The Japanese have always loved fresh fish
But the water close to Japan, because of overexploitation has not held much fish for decades now.
So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther & farther than ever.
The further the fishermen went, the longer it took them to bring the fish back to their lands
If the return trip took more time, the fish were not fresh.
To solve this problem, fish companies installed freezers on their boats.
They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea.
Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.
However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish and they did not like the taste of frozen fish
The frozen fish brought a lower price.
So, fishing companies installed fish tanks.
They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin.which gave fish no space to play
After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste.The fishing industry faced an impending crisis!
NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF ALL INNOVATIONS:-
But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan.
How did they manage...?
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks but with a small shark amongst them ๐๐
The fish are scared and challenged and hence are constantly on the move.
The challenge they face in their lives keeps them alive and fresh!
Have you realized that some of us are also living similarly in a pond but most of the time feel tired and dull....? in the absence of a challenge?
Basically, in our lives, sharks in this story depicted๐๐ are new challenges which can keep us active.
If you are steadily conquering
challenges, you are happy.
Your challenges keep you energized.
Don’t create Success and revel in it in a state of inertia.
You have the resources, skills and abilities to make a difference.
Put a shark ๐๐ in your "mind "tank and see how far you can go.*
Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand
held in your hand. Held loosely,
with an open hand, the sand remains
where it is. The minute you close,
your hand and squeeze tightly to hold
on, the sand trickles through your fingers.
You may hold onto it, but
most will be spilt. A relationship is like that.
Held loosely, with respect and freedom for,
the other person, it is likely to remain intact.
But hold too tightly, too possessively,
and the relationship
slips away and is lost.!!
When difficult situations and conditions confront you, the chief aim "must" be to remain calm. If you can remain calm, amidst the storms of problems, worries, fears and daily test to your fortitude, you "will overcome," or "come up over" any condition. Conditions are merely problems that require solving. And, problems are successes that ave not been solved. ...
Critics will criticize. Haters will hate.
Just stay true to yourself and be,
strong enough to do what you want..
If you can stand unshaken when
others attack you, (in any way) and
"not" retaliate, but remain calm,
"you will be a master of self."
This is not easy, but it can be accomplished with an
"indomitable will" to succeed.
This is not an injunction to be a
"doormat!" Quite the opposite!
You will realize a power
that you've never dreamt of within.
Habits are "automatic mental machines." Habits will embarrass you if they are bad, and will come to your aid when they are good. Habits are like the "parrot" that are trained to say "disgusting things." When you are in the presence of those you honour and respect, "they will blurt out the vilest things!" How embarrassing is that? That is exactly what "good or bad" habits do, they show up unexpectedly, and when you are off guard...... Practice good habits and be vigilant in the fight to route the bad ones and to strengthen the good ones........ Remember that, "habits are automatic mental machines."..

A good heart and a good nature are two different issues, A good heart can win many relationships, But a good nature can win many good hearts.
The world's happiest friends and happily married couples may never have the same nature..but of course, they just have the best "UNDERSTANDING" of their "DIFFERENCES"
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. Lady Dorothy Nevill
One rainy day, it is raining heavily with high thunderous sparks in the sky
Mother went to pick up her 6-year-old son from school thinking that he will fear the lightning...
On the way she found him smiling at the sky for every lightning. sparks She asked.. strangely,
Why are you smiling???
BOY- Mom you never told me that someone during rains takes our pictures from the sky "GOD is taking my picture & I need to look good.. by posing smilingly "

LIFE IS SIMPLE.

Our SOUL or THE consciousness like Water has no shape, its nature is to flow freely. If you put it into a vase it will take the shape of the vase. In this cup, it has assumed the shape of the cup. If poured into my cupped hands it will take the shape of the hands. But water has no shape. It is the same with the consciousness, which is subtler than water. It similarly has no form, but it assumes the form of whatever concept it is poured into or identifies with, but it will never be the form. It remains ever its formless nature.!!
IN stead of carrying the burden of
EGOISM AND Hollow attitude?
On your mind.
DEVELOP an Attitude of Gratitude.
and Give Thanks for Everything.

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry.. The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many sweet memories..
He often came with me and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look for something special. I knew what he was up to. I'd always spot him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands.
He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since he had passed on.
Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two.
Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and remembered how he had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blonde, slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in her basket... Hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and once again reached for the pack of steaks.
She saw me watching her and she smiled. 'My husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don't know.'
I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.
'My husband passed away eight days ago,' I told her. Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. 'Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.'
She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away
I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A Quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone.
I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms, she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile I had ever seen! I would swear a soft halo encircled her blonde hair as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding mine.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes.. 'These are for you,' she said and placed three beautiful long-stemmed yellow roses in my arms. 'When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for.' She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision
I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone.
Oh, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with tears in my eyes.. He was still with me, and she was his angel.
Every day is thankful for what you have and who you are.
(Please read all of this, it is really nice)
This is a simple request. If you appreciate life, send this to your friends, including the person that sent it to you.
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud.
Thank you, Lord, for my family.. There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced..
Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest.
Thank you, Lord, for life.
