Recently I read this mail by my senior,

Your life is made up of 90% and other 10%. What's that? I went on to the next slide...

90% of your life is made up of things you have no control at all~~

Rest 10%, it is what you have control. You take charge of what you do, what you can achieve, by determining what you want / desire~~

Example (shown in mail):

You woke up as per usual, changed to your meeting attire and went to the living room downstairs for breakfast. Your wife went ahead to wake your 10-year-old daughter, while you enjoy your breakfast~~

Minutes later, your daughter hurried down to grab the sandwiches. Due to her being rushy, she knocked over your black coffee. "Damn! Look what you have done!" You shouted at your daughter and ran up angrily for a change of attire. Your daughter felt hurt and cried. She missed her bus and needs a ride from you since your wife already left for work earlier after waking your daughter up.

You sent your kid to work but you were late for the important meeting, and your board of directors were so displeased with your sense of urgency. Everything that day went so wrong~~

Your daughter stop talking to you as often and your wife quarrelled with you for being so harsh to your daughter...

So, what if~~~ Just a little difference you make will change the situation or not.

When your daughter knocked off your coffee, instead of yelling at her, you speak softly to her, "It's okay sweetie, Daddy will just have to change up." She calms down and hurries for school while waving goodbye to you. You make a change and gets in time for your meeting.

As mentioned in my buddy's msn personal message,

"Let's begin the day with a positive mindset. Smile!"

Yes, just stay positive and the warmth of yours reaches far and wide, don't you feel the same too? =)
