Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer, all people gathered - one boy came with an umbrella.
THAT'S FAITH
When you throw your one year old baby in the air, he laughs because he knows you will catch him.
THAT'S TRUST
Every night, as we go to bed, we have no assurance that we will wake up alive the next morning. We still have plans for the morrow.
THAT'S HOPE

the stock market explained ….
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it. The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50."
The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !!

the farmer
There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning corn in his farm. Each year, he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honours and prizes.One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew his corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours."How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" The reporter asked. "Why brother", the farmer replied, "Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen grains from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours to grow good corns."
The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbours' corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions and areas of life!Those who choose to be in harmony must help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches...Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often a participatory and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas and new knowledge with your family, friends, team members and neighbours and all. "Success breeds Success."

monkey in the bar
A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?"The guy says, "No, what?""He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender."Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff."He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves.
Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?""Now what?" asks the patron."Well, he stuck a cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that damn cue ball he measures everything first!"

Hitler & His God by Georges Van Vrekhem
"creation is not finished, at least not where the human being is concerned . a new kind of human being becomes discernible . man becomes God ...
we will free ourselves from all humane and scientific prejudices ....
gospel of the free man - of the man who is master of life and death, of fear and superstition, and who has learned to control his body, muscle and nerves . yet who also stands above the temptations of the mind and of a so-called free science ....."
Hitler's free man would live according to and in harmony with his instincts; he would be natural, 'spontaneous' being.
the VISION was supreme, the means were evil ! and humanity lost out to the devil !
