AFRICAN PROVERB

MY DREAM WOMAN

I will have to sigh to myself everytime I see your photo!! The sad truth is - I have actually dated a New York model in the year 2001 - and she was fabulously gorgeous. Vijay.

KEEP YOUR PEACE BY IGNORING

By acknowledging a petty problem we give it existence and life.the more attention you pay to a meaningless squabble the stronger it becomes.And a small mistake is made more visible and is often made worse when we try to fix it. I have learnt that sometimes it is best to leave things alone.It is very rare to meet a man who admits that what he did was wrong, devilish and serpentlike.

Those are many schemers out there and when they have got what they want- they just move on accusing their benefactors in the process. Dont try to prove them wrong.One cannot penetrate their pretences.They are masters and talented at this game. A leopard cannot change its spots.When you are scorched by this sicky species,learn the lesson and you will be better experiened in dealing with this very subtle animal.

DO NOT COMMIT TO ANYONE

It is the inexperienced fool who always rushes to take sides.He has only heard one side of the story but that is sufficient for him.He easily believes any story that is whispered and repeats the poison, even if the poison is poured out against his own friends who have no issues with him.He has a natural gifting to convert even people he dosent know to adversaries.Such is the fate of a unthinking fool. Maintain your independence by declining to take sides. The Italians describe such people as rats.


Remember the rat- it looks harmless but carries diseases- it is usually fed to the serpent.

DO NOT OFFEND THE WRONG PERSON

There are many different kinds of people in the world, and you can never assume that everyone will accept you in the same way. Deceive or outmanuever some people and they will spend the rest of their lives seeking revenge. A certain breed of the human species will defend their honour and dignity at all costs. Be peaceable with everyone- even with your opponents- and remember-never deceive or offend or act smart with the wrong person.They will retaliate sooner than we think and the payback will be greater than what they received.

THE WOUNDED TIGER

Any momentary argument you think you have gained through an argument is really an illusory and misconceived victory. The resentment and ill will you stir up will be stronger and will last longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more wiser to let others agree with us, with our actions without saying a word.There are those who will argue endlessly and mindlessly. Know when to bow yourself out of the scene before, foolishly- you push the wrong button.

Remember the tiger, wounded and running from the screaming villagers.It flees only because it is outnumbered.It disappears into the bushes- only to reappear another day- with more ferocity than ever.The wounded tiger hiding in the bushes and eyeing the lone individual tilling his land- its payback time.
