A deaf frog

 


A frog decided to reach the top of the tree. All the frogs shouted, it's impossible , it's impossible.

Still the frog reaches the top.

How?

He was deaf.

And he thought everyone was encouraging him to reach the top.

 

Moral:

Be deaf to negative thoughts, if your aim is to reach your goals.





The Smart School Dean

 

One night four college kids stayed out late, partying and having a good time. They paid no mind to the test they had scheduled for the next day and didn’t study. In the morning, they hatched a plan to get out of taking their test. They covered themselves with grease and dirt and went to the Dean’s office. Once there, they said they had been to a wedding the previous night and on the way back they got a flat tire and had to push the car back to campus.

The Dean listened to their tale of woe and thought. He offered them a retest three days later. They thanked him and accepted his offer that time.

When the test day arrived, they went to the Dean. The Dean put them all in separate rooms for the test. They were fine with this since they had all studied hard. Then they saw the test. It had 2 questions.

1) Your Name __________ (1 Points)

2) Which tire burst? __________ (99 Points)
Options – (a) Front Left (b) Front Right (c) Back Left (d) Back Right

The lesson: always be responsible and make wise decisions.





A Pound of Butter (Honesty)

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting the right amount, which he wasn’t. Angry about this, he took the farmer to court.




The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure to weigh the butter. The farmer replied, “Honour, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale.”



The judge asked, “Then how do you weigh the butter?”
The farmer replied;
“Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.”


Moral of the story: 
In life, you get what you give. Don’t try and cheat others. In addition to this, we could say that many times we judge others without seeing ourselves.

The pianist and the little boy

 

There is a story told of the great Polish pianist Ignace Paderewski. It perfectly highlights the power of teamwork and our dependence on each other.

A mother, who wanted to encourage her young son to continue playing the piano, bought tickets and took her son to a performance of the great pianist Ignace Paderewski.

They took their seats near the front of the concert hall the evening of the performance and eyed the majestic Steinway waiting on stage for the great pianist to begin.

Soon the mother found an old friend to talk to and didn’t notice that her boy had slipped away.

On the hour the lights in the hall began to dim and the spotlights came on. It was at that moment the little boy’s mother noticed him up on piano bench hammering out “Chopsticks.”

She was shocked and embarrassed, but it was too late to hurry up and get him as the Master of the night appeared on the stage and quickly moved to the keyboard where her little boy was focused in on his own masterpiece.

Paderewski gently whispered to the boy, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.” Leaning over, he reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around the boy and improvised a delightful enhanced melody.

Together, the old master and the young beginning pianist mesmerized the audience with their blended and beautiful music.

Teams kind of work this way don’t they?

The novice to the expert on great teams work together to accomplish extraordinary things. There is little of what we do on teams that doesn’t require some type of help from someone. We can’t succeed without the help of others. Whether that is depending on someone to complete something for you, asking for a hand on something, asking a question, or simply working together – we need each other on teams!


 


The Wise Old Man and the Boy

 

High in the Himalayan mountains lived a wise old man.

Periodically, he ventured down into the local village to entertain the villagers with his special knowledge and talents. One of his skills was to “psychically” tell the villagers the contents in their pockets, boxes, or minds.

A few young boys from the village decided to play a joke on the wise old man and discredit his special abilities.

One boy came up with the idea to capture a bird and hide it in his hands. He knew of course, the wise old man would know the object in his hands was a bird.

The boy devised a plan.

Knowing the wise old man would correctly state the object in his hands was a bird, the boy would ask the old man if the bird was dead or alive. If the wise man said the bird was alive, the boy would crush the bird in his hands, so that when he opened his hands the bird would be dead; if the wise man said the bird was dead, the boy would open his hands and let the bird fly free. So no matter what the old man said, the boy would prove the old man a fraud.

The following week, the wise old man came down from the mountain into the village. The boy quickly caught a bird and cupping it out of sight in his hands, walked up to the wise old man and asked, ” Old man, old man, what is it that I have in my hands?”

The wise old man said, “You have a bird.” and he was right.

The boy then asked, “Old man, old man tell me, is the bird alive or is it dead?”

