I remembered i read a story about a man who sold hotdogs the roadside. He never read newspapers as he was illiterate He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His have some problem with his eyesight,so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more meat and got himself a bigger and a better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from college, joined his father.
Then something strange happened. The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it."
The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad time." The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, and listened to the radio, he ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day, the father cut down his order for the meat and buns, took down the sign and was no longer enthusiastic. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hot dog stand.
And his sales started coming down rapidly. The father said to his son, "Son, you were right. We are in the middle of a recession. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
I would like dedicate Ourselves to what Vincent Van Gogh wrote once that
"If you hear a voice within you saying, 'You cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."
I hold this to be a truth that it doesn't count as much of what others are telling us comparing to what are we whispering to ourself.
I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. and while we are accepting their negativity we are creating our believes.
All great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.Do not let others to kill your small steps.Do not let what others believe to be your reality.
