MIND AND TONGUE

I actually feel that there are two things that a human strives hard to control.The first is Mind and then the Tongue.

The mind will never listen to what we say and how much ever one tries to control it ,back it goes like a spring.

The most difficult thing for a man is to control his mind.

But this mind has a unique character.What it needs to retain it forgets and what it needs to forget it remembers clearly

Okay now for the tongue.

The tongue cannot control words as well as cannot control taste.

The best thing is most of our problem is only with this tongue and mind.

When the mind is not clear the tongue uses its power and pour words like the Niagara falls.

When the tongue does not satisfy the taste buds the mind comes to the support of spoiling the mood.

Therefore most part of the day we are struck by these two great forces within us and strive for happiness from the outer world.

I therefore feel if these two forces are to be kept in harmony we can become more harmonius than ever.

One should have control over the mind and tongue ,to make a lively living.

How To Fill Your Empty Glass

A city boy, Raj, moved to the village and bought a donkey from an old farmer
for Rs.1000. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry Raj, My donkey died when i was bringing it here.
Raj replied: "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said:
"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Raj said: "OK then, just unload the donkey."

The farmer asked: "What you are going to do with him?"

Raj: "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Raj: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Raj and asked, "What happened with that
dead donkey?"

Raj: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at Rs. 10 each and made a profit
of Rs 4990 with the donkey worth Rs. 1000 as the prize.

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"

Raj: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his Rs.10

No situation is so bad that it cannot be turned around.
See the glass half full rather than seeing it half empty.
