VITAMINS FOR JOY

the art of tolerance

We are all burdened with prejudices; Against the poor or the rich, smart or slow, emaciated or obese. It is our nature to create prejudices. However, it is noble to rise above them. tho author unknown A test of courage occurs if we are part of the minority. The tolerance test occurs if we are part of the majority. tho Ralph W. Sockman Our thoughts are like invisible hands creating the people we meet.

Two babies

There were two babies in the mother’s womb. One asked the other, ‘Do you believe in life after childbirth?’ The second replied: ‘Well, of course. There must be something after the birth. Maybe we’re here to prepare for what happens next.’ ‘Nonsense,’ said the first. ‘There is no life after giving birth. What would it even look like?’ The second replied, ‘I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we’ll walk on our feet and eat with a meringue. Maybe we’ll have more senses than we can imagine now.’ The first objected: ‘That’s crazy. Walking

However, few people know that Walt Disney was once kicked out of the newspaper due to a lack of ideas, and his first cartoon company went bankrupt.

It pays to endure

‘You’re bolder than you think, stronger than you look and smarter than you think.’ unabled Christopher Robin (A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh) When I first read this quote, I remembered the story I read about a young man with extraordinary athletic skills and abilities. Already at the age of nineteen, Rafael Nadal knew that he wanted to be the best tennis player in the world. It was 2005, winning his first Grand Slam title and jumping to second place in the ATP rankings. He seemed ready for extraordinary success. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of pain in his left

the popular ones and the unknown ones

When I worked as a journalist, I had the opportunity to interview ‘stars’ including greats from the NFL, film actors, musicians, bestseller authors, politicians and television personalities. These people dominate the media. We flatter them, observe all the details of their life: the clothes they wear, the food they eat, how they do sports, who they love, what toothpaste they use. Still, I have to tell you, based on my experience, that the Paul Johnson rule has been confirmed: Our ‘stars’ are the most unfortunate group I’ve ever met. They mostly have problems in marriage and family life. Almost

Let’s react positively

I realize more and more what influence my approach has on my life. The approach is, in my opinion, more important than the facts. It is more important than the past, education, money, circumstances, failures, successes, it is more important than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, talent or skill. He has the ability to build or destroy a company, church, home. The most amazing thing is that we can decide every day what approach we will have. We cannot change the past; We cannot change the fact that people will behave

The joy of life

When you wake up in the morning, think about what a precious privilege to be alive actually is – to breathe, to think, to rejoice, to love. – Marcus Aurelius …… The train wagon swayed back and forth, the wheels whistled more than ever. Outside the window, a cold winter reigned, and the gloomy bay that the train passed by looked more like a yawning depth. The wagon was full of frozen, self-absorbed, bored passengers. Good morning! Suddenly, a little boy pushed his way through the many adults who just didn’t like to dodge. While his father remained near
