IMPORTANCE OF ATTITUDE

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.

  1. Is 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?
    Isn'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..

SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE NEGATIVE

T here was a hunter who bought a bird dog,( the dog which hunt bird ). That  could walk on water.  He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this miracle.   At the  same time, he was very pleased that he could show off his new acquisition to his friends.  He invited a friend to go duck hunting. After some time, they shot a few ducks and the  man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds.  All day-long, the dog ran on water and  kept fetching the birds.  The owner was expecting    a comment or a compliment about his  amazing dog, but never got one.   As they were returning home, he asked his friend if he  had noticed anything unusual about his dog. The friend replied "Yes, in fact, I did notice  something unusual. Your dog can't swim." Some people criticize no matter what. It does not matter which side you are on, they are always on the other side.They criticize as if they will win a prize at a contest.T...

EDUCATION DOES NOT MEAN GOOD JUDGEMENT

There is a story about a man who sold pizza and burger by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read  newspapers . He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of pizza and burger. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more meat and got himself a bigger and a better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from college, joined his father. Then something strange happened. The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad time." The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, and listened to the radio, he ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day, the f...
