Hello everyone.Today was a really fun day.I went to gurney plaza with michael,mark,jen,roshan and chiu yen.We had fun.Me,Jen and Mike were actually supposed to watch a movie but we couldn't decide.So we went walking around.Went from manila's place to gsc to secret recipe to starbucks.In the end we played snakes and ladders,happy family and old maid at starbucks.HAHA.Roshan was the old maid.Then came home.I was recently reading this story in one of my self help books and it made me think.just thought i would post it here you know,for fun.For INSPIRATIONAL PURPOSES.however you want to look at it is up to you.
There is an ancient native american legend about a little-known tribe that was constantly at war with other Native American tribes.They abused their religion and their families, had no morals or feelings for others, lauhged at wisdom or any kind of order.Murder, rape, theft and plundering were daily occurrences.This violent tribe seemed doomed to wipe themselves of the face of the earth
Finally, an old chief gathered together a few of the least violent braves and held a council to discuss how they could save their tribe from themselves.the old chief decided that the only thing to do was to take the secret of happiness and success away from those who abused it.they would take this secret and hide it thee no one would ever find it again.The big question was-where should they hide it
One brave suggested they bury the secret of happiness and success deep in the earth.but the chief said,''No, that will never do, for man will dig deep down into the earth and find it."Another brave said to sink the secret into the dark depths of the ocean.But again the chief replied"No, not there, for man will learn to dive into the dark depths of the ocean and find it."The third brave thought they should take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.But again, the chief said,"No, for man will eventually climb even the highest of mountains and find it, and again take it up for himself."
Finally, the old chief had the answer."Here's what we will do with the secret of happiness and success,"he stated. "We will hide it deep inside of man himself, for he will never think to look for it there."
To this day according to that old native American legend, man has been running to and fro all over the earth-digging, diving and climbing-searching for somehtign that he already posseses within himself!
So thats the very 'interesting' story which i discovered.it made me think about general stuff.We always seek happiness in others or think that the word 'happiness' means having a lot of people around you.We fail in discovering the happiness within us.hmm,i for one have been failing.*sob*So anyway,let me know what you guys think.Signing out!!!
P.S.To Love Oneself Is The Beginning Of A Lifelong Romance