The wise old man looked at the boy and said, “The bird is as you choose it.”

And so it is in everything we do. The power, your direction and your destiny are literally in your hands and the hands of those you lead and/or serve with. Which path are you going to take? It’s up to you, it’s always up to you.

 

Moral:

Teamwork is a choice that every member of the team makes, including the leader.

Solomon Makes a Difficult Decision

 

One day, the wise King Solomon was approached by two women arguing over a baby. Each claimed the child was hers. Unable to judge, King Solomon thought up a plan - he offered to cut the baby in half, giving half to the one and half to the other.

The first women agreed with the King: "Let the baby be neither mine nor hers, but divide it. If I can't have the child", she cried, "she can't have it either".

The second women pleaded with Solomon not to hurt the child.
"Give her the baby. I'd rather lose the child that see it slain".

Solomon knew immediately that this was the rightful mother. He returned the baby to her.

As we can see God gave Solomon enough wisdom to deal with this tough decision. The bible has lots of advice and it can help you anytime. Be wise, read it and don't let religion confuse you but love God and respect him. He loves you that is why he gave us his commandments.

This happened before:

That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king,12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.” It is in 

2 Chronicles in the Bible. Now I'd like you take some time to answer this question:

The wise man at River Ganges

 

A wise man who was visiting River Ganges to take a bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled and asked. ‘Why do people shout in anger at each other?’

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, ‘Because we lose our calm, we shout.’ ‘But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.’ asked the man.

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.

Finally he explained, "When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other."

"The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance."

"What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either non-existent or very small…" The wise man continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper ‘n they get even closer to each other in their love."

Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.’

He looked at his disciples ‘and said. ‘So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.’

 




 

The boy and the hammer

 Do you know someone who has a bad temper? Perhaps you have a bad temper that you wish you didn't have. Can you imagine the damage such a temper can do to you and others? 

There once was a little boy who had a very bad temper. One day, bothered by his fits of temper, his father decided to hand him a bag of nails and said that every time the boy lost his temper, he had to hammer a nail into the back fence.
On the first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into that fence.
The boy gradually began to control his temper over the next few weeks, and the number of nails he was hammering into the fence slowly dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to control his temper than to hammer those nails into the fence.
Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He proudly told his father the news and his accomplishment so the father suggested that the boy should now pull out a nail every day he kept his temper under control.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

“You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. Son, a verbal wound is as bad as a physica
l one or maybe worse

Moral of the story: 
Wasn’t that a beautiful story with a valuable lesson? Isn’t it a reminder most us need from time to time?
Everyone gets angry sometime or the other and some of us even have a bad temper, and that’s alright. But remember, once the scars are formed, they take a long time to heal.
Control your anger, and don’t say things to people in the heat of the moment, that you may later regret. Some things in life, you are unable to take back.

The two friends and the Bear

 Vijay and Raju were friends. One day while on holiday, exploring a forest they knew that anything dangerous can happen to them at any time in there. So they promised each other that they would remain united in any case of danger. 

Suddenly, they saw a large bear approaching them.
Naturally, they were both frightened, so Raju, who knew how to climb trees, climbed one quickly. He didn’t spare a thought for his friend who had no idea how to climb.

Vijay thought for a moment. He had heard that animals don’t attack dead bodies, so he fell to the ground and held his breath. The bear sniffed him, it smelt in his ears, thought he was dead, and went on its way slowly because the bears do not touch the dead creatures.

Moral Stories



Raju, after he had climbed down from the tree asked Vijay, “What did the bear whisper in your ears?”
Vijay replied, “The bear advised me not to believe a false friend and to keep away from you.”

Moral of the story: A friend in need is a friend indeed. A true Friend is the one who always supports and stands by you in any situation.

The Wooden Bowl

 


A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.  But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.”  So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!  When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?”  Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his day, he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
Moral: You reap what you sow. Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. Always Respect, Care for and Love them. 




Socrates- What is it like to live here

 One afternoon, Socrates was standing outside the gates of Athens when he noticed a traveller who had been staring at him for a long time.

Socrates asked the man why he had come to Athens.
“I am thinking of moving to Athens”, the man said.
“What is it like to live here?” He added.

