Life has now been explained to you

On the first day God created the dog. 

God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten."****So God agreed.

__________On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks and make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"
And God agreed.

__________On the third day God created the cow. "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty."

And God agreed again.__________On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."Man said, "What? Only twenty years? Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"__________Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."

 

__________So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

The Power of Acceptance

When someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done and when we are not able to accept it, we become angry.

 

However, when someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done and we are able to accept it We remain tolerant.

 

When someone has something which we don't have, or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce  and we are not able to accept it we become jealous.

 

When someone has something which we don't have or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce and we are able to accept it we get inspired.

 

When Someone is present in our thoughts, but if not physically present and we are not able to accept it.

 

We say 'I am missing you'.

 

When someone is present in our thoughts, but not physically present and we are able to accept it

 

We say 'I am thinking of you'.

 

Then the emotional equation is quite simple.

 

Something + Acceptance = Positive Emotion

Something + Non Acceptance = Negative Emotion

 

So, it is not 'Something' or 'someone' that is making us feel positive or negative, but it is our 'acceptance' or 'non acceptance' of something or someone, which is making us feel positive or negative.

 

It isn't the world but the quality of our response to the world (acceptance or non acceptance) that determines the quality of our emotions.

 

Next time we feel disturbed with a negative emotion, instead of asking who or what is disturbing us, we will examine who or what we are resisting (not accepting) that is causing this disturbance in us.

We will replace resistance (non acceptance) with acceptance, and the negative emotion will turn into a positive one.

 

Emotional management begins when we stop blaming that 'something' or 'someone' and start taking the responsibility to respond to life with 'acceptance'.

5 Minute Managment Course

Lesson 1: 


A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. 
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. 
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. 
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.' 
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, 
after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. 
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. 
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies. 


'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?' 


Moral of the story: 
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your 
shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. 






Lesson 2: 


A priest offered a Nun a lift. 
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. 
The priest nearly had an accident. 
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. 
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' 
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. 
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' 
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' 
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. 
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. 
It said, 'Go forth and seek further up, you will find glory.' 


Moral of the story: 
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. 




Lesson 3: 


A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking 
to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. 
They rub it and a Genie comes out. 
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , 
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world' 
Puff! She's gone. 
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the 
beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' 
Puff! He's gone. 
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. 
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.' 


Moral of the story: 
Always let your boss have the first say. 




Lesson 4 


An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. 
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' 
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.' 
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. 
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. 


Moral of the story: 
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting 
very, very high up. 




Lesson 5 


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 it actually gave 
him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. 
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. 
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. 
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree. 


Moral of the story: 
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. 




Lesson 6 


A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze 
and fell to the ground into a large field. 
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. 
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he 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. 




Moral of the story: 
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. 
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. 
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
