Villagers and Monkey

Once upon a time in a village, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs 10.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them..

The man bought thousands at Rs 10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.

He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20.

This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.

The offer rate increased to Rs 25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs 50!

However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs 50."

The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!

Welcome to the 'Stock Market'!!!!!!!!

The woodcutter

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Priyanka Chopra."

Is this your wife?" the Lord asked..

"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to , Priyanka Chopra

You would have come up with Kareena Kapoor . Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife . Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care

of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Priyanka Chopra."

The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others..

That's our story, and we're sticking to it! - "WE ARE HONORABLE MEN!!!!!!"

A Professor was teaching about Proverbs 15:1.
He asked his students, 'why do we shout in anger?
Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'


The students thought for awhile.
One said, because we lose our calm.


But why shout when the other person is just next to you?
Asked the professor.
Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice?
Why do you shout at a person when you are angry?


The students gave some answers but none satisfied the Professor.


Finally he explained, 'when two people are angry at each other,
there is a distance in their hearts psychologically.
To cover the distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are,the stronger they will shout to hear each other through that great distance.
Then the Professor asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love?
They don't shout at each other but talk softly.
Why? Because their hearts are psychologically close.
The distance between them is very close.
The Professor continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens?
They don't speak, only whisper and they even get closer to each other in their love.
Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.....
So next time you shout on a loved one,
know that you are creating distance between your heart and that person’s heart.


Proverbs 15:1 says a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.


PLS SHARE with as many friends as u can.
U maybe healing a hot tempered person today...
Enjoy every moment. "Life is easy"

Boss and Joe

Joe was a house keeper who had this habit of drinking from his boss’s wine bottle
and replacing it with water.



The boss, shouted: "Joe?"


Joe answered from the kitchen: “Yes boss?”


Sam: “Who drank my wine and added water in the bottle?”


No answer.


The boss repeated the question, still no answer.


The angry boss marched to the kitchen and threatened Joe,


“What the hell is going on? When I call your name you respond with ‘Yes Boss’ but


when I ask you a question, you remain silent. What is this !!!”


Joe said: “It is like this. In the kitchen, you can hear only your name being called..


You don’t hear anything else that is said, I swear.”


Sam: “How is that possible? All right, I will prove you wrong..


You stay right here in the hall with Madam,


I will go to the kitchen and you ask me a question”


So the boss went to the kitchen.


Joe shouted: “Boss?”


Boss: “Yes Joe?"


Joe: “Who got the maid pregnant?”


No reply.


Joe, yet again: “And who arranged for her abortion?”


Once again silence..


Sam came running from the kitchen and said:


"you are right Joe. When one is in kitchen, one can’t hear anything but one’s name.


That’s bloody strange!”

Doctor save life

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.




On seeing him, the dad yelled:

“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”




The doctor smiled & said:

“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”




“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily




The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”




“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.




The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,

“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!”




“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.




The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”




Moral: Never judge anyone….. because you never know how their life is & what they’re going through

Gardner

A man was an avid gardner...

Saw a small butterfly laying a few eggs in one of the pots in his garden since that day

he looked at the egg with ever growing curiosity and eagerness.




The egg started to move and shake a little.

He was exited to see a new life coming up right in front of his eyes.

He spent hours watching the egg now.

The egg started to expand and develop cracks..

A tiny head and antennae started to come out ever so slowly.




The man's excitement knew no bounds he got his magnifying glasses and sat to watch the life and body of a pupa coming out.




He saw the struggle of the tender pupa and couldn't resisit his urge to HELP.

He went and got a tender forcep the help the egg break,

a nip here a nip there to help the struggling life. And LO!




The pupa was out the man was ecstatic!

He waited now each day for the pupa to grow and fly abt like a beautiful butterfly,

but Alas that never happened the larvae pupa had a oversized head and kept crawling along in the pot for the full 4 weeks and died!




Depressed the man went to his botanist friend and asked the reason.