Socrates looked at him.
“First, would you tell me what it
was like in your home city?”
The man replied: “Oh, it was
awful. Everyone stabs you in the
back and wants to steal money
from you”

Frowning, Socrates told him:
“Well, you will find the same thing here. I suggest you go
somewhere else”


Socrates was standing there a few hours more when another man approached him. This man too had just arrived in Athens and was considering moving to the city. He also asked Socrates, “Can you tell me what it is like to live here?”
Socrates asked, “First, would you tell me what it was like to live there where you come from?”
“Where I come from, all the people work together and help each other”, said the man,
“Kindness is everywhere and you are never treated with anything but complete respect.” He added.




“Well”, replied Socrates, “You will find the same thing here. Welcome to Athens”.




As we can see Socrates had two different answers, even when he was talking about the same city The question is why? Comment on the points you consider important and share it.




The shark and the bait fish

Have you ever wondered what is stopping you from doing something that you truly want or getting something that you have always wanted to have? What is holding you back from making a move and starting to make your way to your goals? How many excuses do you still have to tell yourself just so you could feel better about not taking that big leap?


During a research experiment a marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank.
As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish.
The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of bait fish on the other.
Again, the shark quickly attacked. This time, however, the shark slammed into the fiberglass divider and bounced off.  Undeterred, the shark kept repeating this behavior every few minutes to no avail.  Meanwhile, the bait fish swam around unharmed in the second partition. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up.
This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks.  Each time, the shark got less aggressive and made fewer attempts to attack the bait fish, until eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether.
The marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn’t attack.  The shark was trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the bait fish, so the bait fish swam wherever they wished, free from harm.
The moral:  Many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying. Like the shark in the story, we believe that because we were unsuccessful in the past, we will always be unsuccessful. In other words, we continue to see a barrier in our heads, even when no ‘real’ barrier exists between where we are and where we want to go. 

In a nutshell, after we experience obstacles, setbacks and failures, we tend to feel discouraged, dejected and disillusioned. We also tend to internalize and personalise our failures. That is to say, rather than thinking that we failed at something, we tend to think that we are the failures. In other words, rather than being events in our life, our failures become our identities. We let these failures  emotionally wreck us when the only key is to just keep on brushing off the dirt and getting back up from the ground.

The Gazelle and The Lion

 No matter the economy of the jungle, the lion will never eat grass. -


Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.
You better gear up and keep fighting, you are a lion. Stay hungry and keep grinding. #donvicinspiration #DonVicmotivation #DonVic





Steve Jobs and the Widow's Rocks

Steve Jobs narrated a story of a widowed man he had gotten to know in his eighties who lived up the street from him when he was a young boy.

One day the older man said to him, “come on into my garage, I want to show you something.” He pulled out a dusty and old rock tumbler that consisted of a motor and a coffee can with a little band between them, Jobs recollected.

He then invited him to the backyard where they collected some very regular and old ugly rocks. They put them in a can with a little bit of liquid and some grit powder. The old man then closed the can, turned the motor on and said, “come back tomorrow.”

Jobs remembered the can making a big racket as the stones went around in the can.

He came back the next day and when they opened the can and took out the rocks they were amazingly beautiful and polished. He states, “The same common stones that had gone in, through rubbing against each other like this (clapping his hands), creating a little bit of friction, creating a little bit of noise, had come out these beautiful polished rocks.” Teams, he states, are like these stones.

Individually we can be fairly normal, ordinary and even a bit rough. But through the process of teamwork we can end up in a very different state.

Jobs states that teams consisting of incredibly talented people who are passionate and are working hard towards something often times bump up against each other, argue, sometimes fight and make some noise. By working together they polish one another and their ideas and in the process create beautiful stones.

Have you built up enough trust on your teams to allow bumping up against one another and passionately arguing on occasion?

Passive, “follow the leader” types of teams are destined to fail. Each member of a team brings something unique. They are unique in their gifts, ideas and arguments. Team members must feel like they can express themselves without embarrassment or retribution.

Leaders who embrace the process of “tumbling stones” on their teams create more efficiency, better ideas, better problem solving and ultimately better teamwork.

