hi,good collection. I wish if some of them would be in collection.
(( زندگي پل است از آن عبوركنيد ولي روي آن چيزي بنا نكنيد. بودا )) گروه 99 پادشاهی که یک کشور بزرگ را حکومت می کرد، باز هم از زندگی خود راضی نبود؛ اما خود نیز علت را نمی دانست. روزی پادشاه در کاخ امپراتوری قدم می زد. هنگامی که از آشپزخانه عبور می کرد، صدای ترانه ای را شنید. به دنبال صدا، پادشاه متوجه یک آشپز شد که روی صورتش برق سعادت و شادی دیده می شد. پادشاه بسیار تعجب کرد و از آشپز پرسید: "چرا اینقدر شاد هستی؟" آشپز جواب داد: "قربان، من فقط یک آشپز هستم، اما تلاش می کنم تا همسر و بچه ام را شاد کنم. ما خانه اي حصیری تهیه کرده ایم و به اندازه کافی خوراک و پوشاک داریم. بدین سبب من راضی و خوشحال هستم..." پس از شنیدن سخن آشپز، پادشاه با نخست وزیر در این مورد صحبت کرد. نخست وزیر به پادشاه گفت : "قربان، این آشپز هنوز عضو گروه 99 نیست!!! اگر او به این گروه نپیوندد، نشانگر آن است که مرد خوشبینی است." پادشاه با تعجب پرسید: "گروه 99 چیست؟؟؟" نخست وزیر جواب داد: "اگر می خواهید بدانید که گروه 99 چیست، باید اين کار را انجام دهید: یک کیسه با 99 سکه طلا در مقابل در خانه آشپز بگذارید. به زودی خواهید فهمید که گروه 99 چیست!!!" پادشاه بر اساس حرف های نخست وزیر فرمان داد یک کیسه با 99 سکه طلا را در مقابل در خانه آشپز قرار دهند.. آشپز پس از انجام کارها به خانه باز گشت و در مقابل در کیسه را دید. با تعجب کیسه را به اتاق برد و باز کرد. با دیدن سکه های طلایی ابتدا متعجب شد و سپس از شادی آشفته و شوریده گشت. آشپز سکه های طلایی را روی میز گذاشت و آنها را شمرد. 99 سکه؟؟؟ آشپز فکر کرد اشتباهی رخ داده است. بارها طلاها را شمرد؛ ولی واقعاً 99 سکه بود!!! او تعجب کرد که چرا تنها 99 سکه است و 100 سکه نیست!!! فکر کرد که یک سکه دیگر کجاست و شروع به جستجوی سکه صدم کرد. اتاق ها و حتی حیاط را زیر و رو کرد؛ اما خسته و کوفته و ناامید به این کار خاتمه داد!!! آشپز بسیار دل شکسته شد و تصمیم گرفت از فردا بسیار تلاش کند تا یک سکه طلایی دیگر بدست آورد و ثروت خود را هر چه زودتر به یکصد سکه طلا برساند. تا دیروقت کار کرد. به همین دلیل صبح روز بعد دیرتر از خواب بیدار شد و از همسر و فرزندش انتقاد کرد که چرا وی را بیدار نکرده اند!!! آشپز دیگر مانند گذشته خوشحال نبود و آواز هم نمی خواند؛ او فقط تا حد توان کار می کرد!!! پادشاه نمی دانست که چرا این کیسه چنین بلایی برسر آشپز آورده است و علت را از نخست وزیر پرسید. نخست وزیر جواب داد: "قربان، حالا این آشپز رسماً به عضویت گروه 99 درآمد!!! اعضای گروه 99 چنین افرادی هستند: آنان زیاد دارند اما راضی نیستند. تا آخرین حد توان کار می کنند تا بیشتر بدست آورند. آنان می خواهند هر چه زودتر " یکصد" سکه را از آن خود کنند!!! این علت اصلی نگرانی ها و آلام آنان می باشد. آنها به همین دلیل شادی و رضایت را از دست می دهند و البته همین افراد اعضای گروه 99 نامیده می شوند!!!

Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way u react to situations). What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down; the plane being late in arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but YOU can control how you react. Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and Change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 110 km/h in a 80 km/h speed Limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $300 & some demerit points (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. You arrive at the office 20 minutes late, because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day? A) Did the coffee cause it? B) Did your daughter cause it? C) Did the policeman cause it? D) Did you cause it? The answer is obviously D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.... Coffee plashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the Window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your spouse kiss before you go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having. Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control Over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction. Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle: If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you. React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc. How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel and hurt your own fingers? Do you curse? Does your blood pressure rocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it. You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passengers. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90/10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90/10 principle is incredible. It seems simple commonsense but very few apply this principle! The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, court trials, problems and heartaches. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time. Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It WILL change your life!
This is the secret of our life .. be patient as nothing permanent
