Quoting Myself..

"Some things have to wait.
We don't really need to rush up.
But waiting a little time is so much boredom for some people.
They would never ever get the sweet prize of waiting."

A Woman of True Beauty

A woman of true beauty..

Never fades with age.
Instead, she is becoming more & more beautiful each day of her life-
Enriching herself with all the opportunities
The world has to offer.

A woman of true beauty..

Knows how to keep her head high-
Amidst all the struggles of life.
Be it a challenge in her career,
A problem at home,
Or in picking up the pieces of her broken heart.

A Woman of true beauty..

Is beautiful inside and out.
And such a woman is a treasure to everyone
Having her in their lives.



For all the beautiful women in the world...

Quoting Myself..

"The world is full of strangers and in a place far from home,
the least you expect is someone to reach out to you for a beautiful connection."

The Salesman's Prayer

Oh, Creator of all things, help me. For this day I go out into the world naked and alone, and without your hand to guide me, I will wander far from the path which leads to success and happiness. 

I ask not for gold or garments or even opportunities equal to my ability; instead, guide me so that I may acquire ability equal to my opportunities.  

You have taught the lion and the eagle how to hunt and prosper with teeth and claw. Teach me how to hunt with words and prosper with love so that I may be a lion among men and an eagle in the market place.  

Help me to remain humble through obstacles and failures; yet hide not from my eyes the prize that will come with victory.  

Assign me tasks to which others have failed; yet guide me to pluck the seeds of success from their failures. Confront me with fears that will temper my spirits; yet endow me with courage to laugh at my misgivings.

Spare me sufficient days to reach my goals; yet help me to live this day as though it be my last.  

Guide me in my words that they may bear fruit; yet silence me from gossip that none be maligned.  

Discipline me in the habit of trying and trying again; yet show me the way to make use of the law of averages. Favor me with alertness to recognize opportunity; yet endow me with patience which will concentrate my strength.  

Bathe me in good habits that the bad ones may drown; yet rant me compassion for weaknesses in others. Suffer me to know that all things shall pass; yet help me to count my blessings of today.  

Expose me to hate so it not be a stranger; yet fill my cup with love to turn strangers into friends.  

But all these things be only if thy will. I am a small and lonely grape clutching the vine yet thou hast made me different from all others. Verily, there must be a special place for me. Guide me. Help me. Show me the way.  

Let me become all you planned for me when my seed was planted and selected by you to sprout in the vineyard of the world.  

Help this humble salesman.  

Guide me, God.

Quoting Myself..

"This is not a place to fall in love.
Everything here is temporary.
Make friends but don't trust much.
Spare yourself of the heartache you'll never need."

The Girl In Fairy Godmother's Eyes

"A good heart and a sensitive soul. A passionate lover and a bestfriend."

When I think of her as born under the sign of Libra, what comes to mind is definitely the concept of the balancing act, the person is trying to juggle all the balls without dropping any of them. Her life is dedicated to have all things in harmony and all relationships at peace. Of course this is a tall order to perform but it doesn’t stop her at taking the role of the peacekeeper even when she should keep out of it.

In her personal relationships, she shows understanding of the other person's point of view, trying to resolve any differences by compromise, and she is often willing to allow claims against herself to be settled to her own disadvantage rather than spoil a relationship. She likes the opposite sex and may indulge in romanticism bordering on sentimentality. Her marriages, however, stand a good chance of success because she frequently believe that she have found her soulmate.

In matters of the heart, she have a strong idea and fantasy of what true love is and she will constantly pursue this journey for her soul mate. However, she probably will experience heartaches on her search because she have such a clear vision of the perfect partner and she can easily be disillusioned by the imperfection of most other human beings.

Emotionally, she is always sensitive to the needs of others and have the gift, sometimes to an almost psychic extent, of understanding the emotional needs of her partner. She is a very social human being. She hates cruelty, violence and crudeness and detest conflict, so she’s doing her best to cooperate and compromise with everyone.

She can be changeable and indecisive, impatient of routine, and timid, too easygoing, seldom angry when circumstances demand a show of annoyance (at least); and yet she can shock everyone around them with sudden storms of rage.

She is not wishy-washy or indecisive as many would think. She just spend too much time weighing all the possibilities before making up her mind. And when she does, she is very determined, it just takes her so long because of her overly cautious analyses.

She have elegance, charm and good taste. She is naturally kind, very gentle, and a lover of beauty and harmony. But most importantly, she have a great judge of character and a passion for justice and equality for all.

She is more artistic than intellectual, though she’s too concerned about what others think and that she’s aren’t too avant-garde in any artistic endeavor. She have good perception and observation and her critical ability gives her work integrity.

Her greatest talents fall in the world of creativity. With her keen eye to color and symmetry, she would do very well from interior to fashion design, sculpturing, painting and especially acting. But she would also do very well with owning an art gallery or going into the investment field of collecting art.

She may think she is ordinary and she may look so-ordinary, but she knows how to dress and how to carry herself to appear striking and make heads turn. She have a magnetic and sexual allure compelling men to pursue her. She have no trouble attracting potential partners, it’s just that she might not even notice the attention because she is totally focused on her fantasy concept of love which can make her not notice the attention of her admirers.

