Staying Afloat

5 yrs back, at an amusement park, i jumped into a shallow pool. I explored more and started walking on the pool floor. Little i had known then, that a few pools have a slanting floor, making the pool deep at one end and shallow at the other. Found myself in unfamiliar territory. I did not know how to swim and obviously found myself crying for help, coz i was drowning. I gulped a lot of water, began kicking and splashing water, The faster i moved my hands and legs the deeper i went into water, struggling to stay afloat.

In life, at times, thats what you can find yourself in literally and figuratively speaking. Remember these simple things that will keep you afloat when the unknown strikes you.

- No one is responsible for your happiness except you. Its within.
- You cannot be successful without persistence. It takes persistence to win.
- If you want the reward, you must pay the price.
- Begin by giving what you want. You must sow in order to reap.
- If you were to change your script, you will get a different response.
- Keep your sense of humour and you will retain your power.
- Make your best effort. Atheletes train for 15yrs for a 20 second performance at championships.

Remember the tricks, and Stay Afloat. Enjoy ur swim in the ocean called life. India is perfectly poised to win the test, with tendulkar's much needed knock. Work for today is done, 1 hr before logoff time. Listening to John Denver - This old guitar - on my new ipod.
