Are you rich?

Hi friends, I found this article in my mail...an excellent one..another occasion of a child teaching his father :)

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the
trip?'

'It was great, Dad.'

'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.

'Oh yeah,' said the son.
'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father

The son answered:
I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!

'Life is too short and friends are too few.'


Good one, isn't it?

William Shakespeare's quote on friendship

" Friendship is not measured when both take care of each other;
It's measured when one ignores and the other still continues"

Sir Don's stunning interview

Hi friends, I came to know about this interview through a commentator in an India vs Australia match.

An interviewer asked Sir Don Bradman about what his average would have been if he had batted in this current era.

Sir Don said," might be in the mid fifties."

The interviewer asked whether he thought that it would be too difficult to bat in this era.

Sir Don said," No, not at all, now I am a little aged and not so fit as I was then. So, I wouldn't have been able to have averaged close to 100 now."

The interviewer was shocked.

Wow what a man...He is ofcourse a super human being.

Precious time

This is a famous quote written at a tokyo bus stop.

"Only bus stops here,
not time,
so don't waste your time,
keep moving with your duties"

Donate blood

This ia an excellent quote written in one of the hoardings
to rapid speed drivers:

"If you want to donate your blood,
dont do it on the road,
donate it to the blood bank!"

"Never design your character like a garden

where anyone can walk,

design it like a sky

where everyone aspire to reach...."

Keep rocking.
