Why do we shout in anger:

A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?' 

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout.' 

'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you are angry?' 

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint. 

Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.' 

Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...' 

The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.' 

Always remember that when you argue, don't let your hearts get distant, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return. Lets not say words that distance each other more 

Recession: It’s all in your MIND

This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. 

He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. 

He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. 

His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. 

But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. 

He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. 

His sales and profit went up. 

He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. 

He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. 

He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. 

As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father. 

Then something strange happened. 

The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" 

The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible.. 

The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times." 

The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. 

He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. 

So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colourful signboard, 

removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. 

He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. 

Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. 

And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit. 

The father said to his son, "Son, you were right".. 

"We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time." 

Moral of The Story:  It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!! 

We should never get confuse by intelligence with good judgment

Stone and Sand

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of their journey they had an argument, and one friend Slapped the other on the face. 

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: 

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME ON THE FACE. 

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. 

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: 

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. 

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" 

The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. 

But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it." 

We should learn to write our huts in the sand and Carve our benefits in stone.
