Lessons on Life!

Have a bit of patience to read fully, after going thru the photos....!! The following pictures are of the same place but taken in different seasons...

Lessons on Life
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.

Moral lessons:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later Greetings!

New Images of Mars

October 11, 2007
Like sand dunes waving across a vast desert, folds of rock seem to ripple over the floor of the Western Candor Chasma, a major canyon in Mars's Valles Marineris rift system.



The patterns are created by multiple layers of light-colored rocks that once shifted and folded along Martian faults and are now being exposed by erosion.


This striking image is among 143 high-resolution color images of Mars released yesterday by NASA. These are the first color images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Dark blue dunes rise above the coppery surface of Wirtz Crater, a possible landing site for NASA's new Mars Science Laboratory, which is set to launch in 2009.
Might look like an aerial view of waves crashing on a distant shore. But this scene, recently captured by NASA's HiRISE camera, is actually part of the largest sedimentary fan inside Mars's 96-mile-wide (154-kilometer- wide) Holden Crater.
Gullies across the Martian surface resemble Earthly mountain ranges in this high-resolution color image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera.
Sapphire-hued dunes and hills dot the inside of a crater in the Western Arabia Terra region of northern Mars-thought to be some of the oldest terrain on the red planet.


The crater is among 30 possible landing sites for a new Mars rover that were imaged in color by NASA's orbiting HiRISE camera. From NGC

முல்லா - குதிரையான கதை

ஒருமுறை ஒரு சமயச் சொற்பொழிவாளர் ஒருவர் தனது அழகான குதிரையை கட்டிவைத்து விட்டு தேவாலயத்திற்குள் சென்றாராம். அப்போது அந்தப் பக்கமாக வந்த முல்லா அந்தக் குதிரையின் அருகில் சென்று "அடடா என்ன அழகான குதிரை!" என்று அதன் அழகை வியந்து அதன் கழுத்தைத் தடவிக்கொடுத்தாராம். அப்போது அங்கு வந்த இன்னொருவன் "முல்லா இது உங்கள் குதிரையா?" என்றானாம்.
இவ்வளவு அழகான குதிரையை தன்னது இல்லையென்று எப்படிச் சொல்வது என்று யோசித்த முல்லா, "ஆமாம், என் குதிரைதான்" என்று முதல் பொய்யைச் சொன்னாராம். "அப்படியானால் இதை எனக்கு விற்றுவிடுகிறீர்களா?" என்றானாம்.
வந்தவன். முல்லாவுக்கு தர்ம சங்கடமாகிவிட்டது. யோசித்தார். அவன் வாங்க முடியாத அளவுக்கு ஒரு விலையைச் சொன்னால் போச்சு என்று அவருக்குத் தோன்றியது. உடனே "பத்தாயிரம் ரூபாய்" என்று சொல்லிவிட்டார்.
தன் குதிரைதான் என்ற பொய்யை காப்பாற்றி ஆகவேண்டுமே? ஆனால் வந்தவனோ, "பத்தாயிரம்தானே, சரி, இந்த அற்புதமான குதிரைக்கு அந்த விலை சரிதான்" என்று சொல்லி, உடனே பத்தாயிரம் ரூபாயை எடுத்துக்கொடுத்தானாம். முல்லா யோசிக்க ஆரம்பித்தார். பத்தாயிரம் ரூபாய். சும்மா வருகிறது. உள்ளேபோன குதிரையின் சொந்தக்காரனோ தூங்குகிறான் போலுள்ளது. விற்றுவிடலாம் என்று முடிவு செய்து குதிரையை அவிழ்த்து கொடுத்தனுப்பினார். அவன் குதிரையோடு போய்விட்டான்.
பணத்தை எண்ணி பாக்கெட்டுக்குள் போட்டுக்கொண்டிருந்த நேரத்தில் உள்ளே போன குதிரையின் சொந்தக்காரன் வெளியே வந்தானாம். யோசிக்கக்கூட நேரமில்லாத சூழ்நிலையில் உடனே முல்லா தனது வாய்க்குள் கொஞ்சம் புல்லைப் போட்டுக்கொண்டு, தன் கழுத்தைச் சுற்றி கயிற்றைகட்டிக் கொண்டாராம்.
சொந்தக்காரனோ, பயந்தும் குழம்பியும், முல்லாவிடம் வந்து, "என் குதிரை எங்கே? நீங்கள் யார்?" என்றானாம். அதற்கு முல்லா," நான்தான் உன்குதிரை. நான் விபச்சாரம் செய்ததால் இறைவன் என்மீது கோபித்து என்னைக் குதிரையாக்கிவிட்டான். இப்போது எனக்கு சாபவிமோசனம் கிடைத்து விட்டது. மறுபடியும் மனிதனாகிவிட்டேன்" என்றாராம். அதைக்கேட்ட அந்த சொற்பொழிவாளனுக்கு ரொம்ப பயமாகிவிட்டது. தெய்வக்கோபம் ஒரு மனிதனை மிருகமாக்கிவிடுமா? உடனே மண்டி போட்டு இறைவனிடம் தன் பாபங்களுக்காக தன்னை மன்னிக்கும்படி உருக்கமாக வேண்டினானாம். பிறகு முல்லாவைப் பார்த்து, " சகோதரனே, நடந்தது நடந்துவிட்டது. இனி நீங்கள் உங்கள் ஊருக்குப் போய்விடுங்கள். நான் சந்தையில் போய் வேறு குதிரை வாங்கிக்கொள்கிறேன்." என்று சொல்லி சந்தைக்குச் சென்றானாம்.
அங்கே போனால் சந்தையில் அவனுடைய குதிரையே நின்று கொண்டிருந்தது விற்கப்படுவதற்காக! அதைப்பார்த்ததும் அவனுக்கு பயம் பிடித்துக்கொண்டது. குதிரையின் அருகில் சென்று மெதுவாக அதன் காதில், "என்ன முல்லா, மறுபடியுமா? இவ்வளவு சீக்கிரமாகவா?" என்றானாம்!

