Received a very nice #ShortStory from a friend, Ade & felt it was #TooGoodNotToShare ..

A “mouse” was put at the top of a jar filled with grains. He was too happy to find so much food around him. Now he doesn’t need to run around searching for food and can happily lead his life. Image
As he enjoyed the grains, in a few days’ time, he reached the bottom of the jar.

Now he is trapped and he cannot come out of it. He has to solely depend upon someone to put grains in the same jar for him to survive.
He may even not get the grain of his choice and he cannot choose either.

Here are FOUR #InvaluableLessons to learn and remember from this story:

1. Short term pleasures can lead to long-term traps.
2. If things are coming easy and you are getting comfortable, you are getting trapped into survival mode.

3. When you are not using your skills, you will lose more than your skills. You lose your CHOICES.
4) The right Action has to be taken at the right time, or else you will lose whatever you have.

Thanks 🙏 for reading whilst I request you to Please Think about it & retweet & or share with your loved ones you if you also feel that the #InvaluableLessons are #TooGoodNotToShare.

I read a #BrilliantArticle, just couldn't resist sharing.. Please read it and share with others if you as well find it to be #TooGoodNotToShare

It’s about how #DucksQuack, whilst #EaglesSoar

Here we go ..

I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport in Dubai. Image
When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.
He handed me a laminated card and said: 'I'm Abdul, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'

Taken aback, I read the card.

I read another short story with some lovely lessons & I believe it’s #TooGoodNotToShare ..

An elderly woman had two large pots, each hung on
the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect with no cracks.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
BUT the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream and said ..

This is a really nice story that I received from a friend and believe it’s #TooGoodNotToShare

This story demonstrates why the experts need to be paid more for their services and how the power of knowledge is important.
A giant ship engine once failed.

The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young boy.
He carried a large bag of tools with him and he immediately went to work on arrival without asking many questions. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do.

#FaithCanMoveMountains...

Beautiful story!!

Reading This brought tears down my eyes this morning...!!!

Its worth a read and surely #TooGoodNotToShare .

In the country of Armenia, in 1988, Samuel and Danielle sent their young son, Armand, off to school.
Samuel squatted before his son and looked him in the eye. "Have a good day at school, and remember, no matter what, I’ll always be there for you." They hugged and the boy ran off to school.

Hours later, a powerful earthquake rocked the area.
In the midst of the pandemonium, Samuel and Danielle tried to discover what happened to their son but they couldn’t get any information.

The radio announced that there were thousands of casualties. Samuel then grabbed his coat and headed for the schoolyard.

#ItsABlessingToBeAGolfer

Got a lovely message and though a bit long, I found it surely worth a read and #TooGoodNotToShare

The gist of golf in one message and I am certain all #Golfers will love it !!

Like faith, golf requires us to lose our "old nature."
We first must learn the proper grip. Nature tells us to grip the club tightly, in golf though, a tight grip keeps us from meeting the ball squarely and it sails off in a wayward direction. This teaches us to keep a grip, a gentle grip, on our thoughts and emotions.
In physics v learnt that the harder v swing the farther the ball will fly. This doesn't work in golf.Using our strength to muscle the ball will usually only advance it a short distance. As in golf, our approach to life's problems requires a light touch & a well articulated swing

This was a beautiful post by Dr. Pachipala on FB and is #TooGoodNotToShare

IQ vs EQ vs SQ vs AQ

"According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)
#IntelligenceQuotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons.
#EmotionalQuotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.
