PROCESS IS YOUR JOB , OUTCOME IS NOT YOUR JOB

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room. Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon. The speaker began.. exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.

Everyone all in one soup

The love is unending

heard a cambridge mom speaking, in a very sensible tone, to a wailing baby, saying "look darling this is a problem of your own making"

Courage is an acquired taste

Frogs and rabbits and dolls oh my Then mice destroy the house then they waltz

Mice and mice and mice and mice

Celebrate every step
