Patients
The patient should be made to understand that he or she must take charge of his own life. Don't take your body to the doctor as if he were a repair shop.
Quentin Regestein
That quote made me smile- thinking of how people make their lives miserable by wrong habits, and then expect the doctor to do a miracle.
But, on the other hand, another line of thought goes that when one is with the doctor, one should forget about the illness getting treated(that's the doctor's job) and concentrate on well-being only.
See this:(From The Secret, one of my favourite inspirational books):
If you have a disease, and you're focusing on it, and you're talking to people about it, you're going to create more diseased cells. See yourself living in a perfectly healthy body. Let the doctor look after the disease....Bob Proctor
What do you think? Both make sense?

Happiness
If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day - go fishing.
If you want happiness for a month - get married.
If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else.
Chinese ProverbNeed I say more?:) Giving is always more satisfying than taking/receiving..that's,of course, once you try it.:)

Good Deeds
This one line says such a lot. Firstly, the good deed part-yes,so many people just keep talking and saying "I have his or her best interests at heart always" and so on. But, these thoughts never translate into action, rendering them as good as no thoughts at all.
If one is really serious, why not try and do one good deed a day? If nothing else, just give a 1 Re coin to a beggar. Or, bow your head when you pass a temple(If you can stop and pray with folded hands, that's even better) or your religious place of worship. The deed should not be a compulsion-then, the very purpose is gone- it has to come from the heart, selflessly, with no selfish motive behind it.:)
Similarly, how many times do we keep thinking 'I think I'll do this', or, 'I'm planning to...'---and the thoughts and plans continue, till it's too late and nothing really gets achieved.
So, wake up(jaago re?) and start.action.do.:)

Live Life KingSize
Amen to that...isn't it so true? Why do we want to do everything at a go? Make a list, plan it out, do one thing now, the next thing after some time...in short, enjoy this lovely life that the One Above has given us, rather than twittering, nee, frittering it away on unimportant matters. Do you agree?
