Dear All,
Greetings!
There was a hunter who came into the possession of a special bird dog. The dog was the only one of its kind, because it can walk on water. One day he invited a friend to go hunting with him so that he could show off his prized possession. After some time, they shot a few ducks, which fell into the river. The man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. The dog ran on water to fetch the birds. The man was expecting a compliment about the amazing dog, but did not receive it. Being curious, he asked his friend if the friend had noticed anything unusual about the dog. The friend replied, “Yes, I did see something unusual about your dog. Your dog can’t swim!”
Success Principles
More than 90% of the people that we face everyday are negative. They choose to look at the hole in the middle rather than the doughnut. Do not expect compliments or encouragement from them. These are the people who cannot pull you out of your present situation. They can only push you down. So be aware of them, spend less time with them, and do not let them steal your dreams away from you.

Unfortunately, negativity seems such an intrinsic part of our lives. We need to consciously train ourselves to see the positive, rather than the negative around us.
That was very effectively put across by your post, John. Thanks.

Mr. John:
Its true in maximum cases but this truth gives us many important lessons
1. Achievments invite rivalry.
2. Never expect praises. If it comes its good , if it does'nt its very good.
3. Success is directly proportional to accusations and negativism
4. Think twice before spreading out your acheivement to common people.
5. Neighbour's envy owners pride.

There comes a point in your life when you realize
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
