Objectives and Actions !!



During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalised.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, aTeacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty theBath tub."
1. Would you use the spoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor.
"A normal person would choose theBucket as it is larger than the spoon. "

"No," answered the Director.
"A normal person would pull the plug."

He flunked..........There is a difference between an objective and actions! Unless you understand your objective; you will be wasting your time in your actions.
Know your objective first and follow it with relevant actions

***

We are like this visitor who answers wrongly to the question. Should always think about this message whenever we are away from our goals in life.

Very true if we could relate to our present day worries and miseries..........

IT’S SO SIMPLE TO BE HAPPY, BUT SO DIFFICULT TO BE SIMPLE ---- Swami Vivekananda
