Y said, "You should share responsibilities with due love andrespect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems."X asked, "Can you explain?"Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as mywife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each othersdecisions."Still not convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples"Y said, "Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how muchamount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, airconditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keepa maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it"X asked, "Then what is your role?"Y said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whetherAmerica should attack Iraq, whether Britain should lift sanction overZimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether TigerWoods should be pardoned by his wife etc. Do you know one thing,my wife NEVER objects to any of these".GOD IS NO WHEREWe have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light andpromise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad,disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, andsee the wondrous things before us!This can be read as "GOD IS NO WHERE" or as "GOD ISNOW HERE" everything depends on how you see it. Allsuccessful people have one thing in common: Positive thinkingand passion for what they are doing!Norman Vincent Peale, the famous author of "The Power ofPositive Thinking" once told this story.A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He wasdespondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left tolive for. Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to hisoffice. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'mliving in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for livingaltogether." Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically."Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly. On a sheetof paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. Hesuggested that they list on the left side the things the man hadlost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't needthat column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I havenothing left, period." Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When didyour wife leave you?""What do you mean? She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!""That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically."Then that will be number one in the right-hand column -Wife hasn't left. Now, why your children left you?" "That'ssilly. My children are always with me !" "Good! That's numbertwo in the right-hand column - Children not in jail," saidNorman Vincent Peale, jotting it down.After a few more questions in the same vein, the man finallygot the point and smiled in spite of himself. "Funny, how thingschange when you think of them that way," he said.Motivational Quote: "Be sure that you appreciate everythingyou've got; and be thankful for the little things in life that meana lot."Inspirational Quote: "It is not what you have but it is how youthink has a profound effect on your life."January – March 2010 14
