Perfect peace

A certain king promised a prize to the artist who could capture in a picture perfect peace.

Many tried.

The king looked at all the works, but there were only two he really liked them.

The first showed a perfect mirror quiet lake that reflected the surrounding mountains.

Above them was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

All who saw this painting believed that reflected perfect peace

The second had mountains, but these were rugged. Above was a dark sky,

Of which fell a mighty downpour with thunder and lightning.

Downhill seemed to resound a sparkling stream of water.

This image did not reveal anything peaceful. But when the king looked at the picture more closely,

He noticed that behind the waterfall, in a crack, grew a delicate shrub.

In it was a nest and there, amid the roar of water, a little bird.

What do you think was the winning painting? The king chose the second.

He explained -  The peace does not mean being in a quiet place, no problems, no pain.

It means that even in the midst of these circumstances, our hearts can remain calm.

This is the story of a boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost patience, one should nail behind the door.

The first day the boy drove 37 nails. During the days that followed, as he learned to control his temper, nailed less and less. He discovered it was easier mastering the bad temper  that nailing nails behind the door.

The day came when he could control his temper throughout the day. His father suggested he withdraw a nail for each day he managed to control himself.

Days passed, and announces his father  to  that there were no nails to withdraw. The man took him by the hand, led him to the door and said:

You've worked hard, my son, but look at those holes in the wood, will never be the same.

Each time you lose patience, leave scars As these.

You can insult someone and remove it said, but the scar will last forever.

When the lady came to the station, he was informed that his train was delayed about an hour. A little annoyed,  buys a magazine, a packet of biscuits and a bottle of water .

 She found a bench in the central platform and sat down, prepared for the wait.

While leafing through the magazine, a young man sat down beside him and began to read a newspaper. Then, without saying a word, he reached out, took the packet of biscuits, opened it and began to eat. The lady got a little upset; not want to be rude but neither pretend that nothing had happened. So, with an exaggerated gesture, he took the package, took a cookie and ate staring at the young.

In response, the young man took another cookie and, looking at the lady's eyes, he lifted it to his mouth. Already angry, she grabbed another cookie and with overt signs of annoyance, she is ate

The dialog looks and smiles continued between biscuit and cookie. The lady was getting irritated, and he increasingly more smiling

Then the train announced his departure. The lady got up and went, From the window, I saw the boy still sitting on the platform and thought, "What insolent and rude!What will become of our world! "He suddenly felt dry mouth for the disgust. She opened her purse to take out the water bottle and was shocked when he found the package intact biscuits there.

usually we worry for events that are not real and torment us with problems that will probably never happen.
