A man meets a guru on the road. The man asks the guru, "Which way is <br />success?" <br />The bearded sage speaks not but points to a place off in the distance. <br />The man, thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success, rushes off <br />in the appropriate direction. Suddenly, there comes a loud "SPLAT." <br />Eventually, the man limps back, tattered and stunned, assuming he must <br />have misinterpreted the message. He repeats his question to the guru, <br />who again points silently in the same direction. <br />The man obediently walks off once more. This time the splat is <br />deafening, and when the man crawls back, he is bloody, broken, tattered, and <br />irate. "I asked you which way is success," he screams at the guru. "I <br />followed the direction you indicated. And all I got was splat! No more <br />of this pointing.Talk to me!" <br /><br />Only then did the guru speak, and what he says is this: "Success IS that way. ... Just a little PAST the splat."<br />So the moral of the story is.......<br />Don't give up too soon !!
<br />Happy Saturday everyone!<br />Bassy
