NEED and GREED
This one makes so much sense…
A boat 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 him to catch them.
“Not very long.” they answered in unison.
“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

Try to Live Life…
Once there was a famous Artist. He created a very pretty picture and displayed it on the square of the city and wrote a note under the picture, anybody seems any correction please mark it.
When he saw the picture in the evening, it was ruined by the marks on the whole picture. It was very sad to see the picture. He was not able to understand anything, he was sitting sad.
One of his friend was passing by there, saw him and asked about his sadness, the artist told him the whole event. His friend told him, do one thing create another picture and put it over here and write a note, wherever anybody found any mistake or need any correction please make it correct.
Now in the evening artist found that no one has done nothing on the picture and it was found as it was in the morning. Now he understood peoples behavior in the world.
Reprove, found the errors in others, preach down is easy but it is extremely difficult to overcome those shortcomings. This is life…
When the world says I
‘Give it up’
Hope says softly in the ear.,,,,
‘Try Again’
And rightly so ..,,,
“Life is like an ice cream, it is melting while you taste and Melting too while you waste it .,,,
So learn to test life;
The Waste has done so.,,,
“Try to Live Life…”
EAGLES IN A STORM
Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?
The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.
While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us – and all of us will experience them – we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief towards Higher Power. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God’s power to lift us above them.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
