Just the other day, I told my daughter – Accept what you are getting with Gratitude, and not with Attitude!
And then patted my own back for saying such golden words!
But whatever you say in anger never sticks! all she would have heard is loud noise and not my words! wisdom down the drain!
I learnt these two from our ranger who led our bush walk this weekend. Me and my son were at a Scouts Camp (I’ll write about that sometime later maybe).
So, the two rules:
Now while this is golden for bush walking and taking care of our environment, this is so true for life in general as well. Think about it?
To every champion who has tripped, fallen, failed on screen… You help pass a very very important message to kids growing up.
Its OK to fall, its OK to fail! you are a champion because you get up and get going again!
Buying startups is not really supporting startups… It’s the exact opposite!
Just saying…
I got two emails today at work… Within a matter of a minute…
1. Announcing a 2 minute silence for an employee who passed away in a tragic road accident.
2. Announcing sweets at a colleague’s desk to celebrate a baby boy’s arrival
And life goes on…
Yeah right!
Even bad news could have good timing, great timing infact! I don’t think that is a rare case either! A lot of bad news in a different perspective have some good hidden somewhere…
I am not referring to the news of someone’s near and dear ones going! They are horrible news! Losing someone close can never be good! I am only talking about the bad news!
I am sure this has happened to you a few times…
You stop at a traffic light, or in a jam, or at a turn… suddenly you feel that your vehicle is moving backwards… and you push the breaks, only to find out that nothing changed! You are still moving backwards… and then within a split second you realize that its not your vehicle that is moving backwards, its the one that you were looking at that has started moving forward slowly!
I feel life is very similar.. there are times when we are not moving… we are where we are, waiting for our opportunity to press the gas and moving ahead… but we suddenly feel that our movement is not in the direction we expected, but backwards… and we tend to take some corrective action before realizing what just happened!
We mostly act on relativity… and I am not done writing about it yet! I am holding on to this thought, while I pull myself together!
