Difficult to figure out the meaning of liberty

She was in Chicago alongwith her parents.She had small argument with her parents, so she looks bit disappointed in snap, though cute. Actually she wanted to sit on top of the wall (where she is sitting right now) and her parents kept denying her offer. Ultimately she won and uplifted in her desired position. She would have been more happy, had her offer accected earlier. Looks like she is searching the meaning of freedom.

Look for the gold

Andrew Carnegie came to America from Scotland as a young boy. He started out by doing odd jobs and ended up as one of the largest steel manufactures in USA. At one time, he had 43 millionaires working for him. A million dollars is a lot of money today, but in the 1920 it was much more.

Someone once asked Mr. Carnegie how he dealt with people. Andrew Carnegie replied,” Dealing with people is a lot like digging for gold: When you go digging for an ounce of gold you have to move tons of dirt. But when you go digging you don't go looking for the dirt, you go looking for the gold."

Andrew Carnegie’s reply has a very important message. Though sometimes it may not be apparent there is something positive in every person and every situation. We have to dig deep to look for positive.

Change focus, look for the positive. You need to become a seeker of good. You need to focus on the positive in your life. Start looking for what is right in a person or situation instead of looking for what is wrong.

Note: Andrew Carnegie (25 November 1835 – 11 August 1919) was a Scottish-American industrialist, businessman, entrepreneur and a major philanthropist. He was one of the most famous leaders of industry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He immigrated to the United States as a child with his parents. His first job in the United States was as a messenger boy, and he progressed up the ranks of a telegraph company. He built Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company, which was later merged with Elbert H. Gary's Federal Steel Company and several smaller companies to create U.S. Steel. With the fortune he made from business, he later turned to philanthropy and interests in education, founding the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.

He was half way through, when I reached there.Simply spent half an hour to see his activities and patient. I wish I had concentration like him.This is one of the great moments I had spent in "Cannon beach at Pacific Ocean, Oregon, USA.

Metamorphosis of Friendship (Phase-1)

Who is your best f……r….????
I used to say “XYZ” instantly before completion of the question. Those were days, I had my small world with my best friend along with ample of other friends. I was very happy with limited physical resources. I was happy, though I didn’t have computer to play video game. I was happy, though I didn’t have good clothing and other toys. But I had my friends, they were my toys, they were my video games, and they were my modern playing stuff. Just roaming around here and there, playing with nature like climbing trees, run uphill, down hill, spend time with animals(domestic), feeding them etc. was part of our life, along with our school life. I used to think that is my universe and would have to spend whole life out there. But it didn’t come true and I had to leave Dhulikhel for Kathmandu due to some unavoidable circumstances. I don’t want to disclose those incidents here. However I promise to write down those events somewhere else where it would be more appropriate than here. I was so disappointed to leave my small heaven, which nurtured me till my 13th birthday. I was very sad to leave my friends. But I had no choices and had to leave with full of tears on my eyes. I still remember those days when all my friends were shaking hands to say good bye to me with running eyes and soundless word “B…Y..; B.....Y……..”.

I gotta catch lot of things in my life.

The boy was fishing in the stream nearby “Bridal Veil Fall, Provo, UT, USA. He got so frustate,when not able to catch a single fish for 2 hrs. He kept trying, but not able to catch till I was there. Hope he got some after I left that place. It was wonderful to see his activities and face expression when he rolls back thinking he hooked up a fish.
