Solving problems

If you look at any situation you will see an opportunity for learning contained within it. The more powerful the situation, the more powerful the potential learning.

Do not expect compliments

There was a hunter who came into the possession of a special bird dog. The dog was the only one of its kind, because it can walk on water. One day he invited a friend to go hunting with him so that he could show off his prized possession. After some time, they shot a few ducks, which fell into the river. The man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. The dog ran on water to fetch the birds. The man was expecting a compliment about the amazing dog, but did not receive it. Being curious, he asked his friend if the friend had noticed anything unusual about the dog.

The friend replied, "Yes, I did see something unusual about your dog. Your dog can't swim!"

Moral of the story is:
A lot of people we face everyday are negative. They choose to look at the hole in the middle rather than the doughnut.
Do not expect compliments or encouragement from them. These are the people who cannot pull you out of your present situation. They can only push you down. So be aware of them also don’t be like them.
