Negativity
There was a hunter who bought a bird dog, the only one of its kind in the world. That could walk on water. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw this miracle. At the same time, he was very pleased that he could show off his new acquisition to his friends.
One day the hunter invited a friend to go duck hunting. After some time, they shot a few ducks and the man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. All day long, the dog ran on water and kept fetching the birds. The owner was expecting a comment or a compliment about his amazing dog, but never got one. As they were returning home, he asked his friend if he had noticed anything unusual about his dog. The friend replied, “Yes, in fact, I did notice something unusual. Your dog can’t swim.”
Some people always look at the negative side. What about me?

Delay Giving
“Whenever people ask you for something, don’t ever give it to them right away. Make them wait a day for it,” advised the guru.
“Why?” they asked.
“Because experience shows that people only appreciate something if they have a chance to doubt whether they would get it or not.”
