Quote of the day

If you don’t do it their way, it doesn’t mean you’re wrong, inferior or off the track. Let them say what they want. They’ll never stop hurling abuse at you. Don’t be distracted by their noise. Your worth is decided by the Almighty. Be dedicated to Him alone, not them. He knows.

Story: Balloon Seller and the Kid

There was a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair. He had
all colors of
balloons, including red, yellow, blue, and green. Whenever business
was slow, he would
release a helium-filled balloon into the air and when the children saw
it go up, they all
wanted to buy one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon, and his
sales would go up
again. He continued this process all day.
One day, he felt someone
tugging at his jacket.
He turned around and saw a little boy who asked, “If you release a
black balloon, would
that also fly?”
Moved by the boy’s concern, the man replied with
empathy, “Son, it is not
the color of the balloon, it is what is inside that makes it go up.”

The same thing applies to our lives. It is what is inside that counts.
The thing inside of us
that makes us go up is our attitude.

Have you ever wondered why some individuals, organizations, or
countries are more
successful than others?
It is not a secret. These people simply think and act more
effectively. They have learned
how to do so by investing in the most valuable asset–people. I
believe that the success
of an individual, organization or country, depends on the quality of
their people
