Whats More Important ??

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy, may I ask you a question?" "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily. "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy. "If you must know, I make $20 an hour." "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?" The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep, son?" He asked. "No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man, "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

Change your strategy:~

One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building witha hat by his feet and a sign that read:" I am blind, please help".A creative publicist was walking by him and stopped to observe he onlyhad a few coins in his hat, he dropped a few more coins in his hat andwithout asking for his permission took the sign, turned it around andwrote another announcement.He placed the sign by his feet and left. That afternoon the creativepublicist returned by the blind man and noticed that his hat was fullof bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and askedif it was him who had re-written his sign and he wanted to know whathe wrote on it.The publicist responded:" Nothing that was not true, I just rewroteyour sign differently". He smiled and went on his way. The blind mannever knew but his new sign read:" TODAY IS SPRING AND I CANNOT SEE IT".Change your strategy when something does not go your way and you'llsee it will probably be for the best. Have faith that every change is best for our lives.

United V Stand , Divided V Fall !!
A few weeks ago NIMH (National Institute of Mentally Handicapped, Hyderabad,India) had conducted a sports meet for all the Physically & mentally handicapped children at National Stadium Hyderabad. In one race. Nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled,assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back......every one of them. One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, "This will make it better." Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes. People who were there are still telling the story. Why??
Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course. If you pass this on, we may be able to change our hearts as well as Someone else's. "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" Please tell others about it - at least to the people who will understand the meaning of the message..!!
