As he walked he noticed a monk tilling the ground in the fields beside the road.<br />The monk said 'Good day ' to the traveller and the traveller nodded to the monk.<br /><br />The traveller(T1) then turned to the monk(M) and said....<br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">T1:Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you a question?</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">M: Not at all,' replied the monk.<br /></span><span style="color:#3333ff;">T1: I am travelling from the village in the mountains to the village in the valley and I was wondering if you knew what it is like in the village in the valley?<br /></span><span style="color:#009900;">M: Tell me, what was your experience of the village in the mountains?' </span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">T1: Dreadful. To be honest I am glad to be away from there. I found the people most unwelcoming. When I first arrived I was greeted coldly, I was never made to feel a part of the village no matter how hard I tried. The villagers keep very much to themselves, they don't take kindly to strangers. So tell me, what can I expect in the village in the valley?<br /></span><span style="color:#009900;">M: I'm sorry to tell you, but I think your experience will be much the same there.</span><br /><br />The traveller hung his head despondently and walked on.<br /><br />A few months later another traveller (T2) was journeying down the same road and he also came upon the monk.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">T2: Good day</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">M: Good day<br /></span><span style="color:#3333ff;">T2: How are you?<br /></span><span style="color:#009900;">M: I'm well. Where are you going?</span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">T2: I'm going to the village in the valley. Do you know what it is like?</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">M: I do. But first, tell me - where have you come from?'</span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">T2: I've come from the village in the mountains</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">M: And how was that?</span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">T2: It was a wonderful experience. I would have stayed if I could but I am committed to travelling on. I felt as though I were a member of the family in the village. The elders gave me much advice, the children laughed and joked with me and the people generally were kind and generous. I am sad to have left there. It will always hold special memories for me.<br />And what of the village in the valley?</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">M: 'I think you will find it much the same. Good day to you.<br /></span><span style="color:#3333ff;">T2: Good day and thank you.</span><br /><br />The traveller smiled and journeyed on.<br /><br />Author: Unknown<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12090555-111329680225517063?l=healthyminddiscussion.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Javier Lopezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08249338383520985961noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12090555.post-1113219929025047132005-04-11T04:41:00.000-07:002005-04-11T04:45:29.026-07:00<span style="color:#3333ff;">Hallo All</span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Feel free to leave message here to tell your friends how this article has helped you in your life and share your personal experience so that all of us will benifit!!</span><br /><br />Hero or Zero?<br /><br />Are you a Hero, a Winner? Congratulations, but be careful.<br />Remain humble, because “pride goeth before a fall.” Or are you down right now? Don’t panic. Winning means falling down and getting up, again and again. When you’re down, assure yourself that it’s only temporary. It is!<br /><br />Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.– Seneca<br />He that can’t endure the bad, will not see the good.– Yiddish proverb<br /><br /><br />Bruno’s commentary:<br />What is the difference between a Winner and someone who is not there (yet)? Winners refuse to stay down. Falling down hurts, but it is part of the game, and it is never final. Tell yourself that it is temporary, concentrate on what’s coming next, and soon you will be on your way to being a Winner again. What really matters is that you don’t lose confidence in your ability to persevere. Never.<br /><br />If you are down right now, do what singer Nat King Cole advised: “Take a deep breath, dust yourself off, and start all over again.”<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />From the Newsletter of <a href="http://www.brunogideon.com/">http://www.brunogideon.com/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12090555-111321992902504713?l=healthyminddiscussion.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Javier Lopezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08249338383520985961noreply@blogger.com0
