Manage to see what is on the earth...

AN ASTRONOMER used to go out at night to observe the stars.  One evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep well.  While he lamented and bewailed his sores and bruises, and cried loudly for help, a neighbor ran to the well, and learning what had happened said:  "Hark ye, old fellow, why, in striving to pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?' 

We can always look in to extreme heights, but always having a truth in mind that we live on earth.

A man is known by the company he keeps.

From Fables

A MAN wished to purchase an Ass, and agreed with its owner that he should try out the animal before he bought him.  He took the Ass home and put him in the straw-yard with his other Asses, upon which the new animal left all the others and at once joined the one that was most idle and the greatest eater of them all. Seeing this, the man put a halter on him and led him back to his owner.  On being asked how, in so short a time, he could have made a trial of him,

he answered, "I do not need a trial; I know that he will be just the same as the one he chose for his companion."

The Ants and the Grasshopper

From Fables¹

  THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime.  A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food.  The Ants inquired of him, "Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?'  He replied, "I had not leisure enough.  I passed the days in singing." 

They then said in derision:  "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."

Moral of the story : "It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow"

1 - Fables : Very similiar to Indian Panchatantra and Jataka Tales (ancient to Fables), fables are Nearly as old as the Olympics, bigger than Dinosaur, older than the Titanic, more complex than Pokemon and more of them than Beanie Babies are Aesop's Fables. Every day hundreds of entire classrooms of kids from all over the world stop by to read, learn and enhance their living experience.

Life is a journey, Not a guided tour.

Talent is God-Given - Be humble, Fame is man-given - Be grateful, Conceit is self-given - Be Careful

Yesterday is already a dream, and tommorow is only vision; but Today, well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tommorow a vision of hope.

To handle yourself, use your head, To handle others use your heart. - Eleanor Roosevelt.
