live today!

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry. Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension? 

One of these days is yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. 

We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone!!

The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow, with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. 

Tomorrow is beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, whether in splendor or behind a mask of clouds. But it will rise. Until it does we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day: today.

Any man can fight the battles of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of two awful eternities - yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down.

It is not necessarily the experience of today that disturbs one's peace of mind. It is often time the bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore live one day at a time.


“Get going. Move forward. Aim High. Plan a takeoff. Don't just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won't happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you'll love it up here.”

-Donald Trump.

Think before coming to conclusion.

One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train. Train is about to leave the station.

All passengers are settling down their seat. As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and curiosity.
He was sitting on the window side. He went out one hand and feeling the passing air.
He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind". Old man smile and admired son feelings. Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing all the conversion between father and son.
They were little awkward the attitude of 25 years old man behaving like a small child.

Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with the train".
A Couple was watching the young man in embarrassingly.
Now it start raining and some of water drops touches the young man's hand. He filled with joy and he closed the eyes.
He shouted again," Papa it's raining, water is touching me, see papa”.
The Couple couldn't help themselves and ask the old man, “Why don't you visit the Doctor and get your son treated".
Old man said," Yes, We were in the hospital. Today only my son got the eyes first time in his life".

Moral: "Don't draw conclusions until you know all the facts".

Manage anger-I.

“Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy” – Aristotle

We all have experienced anger in our life – from tiny annoyance to full fledged rage;
we have also experienced the problem associated with anger.
It is an emotion which we encounter most – both within and outside.
 But yet we hardly understand this powerful emotion or try to control it.
Before we should proceed further, let me us see  – what is anger? Most will probably answer in negative.
However, anger is a normal and healthy emotion;
it can be used for our advantage.
Osho has said – ‘In anger the mind is focused entirely on one point. That is why there is so much power in anger.’
The responsibility lies with us to use this power to our benefits.

Unfortunately, this does not happen with most of us. In reality, we let anger to go out of control so much that it starts creating problems in our life.
It destroys our relationships and hampers the overall quality of life. Uncontrolled anger causes pain; it hurts us both physically and mentally.

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.

When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Planning.

 


The American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied "only a little while". 

The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish?

The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The American then asked, "but what do you do with the rest of your time?" 

The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor."The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. 
You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise. “The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"
 
To which the American replied, "15-20 years. “But what then, senor?" The American laughed and said that's the best part. 

When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions. “Millions, senor? Then what? “The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar."
