Dream Success: Attitude makes a difference!

Dream Success: Attitude makes a difference!


Life teaches us many lessons but in the end what matters to be successful is that you are content with what you have. Let us find out through this short story.

Inspiring story 7:


Nelson 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 and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along with them. The wise man said, “If you had a diamonds the size of your thumb, you could buy your own city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably buy your own country. ” And then the wise man left. That night, Nelson couldn’t sleep. He was unhappy and discontented. He was unhappy because he was discontented and discontented because he was unhappy.
The next morning Nelson made arrangements to sell his farm, took care of his family and went off in search of diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn’t find any. He looked all through Europe and couldn’t find any. By the time he got to Spain, he was emotionally, physically and financially broke. He was so disheartened that he threw himself into Barcelona River and committed suicide.
Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at the stream that ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow. He thought the stone would look in his living room. He picked up the stone and put it on his mantle piece. That afternoon, the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. He asked, “Is nelson is back?” the wise man said, “Because that is diamond. I recognise one when I see one.” The man said, “NO that’s just a stone I picked up from the stream.” Come I’ll show you. There are many more. They went and picked some samples and sent them for analysis. Sure enough, the stones were diamonds. They found that the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of diamonds”
    

Morals:

·         When our attitude is right, we realise that we are all walking on acres of diamonds. Opportunities are always under our feet. We don’t have to go anywhere.
·         People, who don’t know how to recognise opportunities, complain of noise when they knock.

·         An opportunity only knocks once.

They met and Socrates asked the young man to walk with hi towards the river. When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and pushed him under the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates kept him there. When the boy started turning blue, Socrates raised the boy's head out of the water. The first thing thing the boy did was take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked the, "What did you want the most when you were under water?" The boy replied, "Air." Socrates said, "That is secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted air underwater, you will have it." There is no other S...

Dream IIT-JEE : Only efforts can do!

IIT-JEE Inspiration: Only Efforts can do!   Inspiring story 2: A man bought a race horse and put him in a barn with a big sign, “The fastest horse in the world.” The Owner didn’t exercise the horse nor train it to keep it in good shape. He entered the horse in a race and it came last.
