The Law Of The Seed

[RaDoStb]

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on

the tree, each with ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds. We might ask, "Why

would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more trees?" Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once.

This might mean:

You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.

You'll interview forty people to find one good employee

You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, car, vacuum cleaner, insurance policy, or idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances

to find one special friend.

When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so

disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.

Successful people fail more often. They plant more seeds.

When Things Are Beyond Your Control, Here's a recipe for permanent

misery:

a) Decide how you think the world SHOULD be.

B) Make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.

Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, get angry! That's

what miserable people do!

Let's say you expect that:

Friends SHOULD return favors.

People SHOULD appreciate you.

Planes SHOULD arrive on time.

Everyone SHOULD be honest.

Your husband SHOULD remember your birth-

These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't

happen! So you end up frustrated and disappointed. There's a better

strategy. Have fewer demands. Instead, have preferences! For things

that are beyond your control, tell yourself: "I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B"HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!" This is really a game that you play in your

head.

It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind. You

prefer that people are polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin

your - You prefer sunshine ... but rain is ok!

To become happier, we either need to

a) change the world, or

B) change our thinking. It is easier to change our thinking!

SO

It's not what happens to you that determines your happiness.

It's how you think about what happens to you

Radost,that was a great experience either to read in english and think of all things that is written on this page.

But I think the most important figure in our whole lifes lies beneath of our faith and how we react to the explicit facts.

Anyway,your story is full of precise thoughts and materials,thanks:)

RaDoStb,

You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.

You'll interview forty people to find one good employee

You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, car, vacuum cleaner, insurance policy, or idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances

to find one special friend.

But don't forget about luck. Sometimes you could get a job without twenty interviews. And you don't need to meet hundred people to find one special friend, that is not a way to do it.

People SHOULD appreciate you.

Planes SHOULD arrive on time.

Everyone SHOULD be honest.

Although planes should arrive on time (and usually they do), other two things is unreal. Nobody should be honest with u and nobody should appreciate you. it's up to you. Either you wanna live in fairy tale or you gotta admit this world's rules.

You prefer that people are polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your -

Screw them. You have your own life, so live it. Don't let somebody change the way uyou're thinking, that is your uniqueness, gal

The life is Beatiful, and it depence from which side u look at it.. My socialogy teacher used to tell us that every mornings when u got up from bed stay in front of mirror and tell urself that u have to look nice today, u'll be honest, u're not gonna hurt somebody today, u'll try ur best to make the day wonderful. So, imagine now, if u'll do it every morning u can make ur day wonderful. God love us too much, cuz he taught us to many things.Beside the death human being can solve almost all the problems, it means there is no word " I CAN'T" .. it's just a excuse for " I DON'T WANT"..so, mostly whatever happens to us it's results of our experience. U GOT WHAT U GET

it means there is no word " I  CAN'T" .. it's just a excuse for " I DON'T WANT".....

But still a lot of cases when "YOU CAN'T" for some reason, even though "YOU WANT" )

I see that there is plenty of us who can read and speak in english.so why dont we add another topic dedicated to those who loves to speak in this language?

[Sh@ten]

TPuCTAH,

those who loves to speak in this language?

Man, some of us not only loves to speak English, but also has to do so.

By the way, quote from "Simpsons":

Abu: Me speak English bad? it's unpossible ;)
