Position or Performance?

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates.
Ahead of him is a guy, nattily dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans..
God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?
The guy replies: I am Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai !
God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ..
Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Church for the last 40 years.
God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...
Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest.. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash driving Auto Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe?'
Results my friend, results,' shrugs God
While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his Auto, people PRAYED.'
Moral of the story: It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts !

Master of the Game

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written:
 
"Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym".
 
In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.           
 
Everyone thought: "Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!".
 
One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
 
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:
"There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU. You are master of the game. You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.
 
"The most important relationship you can have, is the one you have with yourself"
 
Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality. The world is like a mirror: it gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed. The world and your reality are like mirrors laying in coffins, which show to any individual, the death of his divine capability to imagine and create his happiness and his success.

It's the way you face Life that makes the difference

He Was a Kid ...
When She Said :
"If You Finish Your Food I'll Take You For a Walk ."
So He Finished His Food & Happily Said :
"Mom ... Let's Go :)"
...
But She Yelled at Him :
"It's Too Late Now ... We Can't Go Out !"
& He Sat alone Hearing Children Enjoying OutSide !

Few Years Later ... at School !!!
The Teacher Told Them :
"The One Who Improves His Behavior ..
We Will Take Him On a WeekEnd Trip !"
So He Did His Best To Be Selected ..
When The Week Ended & He asked His Teacher :
" When We are Going On a Trip Sir ?! "
The Teacher Yelled at Him :
"Which Trip are You Talking about ?!"

He Went Back Home ... Disappointed ... Couldn't even Study !!!
His Dad Saw Him & Said :
" If You Pass This Year With Good Marks I'll Buy You a Bike :)"
So He Studied Hard ... Was a Topper ... !!!
& When He asked His Dad about The Bike ...
He Yelled at Him :
"Bikes are The Main Reason Of accidents ... Forget about It !"

He Is a Man Now ...
