , Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because, 
I tried to do something" 

It is in the digging that life is lived 
And I believe it is joy in the journey 
in the end that truly matters...

Poem On Engineers

A sad love story of an Engineering student……….

A guy was deeply in love with his classmate.

One day he proposed her by saying that he loved her a lot….

But she was angry and refused and threatened him that she'd complain to the Principal if he ever bothers her again.

One day the girl borrowed a text book from that boy and wrote a message “I love you too, I'm sorry to hurt you the other day. if u've forgiven me, please come and talk to me and never leave me. ” in that book.

But the guy never talked to her. 4 yrs went away and nothing happened

 Moral of the story

 Engineering boys never open their books!!!
