Position of Whiskey - Winston Churchill

Sir Winston Churchill was once asked about his position on whisky. Here's how he answered:

"If you mean whisky, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children;
if you mean that evil drink that topples men and women from the pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, shame, despair, helplessness and hopelessness, then, my friend, I am opposed to it with every fibre of my being."

"However, if by whisky you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the elixir of life, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes;
if you mean good cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning; if you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to forget life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow;
if you mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of pounds each year, that provides tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation... then my friend, I am absolutely, unequivocally in favour of it..!!!"

"This is my position, and as always, I refuse to compromise on matters of principle.!!!"

जिदंगी मे .......

1. जिदंगी मे कभी भी किसी को
      बेकार मत समझना क्योक़ि
        बंद पडी घडी भी दिन में
          दो बार सही समय बताती है

2. किसी की बुराई तलाश करने
      वाले इंसान की मिसाल उस
       मक्खी की तरह है जो सारे
         खूबसूरत जिस्म को छोडकर
           केवल जख्म पर ही बैठती है

3. टूट जाता है गरीबी मे
      वो रिश्ता जो खास होता है
        हजारो यार बनते है
          जब पैसा पास होता है

4. मुस्करा कर देखो तो
      सारा जहाॅ रंगीन है
        वर्ना भीगी पलको
          से तो आईना भी
             धुधंला नजर आता है

5..जल्द मिलने वाली चीजे
      ज्यादा दिन तक नही चलती
        और जो चीजे ज्यादा
           दिन तक चलती है
             वो जल्दी नही मिलती

6. बुरे दिनो का एक
      अच्छा फायदा
         अच्छे-अच्छे दोस्त
            परखे जाते है

7. बीमारी खरगोश की तरह
      आती है और कछुए की तरह
        जाती है
          जबकि पैसा कछुए की तरह
             आता है और.खरगोश की
                तरह जाता है

8. छोटी छोटी बातो मे
      आनंद खोजना चाहिए
        क्योकि बङी बङी तो
          जीवन मे कुछ ही होती है

9. ईश्वर से कुछ मांगने पर
      न मिले तो उससे नाराज
        ना होना क्योकि ईश्वर
           वह नही देता जो आपको
             अच्छा लगता है बल्कि
                वह देता है जो आपके लिए
                    अच्छा होता है

10. लगातार हो रही
        असफलताओ से निराश
           नही होना चाहिए क्योक़ि
              कभी-कभी गुच्छे की आखिरी
                  चाबी भी ताला खोल देती है

11. ये सोच है हम इसांनो की
        कि एक अकेला
          क्या कर सकता है
             पर देख जरा उस सूरज को
                वो अकेला ही तो चमकता है

12. रिश्ते चाहे कितने ही बुरे हो
        उन्हे तोङना मत क्योकि
          पानी चाहे कितना भी गंदा हो
             अगर प्यास नही बुझा सकता
                 वो आग तो बुझा सकता है

13. अब वफा की उम्मीद भी
         किस से करे भला
            मिटटी के बने लोग
               कागजो मे बिक जाते है

14. इंसान की तरह बोलना
         न आये तो जानवर की तरह
             मौन रहना अच्छा है

15. जब हम बोलना
         नही जानते थे तो
           हमारे बोले बिना'माँ'
             हमारी बातो को समझ जाती थी
                 और आज हम हर बात पर
                     कहते है छोङो भी 'माँ'
                         आप नही समझोगी

16. शुक्र गुजार हूँ
        उन तमाम लोगो का
           जिन्होने बुरे वक्त मे
              मेरा साथ छोङ दिया
                 क्योकि उन्हे भरोसा था
                    कि मै मुसीबतो से
                       अकेले ही निपट सकता हूँ

17. शर्म की अमीरी से
         इज्जत की गरीबी अच्छी है

18. जिदंगी मे उतार चङाव
         का आना बहुत जरुरी है
            क्योकि ECG मे सीधी लाईन
                का मतलब मौत ही होता है

19. रिश्ते आजकल रोटी
         की तरह हो गए है
            जरा सी आंच तेज क्या हुई
               जल भुनकर खाक हो जाते

20. जिदंगी मे अच्छे लोगो की
        तलाश मत करो
          खुद अच्छे बन जाओ
            आपसे मिलकर शायद
               किसी की तालाश पूरी हो

---

" इंसान " बुरा तब बनता है
        जब वो " खुद " को,
              " दूसरों " से ज्यादा अच्छा
                        समझने लगता है !

खुश रहा करो क्योकि
     परेशान होने से कल की मुश्किल
           दूर नहीं होती बल्कि आज का
                सुकून भी चला जाता है !!

लोग अक्सर कहते है,
     जिंदा रहे तो फिर मिलेंगे !
           मगर एक सच्चे दोस्त ने,
                  क्या खूब कहा है कि
                         मिलते रहोगे तो...
                               जिंदा रहेंगे..... !!
