Two Friends 

– Don’t be afraid to fail, be afraid to not to try

Once in a village, there were two best friends, they spend most of the time resting under a tree and thinking about what should they do in their life. In thinking they had already lost a lot of their precious time.

So, one day they noticed that the women in the village used to bring water pots from the river which is far far away. How many rounds they may make, the water was never enough for the family daily needs.

Now, they had an idea. They went to the village and offered them that these best friends would bring water pots on behalf of them and in return charge 25 cents per pot. Everyone liked the offer and their business grows too fast. They started to make 50 to 100 rounds daily.

The days passed, years passed. after 10 years, they were the richest men in all the close villages.

But then, one of the friends realized that they need to do something. Now, they are healthy and young but they will not stay this way forever, what will happen to our family then. But the other said forget it, nothing is going to be bad. enjoy this time, we are doing great.

But the former knows nothing but still want to find the alternative. Some days later, in a neighboring village, he saw a potter making pots and noticed a pot with a long narrow neck. He thought what if we make a large long pipe of clay and bring it to the village.

The other friend said it is never going to work, a pipe of clay, it is really a bad idea. This friend had thousands of reasons why this is not going to work but the first one had only one that he wants to try it.

The construction began. true, a lot of problems came in the way. the pipe breaks many a time and many others too. but finally after 6 to 7 months later, the pipe was all in the place and the water starts to flow in the village.

Now, he can offer a thousand Pots per day, thus decreased the rate to 10 cents per pot.

Income starts to flow in the first friend’s pocket and the second is jobless now, who wants pots for 25 cents if they can have it for 10 cents?

Moral of the story:
Don’ t be afraid to fail, be afraid to not to try. If you do nothing, you will get nothing. But if you try to do something there are chances that you may fail or you may succeed. But this time the chances had increased by 50% and it is a lot more than the former 0%.

Out of these, Two best friends – decide which is you.

Have A Beautiful New Week! 

Thought provoking!!

The Importance of walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.

This enables you at 85 years old

To spend an additional 5 months in a nursing

Home at $4,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking

Five miles a day when he was 60.

Now he's 97 years old

And we have no idea where the heck he is.

***********************************

I like long walks,

Especially when they are taken

By people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking

Is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

***************************************************

I have to walk early in the morning,

Before my brain figures out what I'm doing...

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',

I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

I do have flabby thighs,

But fortunately my stomach covers them.

********************************************

The advantage of exercising every day

Is so when you die, they'll say,

'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'

If you are going to try cross-country skiing,

Start with a small country.

**************************************

I know I got a lot of exercise

The last few years,......

Just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older,

Because there's a lot more information in our heads

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

**************************************

Every time I start thinking too much

About how I look,

I just find a pub with a Happy Hour

And by the time I leave,

I look just fine.

You could run this over to your friends

But just e-mail it to them!

It will save you the walk!
