Handling Competition: By Mr. Arun
Do your things first, leave the result to
the God. Don’t get too excited if u succeed and don’t get too depressed when
you fail. Teach your mind to control your emotions. Get satisfied over what you
have achieved, don’t be greedy.
An anecdote:
A man in a village got a very beautiful horse. Everyone in the neighbourhood cam and congratulated him, ‘wow, you are really very very lucky for having this wonderful horse’. One of the persons said ‘may be’. The others thought he was crazy. Next day the horse ran away. Everyone from the neighbourhood showed their condolence,’ oh how sad! how unlucky!’ But that person said, ‘may be’. Again people thought he was a crazy lunatic. Next day that horse returned with five more horses. Everyone from the neighbourhood again praised his luck. But that person said, ‘may be’. Next day his son wanted to ride a horse and he climbed one of the horses and got his limb hurt. Again everyone soothed him, ’that’s very unlucky’. But that person again said, ’may be’. Next day the King ordered every young man in the kingdom to join the army but this boy was rejected as he was injured. This time everyone cried and congratulated him.

’99 club’ :
One day the King of a kingdom wanted to know how his people are. He personally went and observed some persons. He saw one farmer doing ploughing, whistling and he was happy with his family too. The King asked him ‘how possibly could you be happy when you are working hard in the field?’ The farmer replied, ‘I am a farmer, I cultivate food. There is enough food for my family to feed. So I am happy’. The king looked stunned. He went and asked the minister to explain him how the farmer was so happy even though he could not enjoy the pleasures he enjoyed. The minister replied, ‘may be he is not a member of the ’99 club’’. The King asked him what that was. Minister replied,’ take a sac of 99 gold coins and place it at the door of the farmer, then you will understand’. The King did the same. Next day morning the farmer was very excited to see a sac of gold coins at his house. He immediately took the sac inside and started counting the coins. They counted to 99, the farmer wondered if someone placed the sac they would have placed 100 coins, a perfect number, now where the hell that 100th coin was. He thought it might have been stolen by some thief. He asked his family to cooperate with him in finding the thief. They refused him. Apparently they started. The King saw this and asked the Minister what that was. Minister said, ‘Welcome to the 99 club’. It means that human desires are in that way they don’t get satisfied with what they get.
