Story of The Hare and The Tortoise

The Hare and The tortoise

There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the Tortoise challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.The Hare ran down the road for a while and then paused to rest. He looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"
The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."
The Tortoise walked and walked, never ever stopping until he came to the finish line.
The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise that they woke up the Hare. The Hare stretched, yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise had already crossed the finish line.
Moral: Slow and steady wins the race.

East Berlin and West Berlin - Inspirational story

Loved this: Back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin.   One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side.🙄  The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing, but they didn't. Instead they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side.☺  On top of this stack they placed the sign:   *“EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"*  How very true! You can only give what you have.  What do you have inside of you? Is it hate or love?  Violence or peace?  Death or life? Capacity to build or Capacity to destroy?  What have you acquired over the years?  *"EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"*  Think about it!☺

Interesting Story and Lesson on Two Seas - Dead Sea & Sea Of Galilee

*Here is an interesting story on two seas with some interesting lessons.* I had heard of Dead Sea in school. No one ever told me this side of the story. You may find it interesting. I look forward to your perspective. A tale of Two Seas   Sitting in the Geography class in school, I remember how fascinated I was when we were being taught all about the Dead Sea. As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea (and as my Geography teacher pointed out, if you understood that, it would guarantee 4 marks in the term paper!) It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% - almost 10 times the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. *Nothing lives in the Dead Sea.* And hence the name: Dead Sea. While the Dead Sea has remained etched in my memory, I don't seem to ...

Dust If You Must - Ladies this is for each & every one of you.

Ladies this is for each & every one of you. Remember ... a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it. 'A house   becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture .'    I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect - 'in case someone came over'.  Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun! NOW, when people visit, I don't have to explain the 'condition' of my home . They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun.  If you  haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice. Life is short. Enjoy it!  Dust if you must  ........    but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake cookies or a cake and lick the spoon or plant a  seed, ponder the difference between want and need?  Dust if you must,   but th...
