A wise man watches his faults more closely than his virtues; fools reverse the order.

We all have within us the potential for greatness or for failure. Both possibilities are an innate part of our character. Whether we reach for the stars or plunge to the depths of despair depends in large measure on how we manage our positive and negative potential. It is doubtful that, if left unchecked, your virtues will rage out of control. Unfortunately, the reverse is not true about your faults. Left unattended, faults have a way of multiplying until they eventually choke out your good qualities. The surest way to control your faults is to attack them the moment they appear.
 
A beautiful princess was born to the queen. The king was very happy. However, as the princess grew, the king noticed that she cannot walk properly. He called the doctor and asked him to treat her. The doctor told the king that the princess had a sore spot on her left foot. So when any pressure was put on her left foot, she felt pain.

The king was worried. He requested the doctor to suggest a solution. The doctor suggested that if she moved on the carpet made of soft cotton, her feet would not get hurt and she could walk comfortably. The king was happy. He put soft cotton carpets in the entire palace. So wherever the princess walked, she had cotton carpet under her feet. She walked without any difficulty.

As the princess grew older, she wanted to go to the school and play in the field. She also wanted to go to the market and other places. Now the king got worried as he did not have enough resources to carpet his entire kingdom.

He then consulted one minister who was very wise. The minister suggested a very simple solution which solved the entire problem without costing much.

HE SUGGESTED THAT THE PRINCESS SHOULD WEAR SOCKS MADE OF SOFT COTTON.[1]

Just like it is impossible even for a king to carpet the whole kingdom, it is impossible for any human being to ensure that everyone likes him/her.

The secret of getting liked by people is to become likeable by developing the qualities that makes a person likeable.

Short story_Release your cows:


One day, after the Buddha and a group of monks finished eating lunch mindfully together, a farmer, very agitated, came by and asked, “Monks, have you seen my cows? I don’t think I can survive so much misfortune.”

The Buddha asked him, ‘What happened” and the man said, “Monks, this morning all twelve of my cows ran away. And this year my whole crop of sesame plants was eaten by insects!”
The Buddha said, “Sir, we have not seen your cows. Perhaps they have gone in the other direction.”

After the farmer went off in that direction, the Buddha turned to his Sangha and said, “Dear friends, do you know you are the happiest people on Earth? You have no cows or sesame plants to lose.” We always try to accumulate more and more, and we think these ‘cows’ are essential for our existence. In fact, they may be the obstacles that prevent us from being happy. Release your cows and become a free person. Release your cows so you can be truly happy”.[1]

Buddha was a wise man as he prevented the creation of problem itself by releasing the cows, which he did not need.

He explained that our problems are due to excessive accumulation of wealth, which becomes the source of our troubles rather than becoming the source of joy.He explained that the root of our problems is desire. Unless we are able to manage our desires, we can’t manage our life.

A farmer could be at the best a smart person, if he can manage his cows well. He has no wisdom to identify the root of the problem and hence he tries to maximize his happiness by accumulating more wealth than he would ever need and trying to manage it well.

The famous management Guru Peter Drucker said this very wisely, “There is nothing quite so useless, as doing with great efficiency, something that should not be done at all.”

MAAJABU YA MWILI WA BINADAMU
1.Joto linalozalishwa na mwili wa binadamu kwa muda wa nusu saa linatosha kufanya nusu galoni la maji lichemke! Hii inamaanisha kwamba joto la mwili linaweza kuchemsha galoni zima la maji kwa lisaa limoja.
 
2.Inakadiriwa kwamba mtu wa kawaida mwenye miaka 70 huwa tayari ametengeneza galoni 6250 za MATE katika maisha yake. Kiasi hicho kinatosha kujaza mabwawa mawili ya kuogelea! (swimming pools)
 
3. Mishipa iliyoko mwilini kwa mtu mzima ikiunganishwa pamoja inaweza kufikia urefu wa maili elfu sitini (60,000) au kilomita 96,560. Kwa urefu huo mishipa ya binadamu mmoja inawaza ikaizunguka dunia mara mbili, kwani mzingo wa dunia ni kilomita 40,075!
