Missing the forest for the tree is so common for this day and age....<BR/><BR/>And yet, I am reminded how there is a story to every saying... a counter-moral for every moral... Like 'Birds of a feather flock together' v/s 'Opposites attract', and 'Look before you leap' v/s 'He who hesitates is lost'...<BR/><BR/>When I read your story on the black dot, I was reminded of that old textbook tale where Arjuna is being coached, and how he is the only one focused enough to fire his arrow... Drona decides this when he finds that Arjuna is only able to see the specific target - the eye of a bird - and NOTHING else...<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://people.tribe.net/5f6990dc-1388-4fdb-91eb-5c9e07a94705/blog/569fdaec-ff61-40a0-a5b4-b308d978641c" REL="nofollow"> Here's a link to the tale... </A>Hammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319800213708797030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-92027916604838637862008-08-29T16:06:00.000+05:302008-08-29T16:06:00.000+05:30An excellent post again...btw i went thorugh your ...An excellent post again...btw i went thorugh your poems and jus loved them...after reading them i was inspired 2 try n rite one...so i have...:)<BR/><BR/>http://jus-like-tat.blogspot.com/2008/08/success.html<BR/><BR/>do chk it wen u hav time...thanx...:)<BR/><BR/>n btw i hav mentioned rudyard kipling as the author of "IF" now...:)Manojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682068034064565032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-63633227118090375362008-08-29T12:21:00.000+05:302008-08-29T12:21:00.000+05:30Hi Di,Thanks for that "HI"Check what it did to my ...Hi Di,<BR/>Thanks for that "HI"<BR/>Check what it did to my blog page!!<BR/>:) :) :)<BR/>have a nice weekend!!<BR/>:)Swathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02128104313954164366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-1817304432447646462008-08-29T09:55:00.000+05:302008-08-29T09:55:00.000+05:30Hi Ps How are you doing?
