A Sharp Story !!

Stay Sharp!

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant, and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. 

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees. 

"Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!" Very motivated for the boss' words, the woodcutter tries harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he tries even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. 

"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. 

"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees." 

Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen the axe." In today's world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy than ever. Why is that? Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay sharp? 

There's nothing wrong with activity and hard work. We all need time to relax, to think and meditate proper and continuous care for the family, to learn and grow. If we don't take time to sharpen the axe, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness. So start today. Think about the ways by which you could do your job more effectively and add a lot of value to it. 

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND !!!

Start Your Day with Inspirational Poem !

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens,

We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze,

Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes,

Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name,

We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We hugs, and sometimes flirt,

In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships - but - why we don't know,

But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen, we can be so bold,

Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind,

With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.

We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell "real" people, but tell someone we must,

So we turn to the 'computer', and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains,

They are Friends Without Faces, 

and odd little names deed for another day,

Morning has come in a special way,

May you smile like the sunny rays &

Leave your worries for some other day...

Meaningful Morning Story !!

Conquer Your Weakness

This is a story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. “Sensei,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the Sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the Sensei intervened. “No,” the Sensei insisted, “Let him continue.”

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and Sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the Sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defence for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

The boy’s greatest weakness had become his greatest strength.”

Refreshing Morning Sentences !

Determination is the strength that will enable you 

To pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order 

To create positive thoughts and to be successful

In whatever you wish.

knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.

The Suffering We Have Endured...

Failure Is The Highway To Success...

Possibility or Impossibility doesnot depend on the size of our goal

But on the size of our faith

Keep faith to make everything possible, There is only one success

Instead of racing ahead to cover more ground, 

see the treasures that are right here and now.

A Story That Tells You About Money ....

AKBAR’S GOLD COINS

This Akbar - Birbal story is just one of the many stories, which are an integral part of rich Indian heritage.  

The wisdom of Birbal was unparalleled during the reign of Emperor Akbar. But Akbar’s brother in law was extremely jealous of him. He asked the Emperor to dispense with Birbal’s services and appoint him in his place. He gave ample assurance that he would prove to be more efficient and capable than Birbal. Before Akbar could take a decision on this matter, this news reached Birbal.

Birbal resigned and left. Akbar’s brother in law was made the minister in place of Birbal. Akbar decided to test the new minister. He gave three hundred gold coins to him and said, “Spend these gold coins such that, I get a hundred gold coins here in this life; a hundred gold coins in the other world and another hundred gold coins neither here nor there.”

The minister found the entire situation to be a maze of confusion and hopelessness. He spent sleepless nights worrying over how he would get himself out of this mess. Thinking in circles was making him go crazy. Eventually, on the advice of his wife he sought Birbal’s help. Birbal said, “Just give me the gold cons. I shall handle the rest.”

Birbal walked the streets of the city holding the bag of gold coins in his hand. He noticed a rich merchant celebrating his son’s wedding. Birbal gave a hundred gold coins to him and bowed courteously saying, “The Emperor Akbar sends you his good wishes and blessings for the wedding of your son. Please accept the gift he has sent.” The merchant felt honoured that the king had sent a special messenger with such a precious gift. He honoured Birbal and gave him a large number of expensive gifts and a bag of gold coins as a return gift for the king.

Next, Birbal went to the area of the city were the poor people lived. There he bought food and clothing in exchange for a hundred gold coins and distributed them in the name of the Emperor.

When he came back to town he organized a concert of music and dance. He spent a hundred gold coins on it.

The next day Birbal entered Akbar’s darbar and announced that he had done all that the king had asked his brother-in-law to do. The Emperor waited to know how he had done it. Birbal repeated the sequences of all the events and then said, “The money I gave to the merchant for the wedding of his son – you have got back while on this earth. The money I spent on buying food and clothing for the poor – you will get it in the other world. The money I spent on the musical concert – you will get neither here nor there.”

This is true even today.

The money you spend on friends is returned or reciprocated in some form or the other.

Money spent on charity gets converted into blessings from God which becomes your eternal property.

Money spent on pleasures is just frittered away!

So when you spend money, think a little, if not a lot! 

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND !!

Inspiring Morning Poem !!

What is Hope

Hope is knowing that a positive outcome awaits.

Hope is not only expecting a dream to come true,

But also having a deep assurance

That it's within your reach.

Hope is saying you can.

Hope is knowing that you can improve

And that you always get better with practice.

Hope is knowing that you can achieve your goals

Through hard work and persistence.

Hope is looking to the future with joy

And having an expectation of

Better things to come.

Hope is the knowledge that life is everlasting,

And that miracles happen every day.

Hope is something that never abandons you.

Even when your life is filled with

Sadness and disappointment,

A spark remains inside to help you

Get through the rough times.

Hope is one of God's greatest gifts to you,

Because it's the magic that inspires you

To keep trying, learning, loving, and living..

Good Morning Friends !

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, 

they're supposed to help you to discover who you are....!!!

Good relationships are like needles of a clock, 

They only meet for sometime but always stay connected.

It is not important to hold all the good cards in life, 

But it is important how well you play with the cards which you hold.

We don't have the right to ask when sorrow comes: Why did this happen to me?, 

unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.

"There is only one thing that can keep growing without nourishment : 

The human ego."

If tears of love, joy, and bliss ..... have not washed your cheeks, 

You are yet to taste life.....

ENJOY YOUR DAY !!
