Pessimist

There was a hunter who bought an amazing bird dog. This one-of-a-kind dog could walk on water. The hunter was looking forward to showing off his new acquisition to his friends. He invited a friend to go duck hunting. After some time, they shot a few ducks and the man ordered his dog to fetch the birds. All day long, whenever there were birds to be fetched, the dog ran on water to retrieve the birds. The owner was expecting his friend to comment or compliment him about this amazing dog, but never got one. As they were returning home, he asked his friend if he had noticed anything unusual about his dog. The friend replied, "Yes, in fact, I did notice something unusual. Your dog can't swim"

SHOW CONSIDERATION

A ten- year old boy went to an ice-cream shop, sat at a table, and asked the waitress, "How much is an ice-cream cone?" She said, "Seventy-five cents." The boy started counting the coins he had in his hand. Then he asked how much a small cup of ice-cream was. The waitress impatiently replied, " Sixty-Five cents." The boy said, " I will have the small ice-cream cup." The boy ate his ice-cream, paid the bill, and left. When the waitress came to pick up the empty plate, she was touched. Underneath were ten one-cent coins left as the tip. The young boy had consideration for the waitress before he ordered his ice-cream. He showed sensitivity and caring. He thought of others before himself.

Consideration, courtesy and politeness,Thoughtfulness shows a caring attitude.

Assumptions

A man comes home with a brand new car. The whole family is looking at it. When the father says I will go to a big town next morning, his eldest son asks if he could go with him. So the next morning the father and the son go in the new car, the roads are empty and the man is driving very fast. A few kilometers from their starting point, suddenly a big truck appears just in front of them. The man cannot avoid it. There is an accident and both are seriously injured and are taken to the hospital. The surgeon arrives and says "I will not operate". Why does the surgeon say this? Now there can be many assumptions made that the child is already dead or that there was no one to sign etc. But the surgeon was the mother of the child.

Moral:

Normally the image created of a surgeon is connected with a male and hence we cannot imagine the mother of the child to be there. We guess and imagine and that prevent us from having a right idea of what it is really.

Self Motivation

A Person coming to work. On Friday evening when he is about to leave, if you ask him how does he feels? you will find that he is very enthusiastic and good mood happiness. When the same person comes to work on Monday morning mood even after a hectic day, in the evening,we ask him how he feels. When he is aware that the whole week will be the same, he feels tired, drained, exhausted and knows that he has to pull himself through the week.So what was the not there on Monday evening? Nobody motivated him on Friday. The motivation was from within.There was no incentive or appreciation from anyone which may be the basis of his motivation. On the contrary,during the weekend, he may have incurred more expenses to fulfill the demand of his family, but still he was happy.The basis of his motivation was that his heart is at home. If he can bring the same heart to the workplace he will be enthusiastic, and motivated.This one applies to responsibility and commitment.

Change in Us

Once there was a storm in the ocean and many ships were taken away from their normal course in another direction.There was a battleship which was also driven in another direction by the storm. When the storm calmed down at midnight, the captain of the ship asked one of his officers, to go on the deck and see in which direction they were and set the ship accordingly. The officer was so enthusiastic that he went up, saw the direction and changed the direction of their ship. Then he started looking around.Far off on the same course, he visualised a steady light, so he came down and informed the captain.The captain asked to send a message to the other ship, to change its direction 20 degrees. The officer sent the message, and an immediate flashing message came back saying, "It is advisable for you to change20 degrees." The officer gave the message to the captain, As soon as the captain got the message; he was angry and asked what did he think of himself, advising him to change 20 degrees. So the captain of the battleship asked the officer to send a message on him name. The officer sent another message accordingly that the captain of the battleship requests you to change 20 degrees immediately. An immediate flashing message came back saying: "i am a second class seaman speaking but still it is advisable for you to change 20 degrees." The captain was furious and asked his officer to tell him that it was a battleship and it could not change its course. An immediate flashing message came back: " But I am lighthouse. How can I change?"So when the understanding of the captain changed that it was a lighthouse which could not change, the captain of the battleship then changed his mind.
Moral of the story: We always expect others to change. we can change us easily comparing to change others.

Today's Life

Once there were two people walking through a jungle when suddenly they heard the roar of a lion.One person sensing the danger, immediately removed his jungle boots and put on his running shoes.The other person asked him with great astonishment, What, do you think by wearing the running shoes are you going to run faster than the lion? The man replied, I don't think so, but at leastI can run faster than you because the lion needs only one victim and by the time he catches you I will be out of sight. So this is what is virtually happening today in the highly competitive world.

LIFE IS AN ECHO
