Most Difficult Things in the world can be Done in Simplest way (Tactics)

A lady takes her pet chihuahua with her on a safari holiday. Wandering too far one day the chihuahua gets lost in the bush, and soon encounters a very hungry looking leopard. The chihuahua realises he's in trouble, but, noticing some fresh bones on the ground, he settles down to chew on them, with his back to the big cat. As the leopard is about to leap, the chihuahua smacks his lips and exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here."

The leopard stops mid-stride, and slinks away into the trees.

"Phew," says the leopard, "that was close - that evil little dog nearly had me."

A monkey nearby sees everything and thinks he'll win a favour by putting the stupid leopard straight. The chihuahua sees the monkey go after the leopard, and guesses he might be up to no good.

When the leopard hears the monkey's story he feels angry at being made a fool, and offers the monkey a ride back to see him exact his revenge.

The little dog sees them approaching and fears the worse.

Thinking quickly, the little dog turns his back, pretends not to notice them, and when the pair are within earshot says aloud, "Now where's that monkey got to? I sent him ages ago to bring me another leopard... :D" 

Potatoes, Eggs and Coffee

Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

 

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter.

 

The daughter moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes, he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

 

Turning to her, he asked, "Daughter, what do you see?"

 

"Potatoes, eggs, and coffee," she hastily replied.

 

"Look closer," he said, "and touch the potatoes." She did and noted that they were soft.

 

He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.

 

Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

 

"Father, what does this mean?" she asked.

 

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs, and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity, the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.

 

The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.

 

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

 

"Which are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you resopnd? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

 

In life, things happen around us and things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

Problems can be Opportunties.

Once upon a time a farmer owned an old mule who tripped and fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule braying and was unable to figure out how to bring up the old animal. It grieved him that he could not pull the animal out. He'd been a good worker around the farm. Although the farmer sympathized with the mule, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened. He had them help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and quietly put him out of his misery.

 

At first, the old mule was puzzled, but as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, he had a thought: he ought to shake off the dirt and step up. And he did just that.

 

"Shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up." Even though he took painful blows of dirt and fought panic, he just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up!

 

It wasn't long before the old mule stepped up and over the lip of that well. What could have buried him actually blessed him...all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.

Buddha And the Abuse.

It  is said  that  on an occasion when the Buddha was teaching a group of people, he found himself  on  the receiving end of a  fierce outburst of abuse from a bystander,  who was for some reason very angry.
The  Buddha  listened  patiently  while  the  stranger  vented his rage, and then the Buddha said to the group and to the stranger,  "If someone gives a gift to another person, who then chooses to decline it,  tell me,  who would then own the gift ?  The giver or the person who refuses to accept the gift?"
"The  giver,"  said the group after a little thought.  "Any fool can see that,"  added the angry stranger.
"Then it follows, does it not,"  said the Buddha, "Whenever a person tries to abuse us, or to unload their anger on us,  we can  each  choose to decline or to accept the abuse; whether to make it ours or not. By our personal response to the abuse from another, we can choose who owns and keeps the bad feelings."

The Ass and His Masters.

AN ASS, belonging  to an  herb-seller  who  gave him too little food and too much work made  a  petition  to  Jupiter to be released from his present service and provided with another master.  Jupiter,  after warning  him that  he would repent his request, caused him to be sold to a  tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he had heavier loads to carry  and  harder  work  in the brick-field, he petitioned for another change of master. Jupiter,  telling  him  that  it  would  be  the  last  time that he could grant his request, ordained  that  he  be  sold to  a tanner. The  Ass  found that he had fallen into worse hands, and noting his master's  occupation, said, groaning:  "It would have been better for  me  to  have  been  either starved by the one, or to have been overworked by the other  of  my former masters, than to have been bought by my present owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, and make me useful to him."

He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.

Two Wolves.

One  evening  an  old  Cherokee  told  his  grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy,jealousy,sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,  superiority,  and ego.  The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The  grandson  thought  about  it  for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Believe in Yourself

here may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.