His friend told him the struggle to break out of the egg helps the larvae to send blood to its wings and the head push helps the head to remain small so that the tender wings can support it thru its 4 week life cycle,

in his eagerness to help the man destroyed a beautiful life!




Struggles help all of us, that's why a wee bit of effort goes a long way to develop our strength to face life's difficulties!




As parents, we sometimes go too far trying to help and protect

our kids from life's harsh realities and disappointments.




We don't want our kids to struggle like we did.




But Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Dan Kindlon says that

overprotected children are more likely to struggle in

relationships and with challenges.




We're sending our kids the message that they're not capable

of helping themselves.

Not prepare the road for Our Children..."

Happiness

This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no meaning.




So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness.




The counselor called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors.




The counselor then said to the rich lady "I'm going to ask Mary here to tell u how she found happiness. All I want u to do is listen to her."




So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story:




"Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody. I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life. Then one evening a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got some milk, and the kitten licked the plate clean. Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and, for the first time in months, I smiled.




Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile, may be doing something for people could make me happy.




So, the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed.




Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy.




Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do.

I've found happiness, by giving it to others."




When she heard this, the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.




"The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are; but on how happy others can be because of you..."




Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey.




Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now.




Happiness is not dependency, it is a decision.




Happiness is what you are, not what you have..

World wide survey

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN.




The only question asked was:

“Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the

food shortage in the rest of the world?”




The survey was a huge failure.




The reason:




In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’ meant




In India they didn’t know what ‘honest’ meant




In Europe they didn’t know what ‘shortage’ meant




In China they didn’t know what ‘opinion’ meant




In the Middle East they didn’t know what ‘solution’ meant




In South America they didn’t know what ‘please’ meant




And in the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant!!

Vanilla Ice Cream that puzzled General motors !!!!

An Interesting Story




Never underestimate your Clients' Complaint, no matter how funny it might seem !




This is a real story that happened between the customer of General Motors

and its Customer-Care Executive. Pls read on.....




A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors:




'This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for

not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a

tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert after dinner each night, but the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I recently purchased a

new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem.....




You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from the

store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car

starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this question, no

matter how silly it sounds, "What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not

start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any

other kind ?"




The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the

letter, but sent an Engineer to check it out anyway.




The latter was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well

educated man in a fine neighborhood. He had arranged to meet the man just

after dinner time, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice

cream store. It was vanilla ice cream that night and, sure enough, after

they came back to the car, it wouldn't start.




The Engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, they got

chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start.




Now the engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end

he began to take notes: He jotted down all sorts of data: time of day, type of gas uses, time to drive back and forth etc.




In a short time, he had a clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than

any other flavor. Why ? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the

store for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to check out

the flavor.




Now, the question for the Engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it took less time. Eureka - Time was now the problem - not the vanilla ice cream !!!! The engineer quickly came up with the answer: "vapor lock".




It was happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other

flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapor lock to dissipate.




Even crazy looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be simple only when we find the solution, with cool thinking.




Don't just say it is "IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort....

What really matters is your attitude and your perception

The 8 monkeys

(This is reportedly based on an actual experiment conducted in the U.K.)




Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.




Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable.




Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up.




Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.




One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room.

Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious.

But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder.




All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly.

He has no idea why.




However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.




A second original monkey is removed and replaced.

The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him.




This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it.




However, he has no idea why he's attacking the new monkey.







One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced.

Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water.

None of them attempt to climb the ladder.




All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why.







And that is how traditions, religions and systems get established and followed.




Think twice before following a tradition,religion or system blindly ..

One day a tourist comes to the only hotel in a debt ridden town in Kenya.




He lays a 100 dollar note on the table & goes to inspect the rooms.




Hotel owner takes the note & rushes to pay his debt to the butcher.




Butcher runs to pay the pig fuarmer.




Pig farmer runs to pay the feed supplier.




Supplier runs to pay the prostitute, who in these hard times gave her services on credit.




