The Life Beautiful!--Be Happy! Be Successufl! Be Healthy!

December 23, 2004

Dear Reader,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We have finally arrived. Not in the holiday season and at the year-end. Of course, we have arrived there too. But also at the http://www.thelifebeautiful.com/. To launch this has been a love of sharing. We wanted to share our views on The Life Beautiful and on Happiness, Success, and Health. Our sincere aim is to benefit everybody. We want you to BE HAPPY! BE SUCCESSFUL! and BE HEALTHY!

We have big plans. We want this site to be the Mother of All Sites on the life beautiful, happiness, success, and health. And yet we don't know whether Internet can support all that. We, therefore, need your help and guidance. Howsoever, egotist we may be, our limited knowledge and capabilities cannot rival the unlimited resources of you the readers out there.

I often recall the words of Newton,

"I don't know what I may seem to the world; but, as to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

Well, that ‘smoother pebble or prettier shell' I will be showcasing now and then. But the ‘great ocean of truth' belongs to you. Allow me to have a peep at it. Share it with other readers. On my part, what I bring with me is some experience of living in various countries of the world, observing closely various people, religions, and cultures, reading some of the world literature, and some original thinking. After all this observing, reading, and surfing the Internet, I have come to the conclusion that, alas, I am not the best brain or the best writer in the world. I am rather just above the average! But I will try to cover my limitations with your help.

This is your blog. The site http://www.thelifebeautiful.com/belongs to you. Help us to develop the blog and the site. Become a member; contribute to ezine, discussion forums, and the blog, etc.

I try to follow Gita:

‘You have right to action only, never to its results; never be attached to the results of your actions; but don't take to inaction also.'— Gita (2.47)

But, to be truthful to you and myself, I have not yet reached that stage of ‘Niskam Karma' . In my heart of heart, I am very much ‘attached' to the results of this project. I crave for its success. I will surely shed some tears if it does not grow as I dream.

As we wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, we also sincerely hope that we will also be blessed.

We look forward to New Year and http://www.thelifebeautiful.com/.

Before I leave, I recommend you to read the following from The Life Beautiful Ezine:

The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
The Gift of Santa

I am sorry if this first Blog entry seems an apparent sales pitch. I could not avoid it. The Life Beautiful and this Blog are twins! But I hope they would go in their separate way, though still remaining twins, and will be more concerned with their own lives.

With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,
Gus
