There was a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair.
He had all colors of balloons, including red, yellow, blue, and green.Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-filled balloon into the air and when the children saw it go up, they all wanted to buy one.They would come up to him, buy a balloon, and his sales would go up again.He continued this process all day. One day, he felt someone tugging at his jacket.He turned around and saw a little boy who asked, "If you release a black balloon, would that also fly?" Moved by the boy's concern, the man replied with empathy, "Son, it is not the color of the balloon, it is what is inside that makes it go up."
The same thing applies to our lives. It is what is inside that counts. The thing inside of us that makes us go up is our attitude.
Someone once approached Blaise Pascal, the famous French philosopher and said, "If I had your brains, I would be a better person." Pascal replied, "Be a better person and you will have my brains."
The Calgary Tower stands at 190.8 meters. The total weight of the tower is 10,884 tons, of which 6,349 tons is below ground (approximately 60%).This shows that some of the greatest buildings have the strongest foundations.Just like a great building stands on a strong foundation, so does success. And the foundation of success is attitude.
Superb
ReplyDeleteIs only the helium, the thing inside the baloon fly? Is their no significance of the baloon? Isn't the container,the baloon has all the characteristics to fly with the help of helium?
ReplyDeleteIsn't the sole purpose of the baloon seller is to attract children's through the baloon? Not through the helium? Has the kid enough understanding about the helium not the baloon? Isn't in the kids eye the baloon has more significance than the helium?
Isn't the looks of the baloon has more significance 8n the kids eye than the helium gas?
Few thoughts of mine..
