A very interesting Paradox

Many years ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing to learn but was unable to pay the fees. The student struck a deal saying, "I will pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court".

Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, the student reminded him of the deal and pushed days.

Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves.

The teacher put forward his argument saying:
"If I win this case, as per the court of law, the student has to pay me as the case is about his non-payment of dues. 

And if I lose the case, the student will still pay me because he would have won his first case...
So either way I will get the money".

Equally brilliant, the student argued back saying:
"If I win the case, as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher as the case is about my non-payment of dues.
And if I lose the case, I don't have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet....

So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything".

This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded.

Who is right and who is the winner?

This is part of ancient Greek history. The lawyer teacher was Protagoras (c.485-415 BCE) and the student was Euthalos. This is known as Protagoras's Paradox.

This case was not solved. The most interesting part - this is still debated (even today) in law schools as a logic problem!

Unbeatable Thought

It takes around TWO years to learn to speak.

But it takes a lifetime to learn what NOT to speak...

Don’t judge people before you truly know them

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train's window & shouted…
“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”

Dad smiled.  

And a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity.

Suddenly he again exclaimed…
“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”

The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?”

The old man smiled and said…

“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today."

Every single person on the planet has a story.

The truth might surprise you.

An English professor asked his students

To punctuate the following sentence:

A WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING

All of the males in the class wrote:

A woman, without her man, is nothing.

All the females in the class wrote:

A woman: without her, man is nothing.

PUNCTUATION IS POWERFUL.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal, they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.

Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend awake.

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" Holmes questioned.

Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.

"Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent."

Be positive.

Do as much good as you can do.

Speak as much good as you can.

Don’t think of too much of what others think of you

Remember

Lions don’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.....

This story is about a person working in a freezer plant.

It was almost the day end.  Everyone had packed up to check out.

A technical snag developed in the plant and he went to check.

By the time he finished, it was late.  The doors were sealed and the lights were off too.

Trapped inside the ice plant whole night without air and light, an icy grave was almost sure for him.

Hours passed thus…Suddenly he found someone opening the door.

Was it a miracle?

The security guard entered there with a torch light and helped him to come out.

On the way back that fellow asked the security guard, “How did you know that I am inside?” “Who informed you?”

The Guard said, “No one sir, this unit has about 50 people.

But you are the only one who says HELLO to me in the morning and BYE in the evening.

You had reported in the morning.  But did not go out.  That made me suspicious.”

Never did the person know that a small gesture of greeting someone would prove to be a lifesaver for him.

So do us.  Remember to greet when you meet someone, of course with a warm smile.

We don’t know; that may work a miracle in our life too.

One of the most spontaneous sign board which I have ever seen...

How I learned to mind my own business.....

I was walking past a mental hospital the other day and all the patients were shouting 13…. 13….. 13 …. 13

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on.

Some idiot poked me in my eye with a stick,

and they all shouted 14…. 14…. 14…. 14…

The following is the quote I have read somewhere in the internet and impacted my tone while talking to people.

95% Problems of life are due to the tone of Voice.

It is not WHAT we say, it is HOW we say.

Just change the tone and see the change in life…

Try this….

JRD Tata had a friend who used to say that he misplaces and loses his pen very often.
He had decided that he will only use very cheap pens so that he need not worry about losing them. He was worried about his carelessness habit.

JRD suggested him to buy the costliest pen he could afford and see what happens.

He did that and purchased a 22 carat gold Cross pen. After nearly six months JRD met him and asked him if he continues to misplace his pen.

His friend said that he is very careful about his costly pen and he is surprised how he has changed!

JRD explained to him that the value of the pen made the difference and there was nothing wrong with him as a person!

This is what happens in our life.

We are careful with things which we value most.

If we value our health, we will be careful about what and how we eat.

If we value our friends, we will treat them with respect.

If we value money, we will be careful while spending.

If we value our time, we will not waste it.

If we value relationship we will not break it.

Carefulness is a basic trait all of us have, we know when to be careful!

Carelessness only shows what we don't value......

The person you will be in 5 years is

based on the books you read

and the people you surround yourself with today.

Choose good books & people…

Watch your thoughts, they become words.

Watch your words, they become actions.

Watch you actions, they become habits.

Watch your habits, they become character.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

This is very emotional about attachment

Attachment is not when 2 people chat day & night …

Attachment is not when 2 people can’t live without each other...
Attachment is not when 2 people can’t stay away from each other for a moment …

But when the HR sends an email to you with subject as “INCREMENT LETTER” and the attached file is missing.

That’s when you realize the true meaning of Attachment …
