His Dad replied:

"Just like how your generation lives today with -

No prayers

No compassion

No honor

No reading"

"We, the people that were born between 1940-1985 are the blessed ones. Our life is a living proof:

👉 While playing and riding bicycles, we never wore helmets.

👉 After school, we played until dusk. We never watched TV.

👉 We played with real friends, not internet friends.

👉 If we ever felt thirsty, we drank tap water not bottled water.

👉 We never got ill although we used to share the same glass of juice with four friends.

👉 We never gained weight although we used to eat a lot of rice everyday.

👉 Nothing happened to our feet despite roaming bare-feet.

👉 our mother and father never used any supplements to keep us healthy.

👉 We used to create our own toys and play with them.

👉 Our parents were not rich. They gave us love, not worldly materials.

👉 We never had cellphones, DVDs, play station, XBox, video games, personal computers, internet chat - but we had real friends.

👉 We visited our friends' homes uninvited and enjoyed food with them.

👉 unlike your world, we had relatives who lived close by so family time and ties were enjoyed together.

👉 We may have been in black and white photos but you will find colourful memories in those photos.

👉 We are a unique and, the most understanding generation, because *we are the last generation who listened to their parents*.

*Also , the first who have had to listen to their children.*

and we are the ones who are still smarter and helping you now to use the technology that never existed while we were your age!!!

We are a *LIMITED* edition!

So you better -

Enjoy us.

Learn from us.

Treasure us.

Before we disappear from Earth and your lives."

Right attitude is a great power (story):

😒A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out. 😒Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. 👍Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously". 👍After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help you". 👍👍👍He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, 👍"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today... and you can pay me back at that time". 👍Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. 👌👌👌The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world. 👍"I can erase my worries instantly...

Beyond Fear: How a Single Attitude Change Unlocks Growth:

🌟 Open the Door to Opportunity: The Power of a Positive Mindset We often encounter situations that highlight the stark difference between a closed, fearful mindset and an open, positive attitude. The choices we make daily—even small ones—are often dictated by whether we focus on the potential loss or the potential gain. A perfect illustration of this took place in a restaurant. I noticed the owner kept the large front door closed, essentially hiding a valuable marketing display and limiting the shop's visibility. When I asked him why, his reason was simple and fear-driven: "What if people will eat and go without paying?" His focus was entirely on preventing a minor potential fraud cost . The Opportunity Cost of Fear I challenged him to compare that small potential loss (the fraud cost) with the much larger benefit he was sacrificing: the marketing opportunity cost . By keeping the door closed, he was missing out on: ...

Leaders Get Results:

Secret 5: Leaders Get Results from The 7 Secrets of Exceptional Leadership by Brian Tracy Results are everything–in life, in business and in leadership. Leaders are those who have developed the ability to achieve the most important results expected of them in their positions. The first question of the leader is always, "What results are expected of me?" The second question leaders ask is, "Of all the results that I can achieve, what are the most important results for my business?" There will always be too much to do and too little time, especially for leaders in their positions of responsibility. All of life, therefore, consists of making choices and decisions between what is more important and what is less important, between what you care about the most and what you care about less. The quality of your life today is a measure of the quality of your choices and decisions up to this point. To improve the quality of your life in the future, you must make bett...

let things happen to you:

- 'No one ever gives you credit for doing what’s slow and hard and invisible. Sweating out that book chapter, doing that colleague a favor, writing that newsletter'. 'But we can’t just optimize for the short-term and assume that will automatically translate into long-term success. We have to be willing to do hard, laborious, ungratifying things today — the kind of things that make little sense in the short term — so we can enjoy exponential results in the future'. We have to be willing to be patient. 'Not patient in a passive, “let things happen to you” way, but actively and vigorously patient: willing to deny yourself the easy path so you can do what’s meaningful'. The results won’t be visible tomorrow, when the difference may be imperceptible. 'But it will be in five or ten or 30 years, when you’ve created the future you’ve always wanted. Big goals often seem — and frankly, are — impossible in the short term. But with small, methodical steps, almost anyth...
