Standards

In a little village, a man always stopped by a clock shop window to set his watch every morning.

One day the clock shop owner stepped outside and asked this man, "Why do you stop here every morning and set your watch?"

The man replied, "I work at the big factory down the street, and I am in charge of blowing the noon whistle every day. I stop here every morning to make sure I have the exact time."

Man in the Hole

A man was walking along and fell into such a deep hole that he could not get out. So he began to shout very loudly for help.

A learned professor came along and found him. He looked down into the hole and lectured the unfortunate man: "Why were you so foolish as to fall down there in the first place? You should be more careful. If you ever get out again, watch your step."

And with that he took off.

Then a holy monk came along. He looked down into the hole and told the man, "I'll try to reach down as far as I can, and you reach up as far as you can. If I can grab your hand, I'll pull you out."

Living on Purpose

They said he had died!

One morning in 1888 Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, who had amassed a fortune manufacturing and selling weapons of destruction, awoke to read his own obituary in the newspaper.

Actually, it was his brother who had died, but a reporter mistakenly wrote Alfred's obituary.

For the first time Alfred Nobel saw himself as the world saw him: "the dynamite king" and nothing more.

Finding Your Real Self

What if you could be anything, or anybody? Who would you chose to be? Would you be strong business leader? A minister? A celebrated athlete?
A reporter asked George Bernard Shaw to play the "What if" game shortly before he died. "Mr Shaw," he asked, "you have visited with some of the most famous people in the world. You have known royalty, world-renowned authors, artists, teachers of the world. If you could live your life over and be anybody you've known,

Making People Pray

A bus driver and a priest died at the same time. Although the driver was sent directly to heaven, the priest's case was apparently harder to decide.

"I don't mind that you sent a bus driver to heaven," the priest was heard complaining. "But after all, I was a priest. So why should I be kept waiting?"

A Positive Attitude

A positive attitude is every bit as important to  success as talent. It's important, too, to remember that optimism - like actions - speaks louder than words. many enormously successful people have bent over backwards to appear prudent- belittling even themselves or their own achievements - without ever slowing down in their pursuit of excellence. Let me give you some examples.

The great inventor said: "The phonograph is not of any commercial value," and "the radio craze will die out in time." The speaker was Thomas Edison.

Forgive Me When I Whine

Today, upon a bus, A saw a lovely girl with golden hair.
I envied her. She seemed so gay, and wished I were as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg, and wore a crutch.
But as she passed - a smile.
O God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs. The world is mine!

Afraid of Dying?

Certainly all of us were afraid to die, especially those who understand the essence of life. But there are people who won't afraid to die, those who perceived life as meaningless, those who don't see and feel the beauty and purpose of living.
But life on earth is very short; one, ten, thirty, fifty, seventy, ninety, or even more than hundred years, those years of existence here on earth are very short period. The long and short period of existence are the same, you live long with many problems and sorrows, and live short with little problems and sorrows. Most of us aspire to live happily and conveniently, but how many people live conveniently in having more wealth and money.

Footprints in the Sand

One night a man dream t that he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his past life. Each time he noticed that there were two sets of footprints on the sand: one belonging to him and another to the Lord.


But he noticed that sometimes there were one of footprints. And he could recall, this was during the saddest and hardest days of his life.


This bothered him and he complained to the Lord and said, "Lord you told me that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, But now I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you left me just at the times when I needed you most."
