According to Zeno, ‘The goal of life is living in agreement with nature’. However, we are free either to decide to live in agreement with nature or keep asking for improvisations everywhere; life gives us unending choices to tune to. Whatever be our decision, success in life depends upon how much we accept the tidings of this universe. Wilson Mizner once said, ‘Be nice to people on your way up because you'll need them on your way down’. He was stressing on the importance of accepting people and nature.
Once a man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praise you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered with a smile, "Never criticise your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."
Another man while walking down a street heard a voice from behind, 'If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you.' The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished. He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road. Once again the voice shouted, 'Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die.' The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him. The man asked. 'Who are you?''I am your guardian angel,' the voice answered. 'Oh, yeah?' the man asked 'And where the hell were you when I got married?'
