THE GREATEST SUCCESS OF ALL
“Skipper, a special message just came in for you from the admiral,” the sailor said to his captain as he saluted. “I have it right here.”
“Read it to me,” the captain ordered.
The sailor read, “You are without a doubt, the most conceited, self-absorbed, Ego-Maniac ever to command a ship in the United States Navy.”
The skipper responded, “Have that communication decoded at once!”
For some people, it's all about them. For others, it's all about you. Like author Leil Lowndes says, “There are two kinds of people in this life. Those who walk into a room and say, 'Well, here I am.' And those who walk in and say, 'Ahh, there you are.'”
Which are you? Are you more focused on getting your own needs met, or on easing the burdens of others? Are you mostly trying to make yourself happy, or are you interested in the happiness of those around you?
Albert Einstein reminded us that “life isn't worth living, unless it is lived for someone else.” And toward the end of his life, he removed the portraits of two scientists -- Isaac Newton and James Maxwell -- from his wall. He replaced them with portraits of Mahatma Gandhi and Albert Schweitzer. Einstein explained that it was time to replace the image of success with the image of service.
Maybe the greatest success of all is when we realize that it's not all about us. And maybe the greatest happiness to be found is when we share the happiness of others.

Proverbs 16:18-20 “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.”
Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.

Why Blogging?
What would you do if you once saw people shouting at you from Hell? How would you respond if they said "Why you never told us about Jesus?" "Why you never told us about the right way to Heaven?" "Why you never told us about God's love through Jesus?"
As I saw them, and I felt sorry for them, I am blogging now. And I challenge you to do the same. If you cannot write, simply tell your friends to visit this blog and other blogs that have the same intention, i.e. to testify about Jesus.
I did not write all articles here. I took them from other sources too. I always mention the source, unless, I did not know the sources.
It is my hope that you could enjoy all writings here which had been carefully selected. May Jesus open our heart and mind and let us have A Victorious Life with Him.
With loving regards, Deny S Pamudji
