Now this one on #Patience being the #EssenceOfLife for sure is #TooGoodNotToShare

A Teacher gave a toffee to each of the children of the class and then said a strange thing “Listen children; please do not eat this toffee for the next ten minutes & he walked out of the classroom
There was pin drop silence in the classroom for a few moments, every child was looking at the toffee in front of them and it was difficult to stop themselves with each passing moment.

After the Ten minutes are over the teacher enters the class & reviews on who is doing what ..
There were seven children in the whole class, whose toffees were as it is while all other children were eating toffee & commenting on its color & taste.

The teacher recorded the names of these seven children in his diary.
The name of this teacher was Professor Walter Mischel. At stanford university.

After a few years, Professor Mischel opened his old diary and found the names of those seven children and started researching them.
After some effort he was able to trace them all and noticed that the seven children have achieved many successes in their lives and are the most successful among their own field people.
Professor Mischel also reviewed the names of the rest of the class of students and found that most of them were leading a normal life, while there were some who met with strict economic and social conditions.
All this effort and research resulted in one sentence by Professor Walter and that was..

*A man who cannot be patient for ten minutes can never move forward in life*
This research gained worldwide prominence and was named #MarshmallowTheory because the toffee that Professor Walter gave the children was Marshmallow.

It was soft like foam.
According to this theory, most successful people in the world are found with the special qualitiy of #Patience
This quality increases the strength of the human being, due to which the person is neither disappointed nor deterred in difficult situations & the same leads to him or her becoming an extraordinary personality.

#PatienceIsTheEssenceOfLife

Read an interesting message and felt it was #TooGoodNotToShare

When a huge Airbus A380 was flying across the Atlantic, there happened to be a small fighter jet patrolling nearby.
The fighter pilot slowed down, flew side by side with the Airbus, and then greeted the old Airbus captain with the communication radio:

"Hi, Captain Airbus, is long-distance flying boring?

Take care!

Show you a rare flight show!”
After speaking, the little fighter began to roll, accelerate, break through the sonic barrier, climb rapidly, dazzling and then dive almost to sea level at a breathtaking speed.

After the dazzling performance, the fighter flew back to the airbus.
Asked: "How is it? Admire it?"

I read a #TouchingStory and felt it was #TooGoodNotToShare

“In 1979, I was managing a Wendy's in Port Richey, Florida.

Unlike today, staffing was never a real problem, but I was searching for a someone to work three hours a day only at lunch.
I went thru all my applications and most were all looking for full time or at least 20 hours per week. I found one however, buried at the bottom of a four-inch stack that was only looking for lunch part-time. His name was Nicky.
Hadn't met him but thought I would give him a call and see if he could stop by for an interview. When I called, he wasn't in but his mom said she would make sure he would be there.

At the accorded time, Nicky walked in. One of those moments when my heart went in my throat.

I read an interesting post and felt it’s #TooGoodNotToShare

A few years ago there was a conference in the United States on investment and finance. During the question and answer session, one of the speakers was asked a question that had everyone laughing.
If he, the richest man in the world, could accept that his daughter marry a poor or modest man?

He said & his answer can change something in everyone-
“First of all,understand that Wealth does not mean having a fat bank account. Wealth is primarily the ability to create wealth.
Example: Someone who wins the lottery or in gambling.

Even if he wins 100 millions is not a rich man.

He is a poor man with a lot of money. That's the reason why 90% of the lottery millionaires become poor again after 5 years.

You also have rich people who have no money.

I read this short and inspiring story about being a #BeggarOrBusinessman and felt it to be #TooGoodNotToShare

I am sure you will enjoy the reading ..

Do you know the difference between a beggar and a business man?

Please read to the end to get the full gist of it ..
Once, a beggar while begging in a train, noticed a well-dressed businessman wearing a suit and boots.

He thought that this man must be very rich, so he will surely give good money if I ask him.

So he went and asked that man for alms.
The man looked at the beggar and said, "You always beg and keep asking from people, do you ever give anything to anyone?"

The beggar said, "Sir, I am a beggar, I can only keep asking people for money. How will I be able to give anything to anyone?"

Came across this Nice collection of profound statements and felt it was #TooGoodNotToShare

Enjoy the read!!!

✅Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain, just pray for a better umbrella.
That is called #Attitude.
✅When flood comes, fish eat ants & when flood recedes, ants eat fish.
Only time matters.
Just hold on.
God gives #Opportunity to every one.
✅In a theatre when drama plays, you opt for front seats. When film is screened, you opt for rear seats.
Your position in life is only relative & #NotAbsolute.

✅For making soap, oil is required. But to clean oil, soap is required. This is the #IronyOfLife.

I find this to be Very interesting and meaningful message.

#TooGoodNotToShare

If each alphabet has a numeric value &
A is 1
B is 2
C is 3
D is 4
E is 5
F is 6
G is 7
H is 8
I is 9
J is 10
K is 11
L is 12
M is 13
N is 14
O is 15
P is 16
Q is 17
R is 18
S is 19
T is 20
U is 21
V is 22
W is 23
X is 24
Y is 25 &
Z is 26

THEN

#Hardwork is 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11
=98%

#Knowledge is 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5
=96%

#Love is 12+15+22+5 = 54%

#Luck is 12+21+3+11 = 47%

None of them makes 100%

Then what makes 100%?
Is it Money?
NO!

#Money is 13+15+14+5+25 = 72%

Leadership?
NO!

#Leadership is 12+5+1+4+5+18+19+8+9+16
=97%

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our … #Attitude

#Attitude is 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
