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..

ACRES OF DIAMONDS

There was a farmer in Africa who was happy and content. He was happy because he was content. He was content because he was happy. One day a wise man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along with them. The wise man said, "If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably own your own country." And then he went away. That night the farmer couldn't sleep. He was unhappy and he was discontent. He was unhappy because he was discontent and discontent because he was unhappy. The next morning he made arrangements to sell off his farm, took care of his family and went in search of diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any. He looked all through Europe and couldn't find any. When he got to Spain, he was emotionally, physically and financially broke. He got so disheartened that he threw himself into the Barcelona River and committ...

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.

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...
