the baloon salesman

Once there was a balloon salesman who was selling balloons at a playground. When business was slow, he would release a few balloons. As they floated up into the air, a new crowd of people would gather and his business would pick up again. He alternated the colors of the balloons, first releasing a white one, then a blue one, and later a green one. After a while a little boy who was watching what was happening, tugged on his coat sleeve, and asked the balloon salesman, “Sir, if you released a black colored balloon, would it go up?” The balloon salesman looked at the little boy and said, “Son, it’s what’s inside those balloons that make them go up.”

Moral of Story
Our success in life is not determined by who we are, how highly educated we are, how much money we have, and who we know. Success is not determined by external factors, but by what’s inside of us. We have tremendous potential within us. Most of the time we cannot change the outside world and circumstances, but we can change ourselves so that we can affect the outside world to change accordingly.

Have a fantastic day!!
