While slicing the meat on a plate with a spoon , the grandfather said .

" Everyone has the same opportunity to be successful , but success will not come if we just wait for someone to come to us . To enjoy success - we must be willing to stand , walk , and then take that success - then pay for it ... yaah .. just as in the stall buffet . "

Stop Complaining

Stop Complaining

Wonder whether you complain ? Though you have been blessed with a pair of strong arms to change the world . Eligible your bitching ? Though you have been awarded the intelligence that allows you to fix everything .

Do you intend to squander all of it ? and then get rid of the burden of your responsibilities ? Let the powers that be in you , because you stumbled lamented. Come strong your heart . Enforce the shoulder . Do not let the spirit go away just because you do not know the answer to your problems .

Do not let fatigue thrust your advantage . Take a deep breath . Pull all the universe is in your mind . Then find another glimmer of light behind the clouds . And began to take a new step .

Indeed , there are people who have more right to complain than you . Unfortunately they were hoarse voice inaudible , because they no longer had time to complain . Heavy burden of life that they prefer to live than they regret . If so is whether you would rather complain than live a life challenge ?

Once on a small island, there lived a wide variety of abstract objects: there is Love, Grief, Wealth, Joy, and so on. They coexist well.

But one day, come storm slammed the small island and the sea water suddenly rose and will sink the island.

All the inhabitants of the island quickly tried to save themselves. Love is very confused because he can not swim and do not have a boat. He was standing on the beach trying to find help.

While the water has been rising foot soaks Love. Shortly Love seeing Wealth pedaling boats. "Wealth! Wealth! Help me!" Love shouted. "Oh, sorry, love!" Wealth said, "my boat was filled with treasures bendaku. I can not take you and, later this boat is sinking. Moreover, there is no longer a place for you in this boat." Then quickly Wealth paddling his boat away.

Sad love once, but then he saw the joy of passing boats. "The joy! Help me!", Shouted Love. But the excitement was too excited because he found the boat so he did not hear the cries of Love.

Love the higher the water soaks down to the waist and love getting frantic. Beauty Gone Soon. "Beauty! Take me with you!", Shouted Love. "Well, love, you're wet and dirty. Come I can not take you. Later you pollute this beautiful boat." Beauty said.

Sad love to hear it. He began to sob. When it's Gone Sadness. "Oh, Sadness, take me with you," said Love. "Sorry, Love. I'm sad and I want to be alone ..." Grief said as he continued paddling the boat.

Desperate love. He felt the water getting up and going to sink it.

At that critical moment suddenly heard a voice, "Love! Let's quickly rising to the boat!" Love turned toward the sound and saw an old man with his boat. Love quickly climbed into the boat, just before the water drowning.

On a nearby island, the old man lowered Love and get going again.

At that moment, Love realized that he did not know who the parents who saved it.

Love immediately ask for an aging population on the island, who the old man. "Oh, the old man? She is a Time." the man said.

"But, why did he rescue me I do not know him. Even my friends who knew me was reluctant to help me" Love asked surprised.

"Because," the man said, "When only one who knows what the true value of love it ......"

3 X 8 = 23

3 x 8 = 23

Yan Hui was the favorite disciple of Confucius who love to learn, good nature. On a day when Yan Hui was on duty, he saw a fabric store was dikerumunin many people. He approached and found a buyer and seller of cloth were arguing.

Buyer shouted: "3x8 = 23, why did you say 24?"

Yan Hui fabric buyers approached and said: "Friend, 3x8 = 24, not need to be debated again".

Fabric buyer is not happy then pointed nose and Yan Hui said: "Who asked for your opinion? If want to ask the opinion should be asked to Confucius. Rightly or wrongly entitled Confucius say".

Yan Hui: "Well, if Confucius says you're wrong, how?"

Buyer fabric: "When Confucius said I was wrong, I cut my head to you. If you are wrong, how?"

Yan Hui: "If I was wrong, my job for you".

Both agreed to bet, then go looking for Confucius. After sitting out the problem Confucius, Confucius said to Yan Hui, laughing: "3x8 = 23. Yan Hui, you lose. Kasihkan your office to him." Yan Hui forever not going to argue with the teacher. As Confucius said she heard one, then lowered his hat he gave to the buyer cloth.

The man took a hat Yan Hui and passed to accept the judgment puas.Walaupun Yan Hui Confucius but his heart does not agree. Confucius He felt old and senile that he no longer wanted to learn from him. Yan Hui asked for leave of absence for reasons of family matters. Confucius knows the hearts of Yan Hui and gave him leave. Before leaving, Yan Hui Confucius asked him farewell and quickly returned after business was complete, and gave Yan Hui two advices: "If heavy rain, do not take shelter under a tree. And do not kill."

Yan Hui said okay and left home.

On the way tiba2 strong winds accompanied by lightning, would appear to have heavy rain. Yan Hui wanted to take shelter under a tree but tiba2 remember the advice of Confucius and inwardly thought to obey the teacher said once again. He left the tree. Not long ago he went, lightning struck and destroyed the tree. Yan Hui surprised, his first teacher's advice has been proven.

Am I going to kill people? Yan Hui reached his home it was late and did not want to disturb her sleep. He uses his sword to open his room. Arriving in front of the bed, she felt, and found there was a bed on the left side and one on the right side. He was very angry, and want to draw his sword. At the time of going thrust his sword, he remembered again the advice of Confucius, do not kill. He then lit a candle and turned out that his wife was sleeping beside her sister.

On the next day, Yan Hui back to Confucius, on his knees and said: "Master, how do teachers know what is going to happen?"

Confucius said: "Yesterday was very hot, is expected to drop as a thunderstorm, so the teacher remind you to not take shelter under a tree. Yesterday you went with anger and carrying a sword, then teacher remind you not to kill".

Yan Hui said: "Master, your guess terrific, pupil is amazed."

Confucius says: "I know you do not get time off for family matters. You do not want to learn anymore from me. Try you think. Yesterday teachers say 3x8 = 23 is true, you lose and lose your office., But if the teacher says 3x8 = 24 is true, Cain buyer who lost and it would mean missing one's life. reckon more important your office or losing one's life is more important? "

Yan Hui realized his mistake and said: "Teachers are more concerned with the major, students actually think teachers are old and senile. Pupil benar2 shame."

Since then, wherever go Yan Hui Confucius always followed.

This story reminds us:

Even if I bet and win the whole world, but I miss you, whatever that means.

In other words, you won a bet about what you think is the truth, but actually lost something more important.

Many things there are levels of importance. Do not bet mati2an gara2 to the principles of truth, but ended up sorry, never mind too late.

A lot of things do not really need at stake. Took a step back, even obtained is good for everyone.

Adamant against customers. We won, but actually lost as well.

Adamant against superiors. We won, but actually lost as well.

Insisted against her husband. We won, but actually lost as well.

Adamant against a friend. We won, but actually lost too

Victory is not about medals, but the first is a triumph of self and more important victory in the liver.
