Thought for the day

"You work 8 hours to live 4.
You work 6 days to enjoy 1.
You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes.
You work 8 hours to sleep 5.
You work all year just to take a week or two vacation.
You work all your life so you can retire in old age.
And to contemplate only your last sighs.
Eventually you realise that life is nothing but a parody of yourself practicing your own forgetfulness.
We've become so accustomed to material, social slavery that we no longer see the chains"

Life is a short trip, live it!

There was a snake that crawled over a sharp saw and was cut. In anger the snake wrapped the saw with its thick body and proceeded to squeeze the life out of the saw. 

With each angry squeeze it felt more pain but continued because it wasn’t going to let the saw get away with the pain it caused it. 

The snake, refusing to let go of the saw, eventually died; not knowing the whole time,  he needed to let go of the initial pain and focus on its future and where it was going. Instead, the snake unfortunately lost its life and didn’t even see it coming. 

Control your anger, forgive those that hurt you, and don’t give people or things power over you. It can eventually kill you.

A professor gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The professor then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon.

Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon.
At that point, the professor told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.

The professor said to the students:

"These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."

Story with a lesson for life.

Ignore the labels other people give you!

During a prank, a student stuck a paper on his classmate's back that said "?'? ??????", and asked the rest of the class not to tell the boy.

As a result, the students began laughing on and off...

In the afternoon the maths class started and their teacher wrote a difficult question on the board.

No one was able to answer it except the boy with the sticker.

Amid the unexplained giggles, he walked toward the board and solved the problem.

The teacher asked the class to clap for him and she removed the paper on his back.

She told him: "It seems that you don’t know about the paper your classmate has stuck on your back."

Then the teacher looked at the rest of the class and said:

“Let me tell you 2 things about Life:

First, throughout your Life, people will put labels on you with many nasty words to stop your progress.

If your classmate known about the paper, he wouldn't have gotten up to answer the question.

??? ??? ???? ?? ?? ?? ???? ?? ?????? ??? ?????? ?????? ???? ??? ??? ????? ????? ??????????? ??? ???? ?? ?????, ???? ??? ??????? ????????."

"Second, it’s clear that he doesn't have any loyal friend among you all to tell him about the sticker.

It doesn't matter how many friends you have - it is the loyalty you share with your friends that matters.

?? ??? ???'? ???? ??????? ??? ??? ?????? ??? ?????? ???? ????, ??? ??? ????? ???? ???, ??????? ??? ??? ??? ????????? ???? ????? ???, ??? ??? ?????? ??? ?????."

Ignore the labels others give you.

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY: 

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee? 

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. 

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratitude, peace and humility? 

Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting-tendencies? 

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. 

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others. ?
