Life is hard by the yard,

it's a cinch.

Difference Between Activity and Accomplishment

-
There is a big difference between activity and accomplishment. This was demonstrated by a French scientist named Fable. He conducted an experiment with processionary caterpillars. Caterpillars follow the one in front of them blindly. Fable arranged them in  a circle in a flowerpot  so that the lead caterpillar actually was behind the last one forming a circle. He put pine needles (food for the caterpillars) in the center of  the flowerpot. The caterpillars kept going in a circle in the  pot. Eventually,  after a week of circling around, they dropped dead of exhaustion and starvation with food only inches away from them. We need to learn a lesson from the caterpillars. Just because you are doing something, doesn't mean you are getting anywhere. One must evaluate one's activity in order to have accomplishment.

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river.

The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, 'What did you want the most when you were there?" The boy replied, "Air." Socrates said, "That is the secret to success.                                         When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it." There is no other secret.

'जिंदगी में हम जिस ऊंचाई पर हैं.. हमें अक्सर लगता की कुछ चीजें, जिनसे हम बंधे हैं वे हमें और ऊपर जाने से रोक रही हैं   जैसे :             घर,           परिवार,         अनुशासन,         माता-पिता,गुरू आदि और हम उनसे आजाद होना चाहते हैं... वास्तव में यही वो धागे होते हैं जो हमें उस ऊंचाई पर बना के रखते हैं.. इन धागों के बिना हम एक बार तो ऊपर जायेंगे परन्तु बाद में हमारा वो ही हश्र होगा ज...