Prostitute then runs to pay off her debt to the hotel owner for the rooms she rented for her clients.




Hotel owner then lays the 100 dollar note back on the counter.




The tourist comes down, takes his money & leaves as he did not like the rooms.




No one earned anything.




But that group of people is now without debt & looks to the future with a lot of optimism.




And that is how the world is doing business today!

What is the Important part of body?

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is.

Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct Answer.

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."

She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it

and I will ask you again soon."

Several years passed before she asked me again.

Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer.

So this time I told her,

"Mommy, sight is very important to everybody,

so it must be our eyes."

She looked at me and told me,

"You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."

Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was,

"No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child."

Then one year, my father died. Everybody was hurt.

Everybody was crying.

My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my father.

She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"

I was shocked when she asked me this now.

I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the look on my face and told

me,

"This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life.

For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why.

But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson."

She looked down at me and threw her head on my shoulder and hugged me.

I saw her eyes well up with tears. 

She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."

I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"

She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends so that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one.

It is made for others and not for yourself. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

People will forget what you said. 

People will forget what you did.

But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.

Germany

Germany is a highly industrialized country.

In such a country, many will think its people lead a luxurious life.




When we arrived at Hamburg , my colleagues walked into the restaurant, we noticed that a lot of tables were empty. There was a table where a young couple was having their meal. There were only two dishes and two cans of beer on the table. I wondered if such simple meal could be romantic, and whether the girl will leave this stingy guy.




There were a few old ladies on another table. When a dish is served, the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their plates.




As we were hungry, our local colleague ordered more food for us.When we left, there was still about one third of un-consumed food on the table.




When we were leaving the restaurant, the old ladies spoke to us in English, we understood that they were unhappy about us wasting so much food.




"We paid for our food, it is none of your business how much food we left behind," my colleague told the old ladies. The old ladies were furious. One of them immediately took her hand phone out and made a call to someone. After a while, a man in uniform from Social Security organisation arrived. Upon knowing what the dispute was, he issued us a 50 Euro fine. We all kept quiet.




The officer told us in a stern voice, "ORDER WHAT YOU CAN CONSUME, MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS IN THE WORLD WHO ARE FACING SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO WASTE RESOURCES."




The mindset of people of this rich country put all of us to shame. WE REALLY NEED TO REFLECT ON THIS. We are from country which is not very rich in resources. To save face, we order large quantity and also waste food when we give others a treat.

(Courtesy: A friend who is now changed a lot)







THE LESSON IS:- THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT CHANGING OUR BAD HABITS. Expecting acknowledgment, that u read the message and forward to your contacts.

VERY TRUE -"MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY."

office boy at Microsoft

A jobless man applied for the job of "office boy" at Microsoft.




The HR interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. "You are employed" he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the forms to fill in as well as when you may start". The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email." "I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means u do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."




The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10

in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket & buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man realised that he can survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier and return late. Thus, his money dbld or trpld everyday.




Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US .

He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life Insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.




When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, "I don't have an email." The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!"




The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"




Moral of the story:

1) Internet/email/bbm/whatsapp is not the solution to your life.

2) If you don't have internet/email/bbm/whatsapp , and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

3) If you received this message by email/bbm/whatsapp, u are not any close to being a Billionaire.

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their Family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. 'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said as he

surveyed the worried faces.







'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain Transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the Brain yourselves.'







The family members sat silently as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, 'Well, how much does a brain cost?' The doctor quickly responded, 'Rs. 50,000 for a male brain, and Rs. 200 for a Female brain.'







The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to Control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, 'Why is the male brain so much more?'




The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire Group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the Price of the female brains, because they've actually been used, the male brains are hardly ever used by the owners. So they are as good as new'

Glass of milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.




He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.




Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water!

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?"




You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."




He said ... "Then I thank you from my heart."




As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.




Many years later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.




Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.




Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.




Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.




He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.




After a long struggle, the battle was won.




Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...




