The value of what you own is based on the value that you choose to give it.Some have fallen into the idea that the more things they acquire or the more expensive the things they own the happier they will be…As this goes on, they are never pleased and never happy. Someone will always have something nicer, newer, and bigger than you and this turns into a competition that falls into a never-ending cycle that goes on and on. You will most likely never be on top, and never satisfied if you put material things first. It is said that some of the wealthiest people in the world are the most miserable… and vis versa. They have invested all of their time and money in things…. and am so worried about loosing these THINGS… that they are caught up in the never-ending cycle. Where as people who are satisfied with where they are and with what they already have; tend to be thankful and worry less about the THINGS in there life and Focus more on Living there Life…. The value of what you own is based on the value that you choose to give it.

See Thomas Edison knew that he was not going to give up on his idea after a few shortcommings. Whether it was one time , two times, or two thousand times he did not give up. Don’t give up and keep trying, if you quit you will never learn what works. We need to learn from our mistakes and remember that it may take a long time and many tries to get it right.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window while the other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation and so on and so on.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and Swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. People walking arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn’t hear the band, he could see it. In his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, “perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”

as the man smiled, he turned to the nurse to say how blessed he was to have known him, and how confident he was to get better now, and so he did…

”there is tremendous happiness in making others happy, in spite of our own situations. if you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy”!

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.
Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet ?”
The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself.
There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself – your heart; and not the world.
