<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">One young academically excellent person went to
apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first
interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director discovered from the CV that the
youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary
school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director asked, "Did you obtain any
scholarships in school?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth answered "none".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director asked, "Was it your father
who paid for your school fees?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth answered, "My father passed away
when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director asked, "Where did your mother
work?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth answered, "My mother worked as
clothes cleaner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director requested the youth to show his
hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director asked, "Have you ever helped
your mother wash the clothes before?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth answered, "Never, my mother
always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash
clothes faster than me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director said, "I have a request. When
you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow
morning.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth felt that his chance of landing the
job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him
clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she
showed her hands to the kid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly.
His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his
mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands.
Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned
with water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">This was the first time the youth realized that
it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay
the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the
mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">After finishing the cleaning of his mother's
hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">That night, mother and son talked for a very
long time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">Next morning, the youth went to the director's
office.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The Director noticed the tears in the youth's
eyes, asked: "Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in
your house?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth answered, "I cleaned my mother's
hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The Director asked, "please tell me your
feelings."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The youth said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">Number 1,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother,
there would not the successful me today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">By working together and helping my mother, only
I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">Number 3,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">I have come to appreciate the importance and
value of family relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">The director said, "This is what I am
looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the
help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done,
and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">Later on, this young person worked very hard,
and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently
and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">A child, who has been protected and habitually
given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality “and would
always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he
starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he
becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and
would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good
academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel
sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more.
If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we
destroying the kid instead?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">You can let your kid live
in a big house, give him a Driver & Car for going around, Eat a Good Meal,
learn Piano, Watch a Big Screen TV. But when you are Cutting Grass, please let
them experience it. After a Meal, let them Wash their Plates and Bowls together
with their Brothers and Sisters. Tell them to Travel in Public Bus, It is not
because you do not have Money for Car or to hire a Maid, but it is because you
want to Love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how
rich their parents are, one day their hair will Grow Grey, same as the Mother
of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to
appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to
work with others to get things done.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A farmer came into town and asked the owner
of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs. The restaurant owner was
shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs! The farmer
replied, "There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs - millions
of them. They all croak all night long and they are about to make me
crazy!" So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the
farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred at a time for the
next several weeks. The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant
looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner
said, "Well... where are all the frogs?" The farmer said, "I was
mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were
making a lot of noise!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Next
time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember, it's
probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also remember that problems always seem
bigger in the dark. Have you ever laid in your bed at night worrying about
things which seem almost overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances
are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you take a closer look, you'll
wonder what all the fuss was about.</i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off
for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black
car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver
slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The
driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at
us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was
really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost
ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver
taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained
that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full
of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their
garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on
you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move
on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or
on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let
garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the
morning with regrets. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">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. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

The monk understood his problem and said that for some time
he should concentrate only on green colours and not to fall his
eyes on any other colours. <o:p></o:p></div>

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">The
millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased
barrels of green colour and directed that every object his eye was
likely to fall to be painted in green colour just as
the monk had directed.</span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"> </span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> <br />
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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> <br />
Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a

could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other articles and
also could have saved a large share of his fortune. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Master chuckled and then asked the young man to take another handful of

