THE BEST FEELING ON EARTH

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”

Maya Angelou

Some years ago someone asked me a question which is very simple but the answer is very confusing if anyone thinks for a moment. He simply asked me “WHAT IS THE BEST FEELING ON EARTH”?? I kept on thinking and came up with some answers but even I was not convinced with them myself. Today I feel like writing something which will in a way answer this simple yet perplexing question.

Firstly, I guess that the answer to this question changes with age. With increase in maturity, the number of feelings that are felt and realized also increases. For a baby, the best feeling would be an assuring warm hug by his mother. For a teenager it can be anything between getting high over 8 pegs of vodka while listening to Pink Floyd or activities which are best to be censored for the readers benefit. Again for someone who is in his middle years, it can be when he gets recognition for the hard work which he has put in at his workplace. Then again as one nears the dawn of his life, the best feeling is one when he sees everyone around his family doing good for himself and he can be proud of what he has achieved in his life.

But the question was asked to me. So let me try to answer it in my way. After much thinking and reasoning I think there are two things which feels the best and nothing on earth can beat them (again I must tell you that these are my personal choices).

Let me come to the first of them. Everyone who is reading this must have had feelings for someone which was hard to express (in some cases it is still to be expressed). But here I would talk about the people who went forward and had the courage to express that feeling and got a positive answer in return. Just try to remember the day and the array of feelings that you felt. Firstly there was the indecision of whether to go ahead or not. And after that when the bullet had been fired, there was the feeling of fear. Then there was anxiety. And then after all this when the answer was the one that you hoped for, this special feeling took over. It was not exactly happiness alone. Nor was it relief all the way. You may say it was love, but that was there all along. The only way to describe the feeling was that it was LOVELY. The feeling lasts only a while and then settles down and you are back to the logical world planning the relation ahead, but those few moments feel out of this world. If anyone asks you at that particular point that how does it feel, your obvious answer would be, “THE BEST FEELING ON EARTH”.

Now coming to the second feeling which is a little abstract. It is not unnatural that we all have a bad day once in a while. Everything feels bad that day and there is this acerbic tongue that takes over. The whole world seems irritating and everyone seems like a foe. But then suddenly out of nowhere your eyes set upon a charming sweet little soul who passes by and gives an innocent smile at you. That smile has no hidden meaning. No sly thought. That soul is pure and innocent. It loves to smile and loves the world. It teaches you that it doesn’t cost a thing to smile. It halves your frustration and doubles your joy. A simple smile brings order to the unruly world around you. It is an innocent smile which has no particular meaning but it removes the bad feelings that were brewing up inside you all the while. To me that feeling of happiness when you see the innocent smile is certainly one of THE BEST FEELINGS ON EARTH.

So these are the two best feelings which I felt in my life and I really think some of you who will be reading this would agree with me. In the meantime just ponder upon this simple question and let me know all of your answers.

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

Each and every story has a message, Each story teaches Us something.Today I am going to share a few story that is shared to me by a friend. We can take these stories as lessons. These are called the management lessons. Here are they........

Lesson Number One

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"

The crow answered: "Sure, why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson Number Two

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy. "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients. "The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Number Three

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard he bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

Management Lessons Summary:

1. Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.

2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

3. When you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!

Ok here the end of the stories, How are they. Do you like them. Speak Up your Mind...
