A king wanted to honor a Sufi saint with fervor
Invited him to his court with respect and honor
He offered gift of golden scissors, in his praise
Saint respectfully denied the gift with dignified poise
He asked for a simple steel needle instead
When given, he took it with joy, bowing his head
Curious king, asked him the reason for his choice
‘I made a choice between that, which separates
And that which surely connects and unites.
O King! In life, choose your friends likewise’
Long sermons are not the ways of the wise
When simple acts and words of wisdom will suffice
=====================================Quote
Happiness is sure when you don’t take pride to your head and failure to your heart!
=====================================Humor
Two drunken friends were driving home. The first started screaming: - Jim, watch out for the wall, watch out for the waaaaall! Baaaaam! They hit the wall. The next day in the hospital the first man asked his friend: - You good for nothing, I've been screaming for you to watch out, why didn't you? Jim answered him: - IT WAS YOU DRIVING!!!
