Daughters are Special
It’s been said, on the
first day of their marriage, wife and husband decided and agreed not to open
the door for anyone! On that day first, husband’s parents came to see them,
they were behind the door.
Husband and the wife
looked at each other, husband wanted to open the door, but since they had an
agreement he did not open the door, so his parents left.
After a while the same
day , wife’s parents came , wife and the husband looked at each other and even
though they had an agreement , wife with tears on her eyes whispered , I can’t
do this to my parents , and she opened the door.
Husband did not say
anything, years passed and they had 7 boys and the eighth child was a girl. The
father, planned a very big party for the new born baby girl, and he invited
everyone over.
Later that night his wife
asked him what was the reason for such a big celebration for this baby while we
did not do it for the others!
The Husband simply
replied, because she is the one who will open the door for me!
KEEP GOING
A business executive was deep in debt
and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were
demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if
anything could save his company from bankruptcy.
Suddenly an old man appeared before
him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he
said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I
believe I can help you." He asked the man his name, wrote out a
check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me
here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that
time." Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.
The business executive saw in his hand
a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the
richest men in the world!
"I can erase my money worries in
an instant!" he realized.Nonetheless, the executive decided to put
the check in his safe first. Just knowing it was there, would give him the
strength to work out away to save his business, he thought.
With renewed optimism, he negotiated
better deals and got extended terms of payment from creditors. Soon he
could close some big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt
and making money once again.
Exactly a year later, he returned to
the park with that uncashed check. The old man did not appear for some
time yet the business executive decided to wait for a while more.
A while later the old man came
along the way but seemed to be unmindful of the business executive. He
stopped the old man and was about the hand over the cheque with a few
words of thanks as well as share his success story.
At the same time, he saw a nurse come
running up and grabbing the old man. "I'm so glad I caught him!"
she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from
the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller." And she
led the old man away by the arm.
The astonished executive just stood
there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and
selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly,
he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned
his life around. It was his new found self-confidence that gave him the
power to achieve anything he went after. He understood that Confidence is
nothing but the distant vision held positively no matter what comes in
between. It comes from one's own commitment and dedication and entirely
internal.
"Our duty is to encourage everyone
in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same
time to make the ideal as near as possible to the truth"
Some thing Very Interesting ...
Professor Ernest Brennecke of
Columbia University is credited with inventing a sentence that can be made to
have eight different meanings by placing ONE WORD in all possible positions in
the sentence: "I hit him in the eye yesterday"
1.
ONLY I hit him in the eye yesterday. (No one else did.)
2.
I ONLY hit him in the eye yesterday. (Did not slap him.)
3.
I hit ONLY him in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit others.)
4.
I hit him ONLY in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit outside the eye.)
5.
I hit him in ONLY the eye yesterday. (Not other organs.)
6.
I hit him in the ONLY eye yesterday. (He doesn't have another eye..)
7.
I hit him in the eye ONLY yesterday. (Not today.)
8.
I hit him in the eye yesterday ONLY. (Did not wait for today.)
This is why it is important to be
precise!
