Just Three Words . . .

There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships. Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words. When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that have sourerd.
The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

1. Let me help
When Good friends see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

2. I understand you.
People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your friend know - in so many little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship.

3. I respect you
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another person is a true equal. If you talk to children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. This applies to all interpersonal relationships.

4. I miss you.
Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

5. Maybe you're right.
This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication when you say "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I'm wrong". Let's face it. When you have an argument with someone, all you normally do is solidify the other person's point of view. They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the other person.

6. Please forgive me
Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

7. I thank you.
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

8. Count on me
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count on me."

9. I'll be there
If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there." Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

10. Go for it
We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform to your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

B o n u s : 11. I love you
Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words: "I love you." Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling is gone.

Mozhi

A movie in Tamil; meaning Language. I have not watched the movie but got to see few scenes from the movie. But I am very eager to watch the movie. I will definitely give it a shot once it is released in Bangalore.

From the trailer got to know that the story goes something like this:
There is this gal who is deprived of the power of hearing and speech. And this guy working in the music field falls in love with this gal. He falls in love with this gal even though he knows that she is deprived of the power of hearing and speech. He learns the sign language with which he can communicate better with her and also understand her better. He proposes to her and I am not sure how the story ends.

There was one scene from the trailer which actually touched me. The dialogue goes something like this. (Not very exact though)
He: When I see the moon I get reminded of a story which my mother had told me when I was small.
She: My mother has never told me a story.
He: If you miss someone a lot and look at the moon you can see them in the moon. I used to miss my grandma a lot! So when I was small I used to look at the moon and the grandma in the moon will resemble my grandma. Have you ever missed someone?
She: No.
He: Haven’t you missed anyone in this world at all?
She: No….

I was taken aback. Could there be someone who have all their dear family friends and loved ones close to them that they will not miss them at all? If yes then he/she is very lucky.

When I watched this I got reminded of my college days. In the night when I used to turn towards the sea it’s just me, the vast sea, the cool breeze and the beautiful moon. The feeling is too good.

The story also is very true. As I stayed in the hostel; used to miss my parents a lot. The moon gives you good company that you tend to forget all the loneliness in the world.

Don't Make Anyone Feel Small . . .

Do not belittle the other person. Do not make him feel small. Do not criticize him or find fault with him.

No one likes to be criticized. Look for good qualities in others and appreciate them. When you appreciate others, you draw out the best that is in them. Appreciate your friends, your loved ones, your parents, children. Never scold children. When you scold them, you stifle the life-force that is within them.

Mr.X asked a little boy:- "My child, what is your name?"

He answered:- "At school, they call me Ramesh. At home, I am called Ramesh-don't."

Mr.X could not understand. And he explained:- "At school they call me Ramesh. But whenever I am at home, they always tell me, Ramesh don't behave like this, Ramesh don't speak like this, Ramesh don't sit like this, Ramesh don't talk like this!"

Appreciate children. Appreciate your loved ones. Women have complained:- "There was a time when our husbands gave us many pledges, but all that has become part of history. Today, they pay no attention to us. They take us for granted."

Tonight, as you return to your homes, go and tell your loved one:- "Honey, where would I have been without you?" Those few, simple words can enact a miracle.
