Stubborn Like a Donkey



A farmer once had two donkey. He wamted to find out which of them was more stubborn than the other. So he tied the two with a 15 feet rope. He put two stacks of hay 25 feet apart and let the donkey loose. Each donkey started pulling towards its own stack of hay. After tugging, pulling, tugging, pulling, they started chokingeach other. But they were donkeys. They continued pulling in their own direction and eventually choked each other to death. They chould have both gone together in one direction and eaten one stack of hay and them gone to the other and eaten that too. But they didn't do it that way. Why? Beacuse they were donkeys. They choked each other to death.

The sad part is, there are many donkeys who exist in human form. When some of them get into positions of power they cause irreparable damage to society.

TIME - Monetary Reminder


Imagine there is a bank, which credits your account each morning with £86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every eveningcancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every pence, of course!
Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is Time.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have
failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."
Therefore, there is never not enough time or too much time. Time management is decided by us alone and nobody else. It is never the case of us not having enough time to do things, but the case of whether we want to do it.
