Man: Hi, Sis. I just came over to drop off the DVDs you wanted, and . . . Hey, wow!? Where did you get all of this stuff?
Woman: I bought it. So, what do you think of my new entertainment center? And the widescreen TV . . .
Man: Bought it?
Woman: . . . and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one.
Man: But where did you get the dough to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad again, did you?
Woman: Of course not. I got it with this!
Man: This? Let me see that . . . Have you been using Dad's credit card again?
Woman: No, silly. It's mine. It's student credit card.
Man: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these?
Woman: I got an application in the mail.
Man: Well, why did you get one in the first place?
Woman: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash . . . like the plane ticket I got recently.
Man: What plane ticket?
Woman: Oh yeah, my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break, and course, I needed some new clothes for that so . . .
Man: I don't want to hear it. How does having a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending . . . as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump!
Woman: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit . . .
Man: . . . of $20,000?
Woman: No, no quite that high. Anyway, . . .
Man: I've heard enough.
Woman: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player . . .
Man: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea, but this isridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill?
Woman: Um, with my birthday money? It's coming up in a week.
Man: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That's the least I can do.

If you say or even think you can't do something, then you won't.
It's that simple. And this is the saddest truth there is in the process of being successful.
There are so many hurdles you will face in your journey to wherever it is that you're going, there's no getting around it. There will be plenty of circumstances and people and limits that you will face insisting that you can't.
NO matter how positive, how motivated or how successful you become, there will always be obstacles in your way, it's just a natural part in the process. However, the biggest obstacle you will likely face is yourself. I can pretty much guarantee the only thing standing between you and your most outlandish dreams and goals is the limits you place on yourself.
You can accomplish almost anything you can dream of with the right tools and motivation.
But you will not accomplish even your most ordinary goals if you say you can't. You will never know how hard, or how easy something really is until you actually try with all your might if you never even give it a chance.
"Can't" is the ultimate serial killer of Chance.
You might not even be aware that you are you're own worst enemy, and how much you are limiting yourself simply by your own conviction that you can't. So evaluate the things you think you "can't" and turn it into could be. Start thinking, and then knowing you can and prove yourself wrong knowing you tried your hardest. Then when you think you've done everything you can do, and you can't do anything more, think again.
You CAN do it.

The Brazilian who has been brought back to Camp Nou in the capacity of an ambassador and Iniesta spent five seasons together at the Nou Camp, winning two La Liga titles and a
Champions League as Barcelona got the better of rivals RealMadrid in Spain.
In his new book, Iniesta recounts how Ronaldinho’s late night phone call to drop the bombshell he was joining Real Madrid at the end of the season inspired to team to put in one of the memorable Clasico performances.
“A few days before the Clasico against Real Madrid, ‘Dinho’ called me at home at night. I answered and he told me:
‘Andres, I know it’s 3am, but I have to confess something. In June I will be leaving Barca. My brother has an agreement with Real Madrid. It’s an incredible amount that I can’t refuse.
"You’re young, you can understand – but please do not tell anyone in the locker room or the club. Do not betray me I trust you more than anyone.
Andres, good night.'
“He didn’t give me time to say
anything.
The next day, we were in training and I felt an awkward atmosphere around me. The whole team was silent and they were all greeting Ronaldinho like never before.
“When the day of the Clasico came, in the locker rooms of Santiago Bernabeu, ‘Dinho’ told us:
‘Guys, today is an important game, they are strong, but these days I discovered that we were like a family. I called each of you during the night and told you that I was leaving in June, but none of you spoke. "After that I realised that we were ready to suffer in silence rather than betray each other. I’ll stay here for a long time, now let’s go onto the field and teach a lesson to these players of Real Madrid.’”
Iniesta is quoted as reported by the Independent Ronaldinho who scored twice and received a standing ovation from the Bernabeu crowd.
Not only did Ronaldinho inspire his teammates, but he clearly also inspired himself as he was given a standing ovation by the Real Madrid fans after scoring twice during Barcelona’s
dominant 3-0 win.

Is there any categorisation or fragmentation of "Good and Bad "people on this earth? What we see the 'good and bad' in the people around us,indeed is the reflection of our perspective and perception about them.
Right from our birth we have been nourished and fed by the so many 'likes and dislikes' which makes our opinions of good or bad about others.
"What lies in you, the search goes for the same in others" the human tendency of looking for the same aspects what we possess make the difference of good or bad tints of people.
When you analyses deeply, once what appears as 'good' in the course of time when it is available in excessive quantity it becomes 'bad' or hazardous. So good and bad traits of something are interrelated and they exchange according to the time and place.
If we emanate good qualities or give good things to others, we receive more or less the same but may not be exactly in the same form, it can be in another kind. The fact is that, the reciprocation for our words and deeds is inevitable.
There is a Sufi story goes like this, Once a city had protected walls and a big gate. At the entrance of the gate some people were sitting one day and a stranger riding the horse came near the group and asked, "What kind of people are living in this city" in reply an old wise man said " Why do you ask such question". The horse rider answered that " I have come from a city where people are indecent, having ill courtesy without helping nature, so I was perturbed and left that. I want to become resident of this city and live a new life here, how are the people". The old man concluded "Brother you better move on, the people here are more vile and wicked. They are indecent than what you saw in your city. Please find another". The horse rider left
The next day, a person on bullock cart came to the same gate and asked " How the people are here" again the old wise man retorted "How are the people in the city from where you came" the person said " my people are very generous, loving and courteous people. I wanted to live there till my death.Unfortunately my financial strength deteriorated, there was no demand for my goods and skills, I came here to make a living and after regaining my economies, I would go to my town and die". The old man smiled and said "You are most welcome to this city, the people here are more generous and loving than your city people, you can stay here as long as you wanted to be"
The onlookers were taken by surprise with the contradictory answers for the same question and were eager to know the reason from the old man. The wise man replied,
"People are just the way you are."
If you want to find loving people, you have to love others.
If you want to see kindness in others, you have to be very kind with the people.
If you want live with the Happy people, you spread and share the happiness.
Finally how you are for others, the others are also for you in the similar way.

You have stormy day and sunny day, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of impoverishment and abundance, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of disappointment and encouragement, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of failures and success, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of criticism and appreciation, anyway you smile at both.
You have days of becoming yourself weak and strong, anyway you smile at both.
The entire God's creation is having this bipolar phenomenon, let us understand the dual nature of each aspect of human life. We have to endure the difficulties and discomfort for a while to taste the enjoyment of splendours and comforts that followed immediately. Everything is interchangeable. So let us makeup our mind to accept the both equally, and let our emotions be balanced knowing this truth.
Strike out everything with your smile, failure never touches you.
"Smile" is one of the wonderful traits that humans exclusively endowed with, it makes our hearts delightful even in the deep sorrow. It has the remarkable impact on our physical and emotional health if it becomes our natural habit. It enhances the beauty of both our face and mind.
"Keep smiling to enrich the life."

Andres Iniesta reveals how Ronaldinho mind games inspired masterful 2005 El-clasico victory : 👇 👇
Читать полностью…When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.
