A poor man asked the Buddha,
“Why am I so poor?”
The Buddha said, “You donot learn to give.”
So the poor man said, “If I’m not having anything?”
Buddha said: “You have a few things:
The Face, which can give a smile;
The Mouth, you can praise or comfort others;
The Heart, it can open up to others;
The Eyes, who can look the other with the eyes of goodness;
The Body, which can be used to help others.”
So, actually we are not poor at all.
Poverty of spirit is the real poverty.
Happy Possibility,

Sing Sing Sing!
Your song has a taste of history
Your song has a smell of blood
Your song carries messages of unity!
Sing Sing Sing
with your body
with your heart
with your Inuit throat!
Strike me
Shake me
Shock me
Don’t let me forget what happened to you
Don’t let me repeat the past!
Sing Sing Sing
Your voice brings back the history
Your voice brings back your blood/bread back
Your voice brings back your children home
Sing Sing Sing
Be with me
to the end of time!

Come here near me
Sit beside me
Have to tell you something, my child!
Listen to what I have to say, she says:
“Life is too short
don’t sweat on small stuff.
When one door is close on you,
look into the other doors in life
Don’t star at the close door, forever!
Move on and make the best of what you’ve got.
Remember, you can make a difference
Remember, what you’ve got is enough
Remember your dream, when you fall”!
I shall remember your words every day
I shall remember your wisdom when a door slams on my face
I must remember you!
Hello to you again!

Dream never dies even if it is old
Dream never dies even if it is not popular
My dream never dies even if it is not supported by you!
Dream Dream Dream
Without dream, life has no meaning
Without dream, life has no direction
Without dream, my time is wasted by you!
Dream dream Dream

Come to the table
Come to the dinner
I am sitting here waiting for you!
For hours, days and nights
eating dinner alone!
Where are you to join me on time?
Where are you to share this bread with me this time?
Where are you to be my nightmate this night?
Waiting waiting waiting
until the night falls and
you show up at my door!

I think this article is supportive of what i believe crucial in human relationships. I believe parties in any relationship need to be open to new ideas and need to collaboratively influence the direction of relationship. The de-centred, appreciative and influential position is a key to success in relationship. The below post refers to this briefly.
