Philosophy of Life - The Real Story !!



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 them to catch it.

"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.

Lovely Morning Feelings !




I'm sending you
the biggest smile ever
in hopes that you'll
have a beautiful day

Think about how special smile is.
It costs nothing, but
has the power to
enrich all who receive it.

A smile brings inspiration
to the discouraged,
cheer to the sad,
and warmth to the troubled.

It creates goodwill and
a feeling of friendship.
A smile only takes a moment,
but its memory can last forever.
So share some smiles.
Give someone a beautiful day 
with smile 'n hugsss !!!


HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY !!

Special Morning Wishes !!




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

~   Lou Holtz


If you have the courage to begin, 
you have the courage to succeed.

~   David Viscott


Success is to be measured not so much by the position
that one has reached in life,
As by the obstacles which one has overcome 
while trying to succeed.

The difference between the impossible and 
the possible lies in a person's Determination.

If I am at peace with myself
It has been a successful day

It's okay to make mistakes. 
Mistakes are our teachers -- 
they help us to learn.

Wise Morning Thoughts !!



DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE LIKE ROAD BUMPS,
THEY SLOW YOU DOWN A BIT BUT
YOU ENJOY THE SMOOTH ROAD AFTERWARDS.
DO NOT STAY ON THE BUMPS TOO LONG.. MOVE ON.....



THE SIZE OF CANDLES MAY DIFFER,
BUT, THEY YIELD THE SAME BRIGHTNESS,
ITS NOT THE MATTER OF UR POSITION,
BUT, UR ABILITY THAT SHINES"



A BUTTERFLY LIVES ONLY 14 DAYS 
BUT STILL IT FLIES JOYFULLY CAPTURING MANY HEARTS,
EACH MOMENT IN LIFE IS PRECIOUS.....
SO BE HAPPY AND KEEP WINNING HEARTS...



EVEN A BIG POT FULL OF WATER CAN BE EMPTIED BY A SMALL HOLE,
SIMILARLY.A LITTLE ANGER OR EGO CAN BURN UP 
ALL THE NOBILITY OF A GOOD RELATION.


SMILE HAPPENS IN A FLASH,
BUT THE MEMORIES OF IT SOMETIMES LASTS FOREVER


ENJOY THE LOVELY SUNSHINE !!!

A Bright New Day !!


A Bright New day 


This is the beginning of a new day. 
I have been given this day to use as I will. 
I can waste it, or use it.


I can make it a day long to be remembered
for its joy, its beauty and its achievements,
or it can be filled with pettiness.


What I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it. 
When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever,
but I shall hold something which I have traded for it. 


It may be no more than a memory, but
if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price. 
I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil,
success not failure.
