ca/ks gq, gkFkh एक आदमी कहीं से गुजर रहा था, तभी उसने सड़क के ककनारे बंधे हाथथयों को देखा तो रुक गया। उसने देखा कक हाथथयों के अगले पैर में एक रस्सी बंधी हुई है। उसे इस बात पर आश्चयय हुआ कक हाथी जैसे थिशालकाय जीि लोहे की जंजीरों की जगह बस एक छोटी सी रस्सी से बंधे हुए हैं। िे चाहते तो अपने बंधन तोड़ कर कहीं भी जा सकते थे, पर िे ऐसा नहीं कर रहे थे। उसने पास खड़े महाित से पूछा - भला ये हाथी ककस प्रकार इतनी शांथत से खड़े हैं और भागने का प्रयास भी नहीं कर रहे हैं। महाित ने कहा इन हाथथयों को छोटी उम्र से ही इन रथस्सयों से बांधा जाता है। उस समय इनके पास इतनी शथि नहीं होती कक इस बंधन को तोड़ सकें , बार-बार प्रयास करने पर भी रस्सी न तोड़ पाने के कारण उन्हें धीरे -धीरे यकीन होता जाता है कक िे इन रथस्सयों को नहीं तोड़ सकते और बड़े होने पर भी उनका यह यकीन बना रहता है इसथलए िे कभी इसे तोड़ने का प्रयास ही नहीं करते। उस आदमी को यह बात बड़ी रोचक लगी। उसने इसके बारे में एक संत से चचाय की। संत ने मुस्कराकर कहा - ये जानिर इसथलए अपना बंधन नहीं तोड़ सकते क्योंकक िे इस बात में यकीन करते हैं। इन हाथथयों की तरह हममें से कई लोग अपनी ककसी असफलता के कारण मान बैठते हैं कक अब उनसे ये काम हो ही नहीं सकता। िे अपनी बनाई हुई मानथसक जंजीरों में पूरा जीिन गुजार देते हैं। लेककन मनुष्य को कभी प्रयास छोड़ना नहीं चाथहए। *****

One day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “It was great, Dad.” “Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked. “Oh yeah,” said the son. “So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father. The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.” The boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are.”

Sometimes our biggest weakness can become our biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study Judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese Judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move. “Sensei,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know.” – the sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. “No,” the sensei insisted, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion. On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?” “You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grap your left arm.” The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

As a man passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied on their front leg, No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” the trainer said “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at the age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were. Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we can’t do something, simply because we failed at it once before? Failure is a part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.” “Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff.” “If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

If you ask most people what is their one major objective in life, they would probably give you a vague answer, such as, "I want to be successful, be happy, make a good living," and that is it. They are all wishes and none of them are clear goals. Goals must be SMART: 1. S--specific. For example, "I want to lose weight." This is wishful thinking. It becomes a goal when I pin myself down to "I will lose 10 pounds in 90 days." 2. M--must be measurable. If we cannot measure it, we cannot accomplish it. Measurement is a way of monitoring our progress. 3. A--must be achievable. Achievable means that it should be out of reach enough to be challenging but it should not be out of sight, otherwise it becomes disheartening. 4. R--realistic. A person who wants to lose 50 pounds in~30 days is being unrealistic. 5. T--time-bound. There should be a starting date and a finishing date.

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize. Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back and do the same. What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? Will you be spoken well of? Will you be remembered with love and respect? Will you be missed?

On the best sunny day, the most powerful magnifying glass will not light paper of you keep moving the glass? But if you focus and hold it, the paper will light up. That is the power of concentration. A man was travelling and stopped at an intersection. He asked an elderly man, “Where does this road take me?” The elderly person asked, “Where do you want to go?” The man replied, “I don’t know.” The elderly person said, “Then takes any road. What difference does it take? How true! When we don’t know where we are going, any road will take us there. Suppose you have all the football eleven players, enthusiastically ready to play the game, all charged up and then someone took the goal post away, what would happen to the game? There is nothing left. How do you keep score? How do you know you have arrived? Enthusiasm without direction is like wildfire and leads to frustration. Goals give a sense of direction. Would you sit in a train or a plane without knowing where it was going? The obvious answer is “no”. Then why do people go through life without having any goals?

These are the steps I recommend following if you think a network marketing business is for you. 1. Decide to make changes in your life. 2. Set a goal to stick with the business for 5 years, 2 years, 1 year or 6 months. My rich dadsaid, “The difference between a winner and a loser is defined by the finish line. A winner does not care if they cross the finish line in first or last place. All they care about is crossing the line. A loser quits before winning. A loser runs 95 yards of a 100 yard race everyday of their life.” 3. Stick to the goal. Unsuccessful people change their minds once they have made up their minds. If you have decided to stay with it for let’s say a year, then for that year attend every event your sponsor recommends. 4. Define the goal. Do you want to: Just earn a few more dollars a month? Replace your job’s income? Become rich, which is $1 million dollars income a year? Become ultra-rich, which is at least $1 million dollars income a month? 5. Study like your life depended on it… because it does. 6. Dream big… and never lose sight of your dream. Even if you never achieve your dream, it is far better to have a big dream and go for the dream, than to dream small and achieve a small dream. As my rich dad said, “The difference between a successful person and a very successful person is the size of their dreams.” Who knows, maybe someday your dreams will come true… so they might as well be big ones!
