Ideas...

Dear Children,

Ideas are the mightiest influence on earth. One great thought breathed into a man may regenerate him. All advancement and progress come through ideas, not through physical force or mechanical force. An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.

A single idea / the sudden flash of a thought / may be worth a million dollars.

The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another. The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment. Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death. Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!

It just takes one idea to live like a king for the rest of your life. New ideas and opportunities come to those who decide what they want and have the courage to pursue it. The solution to any problem is just an idea.

Stay focused on your goals, dreams, and ideas. Grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually everyday.

With Love, Amma-Naana

Each Day Provides Its Own Gifts : Amma - Nana‏

Proverbs are the children of experience.

Rainbow at noon, rain comes soon.

A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.

Gentleness does more than violence.

A joy that's shared is a joy made double.

Tomorrow is a new day.

He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.

In calm water every ship has a good captain.

Interesting. But, of course, Google China is drawing on a markedly different (more scoped) demographic of users. Here are the current estimates ..

Thought For The Day

Dear Children,

With a sweet tongue and kindness,
you can drag an elephant by a hair.
*
If you want to know your past life,
look into your present condition;
if you want to know your future,
look into your present action.

*
Confidence comes not from always being right
but from not fearing to be wrong.
*
The greatest pleasure in life is
doing what people say you cannot do.
*
Lack of money is no obstacle.
Lack of an idea is an obstacle.

With Love, Amma-Naana

Just One...

One song can spark a moment,

One flower can wake the dream.

One tree can start a forest,

One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,

One handclasp lifts a soul.

One star can guide a ship at sea,

One word can frame the goal

One vote can change a nation,

One sunbeam lights a room

One candle wipes out darkness,

One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey.

One hope will raise our spirits,

One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,

One heart can know what's true,

One life can make a difference,

You see, it's up to you!

Happy New Year - 2008
