Point to Ponder:
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. A quote from William Bruce Cameron in a wall poster in Albert Einstein’s office
Story Line: Reflection two weeks ago covered a story related to the first part of the above quote Not everything that counts can be counted http://bit.ly/2dDUD65
Today's Reflection covers the second part of the quote: and not everything that can be counted counts with a very humorous story narrated in the following video. A man has just finished counting the enormous amount of money (Rs 50 crores=$10 million) he has accumulated over his long career and finally decided to enjoy it. He notices that there is an uninvited person waiting at his door. The conversation between him and this stranger is not only very humorous but has a very profound message.
Reflection: I'd like to leave the reflection for you.
Life is full of uncertainty. It is already too late (to do kind, love your family, to help others whom need, etc), let's do it at the present!

Great reflection...having gratitude, in all things, is important in day to day life, and really helps with having a positive attitude no matter what happens.

I have 2 rules-Perhaps a little late. But I do follow them everyday now.
1. Before I sleep I say- thank you for today
2. When I wake up I say- If I can do one thing nice today- it is going to be a good day

Powerful thoughts around the value of gratitude in our life. Even doing a daily reflection of how the previous day went and what went well, could get you in the right mode to face the upcoming challenges.