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Once upon a time, there lived a King
who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day,
he came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated
the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Kingdom, unhappy and gloomy,
while a lowly servant was so joyous. The King asked the servant, 'Why are you
so happy?' The man replied, 'Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my
family and I don't need too much -- just a roof over our heads and warm food to
fill our tummies.'<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the
advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King's woes and the
servant's story, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, I believe that the servant
has not been made part of The 99 Club.' 'The 99 Club? And what exactly is
that?' the King inquired. The advisor replied, 'Your Majesty, to truly
know what The 99 Club is, let's place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at
this servant's doorstep.'<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Next day when the servant saw the bag, he picked
it up and took it in. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of
joy... So many gold coins! He began to count them. After several counts,
he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. 'What could've happened to
that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!' he wondered.
He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was
elusive. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he would have to work harder
than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection. And from
that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy,
and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th coin. He
stopped singing while he worked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> <br />
Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his
advisor's help, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, the servant has now officially
joined The 99 Club...' He continued, 'The 99 Club is a name given to those
people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're
always yearning and striving for that extra one, telling themselves: 'Let
me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.' <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We
can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we're given
something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our
happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing
greed and desires. That's what joining The 99 Club is all about.</i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There once lived a great mathematician in a village outside Ujjain. He was
often called by the local king to advice on matters related to the economy. His
reputation had spread all over the country. So it hurt him very much when the
village headman told him, "You may be a great mathematician who advises the king
on economic matters but your son does not know the value of gold or
silver."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The mathematician called his son and asked, "What is more valuable – gold
or silver?" "Gold," said the son. "That is correct. Why is it then that the
village headman makes fun of you, claims you do not know the value of gold or
silver? He teases me every day. He mocks me before other village elders as a
father who neglects his son. This hurts me. I feel everyone in the village is
laughing behind my back because you do not know what is more valuable, gold or
silver. Explain this to me, son."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the son of the mathematician told his father the reason why the village
headman carried this impression. "Every day on my way to school, the village
headman calls me to his house. There, in front of all village elders, he holds
out a silver coin in one hand and a gold coin in other. He asks me to pick up
the more valuable coin. I pick the silver coin. He laughs, the elders jeer,
everyone makes fun of me. And then I go to school. This happens every day. That
is why they tell you I do not know the value of gold or silver."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The father was confused. His son knew the value of gold and silver, and yet
when asked to choose between a gold coin and silver coin always picked the
silver coin. "Why don't you pick up the gold coin?" he asked. In response, the
son took the father to his room and showed him a box. In the box were at least a
hundred silver coins. Turning to his father, the mathematician’s son said, "The
day I pick up the gold coin the game will stop. They will stop having fun and I
will stop making money."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><strong>The bottom line is: Sometimes in life, we have to play the fool because our
seniors and our peers, and sometimes even our juniors like it. That does not
mean we lose in the game of life. It just means allowing others to win in one
arena of the game, while we win in the other arena of the game. We have to
choose which arena matters to us and which arenas do not.</strong></em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The train has started moving. It is packed
with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young
college guys and gals. Near the window, seated an old man with his 30 year old

with the scenery outside.. "See dad, the scenery of green trees moving
away is very beautiful"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wife. Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travellers through
the open window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy “see dad, how
beautiful the rain is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>..." Anup's
wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit. Anup," can't
you see its raining, you old man, if your son is not feeling well get him soon
to a mental asylum..and don't disturb public henceforth" <o:p></o:p></div>

