Avoid The Rat Race.....

*A boat docked in a tiny Goan village. A tourist from Mumbai (Mumbaite)
complimented the Goan fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how
long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long," answered the fisherman.

"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked theMumbaite.

The Goan fisherman explained that his small catch was Sufficient to meet
his needs and those of his family.

The Mumbaite asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta
with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends,
play guitar, sing a few songs... I have a full life."

The Mumbaite interrupted, "I have an MBA from IIM-A, and I can help you!
You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the
extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?" asked the Goan.

"With the extra money The larger boat will bring, you can buy a second
one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of
trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then
negotiate directly with the processing plants
and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little
village and move to Panjim, or even Mumbai. From there you can direct
your huge new enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked the Goan.

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the Mumbaite.
"And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my Friend, That's when it gets really interesting,"
chuckled the Mumbaite, "When your business gets really big, you can
start selling stocks and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Goan.

**_"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the
coast, Sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a
siesta with your wife and spend your evenings doing what you like with
your buddies."

_**"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what I am doing now. So
what's the point wasting 25 Years?" asked the Goan.* *

And the moral ofthe story is?
 Know where you're going in life. You may already be there.

**Life in the present world is indeed a rat race. Many who have good
qualifications too do not know where they are going in life.*

Life's not a Race....You better slow down to enjoy it!!!!!!!!

 DANCE  SLOWLY
Have you ever watched kids
 on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed
a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun
 into the fading night?


You better slow down..
Don't dance so fast.
Life is short.
The music won't last.


Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?


You better slow down..
Don't dance so fast.
Life is short.
The music won't last


Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'

You better slow down..
Don't dance so fast.
Life is short.
The music won't last


When you run
so fast to get somewhere
You miss half
the fun of getting there.


When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Wake up before its too late....

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five
balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health,
friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the
air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls - family, health, friends and
spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they
will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even
shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand
that and strive for Balance in your life."

Wisdom lies in not what you can look at, but in what u can overlook.
