ATTITUDE AFFIRMS SUCCESS
A man attending a business convention in Las Vegas decided to spend the evening "observing" the events of the casino floor. Tempted by the opportunity to make it big, he placed a two-dollar bet at the roulette table. His number won. He continued betting and winning. Within a short time, he had accumulated $50,000.00 in winnings.
Elated with his good fortune, he made his way to the cashier. Before reaching the window, he felt the urge to bet one more time. He went back to the roulette table and wagered his entire winnings on 14 red. The wheel spurn around and round and finally stopped on 12 black. His entire winnings were lost. The fellow turned from the table and made his way back to the hotel room.
"Well," his wife asked, "did you bet any money?"
"Sure did."
"How did you do?"
"Not bad," he responded. "I lost two dollars."

THE WISE WAY - Parodoxical Commandments

  • People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
  • If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
  • If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
  • If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
  • What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
  • If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
  • The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
  • Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
  • You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