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are on the
way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning only, he was a
blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, when his mother died she
donated her beautiful eyes to him, therefore these rain and nature are new to
his eyes... Please forgive us if we caused inconvenience to you."<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There is very instructive incident involving
the life of Alexander, the great Greek king.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he
fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face,
Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all
his wealth were of no consequence.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last
adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit
Him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and
pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said,
"I will depart from this world soon; I have three wishes, please carry
them out without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals
agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
“My first desire is that," said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry
my coffin." After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my
coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be
strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my
treasury.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
“The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued.
"My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my
coffin."<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no
one dare bring the question to their lips. Alexander's favourite general kissed
his hand and pressed them to his heart. “O king, we assure you that your wishes
will all be fulfilled, but tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
At this Alexander took a deep breath and said:<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"I would like the world to know of the
three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin
because people should realize that no doctor can really cure anybody. They are
powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not
people take life for granted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the
graveyard is to tell people that not even a fraction of gold will come with me.
I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people
realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish
people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go
out of this world."<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and
breathed his last. . . . .</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Once upon a time, an elder monk and a younger
monk were travelling together. They came to a river bank, the bridge was
damaged. They had to wade across the river. There was a pretty lady who was
stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn't cross the river. The elder monk
offered to carry the lady across the river on his back. The lady accepted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The younger monk was shocked by the move of
the elder monk. "How can elder disciple brother carry a lady when we are
supposed to avoid all intimacy with females,” thought the younger monk. But he
kept quiet. The elder monk carried the lady across the river and the younger
monk followed unhappily. When they crossed the river, the elder monk let the
lady down and they parted with her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Along the way for several miles, the younger
monk was very unhappy with the act of the elder monk. He made up all kind of
accusations about the elder monk in his mind. This got him madder and madder.
But he still kept quiet. And the elder monk had no inclination to explain his
situation. Finally, at rest-point many hours later, the younger monk couldn't
stand it any further; he burst out angrily at the elder monk. "How can you
claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a
female, especially when she is very pretty! All your teaching to me make you a
elder hypocrite."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The elder monk looked surprised and said,
"I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come
you are still carrying her along?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This is a very old Chinese Zen story but it
still reflects the thinking of many people today. We encounter many unpleasant
things in our life, they irritate us and they make us angry. Sometimes, they
cause us a lot of hurt; sometimes they cause us to be bitter or jealous. But
like the younger monk, we are not willing to let them go away. We keep on
carrying the burden of the "pretty lady" with us. We let them keep on
coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause a lot of agony.
Why?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Simply because we are not willing to put down
the baggage of the pretty lady, we should just put down the pretty lady
immediately after crossing the river, immediately after the unpleasant event is
over. This will immediately remove all our agonies. There is no need to be
further hurt by the unpleasant event after it is over. It is just that simple.</span></i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A farmer came into town and asked the owner
of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs. The restaurant owner was
shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs! The farmer
replied, "There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs - millions
of them. They all croak all night long and they are about to make me
crazy!" So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the
farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred at a time for the
next several weeks. The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant
looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner
said, "Well... where are all the frogs?" The farmer said, "I was
mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were
making a lot of noise!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Next
time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember, it's
probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also remember that problems always seem
bigger in the dark. Have you ever laid in your bed at night worrying about
things which seem almost overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances
are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you take a closer look, you'll
wonder what all the fuss was about.</i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A turtle family decided to go on a picnic.
Turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for
their outing. Finally the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place.
During the second year of their journey they found a place ideal for them at
last! For about six months they cleaned the area, unpacked the picnic basket,
and completed the arrangements. Then they discovered they had forgotten the
salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a
lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from
home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle
whined, cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that
no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle
left. Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five years...
six years...then on the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no
longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and begun to
unwrap a sandwich. At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from
behind a tree shouting, "See! I knew you wouldn't wait. Now I am not going
to go get the salt."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A
dervish was once sitting alone, meditating in a patch of desert. A ruler passed
by. The dervish, being free from the cares of this world, neither lifted his
head nor paid any attention. The ruler, with the violent pride of power, was
furious and said: "These dervishes in their patched cloaks are no better
than animals!" <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
His minister scolded the dervish and said: "The great ruler of all the
world passed by and you did not stand and bow: why were you so rude?" <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The dervish replied: "Tell your king to expect those people to bow who
hope for some reward from him. Tell him that rulers are there to protect their
people. The people were not created just to obey rulers. The ruler is the
watchman of the poor, though he has greater wealth and glory. The sheep are not
made for the shepherd, rather the shepherd is there to serve the sheep. Look
around you: today you see one man carefree and successful, the other struggling
sore-hearted to survive. Wait a day or two, and see how the earth devours the
brain once troubled with so many foolish thoughts! When the irresistible
decrees of Fate are issued, neither king nor slave remain. Open up the tomb and
search these dusty bones: can you tell which was the rich man or which was the
pauper?" <o:p></o:p></div>

The ruler was struck by the words of the dervish. He said: "Ask me a
favour!" <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There
was once a man who was a champion wrestler. He had mastered 360 holds and
tricks and used a different one every day of the year. It so happened that he
was fond of one of his students, and taught him all his tricks, except one. He
kept on postponing the day when he would teach him the last trick. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The boy grew in strength and skill, and no one among his contemporaries was
able to challenge him. One day, he boasted in front of the king: "My
teacher is unchallenged only because he is older than me and because I respect
him as my teacher. Otherwise my strength is not less than his and my skill is
quite equal to his." <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The King did not appreciate this boasting and ordered a match to take place.
They cleared the broad wrestling ground and gathered ministers, courtiers and
sportsmen to watch. <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The boy charged out into the ring like a mad elephant. His master knew that his
pupil was not stronger than him, so he used the 360th hold the he had never
taught him. The boy did not know how to counter it. He was helpless. His master
raised him with both hands above his head and smashed him to the ground. The
crowd cheered wildly. <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The King congratulated the champion and ordered a robe of honour to be given to
him. He reproached the boy, saying: "You were ill-bred enough to dare to
challenge your teacher and how you see how hollow your boast was!" <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The boy answered: "O lord of the word! He did not overpower me with his
strength but rather because of one trick which he never accepted to teach me.
Today this one trick gave him the victory." <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The King retorted: "It was just for such a day that he had kept his trick!
Have you not heard what the wise say? "Never give a friend such power over
you that if one day he tries to be your enemy, he can defeat you." <o:p></o:p></div>

