He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits (phone numbers). The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation: Boy: "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn? Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): "I already have someone to cut my lawn."  Boy: "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts  your lawn now." Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn. Boy: (with more perseverance) : "Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your  sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida." Woman: No, thank you. With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The  store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy. Store Owner: ...

There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home. After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor This story is reflecting on our life...many of us live under the expectations of our parent...

O ne evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about  a battle that goes on inside all people. He said, 'My son, the battle is  between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy,  jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,  inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
