The
"Want to!",
I remember
the night in Miami when our son, Ian, was just five years old. We were staying
with relatives and it was his bedtime. When I looked at the living room floor,
I knew we had a problem. Toys were all over the place. "Ian," I said,
"you need to pick up all those toys before you go to bed." "Daddy," he said, "I'm too tired to pick up my toys."
My
immediate inclination was to force him to clean up the room. Instead, I went
into the bedroom, laid down, and said, "Ian, come here. Let’s play Humpty
Dumpty." He climbed up on my knees and I said, "Humpty Dumpty sat on
a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall." And he fell. Ian laughed and
said, "Let's do it again."
Well, after the third "fall," I
said, "Okay, but first go pick up those toys." Without thinking, he
ran into the living room and in ninety seconds he finished a job that could
have taken half an hour.
Then he jumped back on my knees and repeated,
"Daddy, let’s do it again." "Ian, I thought you were too tired
to pick up those toys." He answered, "I was, daddy, but I just wanted
to do this!" We can finish any job when we have the "Want to!"

Secret of success! - Once a successful business man was asked “what is the secret of your success?” “Ah! It is

Think & Act – A man suddenly got up in the morning and just
looked the clock and saw it was 3. He then realized that he had got up 2 times
in the night and this was the 3rd time. He then looked into the
calendar and saw that it was 3rd of the 3rd month.
That day to his surprise he had 3 guests
who came to his house and each of them presented him with a gift.
As everything
on that day was related to no.3, he concluded that it should be a lucky no. He
just glanced that days newspaper and while going through the horse racing
columns to his surprise he found that a horse by name Trio was taking part in
that days race.
He ran to his bank ,took out all his money and bet for that
horse. Guess what happened?
The
horse came 3rd in that race.
