Little Boys Prayer ..Government taxes

A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.




Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs.50.



When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God , INDIA , they decided to forward

it to the President of the India as a joke.



The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs.20.



The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money (Rs.50) to a little boy,

and he did not want to spoil the kid.



The little boy was delighted with Rs...20, and decided to write a thank you note to God,

which read:



"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money.

However, I noticed that you sent it through the Rashtrapati Bhavan(President House) in New Delhi, and those donkeys deducted Rs.30 as tax ....... "

Learning and teaching ....good story

Chuan and Jing joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. Both worked very hard.








After several years, the boss promoted Jing to sales executive but Chuan remained a sales rep. One day Chuan could not take it anymore, tender resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.







The boss knew that Chuan worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Chuan realize the difference between him and Jing, the boss asked Chuan to do the following. Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market? Chuan returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Chuan went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.







Boss told Chuan, I will ask Jing the same question? Jing went, returned and said, boss, only one person selling water melon. $12 per kg, $100 for 10 kg, he has inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, every melon weighs about 15 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.







Chuan was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Jing. He decided not to resign but to learn from Jing.







A more successful person is more observant, think more and understand in depth. For the same matter, a more successful person sees several years ahead, while the others see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times!







Think! how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful in depth are you?

A delightful story

A delightful story about a young man who applied for a job as a telegraph operator. He answered an advertisement in the newspaper and went to the telegraph office to await an interviewer. Though he knew Morse code and he was qualified in every other way seven other applicants were also waiting in the large noisy office. He saw customers coming and going and heard a telegraph clacking away in the background. He also noticed a sign on the receptionist's counter instructing applicants to fill out a form and wait to be summoned to an inner office for an interview. He filled the form and sat down to wait.

After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up. Wondering why he had been so bold. They talked among themselves and finally determined that since nobody had been summoned to interview yet, the man would likely be reprimanded for not following instructions and possibly disqualified for the job.

Within a few minutes, however the man emerged from the inner office escorted by the interviewer who announced to the other applicants "Thank you all very much for coming, but the job has been filled". They were all confused and one man spoke up
"wait a minute - I did not understand. We have been waiting longer than he and we never even got a chance to be interviewed". The employer responded "All this while you"ve been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message- 'If you understand this, then come right in, the job is yours'. So you see, all of you were summoned but he heard and understood. "

This man knew a valuable life-reason that most people miss. Wherever you are, be there. You are there physically, be there emotionally. Be there mentally. Be there attentively. Be there as fully as you can. Wherever you are, be there; when you are completely present, you will make the most of every minute. And minutes lived fully add up to a life lived magnificently.

Self Confidence

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 cheque, 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. But instead, the executive decided to put the un-cashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought.
With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again. Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the un-cashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed 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 newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything.

Gratitude ..Good Story

Once there was a small kid on earth. One fine day it came to know that God is distributing apples to humans in his place at heaven. The kid was so happy to receive that news and it went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get the apple from God. There was a big queue standing to get apple from God and this kid also joined in that queue. While it was standing, it was fully excited and thrilled for the fact that it is going to receive in person from God's hands. It's turn too came and the kid showed its both the hands to receive apple. God gave the apple but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn't hold that big apple. Apple fell down and got wasted in mud. The kid got so disappointed. The ministers near the God informed that if the kid likes to have an apple from God again then it has to again follow the queue. Having waited for so long the kid didn't want to return back to earth with empty hands so it decided to wait again in the queue.
This time the queue has become even more longer than the previous one. While waiting in queue, the kid could see lot of people who returns back with apple in hands and utmost satisfaction on their faces. The kid was so much disappointed and thought why me alone didn't get the apple in hand when all others were easily able to get it. What is the sin I did that I alone should suffer like this. Now the kid was so scared that it should not miss the apple again. Again Its turn came and God gave the apple to the kid's hands and after giving the apple god spoke to the kid.
"My dear child, last time after giving you the apple only I noticed the apple I gave to you was a rotten apple and that's why I made that to fell down from your hands. Having given you a rotten apple, I felt bad for you and I wanted to give you the best apple in the farm and that time the best apple in the farm was growing and that's why I made you to wait such a long time in the queue. Here it is. Now the apple that you have in hand is 'The Best' apple in the farm till to date. Enjoy."
So, friends, sometimes it happens as even after we put our 100% dedication and commitment things may get delayed or things may go wrong. Believe that God has something great for us and that's why this has happened.
As said, 'Gratitude is absolutely the best way to bring more in one's life'.
Believe this and see the world..... Your world will also look green......
Keep Smiling J J J
