Nasreddin and a pot

One day Nasreddin borrowed a pot from his neighbour Ali. The next day, he brought it back with another little pot inside. “That’s not mine.” said Ali. “Yes, It is.” said Nasreddin. “While your pot was staying with me, It had a baby.”


Some time later Nasreddin asked Ali to lend him a pot again. He agreed, hoping that he would once again receive two pots in return. However, days passed and Nasreddin had still not returned the pot. Finally, Ali lost patience and went to demand his property. Nasreddin said :”I’m sorry, I can’t give you back your pot, since it has died.” Ali screamed “Died! How can a pot die?” Nasreddin said: “You believed me when I told you that your pot had had a baby.”

what are the keys of being successful?

 

One way to be successful is to learn from successful people. The biography of successful people and how they approach problems is really helpful. I really like to read and learn from great prosperous writers, scientists, businessmen and so on.
It is  extremely interesting for me to know how they act when life challenges them.  Successful people learn from mistakes. They do not see them as their lack of confidance and ability but they see them as a new experience and try to learn and correct themselves.

Another attitude  is “do not think too much, just do it.” Regular people think too much on something that they intend to do. These thoughts are almost always negative. They think maybe they experience a failure, defeat, complain and etc. But successful people just do whatever they think they should do. They do not think about the negative aspects of a task or job. They just see the bright side of everything.  So, reading about successful people encourage me think and act like them and more better learn from their experiences. Consequently, I am adding a link here about ” Three Keys to creating a successful attitude”.
