             NATURE LOVES OPPOSITE
            ##########################
  It seems that nature loves opposite.Where there is day and light,there is night and darkness too.With the suffering of defeat and pain,there is the euphoria of victory and happiness. Tears are tempered by laughter and the dream of the beautiful rose is balanced by the reality of piercing thorns. Life ends in death!
     The cool breeze has the propensity to inflict terror and destruction as a storm.Life saving water can destroy the same life while in flood. The warmth of heat can singe,scorch and incinerate as raging fire !!

WHEN A MAN IS PENNILESS.........

                                                 JAI MAA KAALI
                   When a man is penniless
                   $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
 When a man is penniless,his kinsmen find no time to give him the time of day; his pride takes a beating; his moon of good conduct wanes,vanishes,leaving no trace;in cold indifference his friends jettison him;misfortunes swell and burgeon;soon other's misdeeds are imputed to him.Oppressed by waning fortunes,struck down by cruel time,a man sees his friends even become foes,while long-standing affection turns cold. He is let down by all and sundry.He becomes a living corpse!!

                               SETBACK
                             ^^^^^^^^^^
In the life of a human being,setbacks and failures are inevitable They are part and parcel of life. In fact,failure is the highway to success. Tom Wastom Sr of IBM said,"If you want to succeed,double your failure rate"
    If we ogle at history, we would find that all stories of success are also stories of great failures. Thomas Alva Edison made two thousand experiments in quest of a filament for the light bulb.When none fructified,his assistant lamented,"All our work proved a wild goose chase.we have gotten nowhere." "On the contrary,"Edison chortled,"We have learnt a lot.we know that there are two thousand materials which will not make a good filament.".
  We should not be daunted by the setbacks and failures.Instead,we ought to learn from our failures and keep going.A setback can act as a driving force to excel in our endeavours and fight tooth and nails to overcome the failures.Learn to become VICTORS,not VICTIMS.Ask yourself after every failure:what did i learn from this experience? Only then will you be able to turn a stumbling block into a stepping stone.
   Let us draw inspiration from the following assumptions:-
Every living human being has problems.
Every problem has a limited life span.
Every problem will change you.
You can choose what your problem will do to you.
There is a negative and a positive reaction to every problem.

                                                            WISDOM 
 IT is said that memory is the mother of all wisdom.A merchant wanted to ascertain which of his two sons was more worthy of inheriting his property.After a long deliberation,he thought of a plan.He summoned his two sons and giving each a coin said,"Buy with this money something which will fill the house."
  The elder son scampered to the marketplace where he learned that the cheapest and bulkiest thing he could buy was straw.He spent his coin for that,but had not enough even to cover the floor.The younger one,perceiving that his dad had entrusted him with a mission,which could be executed only by unusual shrewdness and sagacity,mulled over the matter for a long time and finally spent his coin in purchasing candles. These he took home and lighted one in each room,so that the light they emitted filled the house.
 The merchant was very happy and impressed.He said to him,"You have shown wisdom.You deserve the inheritance.I give over all my business to you."

      CRITICISM
     &&&&&&&
  Once a potter and his son were trudging along the way to a market.They were driving their pet donkey with them.
 A bevy of girls saw them and started laughing.One maiden warbled,"Look at those two nincompoops.They are going on foot when the donkey can carry one of them on his back."
 This remark was within the earshot of the potter.He lifted his son and made him perch on the back of the donkey.After going some distance,they met an old guy.The guy rebuked the boy,'You are riding like a king while your dad is walking on foot.This is shameful.'
  The son instantaneously dismounted and asked his father to get on the donkey.After some distance,they came across a bunch of young lads.One lad exclaimed with sheer contempt,"Look at that cruel and selfish old man.He is comfortably riding the donkey while the poor son is walking."
   So the father lifted the son up and the two rode to the market.When they were approaching the market,a merchant snubbed them,"You cruel fools,have you no shame?You are going to kill this poor animal with your weight.You can carry the hapless donkey better than he can carry you."
  Thus reprimanded,the potter and his son got off the donkey.they tied the legs of the donkey together,slung him on a pole and carried him on their shoulders.
  The people on the way saw this sight and burst into peals of laughters. The cacophony frightened the donkey.It kicked through the cords,flumped down the pole and tried to scoot away.It fell into the river and was drowned.

MORAL OF THE STORY----DON'T LEND  EARS TO UNDUE CRITICISM.
