    ATTITUDE
    There was a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair.

    He had all colors of balloons,including red,yellow,blue and green.
    Whenever business was slow,he would release a helium-filled balloon into
    the air and when the children saw it go up,they all wanted to buy one.

    They would come up to him,buy a balloon,and his sales would go up
    again.He continued this process all day.

    One day he felt someone tugging at his jacket.
    He turned around to saw a little boy who asked, "If you release a black
    balloon,would that also fly ? "

    Moved by the boy's concern,the man replied with empathy, "Son,it is not
    the color of the balloon,it is what is inside that makes it go up. "

    The same thing applies to our lives.
    It is what is inside that counts.
    The things inside of us makes us go up is our ATTITUDE.

    If you have a right/positive attitude towards your LIFE then you will
    succeed no matter what......people say u .......................
    .......no matter what your ENEMIES tell you.......

    If some ASTROLOGER tells you that STOCK MARKETS are not good for you and stay away from it.......... Then make your own decision.... .IF u play
    your moves at the right time and on the right stock....... .then no
    matter what u will keep on earning.

    It is not only about STOCK MARKETS..... .....it is also about anything
    that someone has told you not to do.......If u are really interested in
    doing a particular GOOD THING....... .then JUST DO IT.

    Don't LIVE your Life as though you have already DIED,
    DIE as if you have LIVED upto your 100%.

    BEST OF LUCK

    One day that little boy became an important person in American history. He's known with his famous speech "I Have a Dream" at Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC, August 28, 1963. His name was Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Whoa. I didn't know that. That makes sense though. "Black balloon". Nice example!

    Um, the analogy would fit Martin Luther King Jr., but I don't think the little boy was him. :X

    Anyways, nice story. Thanks for sharing.
