A Simple yet a Great Story

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

What food might this contain? The mouse wondered - - - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house! '

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, 'Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it. '

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, ' There is a mousetrap in the house! 'There is a mousetrap in the house! '

The pig sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.Be assured you are in my prayers. '

The mouse turned to the cow and said ' There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house! '

The cow said, ' Wow, Mr. Mouse. I ' m sorry for you, but it ' s no skin off my nose. '

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer ' s mousetrap . . . alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer ' s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer ' s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife ' s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer ' s wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn' t concern you,

Remember ---- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life.

We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

REMEMBER. . . . . . EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON' TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

( Author unknown but since this gives us a wonderful lesson, I thought of posting it for some of us to benefit )

FINANCIAL DOCTORS

Sat, 19 sep 7:30 pm. I went to attend a seminar where I heard a leading orthopedic surgeon from Mumbai talking on how to improve our financial health. This is what he had to say:-

If we are complaining about either time or money or both not letting us do what we want to do then it is a disease which needs a cure.

Being specialist in knee problems if someone comes to my clinic, I can assume 3 things:-

1. The person has a knee that is why he could walk in

2. He has some problem in the knee to walk into a Knee specialist clinic

3. His knee problems can be cured if he is ready to listen and follow the instructions of the doctor

Same applies in the financial health
1. A person has a life which is going on and he is living
2. He has some problems in his financial health for which he wants a cure and finds a financial doctor
3. His financial problems can be cured if he is ready to listen and follow the instructions of this financial doctor.

Of course, in both the cases the result depends on many factors such as
1. Has he gone to the right doctor ?
2. Is he willing to pay the price to get rid of his problem
3. Is he ready to listen and follow the instructions ?

Knee patients are seldom an emergency case and so they keep suffering, cribbing and complaining about the problem without going to the doctor till he really decides that he wants to get rid of the problem and is ready to pay the price.

Financial health cases are also seldom an emergency. The patient is somehow managing and so they keep suffering, cribbing and complaining about their problem without going to a Financial doctor till he really decides that he really wants to get rid of the problem and is ready to pay the price.

More often than not, many patients in both the cases violate the instructions from the doctors which results in either not getting the desired result or a long time to get the results and the normal tendency is to blame the doctor.

The financial doctors are the leaders from Networking business. A doctor is looking for people who are suffering who wants to be cured and charges a certain fee. Both benefit out of each other. A Network leader is also looking for people with financial problems whom he can show, guide and help so that he can come out of his financial problems. Both benefit out of each other in this case also.
If you lose faith on the doctor and do not follow his instructions you wont get the results. This is true with network business also and more often than not, people fall prey to "Free opinions" from less knowledgable people and lose faith on a person who is ready to invest his time to help him.
