"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the directionof his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined,he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - Henry David Thoreau

THE VICTORY
We cannot take Troy by the military alone.We must find another strategy.The cunning Greek Commander Odysseus,came up with the idea of building a huge wooden horse and hiding enough soldiers inside it.Neoptolemus,a man of honour was disgusted with the idea.It was dishonourable. Any victory gained would be stained.It would be a shameful celebration.Better to die on the battlefield in honour than to resort to such scheming.But Odysseus,faced with the possibily of fighting another 10 years in the name of Greek battle honour on the one hand and a quick victory on the other, chose the horse.The scheming worked, the citizens fell for the Greeks crap, and when the Greeks retreated,Troy opend up at long last.They enthusiastically dragged the horse into the city,celebrating the end of the war, not realising the danger that waited within.
One gift of the Trojan Horse worked more misery,bloodshed and loss for Troy than 10 years of Battles and Wars.

SURPRISE!
A Delta baggage worker almost jumped out of her skin before Halloween when she opened a jetliner's cargo door and found a cheetah running loose amid the luggage.
They told us a large animal had gotten out of a container in the cargo hold and they were having to send someone to tranquilize it," said one passenger, Lee Sentell of Montgomery,Ala.She vowed she,family,relatives and friends would never take their flights again.The airline summoned help from Zoo Atlanta, and experts rushed to a closed airport hangar and tranquilized the escaped animal and took both big cats to the zoo.
INFECTION
Cassius was the main conspirator against Julius Caesar.The deep seated problem was that he simply could not stand anybody greater than he.And that a deadly's disease.Julius must have sensed this.He bypassed Cassisus and gave the post of first praetorship to Brutus.Cassius brooded and brooded and his inward self fuming with envy and jealousy.Brutus himself disliked Caesar but he realized his place in the politics of Rome.But then,Cassius was unaware of the powers of the infector.Cassius poured poison into Brutus ears,filling it daily with tales of Caesars evil-and finally won Brutus over to the conspiracy.This was the beginning of one of the worst tragedies in political history.And undoubtly,the worst infection.And Brutus,in turn infected the Senate with an even more venomous virus which had its origins in Brutus discontent.By the time,Caesar summoned the Senate to meet in the Theatrum Pompeium on the Ides of March 44 BC,the unseen Cassius virus had spread. As the Senate convened, Caesar was attacked and stabbed to death by a group of Senators who called themselves the Liberators.
How many misfortunes could have been avoided if there was no Cassius Or Brutus around? Beware of the infector or the infected.Have you ever been in the seat of a Ceasar,Brutus or perhaps a.....Cassius?