"Paid in full with one glass of milk"




(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.




Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."




There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?




Now you have two choices.




1. You can send this page on and spread a positive message.




2. Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.

Opening the floor with questions can be disastrous




"The material we put into our stomachs should have killed most of us sitting here,
years ago Red meat is full of steroids and dye.


Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining.
Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High trans-fat diets can be disastrous and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by germs in our drinking water.


But, there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and most of us have,
or will eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"


After several seconds of quiet, a 70-year-old man in the front row raised his hand,

Greed and Need

A Toyota or a BMW, the Road remains the same for all.

You Travel Economy Class or Executive, your Destination doesn't change.

A Titan, Rado or a Rolex, the Time is the same for everyone.

There is nothing wrong in dreaming or leading a luxurious life;

What needs to be taken care of is ,not to let the NEED to become a GREED.

Because need is always met but greed is never fulfilled!

eye opener

A boat is docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.
A tourist complimented the  local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

"Not very long." they answered in unison.

m"Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"

The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.

"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives.

In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.  
We have a full life."

The tourist interrupted,
"I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!

You should start by fishing longer every day.

You can then sell the extra fish you catch.

With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
"And after that?"

"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.

Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.

You can then leave this little village and move to  Mexico City , Los Angeles , or even  New York City !

From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."


"How long would that take?"
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist.

"And after that?"  

"Afterwards?  Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the tourist, laughing.

"When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"    

"Millions?  Really?  And after that?" asked the fishermen.

"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now.
So what's the point wasting twenty-five years?" asked the Mexicans.

And the moral of this story is:
Know where you're going in life, you may already be there!

Many times in life, money is not everything.

“Live your life before life becomes lifeless”.

short stories

1. Fall and Rise

Today, when I slipped on the wet tile floor a boy in a wheelchair caught me before I slammed my head on the ground.  He said, “Believe it or not, that’s almost exactly how I injured my back 3 years ago .

2. A father's advice

Today, my father told me, “Just go for it and give it a try!  You don’t have to be a professional to build a successful product.  Amateurs started Google and Apple.  Professionals built the Titanic

3. The power of uniqueness.

Today, I asked my mentor – a very successful business man in his 70’s – what his top 3 tips are for success.  He smiled and said, “Read something no one else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and do something no one else is doing.

4. Looking Back

Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class.  When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, “Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile.

5. Try and U shall know

I am blind by birth. When I was 8 years old, I wanted to play baseball. I asked my father- "Dad, can I play baseball?" He said "You'll never know until you try." When I was a teenager, I asked him, - "Dad Can I become a surgeon?". He replied "Son, you'll never know until you try." Today I am a Surgeon, just because I tried!

6. GOODNESS & GRATITUDE

Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug.  When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her.  She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, “On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center.”

7. LOVE CONQUERS PAIN

Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying.  And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face.

8. A DOOR CLOSES TO OPEN ANOTHER

Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed the money, so I went into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job.  I start tomorrow.

9. LOOKING BACK

Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said, “I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”

10. AFFECTION

Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed.  About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.

11. INNOCENCE

Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old daughter asked me to start recycling. I chuckled and asked, “Why?” She replied, “So you can help me save the planet.”  I chuckled again and asked, “And why do you want to save the planet?” “Because that’s where I keep all my stuff,” she said.

12. JOY

Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter’s antics, I suddenly realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again.

13. KINDNESS

Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me.  He helped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving he said, “I hope you feel better soon.”.

14. SHARING

Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe.  He said he hadn’t eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy.  Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating.  The first thing the man said was, “We can share it.”

Cheers to life.😃😊😊
One of the best post, ever gone through.....thank you God....!!

Superb story

Superb story!!

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him.

After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn.

He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded.

Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance. The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why not? After all, this kid looks sincere enough.”

So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.

The boy replied, “I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction.”

Moral : A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind. Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps you to set your life the way you expect it to be! ~ The soul always knows what to do to heal itself..The challenge is to silence the mind 
