The Act of Consideration

The Act of Consideration

One day, a ten-year-old boy went to an ice cream shop, sat at a table and asked the waitress, "How much is an ice-cream cone?" She said, "seventy-five cents." The boy started counting the coins he had in his hand. Then he asked how much a small cup of ice-cream was. The waitress impatiently replied, "sixty five cents." The boy said, "I will have the small ice-cream cup." He had his ice-cream, paid the bill and left.

When the waitress came to pick up the empty plate, she was touched. Underneath were ten onecent coins as tip. The little boy had consideration for the waitress before he ordered his ice-cream.

He showed sensitivity and caring. He thought of others before himself. If we all thought like the little boy, we would have a great place to live. Show consideration, courtesy, and politeness. Thoughtfulness shows a caring attitude. Put the world before your self interest

"Don't spend your precious time asking 'Why isn't the world a better place?' It will only be time waster. The question to ask is 'How can I make it better?' To that there is an answer."

An Argument that has no Solution (interesting)

This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded in history.

Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing to learn but was unable to pay the fee.

The student struck a deal saying, "I would pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court".

Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, student reminded the deal and pushed days. Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves.

The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as per the court of law, student has to pay me. And if I lose the case, student will still Pay me because he would have won his first case. So either way i will have to get the money".

Equally brilliant student argued back saying: "If I win the case, as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher. And if I lose the case, I don't have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything".

This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded in history.

Once there was a lark singing in the forest. A man came by with a box full of worms. The lark stopped him and asked

“What do you have inside the box and where are you going?”

The farmer replied to that he had worms and he is going to market to trades them for some feathers.

The lark said “ give me the worms. I have many feathers; I will pluck one and give it to you. That saves my time of hunting for worms.

The farmer agreed and gave the worms to lark. The lark plucked one feather and gave it in return.

The next days the same thing happened and it went on and on, until a day that came the lark had no more feathers.

Now it could not fly and hunt worms. It started looking ugly, stopped singing and soon it died.

Moral: the lark thought is was easy way to get food and turned to be toughest way.

Is it not same for our lives? Many times in life we look for easiest way, which really ends up being the tougher way.

Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person

The student asked: What is marriage then?

The teacher said: In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back.

The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage.

A delightful story is told about a young man who applied for a job as a telegraph operator. He answered an ad in the newspaper and went to the telegraph office to await an interview. Though he knew Morse Code and was qualified in every other way, seven other applicants were also waiting in the large, noisy office.

He saw customers coming and going and heard a telegraph clacking away in the background. He also noticed a sign on the receptionist’s counter instructing applicants to fill out a form and wait to be summoned to an inner office for an interview. He filled out the form and sat down to wait.

After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up, wondering why he had been so bold. They talked among themselves and finally determined that, since nobody had been summoned to interview yet, the man would likely be reprimanded for not following instructions and possibly disqualified for the job.

Within a few minutes, however, the young man emerged from the inner office escorted by the interviewer, who announced to the other applicants, `Thank you all very much for coming, but the job has just been filled.`

They were all confused and one man spoke up: `Wait a minute - I don`t understand. We`ve been waiting longer than he and we never even got a chance to be interviewed.

The employer responded, `All the time you`ve been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message: If you understand this, then come right in. The job is yours.`

This man knew a valuable life-lesson that most people miss: Wherever You Are, Be There. If you`re there physically, also be there emotionally. Be there mentally. Be there attentively. Be there as fully as you can.

It`s about being present and fully alive in the moment. Wherever you are, be there. Give your full attention to others (is there really a better gift?). Give yourself fully to the task at hand or to the present moment.

When you`re completely present, you`ll make the most of every minute. And minutes lived fully add up to a life lived magnificently.
