Once upon a time there was a caravan leader. He went from country to country selling various goods. His caravans usually had at least 500 bullock carts.
On one of these trips his path led through a very thick forest. Before entering it, he called together all the members of the caravan. He warned them, “My friends, when you go through this forest be careful to avoid the poisonous trees, poisonous fruits, poisonous leaves, poisonous flowers and even poisonous honeycombs.
“Therefore, whatever you have not eaten before – whether a fruit, leaf, flower or anything else – must not be eaten without asking me first.” They all said respectfully, “Yes, sir.”

When a person is too proud to admit a mistake, they choose
to live with the guilt in their hearts. They think that guilt

To live your full potential, always be ready to encounter some
unseen obstacles. Your attitude of flexibility will react
immediately to mend the way for the right track. If it demands
change in approach, go with confidence. Never be afraid
of a change as you may get something positive. Change
is good, because change means progress.

A friend is the best gift we give to ourselves. Friends are those people in our life with whom we do not have any blood relation. It is a relation of love and affection towards each other. A true friend loves us unconditionally, understands us, but never judge us and always tries to support us, help us and give us good advice. ~Anurag Prakash Ray
