4. Pope Died

In Year 2005

Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing

to learn but as unable to pay the fees. The student struck a deal

saying, "I

will pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court". Teacher

agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course was finished

and

teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, the student

reminded him of the deal and pushed days. Fed up with this, the teacher

decided

to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue

for themselves.

The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as per

the court of law, the student has to pay me as the case is about his

non-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, student will still pay me

because he would have won his first case. So either way I will have to

get the

money". Equally brilliant student argued back saying: "If I win the

case, as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the

teacher as the

case is about my non-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, I don't

have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So either way,

I am not

going to pay the teacher anything". This is one of the greatest

paradoxes ever recorded in history...

[I_C_U 10]

Amazing bit of stuff prathod.

BTW i feel the teacher will anywy get his fees.

Since the teacher have approached the court of law, it is implied that the he has breached the deal struck between them.

Now if the court orders that the deal is to be followed strictly, then the teacher loses and student wins and he will have to pay the fees.

Determination And Persistence

In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an

idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long

Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought

that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the

idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never

been done before.

Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this

bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his

heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with

someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to

convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the

bridge in fact could be built.

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed

concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could

be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness

of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to

build their dream bridge.

The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway

a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling.

Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain

damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even

move.

"We told them so."

"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."

"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."

Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project

should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew

how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington

was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the

bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.

He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his

friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed

in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the

windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he

was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a

moment.

It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly

an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided

to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a

code of communication with his wife.

He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he

wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method

of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed

foolish but the project was under way again.

For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger

on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the

spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to

the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not

to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the

engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was

considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible

monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years

patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers

what to do.

Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude

that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an

impossible goal.

Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem

very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The

Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be

realised with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds

are.

Even the most distant dream can be realized with determination and

persistence.

The lion thought its prayers were answered when one US Zoo Manager visited

the zoo and requested the Indian zoo management to shift the lion to the US

Zoo.

The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/c environment, a

goat or two every day and a US Green Card as well....

On its first day after arrival in U.S., the lion was offered a big bag,

sealed very nicely for breakfast.

The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained only a

few bananas.

Then the lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were

worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India.

But the next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same

food, a bag of bananas was delivered to him.

The lion was so furious, it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him,

'Don't you know I am the lion...the king of Jungle..., what's wrong with your

management? What nonsense is this? Why are you delivering only a few bananas to

me everyday?'

The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle

but ...probably you did not know that you have been brought here on a

monkey's visa!!!'

Moral of the Story ...

Better to be a Lion in India than a Monkey elsewhere!!!!!

Haaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!

ALWAYS MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Many years ago, a large American shoe manufacturer sent two sales reps

out to different parts of the Australian outback to see if they could

drum up some business among the aborigines. Some time later, the

company received telegrams from both agents. The first one said, "No

business here...natives don't wear shoes." The second one said, "Great

opportunity here...natives don't wear shoes!"
