Friendship is a networkthat need no recharge, no roaming, no activation, no signal problems, Just make sure you don't switch off your heart
Friendship is like standingon a wet cement... the longer you stay, the harder its to leave and you can never go without leaving your footprints...
One of the best momentsof life is to meet an old friend after years and feel that things haven't changed and you realise how much you missed having him around...
Friendship is needless,like philosophy, like art it has no survival value, rather it is one of those things that give value to survival
Friendship is like a tennis match;To win, you have to serve well, and always rememberit begins with love all

He was born without limbs but not without hope.Nick Vujicic is the Director of “Life without Limbs”and acts as a motivational speaker inspiring millions of physically disabled persons. Nick has a positive approach to life, is outgoing and friendly, with a happy, cheerful personality. He has a smile that makes anyone feel comforted and at ease. But life hasn’t been easy for him.Born to a devout Christian family in Melbourne, Australia on 4th December 1982, Nick was a congenital amputee, missing both arms at shoulder level and had one small foot with two toes.His parents, both lifelong Christians, had eagerly anticipated the birth of Nick, their first child. But when he arrived, all his mother could say was, “Please, take him away!”Nick, although generally healthy, had neither arms nor legs.There was no medical explanation as to why this should have happened, and they had no idea it was going to, so when his devastated parents were presented with a baby with such disabilities, it tested their faith.But parents’ love being what it is, Nick was soon accepted, and became as much-loved as any family member, even though he required almost 24-hour care as he grew through infancy.Nick’s life had many hardships, more so at his school. On being bullied by others in school he got extremely depressed, almost on the verge of attempting suicide before he began to recognize that his feats could inspire many.But having endured that, around age 10 and with thoughts of his own, he began an even more difficult period. He just couldn’t see any point in living. He realised he was a burden to his parents and family. “I got so angry because I was made like this,” he admits. “I couldn’t see a future or hope for one until a few years on when I read the words of Jeremiah.”He quotes them: “‘I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end’ [Jeremiah 29:11, KJV].It’s Nick’s belief that we suffer only so God can strengthen us—drawing us closer to Him and growing with Him—if we seek Him. Again, he quotes the words of Jeremiah: “‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found . . . saith the Lord’ [Jeremiah 29:12-14].”Around that time, after many prayers “talking” to God, he began to realise God had a life plan for him.“Instead of questioning God—‘Why me?’—I found purpose in God, and today there’s no greater satisfaction than being able to glorify Him, knowing that He is with me,” he says.“I do remember, however, reading in the Bible that God created man in His image. I thought, Right! It was a little confusing then, because if God loved me and created me in His image, why would he make me like this?” With a love of God and acceptance of his situation, Nick was able to achieve an inner peace. He realised there was a lot he couldn’t do, and nothing that couldn’t be overcome with God’s help, if that was in God’s plan for his life.God won’t let anything happen to you unless He has a good purpose for it,” says Nick. “So when we think that God doesn’t answer our prayers, He may just be strengthening our hearts—preparing our hearts for something more—teaching us. We must trust in God,” he says, turning again to the wisdom of Proverbs, this time quoting the Living Bible: “‘Don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success,’ Proverbs 3:5, 6.” He learned to write using the two toes, and later on learned to operate computer and type using the “heel and toe” method. With the turn of events, at seventeen, Nick offered speeches to his prayer group and in due course started his non-profit organization, “Life Without Limbs.”
One day I decided to quit... I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. 'God', I asked, 'Can you give me one good reason not to quit?' His answer surprised me... 'Look around', He said. 'Do you see the fern and the bamboo?' 'Yes', I replied. 'When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said. 'In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.' He said. 'Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.' He asked me. 'Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots'. 'I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.' 'Don't compare yourself to others.' He said. 'The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful.' 'Your time will come', God said to me. 'You will rise high' 'How high should I rise?' I asked. 'How high will the bamboo rise?' He asked in return. 'As high as it can?' I questioned. 'Yes.' He said, 'Give me glory by rising as high as you can.' I left the forest and brought back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you. Never, Never, Never Give up. For the Prayer is not an option but an opportunity. Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!
