Tough Times ?
When you are beaten in life again and again, do not lose heart and just read the article below:

One thing that I have felt is “life is a vicious circle”. It doesn’t stop anywhere. We have dreams, aspirations and we work hard towards it. When we meet our targets, we set up new goals and again work towards it. While working towards something, we face numerous challenges and we get tired mentally. Sometimes life treats us so kindly that we achieve our desires very soon; sometimes it chases us for years together to achieve what we want. The timeline in which one gets what he/she desires depends on karma. Sleepless night, sadness, tiredness, what more is left? Name it and we face everything in due course.
Everyone goes through this challenge for different needs. But the irony is we all forget the pain and experiences, when we pass the tunnel. The people who know the pain, who have experienced it and know how it feels for someone else, still would make fun and ask pricking questions to another person who undergoes painful times. Well, the point to be taken here is, these are the people who are like obstacles in our devotion and we just have to surpass and focus on what we want. At the end of the day, its tough to prove to everybody who makes fun of us and the reality is we live our life for just us.
Several years before I have heard stories and lectures from my grandfather. He always asked me to believe that our prayers will never go in vain. Sometimes god may not help us immediately when we need but he gives the best when the right time comes. Now, we really can’t know when this right time comes in a person’s life. But the hope with which we work towards something takes us far and one day there is light at the end of tunnel.
The moment of victory is a time truly dedicated to our hard work and is a result of our devotion and prayers of our well wishers. It’s a time when our needs are satisfied and that gives peace of mind and it is not a situation of proof for others.

Kindness
Your kindness may be treated as your weakness,
Still be kind.
Your help to others may be unneeded and unnoticed,
Still be helpful.
If you are honest & frank, people may cheat you,
Still be honest.
What you spend in a year building
Someone Could Destroy Overnight, Still Build it.
If you find happiness, they may be jealous
Still be happy.
The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow
Still do good deeds.
Because it is between you and god,
It was never between you and them.
For the longest of time I was not able to accept this concept. I understand very well but I find very difficult to put this into practice.
Anyways the crux is to be who we are and not to change just because others are the way we are and the way we expect them to be.
Try it!
