Chickens or Eagles
The boundary wall of my parking lot is about 6ft in height. And last I checked, chickens do not fly that high. Unless, of course, until it meets a wall in front. And then suddenly, the chicken did. The extraordinary. It jumped up 4ft, flapped its wings harder, scratched its feet on the wall, pulled over hard, and got on top of the wall
Hello, Rajat. First things first. When you started talking, I had to pause because I kept thinking about that lame joke, why did the chicken cross the road to get to the other side? And then I had to have a good chuckle by myself because I'm such a lame person. And second thing, it's such an interesting thing to happen that the chicken dashed across the road and then jumped on such, such a high wall and then jumped over

Recently, I was just talking to someone a few days ago on one of the Yahoo mail forwards I had read as a teenager. I know that sounds very funny because I'm talking about a very, very old thing, but it was like a carrot, a coffee and an egg. And all of three of them are being boiled in water. So carrot, which is hard in the beginning, actually ends up becoming soggy towards the end

I think this clarity is extremely crucial in life to be able to understand that what is your wall? That's absolutely wonderful. I'm going to bookmark it for sure. And yes, I think adversities are when you can show the maximum. Not even maximum, I think beyond your maximum, your strength, which you often miscalculate and under calculate. So, yes, I think this was the best thing that I heard today, and in a while, actually
We are so deeply consumed in our own misery that we often overlook what universe is trying to answer to us. And that's one of the maladies of human life. They are so intelligent to understand the simplest messages of the things around us and that includes me as well sometimes. But when I went into the observant mode I tried to fathom simple things in life. I could get answers to things that I have not been able to get for a very long time
I can fell flat on my face, I can have some bruises on my elbows, my knees can get injured, my trousers can get torn at the knees, and I could look like an absolute idiot when I'm entering the office and people could make fun of me. And if that is not happening while I get late to office every single day I would consider to myself to be the luckiest guy in the world
In short, the brave are always stubborn and from heaven God smiles contentedly. For it was this that he always desired that each person take into his own hands the responsibility for his own life. For in the final analysis, he had given his children the greatest of all gifts the capacity to choose and determine their acts. So herein from where comes the anecdote of the wall. And if you have your walls in life, god is waiting for you to break them and go on to the other side
And it is that constant signals that you get at every point of your life. Any situation that will come to you you will feel most of the people say why me? Why is it happening to me? Why doesn't it happen with other people? The point is that it is everybody is in his own cocoon and in his own situation. So it reminds me of an interesting seminar where 1000 people gathered and the host was the topic that the host wanted to discuss was on adversity

Hi. Thanks for sharing this. This is so profound. I don't know if I've ever mentioned it anywhere, but Paulo Coylo is one of my favorite authors, and it's amazing to see you quote something from his book, which exactly matches the very question that I have been thinking of in my mind for a while. And I love that that bravehearted souls are stubborns. That's a beautiful, beautiful reminder. I really loved this
Yet they have come out as winners because it was their pro VEF, it was their thought process and a powerful mindset of making sure they use every bit of whatever was available to them and cross their boundaries, think outside the know. Just the way we have this ancient story about how Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon, the Rubicon River, when that time, according to the government and those norms, that river could not be crossed, but Julius Caesar just went ahead because he had something big in mind

One of my friends, we were having this conversation, and he just casually mentioned that a lot of people in deepest parts of the world have their own set of problems. And their problems are so huge. They don't have clean drinking water, they don't have two square meals a day. And these are problems that are so fundamental to one's survival. And the problems that we face are maybe the pair of shoes that we are going to wear today, whether it is matching or not
