Life, Cruise (for ma frnd Lail)

I always remember this story I read in a book when I was young

about a couple who saved their entire life for a dream cruise

and then came a time when they saved enough so they can go for that cruise,

they paid for the 15 day long cruise but realized they didn't have any money left for the food,

so they packed themselves with biscuits, they went to the cruise

Breakfast, lunch and dinner they only had biscuits.

They were really happy, it was a great cruise, lot of fun, but just biscuits,

14 days passed by, last day they realized that they had some money for the grand dinner,

they went to the cafeteria and asked for the menu, it was a great menu,

lots of foods varieties but to their surprise there were no prices on the menu,

when asked the waiter told them that all meals were free

and prices were already included in the cruise ticket………..

and they lived 14 days just on biscuits……aaawwwwwwww, that sure was cruel,

they didn't realize that fact

but

Do we?

We have a life time ticket to our life's journey

with all the powers and all the means to enjoy it all included

provided to us right in our own hand

but still we beleive we dont have it

and worry all the time

Isn't it true....

all powers are always yours, so is your lord who creates it....

just Beleive...

when you have a life time ticket to all the laughters and happiness of the world,

why do u choose to live on tears

hey come back to life, laughter and happiness

they are waiting for you

that was a piece with irony... but i think it depends on the way we see it; perspective! the couple may have existed on biscuits all cruise long, but the important point is, which you did mention, that they enjoyed a lot. i think that should be the end of it. If finding about the free food on the last day they have regrets, then its not worth it, food which has already gone inside is gone already. They didnt die from starvation, did they?
I think they should rather enjoy the last day even more and thank god for coming to know about while still on the boast.

cheers

SOmetimes ur goal make u achieve or exprience anything which impossible.In other way u can quote nuffin is impossible ur efforts make it possible to it.
Life isnt a ticket to anyone itz the bear cheque to encash it when ever u wana itz the way u win as much u wana win bucks to spend on urself.
Itz trick to deal or not to deal with ur potention.
"I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have the faith needed to move mountains-but if I have no love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned-but if I have no love, this does me no good."

yes all the powers are inside but ironically its only us who underestimate ourselves. we should start to lauch website with the same design so we can add stuff, and subsequently work for upcoming requirements.
