Opportunities !

Welcome to 51^st Monday Musings:

---

A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission.

The farmer looked at him and said, "Son, go stand out in that field. I'm going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter."

The young man stood in the field awaiting the first bull. The barn door opened  and out came the biggest, meanest looking bull he had ever seen.. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through.

The barn door opened again.

Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life. It stood pawing the ground, it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one he thought.

He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through.

The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull, he said to himself.

As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at just the exact moment. He threw his hands to grab..... But alas..... The bull had no tail.

Moral of the story :

Life is full of opportunities. Always grab the first one.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." ~  Thomas Edison

"Your regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do. So I take every opportunity." ~ Cameron Diaz

Never wait for an opportunity in life, always use the first , make it best …….and if you feel opportunity is not opening door, create one !

Make it a great Week !

Rules to Live by !

Welcome to 50^th Monday Musings:

Lesson #1

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit  noticed the crow, and asked, "Can I sit like you and do nothing all day long?"

The crow answered, "Sure, why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested, All of a sudden, a tiger appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it!

The moral of the story:

“To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up...”

Lesson #2

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,"sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree!

The moral of the story

”Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there...”

Lesson #3

A little bird was flying south for the winter.

It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.

While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was.

The dung was actually thawing him out. He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

The moral of the story:

1.    Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy
2.    Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3.    When you are in deep shit, keep your mouth shut

Many people worry so much about managing every other thing, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their LIVES. we should make our life best, not unrealistic things, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out.

Make it a great Week !
