Knowledge is Power!

During a robbery in Guangzhou , China , the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank:
"Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.

This is called "Mind Changing Concept”
Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her:
"Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional”
Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school):
"Big brother, let's count how much we got."

The older robber rebutted and said:
"You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience”
Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him:
"Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide”
Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!
The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."

This is called " Opportunity ”
Personal Gain is more important than your job”.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was stolen from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million.

"We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"

This is called "Knowledge ... which is worth much more than gold!"

The bank manager was ecstatic, smiling from cheek to cheek because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.

This is called " BAILOUT ”


So who are the real robbers here?
 

LIFE IS UNFAIR

When I was facilitating The 7 Habits programme last week, one of the participants asked - "Isn't Life Is Unfair"? I showed some beautiful paintings and asked them to evaluate from 1 to 10. Some could appreciate, some don't. So I asked them to take out a piece of paper and asked them to draw the paintings they have evaluated. Almost all of them exclaimed that they were not born with the talents to draw or to paint. The painting they were evaluating was Huang Guofu’s masterpiece. Huang Guofu didn’t let the childhood accident that left him armless at the age of four. He taught himself to paint with his feet at the age of 12. He recalls staying up all night at times just to practice. After his father fell ill, Guong, 18 at the time, quit school and decided to pursue painting as a profession in order to help pay for treatments. He started selling his art on the streets. His effort and dedication have not gone unnoticed. As his skills have progressed, so has his recognition. Huang Guofu was recently named vice-curator of the newly opened Chonqing Talents Museum. Now, dealers and art lovers around the world seek out his paintings. I asked the participants - 'do you think Huang Guofu was born with the talents or was it out of necessity & survival? Huang Guofu has overcome the adversity and, in fact he harnessed his adversity! Reflection: Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it. Is Life Is Unfair? Yes, indeed Life is Unfair. It is how we make the best out of our lives. By Morgan Raj David

Stay away from Anger... It hurts ...

Only You!!!



The Buddha explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion. One
day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young
man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching
others, he shouted." You are as stupid as everyone else. You are
nothing but a fake."

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man
"Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take
it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and
answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."

The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the
same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get
insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one
who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger
and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become
unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy."

The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Buddha. "You
are right, o Enlightened One, "he said. "Please teach me the path of
love. I wish to become your follower."

The Buddha answered kindly, "Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants
to learn. Come with me."

Beautiful Quotes

If you are right then there is no need to get angry, And if you are
wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.

Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence and
Patience with GOD is faith.

Never Think Hard about PAST, It brings Tears...
Don't Think more about FUTURE, It brings Fears...
Live this Moment with a Smile, It brings Cheers.!!!!

Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is our whether we become victim or victorious !!!

Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good but
good things are always beautiful.

Remember me like pressed flower in your Notebook. It may not be having
any fragrance but will remind you of my existence forever in your
life.

Do you know, why God created gaps between fingers? So that someone who
is special to you, comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands
forever.

Appreciations

A child, who has been over protected and habitually given whatever he or she  wanted, would develop the 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. 

This kind of person, may be good academically and may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel a 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?* 
You can let your kid live in a big house, eat  good meals, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let him experience it. After a meal, let him wash his plates and bowls together with his brothers and sisters. 

It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love him in the right way. You want him to understand, no matter how rich his parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young man. 

. 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.
