Don't make a noise

 Three scholars on the way to a civil service
   examination stopped to buy refreshments from
   a woman who sold pastries. 

   One scholar was calm and quiet while the
   other two argued over literature.

   The woman asked where they were going, and
   the arguing men told her.

   "You two won't pass the exam," she said, "but
   the other man will."

   The results turned out just as the woman
   predicted, and the two who failed went back
   to find the woman to ask her if she knew some
   mystic art to predict the outcome.

   "No," she said, "all I know is that when a
   pastry is thoroughly cooked it sits there
   quietly, but before it's finished it keeps
   making noise."

Our world is so full of noise it's a wonder any of us stay
sane past the age of maybe fifteen. 

During the coming week, become aware of the endless noise
that surrounds modern life... and then consciously tune it
out by taking deep breaths and shifting your consciousness
inward.

Horse and a donkey

Once upon a time there were two cart-horses. They worked together for many years, pulling the cart of a peasant. Over the years, they often argued with each other, complaining that the other was not keeping to its side, or was going just a little too quickly or just a little too slow. 

One day, one of the two horses suddenly died. 

The remaining horse was very upset about this. 

It realized that in all the time that they had worked together, it had not once told the other horse how much it valued its company and its faithful help in pulling the cart. Now the chance was gone forever. 

The horse also reflected on all the squabbles they had had. It suddenly understood that it need not have taken offence as easily as it had done, that it need not have borne as many grudges, that it could have been less arrogant, in short, it realized that it had wasted all the energy that had been available for friendship and kindness on unworthy and unnecessary thoughts and emotions. 

The horse was ashamed and resolved to lead a different life in future. Whoever its new partner was going to be, things were going to be different. 

But time passed, and the horse forgot. One day, it caught itself in exactly the same kind of behavior that it had sworn never to engage in again. 

The horse could not understand why it had returned to its old ways. 

That evening, in the stable, the horse decided to seek out the peasant's donkey, which had a reputation for wisdom among the animals. 

The donkey listened to the horse's story. Eventually, it replied. "It is good that you have noticed what has happened. If you truly want to change, this is possible; but it will, for a long time, cost you your peace of mind. Are you prepared to accept this?" 

The horse replied that it definitely did not want to return to its old ways. Anything was better than that. 

So the donkey continued, "There is one very simple, and at the same time very hard thing that you have to do. Remember every day that one day, perhaps today, perhaps many years from now, you will die. 

Remember every day that the horse next to you will die. 

Remember every day that every other creature you will see, will one day die. 

Remember that all animals alive today are part of a wave, which will soon break and be lost on the beach forever, to be followed by a new wave, and another, and another. 

No wave is permanent. The only thing that is permanent is the ocean." 

There were tears in the horse's eyes. 

The donkey continued, "Only if you remember death will you become strong-willed and alert enough not to postpone love. This is my advice to you, and in following it, perhaps one day you may come to know that which is deathless."

Human Mind Power

There was a man who worked for the railroad. One day as he went into the freezer compartment to do his routine work, the door accidentally closed and he found himself trapped in the compartment.

He shouted for help but no one heard him since it was past midnight. He tried to break down the door but he could not. As he lay in the freezer compartment, he began to feel colder, and colder. Then he began to feel weaker, and weaker, and he wrote on the wall of the compartment, "I am feeling colder, and colder; and I am getting weaker, and weaker. I am dying, and this may be my last words".

In the morning when the other workers opened up the compartment they found him dead. The sad twist to the above story is that the freezing apparatus in the compartment had broke down a few days earlier.

The poor worker did not know about the damaged freezing apparatus and in his mind the freezing apparatus was working perfectly. He felt cold, got weaker and literally willed himself to die.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

Our sub-conscious mind can be cheated. The sub-conscious mind can only accept and act on information passed to it by the conscious mind. It has no capacity to reject or decline or authenticate any instructions or information passed to it by the conscious mind. In the case of the poor worker, he consciously thought that he was getting colder, weaker and dying and the sub-conscious mind accepted the above instructions and affected his physical body. That was how he willed himself to die.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."

Love, wealth and success

 
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."  
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in"

"We do not go into a House together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked. 
 
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!" 
 
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" 
 
Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!" 
 
"Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." 
 
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, t he lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !"

The secret of Red Shirt and Brown pants

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were 
in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, 
the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!" The First 
Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on 
and led the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some 
casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.

Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels 
sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain,
calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" And once again the battle 
was on, however, the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, 
although this time more casualties occurred.

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting 
the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, 
why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?"

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, 
exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound 
and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men sat in silence 
marveling at the courage of such a man.

As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate 
ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became 
silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command. The 
Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants".
