This stuff is inspirational !!!

Really this one is very inspirational...I still have this mail in my Inbox :-)

Read this....

John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.
When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, "I don't get it!

You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

He replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a
good mood or ...you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood."

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the
positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," he said. "Life is all about choices.
When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people
affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."

I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter," he replied.
"Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.

He continued, "..the paramedics were great.

They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on
the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said John. She asked if I was allergic to anything.
'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'."

Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him
that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Changes in life....

I always wonder in life, why we keep on missing some thing in life...

But that’s the way we have to accept the change in life. We always miss some thing in life at any point of time. While going to school-we miss the home, in college-we miss the school days, in first job-we miss the college days, after marriage-we miss the bachelor life and it keeps on going....

That’s the time we have learn how to accept the changes in life. The book “who moved my cheese” tells you the most important thing about life, "Anticipate the change". Yes... anticipating the change will prepare yourself for the change... but what ever we do, we can't stop without thinking about the past...J

It was a hard fought transfer for me from Bangalore to Chennai...

As soon as I reach chennai, I was very happy to be back at home...But it was only for few hours.
I started to think about the life I had in Bangalore...16 months I lived there...

I started missing many things, the lonely walk which I used to walk from Udupi garden to my room, the days spent happily in the room, the breakfast in the Melodies hotel, Bang3 cafeteria, the amount of time spent in cafeteria, cooking in our room, the weekends spent in our room, movies watched in PVR, etc....the list keeps on going...

It was a wonderful stay in banaglore for 16 months, even though I had many problems like health problems, problems with auto guys...etc…

At some point of time we have to accept the change, we can't keep living in the same place...time has come for me to move on...so I have moved back to chennai...

More importantly I miss the personal space, I miss the loneliness and that freedom, but the life is different here, even though I miss some things, I get many things here. As the time goes the life will get settled here also.

But the memories will live forever...