The teacher betrayed by his pupil said: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"There is no such thing as loyalty in

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A
minister once fell from grace. He left court and joined a group of dervishes.
By virtue of their company, he achieved peace of mind and a reformed character.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The ruler soon changed his mind and decided to reinstate the disgraced
minister. The man refused and said: "I prefer to live in retirement than
to busy myself with politics. Whoever opts for a quiet life is free to forget
the snarling calamities of rivals. I may no longer have the minister's special
pen case, I may have torn up all my papers, but at least I no longer have to
put up with bad mouthing from my critics." <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The ruler replied: "I always need a competent and wise man to help run the
state." <o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<br />
"The sign of wisdom in a man, “the ex-minister replied, "is precisely
not to be taken in by the false attractions of politics. Why is the Huma
superior to other birds? Because it is content to live off dry bones and thus
never oppresses any living thing. Have you heard the story of the lynx? It was
asked why it chose to serve in the court of the lion and replied that at court
it could live safely protected from its enemies and well-fed with the
left-overs of the king's meals. The lynx was also asked why it did not, like
other courtiers, </div>

the innermost circle of the lion's most trusted companions. Whereupon it said:
'I cannot be safe from the king's anger if I am too close to him.' The
Zoroastrian can spend his whole life tending the fire he worships; the fire
will burn him up none the less, if ever he falls into it! Your Majesty's
companions never know whether they will make a fortune or lose their heads! It
is well known that one should be aware of the ruler's fickle moods; he takes
offense at a polite greeting one moment and the next he showers rewards on
someone who has just insulted him. To be a courtier, you have to be as slippery
as an eel; to be a wise man, you have to aim higher. Let politicians flatter
and lie and cheat their way to the top! I know my own human worth: that dignity
is enough for me."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">How often do you let
other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter,
curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless you're the
Terminator, for an instant you're probably set back on your heels. However, the
mark of a successful person is how quickly she can get back her focus on what's
important.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Learned it in the
back of a Harare City taxi cab, here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and
we took off for Westgate. We were driving when all of a sudden a black car
jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on
his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Here's what happened
next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident,
whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. How do I know?
Ask any Zimbabwean, some words in Harare come with a special face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Now, here's what blew
me away. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy, and I mean, he was
friendly. So, I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined
your car and sent us to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver
told me what I now call, "<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The Law
of the Garbage Truck</span>."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Many people are like
garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of
anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place
to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to
dump on you, don't take it personal. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and
move on. You'll be happy you did. I guarantee it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">So this was it: The
"Law of the Garbage Truck." I started thinking, how often do I let
Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and
spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I
said, "I'm not going to do it anymore."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I began to see
garbage trucks. Like in the movie "The Sixth Sense," the little boy
said, "I see Dead People." Well now "I see Garbage Trucks."
I see the load they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my
Taxi Driver, I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them
well, and I move on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">One of my favourite
Football players of all times, Ronaldino does this every day on the football
field. With a smile he always jumps up as quickly as he hits the ground after
being tackled. He never dwells on a hit. Ronaldino is always ready to make the
next play his best. Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next
meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from
school with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be
fully present, and at their best for the people they care about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day. What
about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more
garbage trucks pass you by? Here's my bet. You'll be happier. I guarantee it.</span></i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A young university student was one day
walking with his Professor. They saw a pair of old shoes, which belonged to a
poor man who was working in a nearby field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The student said to the professor: "Let
us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, conceal ourselves behind those
bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">"My young friend," answered the
professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor.
But you are rich and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of this
poor man. Put a coin in each shoe and then we will hide ourselves and watch how
this affects him."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and
came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but
feeling something hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the
coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed upon the
coin, turned it around and looked at it again and again.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now
put the money into his pocket and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but his
surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to the heavens and
uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife who was sick
and helpless, and his children without bread, whom this timely bounty, from
some unknown hand, would save from perishing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
The student stood there deeply affected and his eyes filled with tears.
"Now," said the professor, are you not much better pleased than if
you had played your intended trick?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.
I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before:
"It's more blessed to give than to receive."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in
his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow
perched on their window. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Father asked his Son, "What is
this?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Son replied "It is a crow". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son
the 2nd time, "What is this?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, what is
this?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he
said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is
this?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the
same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A
CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered
diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he
asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were
written in the diary:- </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a
crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I
replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time
h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all
feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father
had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when
today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt
irritated and annoyed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">So, if your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a
burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind
to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today say this aloud, "I
want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a
little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me. They crossed
all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person
presentable in the society today". </span></div>

