Be humble. It costs nothing...
At the peak of my career, I was once traveling by airplane. The passenger next to me was elderly. Dressed in a simple shirt and pants, he appeared middle class but seemed to be well-educated. Other passengers kept glancing at me, but this gentleman appeared not to have recognized me. He was reading his newspaper, looking out of the window, and when tea came, he sipped it quietly.
Trying to strike a conversation, I smiled. The man courteously smiled back and said, “ Hello”. We got talking and I brought the subject to cinema and asked, “Do you watch films? ”The man replied, “Oh, very few. I did see one many years ago”.
I mentioned that I worked in films myself. The man said, “that’s nice .What do you do?” I replied, “I am an actor”. The man nodded, “Oh, that’s wonderful !” That was it. When we landed, I held out my hand and said, “It was good to travel with you. By the way, my name is Dilip Kumar !” The man shook my hand and smiled, “thank you…I am J R D Tata !”
I learnt, no matter how big you are; there is always someone bigger.
Be humble. It costs nothing ........

A SURPRISE LESSON FROM SQUEEZING AN ORANGE

A SURPRISE LESSON FROM SQUEEZING AN ORANGE
As told by the late Dr. Wayne W. Dyer:
I was preparing to speak at an I Can Do It conference and I decided to bring an orange on stage with me as a prop for my lecture. I opened a conversation with a bright young fellow of about twelve who was sitting in the front row.
“If I were to squeeze this orange as hard as I could, what would come out?” I asked him.
He looked at me like I was a little crazy and said, “Juice, of course.”
“Do you think apple juice could come out of it?”
“No!” he laughed.
“What about grapefruit juice?”
“No!”
“What would come out of it?”
“Orange juice, of course.”
“Why? Why when you squeeze an orange does orange juice come out?”
He may have been getting a little exasperated with me at this point.
“Well, it’s an orange and that’s what’s inside.”
I nodded. “Let’s assume that this orange isn’t an orange, but it’s you. And someone squeezes you, puts pressure on you, says something you don’t like, offends you. And out of you comes anger, hatred, bitterness, fear. Why? The answer, as our young friend has told us, is because that’s what’s inside.”
It’s one of the great lessons of life. What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it’s because that’s what’s inside. It doesn’t matter who does the squeezing—your mother, your brother, your children, your boss, the government. If someone says something about you that you don’t like, what comes out of you is what’s inside. And what’s inside is up to you, it’s your choice.
When someone puts the pressure on you and out of you comes anything other than love, it’s because that’s what you’ve allowed to be inside. Once you take away all those negative things you don’t want in your life and replace them with love, you’ll find yourself living a highly functioning life.
Here’s an orange for you!🍊
