A Story to Share...

I read this story from somewhere and wish to share it with you. 

We Are All Motivated - Either Positively or Negatively 

This is story of 2 brothers.  One was a drug addict and a drunk who frequently beat up his family.  The other one was a very successful businessman who was respected in society and had a wonderful family.  Some people wanted to find out why two brothers from the same parents, brought up in the same environment, could be so different. 

The first once was asked, "How come you do what you do?  You are a drug addict, a drunk, and you beat your family.  What motivates you?"  He said, "My father."  They asked, "What about your father?"  The reply was, "My father was a drug addict, a drunk and he beat his family.  What do you expect me to do?  That is what I am." 

They went to other brother who was doing everything right and asked him the same question.  "How come you are doing everything right?  What is your source of motivation?"  And guess what he said?  "My father.  When I was a little boy, I used to see my dad drunk and doing all the wrong things.  I made up my mind that that is not what I wanted to be." 

Both were deriving their strength and motivation from the same source, but one was using it positively and the other negatively. 

Negative motivation brings the desire to take the easier way which ends up being the tougher way.

Oh My Blog!

I never thought to have my own blog.  Language never is my strong point and writing is not my cup of tea either.  Sometimes (frankly, most of the time) I am still finding trouble to express myself, as one would expect, it leads to some unnecessary disturbance to me and to others.  Well, I guess we can’t just sit back and wait for good things to happen, good skills to come by.  As one always say, practice makes perfect.  Who knows, I maybe the next J.K. Rowling.