a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say
all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave. </i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There was a man who had four sons. He wanted
his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a
quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what
they had seen.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with
fruit, full of life and fulfilment.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each
seen but only one season in the tree's life.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and
that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from
that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.<o:p></o:p></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the
beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus
garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the
first few stops-a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally
well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight,
built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver
and said, "Big John doesn't need to pay!" and sat down at the back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Did I mention that the driver was five feet
three, thin, and basically meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with
Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing
happened-Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down.
And the next day, and the one after that and so forth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This grated on the bus driver, who started
losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he
could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo,
and all that good stuff. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">By the end of the summer, he had become quite
strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday,
when Big John once Again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't
pay!," The driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed,
"And why not?" With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied,
"Big John has a bus pass." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners
tried one expert after
another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Then they brought in an old man who had been
fixing ships since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with him,

carefully, top to bottom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer
away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There once was
a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a competition. The goal was to reach the top
of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race
and cheer on the contestants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The race began.. Honestly, no one in crowd
really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You
heard statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!! They will NEVER make
it to the top." or: "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower
is too high!" <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The tiny frogs began collapsing, one by one;
except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher. The
crowd continued to yell "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"
<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but
ONE continued higher and higher and higher... This one wouldn't give up!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">At the end everyone else had given up
climbing the tower, except for the one tiny frog that after a big effort was the
only one who reached the top! Then all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted
to know how this one frog managed to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog
how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It turned out that the winner was DEAF!!!! He
could not listen to the discouraging voices. He took the gestures and negative
shouting as it was to encourage & appreciate him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic... ...because they take
your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you; the ones you have in your
heart! Always think of the power which words do have, because everything you
hear and read will affect your actions! Therefore: ALWAYS BE POSITIVE; and
above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not fulfil YOUR dreams!
Always think: I can do this!</span></i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There was a couple who used to go to England
to shop in the beautiful stores. They both liked antiques and pottery and
especially teacups. This was their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. One
day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said,
"May we see that? We've never seen one quiet so
beautiful." As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke,”
You don't understand," it said, "I haven't always been a
teacup." "There was a time when I was red and I was clay. My
master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, 'Let
me alone,' but he only smiled, ’Not yet.' "Then I was placed on
a spinning wheel," the teacup said, "and suddenly I was spun around
and around and around. 'Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!' I
screamed. But the master only nodded and said, 'Not yet.' "Then he
put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he
wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him
through the opening and I could read his lips, as he shook his head, 'Not yet!'
"Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool.
'There that's better,' I said. And he brushed and painted me all
over. The fumes were horrible; I thought I would gag. 'Stop it,
stop it!' I cried. He only nodded, 'Not yet.' "Then suddenly he put me
back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I
knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded, I screamed.
I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his
head saying, 'Not yet!' "Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I would
never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he
took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later he handed me a
mirror and said, 'Look at you.' And I did. I said, 'That's not me; that
couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful.' "'I want you to
remember, then,' he said, 'I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I
had left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin
around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I
knew it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there,
you would have cracked. "'I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and
painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened;
you would not have had any colour in your life. And if I hadn't put you
back in the second oven, you wouldn't survive for very long because the
hardness would not have held. "'Now you are a finished product. You
are what I had in mind when I first began you.'"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
