INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

The other day I was preparing fresh lime water for the first time.  I ended up adding five times the amount of lemon than needed.  It was a disaster.  It tasted so sour that one sip of it would have been enough to make a dinosaur dance.  I had to correct it anyhow.  How I wish I could remove some lemon juice from water to make it taste perfect again!  But alas! Some things can never be  undone.  Some things can never be changed.  There was no way to remove the extra lime.

Ventured another student & all the students laughed . “Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” Asked the professor. ‘No’….

There was a business executive who was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. Suddenly an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the executive’s woes, the old man said, “I believe I can help you.” He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, “Take this money.