Love & Marriage . . .

One day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is love? How can I find it?"

His teacher answered, "There is a vast wheat field in front. Walk forward without turning back, and pick only one stalk. If you find the most magnificent stalk, then you have found love."

Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with empty hands, having picked nothing.

His teacher asked, "Why did you not pick any stalk?"

Plato answered, "Because I could only pick once, and yet I could not turn back. I did find the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if there were any better ones ahead, so I did not pick it. As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were not as good as the earlier one, so I did not pick any in the end.

His teacher then said, "And that is love."

On another day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is marriage?How can I Find it?"

His teacher answered, "There is a thriving forest in front. Walk forward without turning back, and chop down only one tree. If you find the tallest tree, then you have found marriage".

Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with a tree. The tree was not thriving, and it was not tall either. It was only an ordinary tree.

His teacher asked, "Why did you chop down such an ordinary tree?"

Plato answered, "Because of my previous experience. I had walked through the field, but returned with empty hands. This time, I saw this tree, and I felt that it was not bad, so I chopped it down and brought it back. I did not want to miss the opportunity."

His teacher then said, "And that is marriage. You see son Love is the most beautiful thing to happen to a person, its an opportunity but you don't realize its worth when you have it but only when its gone like the field of stalks. Marriage is like the tree you chopped, it's a compromise . . .".

This is a story of Everyone . . .

Long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took anap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play withhim. Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore."

The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them."

"Sorry, but I don't have money... but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money."

The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me" the tree said.

"I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?"

"Sorry, but I don't have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house."

So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said.

"I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?"

"Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy."

So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you... " the tree said.

"I don't have teeth to bite" the boy replied.

"No more truck for you to climb on"

"I am too old for that now" the boy said.

"I really can't give you anything ... the only thing left is my dying roots" the tree said with tears.

"I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years." The boy replied.

"Good..! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears . . .


The moral of the story................This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad...

When we grow up, we leave them... only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.

No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.

You may think the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents . . .
