Hard Times are like " Washing machine". They twist, turn & knock us around just as a washing machine. But at the end, we come out cleaner and better.

Inspiring Thought for 20th September 2010

If you want to Walk fast, Walk alone. But if you want to walk far, Walk together.

This has been taken from Ratan Tata's lecture on "Building a Successful Life".

Vision !!

Hey guys, Another very interesting story with a message. Here it goes....

There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain.

He consulted so many physicians and was getting his treatment done.
He did not stop consulting galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy
loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections.

But the ache persisted with great vigour than before. At last a monk who
has supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for
by the millionaire.

The monk understood his problem and said that for sometime he should
concentrate only on green colours and not to fall his eyes on any other
colours.

The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels
of green color and directed that every object his eye was likely to
fall to be painted in green colour just as the monk had
directed.

When the monk came to visit him after few days, the
millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him
since he was in red dress, lest their master not see any other colour and
his eye ache would come back.

Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a pair of
green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these
walls and trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved
a large share of his fortune.

You cannot paint the world green." Let us change our vision and the world
will appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape
ourselves first. Simple message yet very true and practical.

Lets change our vision..!!

Postive Attitude Matters a lot !!

Guys,This is an amazing story which I would like to share with you all. The story shows that if you want to do something for someone, you can do it wherever you are in this world. It only requires a positive attitude and the willingness to do it. So, here goes the story.....

There was an old man who was living alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it required a lot of hard work which he himself could not do. His only son, who could have helped him, was in prison. So, the old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year.

I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't
in prison.

Love,
Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!!

That's where I buried the GUNS!!

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad, It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral:

No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep from your heart you can do it. It has always been the thought that matter.....

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
