JAI SAI RAM!!!
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 soured. The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop and nurture every relationship:
Let me help.
Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out. I understand you. People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them.
Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that you uderstand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship.

Dear Ramesh Bhai, What you said is indeed true.
Words which offer help without any malice in mind are the most useful and powerful words. As they contain not just alphabits but also love, care, support and faith in them.
I love you Baba.

JAI SAI RAM!!!
I respect you :
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another person is a true equal.

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 or a friend in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you." This can apply to any relationship.

**Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself three things:
1.) Is it true?
2.) Is it kind?
3.) Is it necessary?
**Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully**
**Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something encouraging to someone**
**Refuse to talk negatively about others don't gossip and don't listen to gossip**
**Have a forgiving view to people. Believe that most people are doing the best they can**
**Keep an open mind: discuss, but don't argue.(It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable)**
**Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing or saying anything that could make matters worse**
**Let your virtues speak for themselves**
**If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what he is saying; if so, make changes.
If there is no truth to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will believe the negative remark**
**Cultivate your sense of humor, laughter is the shortest distance between two people. Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not seek so much to be understood; as to understand; do not seek so much to be loved as to love**
**Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not seek so much to be understood, as to understand; do not seek so much to be loved as to love.

There is a wonderful mystical law of nature that the three things we
crave most in life -
happiness,
freedom
and peace of mind -
are always attained by giving them to someone else.

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.

A GREAT FRIEND
Always Remember
If you are ever facing a problem there are
3 important things to remember.
First, remember that things could always be worse.
Somewhere in the world there is someone facing a
much bigger problem than you are.
Second, remember the good things in life. Remember
the innocence of youth, the beauty of nature, and the
warmth of love.
Third, remember that I will always be your friend.
No matter what happens I will always be there for you.
May all your days be beautiful and bright...
and all your nights be peaceful.
Thanks for being such a great friend!

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 shamed 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.

JAI SAI RAM!!!
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.

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."

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.
OM SAI RAM!!!

JAI SAI RAM!!!
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."
MAY BABA SAI BLESS ALL.
OM SAI RAM!!!

JAI SAI RAM!!!
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.
BABA BLESS YOU! (These are 3 words too, right!)

~~~~You need clothes, You need a shelter, You need food~~~~
"Man cannot live by bread alone." You should not become just a bread-producer, a bread-earner. Bread is needed, but bread is needed only so that you can sing a song.
The bread is needed for the song, the song is not needed for the bread -- the bread is a means, it is not an end.
Once your perspective changes, life will have a totally different significance. It will not have utility but it will have significance, which is far more important. You will earn -- needs are not many, needs are very few. Any intelligent person can fulfill his needs very easily. But when needs become the whole life and you are nothing but a means, then needs cannot be fulfilled -- they become neurotic.
Neurotic needs are called desires. That's what Buddha calls them -- neurotic needs. Bread is needed, but you don't need a great treasure. Clothes are needed, but one need not be mad about clothes. One is not here just to go on collecting clothes. Yes, it is beautiful sometimes to put flowers in your hair, to have a garland of flowers or just a rose in your buttonhole. But you are mad if you are running after diamonds and wasting time. Any stone, any beautiful stone from the beach will do. A seashell will do.
There is no need to put your whole energy and life into things which are really unimportant, insignificant. But that's how people are living. They live for the bank balance. Once they have started living for the bank balance they completely forget what the use of the bank balance is; they go on increasing it.
Andrew Carnegie, one of the richest men of the world, was once asked: "You could have stopped earning any time, because you always had more than you needed."
He said, "Yes, that's right -- but I could not stop. I had forgotten HOW to stop."
Once you get into things it becomes almost impossible to stop. Now he knew that he had more than he needed and there was no need to go on earning. But he worked from the morning till late in the night. Even the day he died he was working -- late, up to twelve in the night he worked, and by twelve-thirty he died. And he was ill, and the doctors were saying, "You need rest."
But how can you rest? The whole life becomes money-oriented -- money means utility.
An intelligent person knows that money is not the goal. And remember, I am not against money, but money is not the goal. There are two kinds of people: those who are for money, and those who are against money. Both are unintelligent. An intelligent person is neither for nor against. He knows that money has some utility, it fulfills certain needs -- you need clothes, you need a shelter, you need food, so it is perfectly all right. But you need not make money your god.
