opportunity - 23rd July 2005, 07:46 PM

A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to
the farmer to ask his permission. The farmer looked him over and said,
"Son, go stand out in that field. I'm going to release three bulls,
one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls,
you
can
marry my daughter."
The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the
first bull. The barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking
bull
he had ever seen. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better
choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass
through the pasture out the back gate. The barn door opened again.
Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life.
It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him.
Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this
one. He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out
the back gate.
The door opened a third time. A smile came across his
face. This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This
one was his bull. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just
right and jumped at just the exact moment. He grabbed... but the bull had
no tail!
Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take
advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often
in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be
available. So always grab the first opportunity.

Hi Astha Ji,

Funny story with a deep meaning. True passed opportunities never come again. Thanx 4 sharing this sugar coated words of wisdom with us.


Luvs,

Salim

If there are no tears in the eyes, there will be no rainbow in the soul

Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly
