Smell the Coffee


Hi all,I read this little story somewhere and found it worth sharing......so here it goes...
A group of young professionals thought of giving a pleasant visit to their former teacher.After greetings n all...were exchanged and general conversation was going on,the teacher observed that all of them...at some point or the other,complained of a stressful life.
He went up to his kitchen and made them coffee.He poured it in cups-some stylish expensive ones and some ordinary.As expected,most of them readily picked up the expensive ones,as everyone wants the best for him.
The teacher remarked-That's the problem,my friends.Your life is coffee,poured in cups of money,jobs and societal position.You should be concerned with coffee.But you are envying your cups which are just tools to hold it. So smell the coffee...take in its aroma...as Content Matters.Not the Container!

The Two Wolves

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life.He said to them-"A fight is going on inside me,its a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One represents anger, regret, greed, inferiority, lies, arrogance, superiority.The other wolf stands for love, peace, hope, kindness, truth, compassion, faith.The same fight is going on inside you and every other person too. "
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather-"Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied-"The one i feed"
