Life Quotes: Reminder Quotes

greetingstuffs — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:44:17 +0000

Don’t wait to do good deeds
Don’t wait to express your gratitude.
It’s because waiting lasts forever.

When there is an unsolvable problem,
let time solve it.

Use reason to solve problems.
Using emotions and sensations
lead to more problems.

Everything is attractive, but one must choose to buy.
Everything is appealing, but one must choose to sell.

Sometimes a bicycle is more important than a car.
Don’t neglect or over look trifling things.

“Garbage”
Everybody throws it away
but somebody keeps it.

What is the most important?
Waiting for the opportunity,
creating the opportunity,
or grasping the opportunity?

Good advice is more important than money
but most people prefer money.

Each day everyone has limited time.
If we focus on minor issues,
we will lose major issues.

You should save what you want to be rich:
Money Time Power

When opportunity comes, don’t miss it.
When opportunity has gone,
don’t get disappointed.

Smile, modesty, and charming words are “one parts of success”.

Laughing is good only in the right occasion
Crying is bad but it is sometimes necessary.

To avoid disappointment
don’t expect cats to hunt and
don’t expect tigers to catch mice.

Good deeds conquer the world,
Good reasoning conquers all.

A sage failed is because of his arrogance
A student failed because his boast of intelligence,
The reward of arrogance or boast of intelligence is a painful lesson.

Everyone needs love.
The one who offers it first shall be rewarded 10 times over.

Father’s Day Story

greetingstuffs — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:47:32 +0000

Father’s Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving, and special dinners to fathers and family-oriented activities.
There was a tradition to celebrate Father’s Day around thousands of years ago. In Babylon a son called Elmesu carved a father’s day message on a clay card. In his message Elmesu wished his father a long and healthy life. There is no knowledge as to what happened to this father son duo but it is believed that several countries retained the custom of celebrating Father’s Day.

The actual beginnings of Father’s Day are rather sketchy, and there are several stories of how this holiday started. While these are considered to be true, probably the most common and widespread story is that the June holiday that is known today as Father’s Day is said to have started growing its roots in the year of 1909.

A woman by the name of Mrs. John B. Dodds, who lived in Spokane, Washington, campaigned for a Father’s Day celebration. Her interest in having an organized holiday for fathers was sparked after she heard a church sermon on the virtues of Mother’s Day. The sermon reminded Mrs. Dodds about her childhood years, when her mother had passed away while in childbirth with her sixth child. Mrs. Dodds’ father, William Smart, who was a veteran of the Civil War, was then left to carry on as both father and mother to the newborn baby and their five other children. With medical doctors being in short supply, and medicine being in just its early stages of development, many women died while giving birth to their babies. It was simply, at that time, a hazard of the effort to bring forth new life onto the earth. And when Mrs. Dodds thought of all fathers’ great role. She decided that they all should be honored with a special day all their own. She campaigned and worked to spread her message, and even got the help of friends and family to write letters to influential people who could make this dream happen for her. And, finally, after much hard work and determination, a local celebration was finally proclaimed in the year of 1910. Mrs. Dodds wanted the date of the holiday to be on her father’s birthday, which was the fifth of June, but the festivities had to be moved to the nineteenth of June so there would be enough time to prepare.

Eventually, annual celebrations blossomed throughout the United States and Canada, but it wasn’t until 1972, when Richard M. Nixon signed a congressional resolution that Father’s Day became established. Finally, over sixty years later, after it was first campaigned for, Father’s Day was officially established as being celebrated on the third Sunday of every June.
With the transformation of the American family throughout the years, this holiday was expanded to include honoring not only fathers, but also stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, guys that act as big brothers, and any other males that have played the father role in ones’ life.

Thanksgiving Day Story

greetingstuffs — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:06:00 +0000

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American holiday. On this day people express gratitude to God for his blessings and give thanks to dear ones for their love & support. Thanksgiving Day brings a perfect time for the families and friends to gather and inspire all of them to give thanks to the the lord for everything that he has done which is the very spirit of today’s thanksgiving celebrations. Nowsaday, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

Thanksgiving Origin

The legendary pilgrims, crossed the Atlantic in the year 1620 in Mayflower-A 17th Century sailing vessel. After a sea journey for 66 days, the pilgrims reached Plymouth rock, Massachusetts on December 11th 1620. In the spring of 1621, Squanto, a native Indian taught the pilgrims to survive by growing food like corn, beans and pumpkins which helped all of them survive.

In the summer of 1621, owing to severe drought, pilgrims called for a day of fasting and prayer to please God and ask for a bountiful harvest in the coming season. God answered their prayers and it rained at the end of the day which saved the corn crops.

In the autumn of 1621, they held a grand celebration where people were invited including Indians. The grand feast was organized to thank god for his favors. The dinner is popularly known as “The first thanksgiving feast” which its food included, ducks, turkeys, geese, swan and venison, fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, and plums. The feast continued for three days. It was accompanied by lots of dancing and merry-making. The feast was not repeated for the next few years until President Lincoln proclaimed last Thursday in November of thanksgiving in the year 1863.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual parade presented by Macy’s Department store. The three-hour event is held in New York City starting at 9:00 a.m. EST on Thanksgiving.

The first Thanksgiving Day Parade was held in 1924 was called the ‘Macy’s Christmas Day Parade’, despite the fact that it took place on a Thanksgiving Day. It took three years to actually re-name it as ‘Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade’ in 1927. American parades actually are an extension to the European tradition. In the 1920’s, many store employees of Macy’s department were second generation immigrants and were proud of their new American heritage. They wanted to introduce their beloved European tradition to an American Holiday and so they marched from 145 Street down to 34th Street dressed in fancy costumes such as clowns, cowboys, knights and sheiks. There were 25 live animals in their parade that they borrowed from the Central Park Zoo along with floats and professional bands. The parade was an instant hit and they attracted an audience of about over a quarter of a million people. Large balloons were introduced for the first time in the shape of Felix the Cat. There was a tradition about releasing the balloons that would float for days and the lucky finders could claim a prize for the balloons but this custom is now extinct. Children simply love Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. Parade continued to grown in 1930s and crowd of over 1 million people lined the routes of the Parade by 1934. New balloons were introduced in the shape of Walt Disney characters and there were radio shows telling all about the ceremony and Santa’s arrival at 34th Street.

Mother’s Day Story

greetingstuffs — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:50:22 +0000

Mother’s Day is a day honoring mothers, celebrated on various days in many places around the world. There was a story of mother worship in ancient Greece which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March.

England celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday”, celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent, “Mothering Sunday” to honor the mothers of England. The tribute to celebration of the mother’s day came from Anna Jarvis who first decided to raise awareness of poor health conditions in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers. She called it “Mother’s Work Day. During this time, many of the England’s poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. Until it had came on Mothering Sunday, the servants could have the day off to return home and spend time with their mothers.
As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the “Mother Church” - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother’s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’s death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.

Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother’s Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother’s Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
