A very rich man asked a beggar on the side of the road.. "Why are you begging when you are healthy...?"
The beggar replied... "I have no work for months...
If you give me a job, I will stop begging right now"
The rich man smiled and said.. "I cannot give you a job..
But I have something better than this
Why don't you become my business partner
The beggar did not believe what he said
"What are you saying, is this possible...?"
"Yes I have a rice plant.. You supply rice in the market and whatever profit we make, we will share it among ourselves at the end of the month.."
A beam of happiness appeared in the beggar's eyes Tears came out "You have come for me like an angel from heaven, how can I thank you.."
Then suddenly he became silent and said.. "How will we share the profit..?
Will I take 20% and you 80%..or will I take 10% and you 90%..whatever it is... I am ready and very happy..."
The rich man lovingly placed his hand on his head "I want only 10% of the profit, the rest 90% is yours.. so that you can progress.."
The beggar fell on his knees.. and said while crying...
"I will do as you say... I am very grateful to you...
And from the next day the beggar started working.. with good rice and cheaper than the market... and with hard work day and night.. very soon his sales increased a lot... progressing day by day *And then the day came when the profit was to be distributed and even that 10% seemed too much to him... the beggar had never thought of that much... suddenly a devilish thought came to his mind...
"I have worked hard day and night... and that rich man did not do any work.. except giving me an opportunity.. why should I give him this 10%... he does not deserve it at all..
And then that rich man came to collect his share of 10% in the profit at the appointed time and the beggar replied
"There are still some accounts pending, I have suffered a loss here, I have to pay the loan to people, by making such faces he started avoiding giving the share to that rich man."
The rich man said that "I know how much profit you have made, then why are you avoiding giving me my share?"

Hobbies The Ongoing Cycle
When we think about the hobbies we do in life do we think about how long hobbies last and what they are? Do we think of them as being a cycle of some sort in order to live the life that we want to live? Living life through doing hobbies is a cycle in and of itself isn’t it? It is and the reason for this is, hobbies are what gives life variety and fun, the more fun and variety you have with your hobbies the more cycles come throughout them. The more we do the hobbies we enjoy the more we live the life we want to live. This means the more we get out of life too. Which means the more we do the same thing over and over again, or at least I do. When I do hobbies, usually I am doing the same hobby over and over again throughout my life because it is a way that I relax. Now not everyone does this when it comes to their hobbies but some of us do. Some of us do hobbies so much in our lives that they feel like a cycle is being done that is never ending.
