Give

A giving  attitude is the secret to successful living.When you have an attitude of "I want,when i want it",people can tell,and they are replied. A lawyer friend says he has learned to smell a person,s motives.


           The secret of success is simple.Adele Scheele,the noted career guidance expert,said it ,"If you're in a company , your aim should be to make that company,your aim should be to make that company more successful,more productive,more effective than it's ever been before."When you want to give something back over and beyond what you've earned in your paycheck,then you are going to be noticed.


        There is a legend of a man who was lost in the desert,dying of thirst.He stumbled on untill  he came to an abandoned house. Outside the dilapiddated,windowless,weatherbeaten,deserted shack was a pump.He stumbled forward and began pumping  furiously,but no water came from the well.Then he noticed a small jug with a cork at the top and a note written on the side: "You have to prime the pump with water my friend P.S. And fill the jug again before u leave He pulled out the cork and saw that the jug was full of water.


  Should he pour it down the ?What if it didn'nt work?All of the water would be gone.If he drank the water from the jug,he could be sure he would not die of thirst.But to pour uit down the rusty pump on the flimsy instructions written on the outside of the jug?


 Something told him to follow the advice and choose the risky decision.He proceeded to pour the whole jug of water down the rusty old pumps and furiously pumped up and down.Sure enogh,the water gushed out!He had all he needed to  drink .He filled the jug again ,Corked it,and added his own words beneath the instructions on the jug."Believe me it works .You have to give it all the way before you can get anything back.


  The people who really succed are the people who give extra effort and push themselves beyond there normal limit.