She generally gave herself very good advice though she seldom followed it.

She may be as dainty as a fluffy, white bunny and she may whisper with gentle persuasion. She can dress in silks and laces, and her hair can smell of fragrant cologne. She might even look like a little doll you could lift with one hand. But with all her femininity, sweet mannerisms and lovely grace, this girl wears a pair of trousers with surprising ease, and they'll fit her rather neatly.

Aside from her typical fondness of weighing everything twice to make sure she didn't miss a point, she can be quite a lot of woman for a man who's interested in romance or companionship or both. Her tendency to argue is really based on a sincere desire to reach an impartial decision. It could be worse. At least, she doesn't make up her own rules as she goes along, or stubbornly resist all reason. Besides, most of her opinions are presented with diplomatic tact, which somewhat softens the blow.
If there's one thing she treasures above all else on this temporal earth, it's the man she’s chosen to love and honor.

She hates to play solitaire. Partnerships, in both business and romance, constitute her deepest need. With her, marriage is a joint venture, and the rules are almost as strict as those in a corporate setup. You are the president of the association, and you're honored as such. She's the chairman of the board, who will keep you from making mistakes, in her own feminine, protective way. Her nature is built for teamwork. She'll want to participate in as many of your interests and activities as possible. She's willing to entertain in her husband's behalf, and she's female enough to follow his lead when he wants to change his career, move to another city, or cultivate new friends. That's all his department. She's only there to smooth the way and be sure he doesn't goof anything by impulsive actions and ill-considered judgment.

You really have to give her credit. She has no desire to be a stone around her husband's neck. She simply wants to remove all the stones in his path. She's not nearly as domineering on the surface as she is inwardly, because the last thing she wants to do is make a lot of positive statements you can hold her responsible for later.

She offers her pearls of wisdom on a silver platter of charm and amiable suggestion. Her iron hand wears a soft, velvet glove, and she can nudge you off the wrong track and in the right direction so gently, you'll swear the switch was entirely your own idea.

There are many rewards when you're living with her. She'll never open your mail. It simply wouldn't occur to her to be so dishonorable. She'll never reveal your business secrets to your friends or embarrass you in front of your boss. She'll probably charm him into submission, too, with the same smile she used to melt your heart when you first met her. There will be moments when you'll wonder if she's an angel or devil, but the angels fight on her side more often than not.

You probably won't complain of lack of physical proof of her love, because she's as sentimental as old lace, and as affectionate as a woman has any right to be. She's always sincere about those sweet glances, tender touches, warm hugs and frequent kisses.

Her home may look like one of those magazine ads for wall-to-wall carpeting. The colors will harmonize, and the furniture will be in good taste. Pictures will hang straight, and meals will usually be served on time. You can also count on flowers on the table, good choice of china, candlelight, wine, soft music and a balanced menu. Taking into consideration her clever mind and her sparkling wit, there's not a whole lot more you could ask. Being a woman is sort of a lifetime occupation to her, and she's bound to arrive at perfection somewhere along the line.

She likes to talk. But she'll also make a flattering listener, when you have a need for a good audience. This woman is both tough and soft at the same time, and it's not every female who can manage that delicate balancing act.

What other woman could look like a princess when you take her to the ball, then turn right around, lace up her boots, zip up her red plaid lumber jacket, and help you saw logs for the fireplace? She has sweetness enough for the first and strength enough for the second.

She hates to be rude, yet she'll straighten the crooked picture on your wall and snap off your blaring TV sfft. She loves people, but they hate large crowds. Like gentle doves of peace, she goes around mediating and patching tip quarrels between others; still she enjoys a good argument herself. She is good natured and pleasant, but she can also be sulky. She’s a wonderful listener. She’s restless. But she seldom rush or hurry. Are you completely confused? You're not alone. There's a frustrating inconsistency to her that puzzles everyone.

Lots of people will tell you that she is all love and beauty and sweetness and light. That's fine, as far as it goes, but don't ever think that she is always perfectly balanced. Never again will you have a mental picture of her as a calm, perfectly balanced, sweet, gracious and charming individual. You'll have a mental picture of a person who has that kind of disposition half the time. The other half of the time, she can be annoying, quarrelsome, stubborn, restless, depressed and confused. She is first up, then down. She swings one way, then another. Suddenly, like the scales-perfect balance! It's heavenly. But there is always that period of weighing and dipping before the moment of heavenly balance is achieved.

Even when she is angry, somehow, she will manage to look mild, or at the very least, neutral. She has a typically sweet voice and it is clear as a bell, and she would seldom raise them to a shrill or bellowing pitch. She’s the only one who can say, "I hate you and I'm going to punch you in the nose," and sound as if she's reciting Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?"

Now you might think that to be born attractive, to seek fairness and loveliness, to be pleasing and easily pleased, is a blessing. You might imagine that gentleness and intelligence, grace and understanding are the gifts of her fairy godmother. You might be right. When her scales are balanced, it’s utterly delightful, like meeting an angel from paradise. The problem is the fairy godmother! She keeps rapping one side of her scales with her wand and then the other, making this girl dip back and forth. She can't seem to make up her fickle mind whether she made a mistake or not, and she passed her indecision on to this beautiful creature.