The lion and the buffalo

 One day, a lion was watching a herd of buffalo feeding in an open field. He had attempted to attack in the past but he was no match for the strong buffalo with their sharp horns and hoofs.

The lion had lost hope, however he couldn’t keep away.

Hunger kept him from coming back.

One afternoon, the buffalo had an ugly fight.

This time when the lion came to watch them, he found them in separate corners of the field.

It was now easier than ever to attack the buffalo one at a time, which the lion did to his great delight.

 

Moral:

Regardless of our differences, we must strive together shoulder to shoulder to work together. There is strength in unity.

United we stand, divided we fall.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts – African proverb.






The pig and the chicken

 One sunny day a pig and a chicken were walking down a long road into town. As they were passing one of the local restaurants, the chicken turned to the pig and said, “I have an idea. How about we open up a restaurant?” The pig agreed that was a great idea!

“What will we serve at our restaurant?” the pig asked. “Ham and eggs of course!” said the chicken.

“Whoa, not so fast Mr. Chicken,” said the pig. “While you’re simply making a contribution, I’m making a real commitment!”

 

Moral:

This highlights something significantly wrong on many teams –the issue of commitment. Commitment is not simply a contribution or two, but instead a deep dedicated loyalty to the team and its vision and goals.








Teamwork: Tale of 2 donkeys

Once upon a time there were two donkey’s who had never met but they were tied together. On both side were two nice yummy flowers. They both wanted to eat off the bushes by the flowers but the rope wasn’t long enough.

They both really wanted to eat but they just couldn’t reach so they just pulled and pulled hoping that the rope would stretch but it wouldn’t. They pulled and pulled but still in the same place and they tried again and again.

They pulled and pulled until they gave in.

The donkeys just gave up and fell in a big heep.

They tried to break free but it didn’t work.

Because they couldn’t reach either ends of the flowers, the donkey just sat and introduced each other properly and tried to think of a way to get to the food and eat.

Then one suddenly clicked and said “now that were friends why don’t we just stand next to each other and take turns”, so they did.

Then they both decided to eat the same bush together, and once they finished that, they would eat the second on .

They decided they’d eaten all they could from the other bush so they moved to the next and carried on all day. Both donkeys were happy they worked together to eat.

Moral:
Team work. Yes we can together.

Even the bible says 'can two walk together unless they agree...?'

Compromise when two people are pulling in opposite directions. Much more will then be accomplished and both will be winners. It will be a win-win for both parties and not a lose-lose.


The man, the wife, the donkey and the Critics

A man and her wife were once going with their donkey to market. As they were walking along by his side a countryman passed them and said, "You fools, what is a donkey for but to ride upon?" So the man and her wife ride on the donkey, and they went on their way.

But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey of yours -- you and your wife?"

So the man ordered her wife to get a ride,
But they hadn't gone far when they passed two men, one of whom said to the other, “ stupid man he should ride because he is the boss, not her wife”

So he ordered her wife to go down and he got a ride.
But they hadn't gone far when they passed two men, one of whom said to the other, “ what a selfish man! he should be kind to his wife”

So the man and her wife got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, until at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them until they came to a bridge, when the donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the wife to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle, the donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together, he was drowned.

Moral:

1.      You cannot please everybody. Whatever you do, there will be people who will criticize you, so just do what you believe is right, and don't be distracted by criticisms.

2.     The great lesson of life is to be true to ourselves and not trying to please everyone else’s idea of what and who we should be.

3.     We must always start with who we are if our goal is greatness. Once we have the courage to be real we can’t be ugly either.

4.       It is finding the courage to risk being an authentic person that is the challenge. We are afraid to let go of our protective devices for fear of rejection and loss when just the opposite is the truth.



The man, the wife, the donkey and the society

 An old man, his wife and a donkey were going to town. His wife rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along, they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and his wife was riding. The man and his wife thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, he makes his wife walk." So they then decided they'd both walk!
Soon they passed some more people who thought they were fools to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. 
Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey.
The woman and her husband figured they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story: 
If you try to please everyone, you might as well... Kiss your “donkey" goodbye! And even this ending won’t please everyone.
