This is so encouraging just read my fellow friends.

Once upon a time, there was an unfortunate poor man. His home was also very poor – a small and empty house, where mice made their nests and spiders made their webs. People tried to avoid coming into his house – why should they stick their noses into those poor ruins? And the poor man thought that poverty is the reason of his misfortunes – his eternal destiny.
So once, the poor man met a wizard and complained to him about his poverty and miserable life. The wizard felt sorry for the poor man and gave him an unprecedented vase. And said:
- This is a magical vase that will save you from poverty.
The poor man took the vase and wanted to sell it at first and then spend the money on alcohol, as usual, besides, why would he need such a beautiful thing? But then he started admiring the vase and couldn’t take it to the market. He brought the vase home, put it on the table and started admiring it.
- It’s not right for such a beautiful thing to be empty, - the poor man thought. So he picked some wildflowers and put them into the vase.
It became even more beautiful.
- Not good, - the poor man though again, - that such a beautiful thing stands next to a spider web.
So the poor man started cleaning his house from spider webs, sweeping out cockroaches and mice, cleaning the dust, washing the floor and the walls, whitening the ceiling.
And it became clear that his house wasn’t poor, but rather warm and cosy. And the poor man wasn’t a poor man anymore, but a hard working host, who had no time for thoughts about misfortune.

Children,s defination of love ..........A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen," Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6

"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them." Jenny - age 8

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore," Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish
But the water close to Japan has not held many fish for decades. 
So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. 
The further the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring the fish
If the return trip took more time, the fish  were not fresh.
To solve this problem, fish  companies installed freezers on their boats. 
They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. 
Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. 
However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish and they did not like the taste of frozen fish 
The frozen fish brought a lower price. 
So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. 
They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. 
After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. 
The fishing industry faced an impending crisis! 
But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan. 
How did they manage...? 
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks but with a small shark
The fish are challenged and hence are constantly on the move. 
The challenge they face keeps them alive and fresh!
Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired and dull....? 
Basically in our lives, sharks are new challenges to keep us active. 
If you are steadily conquering
challenges, you are happy. 
Your challenges keep you energized. 
Don’t create Success and revel in it in a state of inertia.
You have the resources, skills and abilities to make a difference. 
Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go....
