Hi,
Good morning! Hope you had a great week. For me too, it was a fabulous one with a new client who seemed satisfied with my services, and a couple of new prospects in the process of placing their orders. Having now entered the last week of March and thus the final week of the financial year, it is time for everyone to take a look at the growth and success achieved during the year and plan for the New Year ahead. Have you experienced some turbulences during the year gone by? Please read the story of this week...

Saturday Story from Siva (38): The Story of Budha and His Way of Handling Turbulence
Author: Unknown (Contribution by VRK Murthy)
One day, Buddha asked one of his disciples to get some water for him to drink from a pool nearby. When the disciple reached the pool, he found that the water had been made dirty by an elephant that had just waded through it. So, the disciple was going to another source of water when Buddha called him back. The disciple explained that the water in the pool was muddy and that he was going to a steam further up.
“No need,” Buddha in his polite soberness told. He also informed him that “The water from the same pool will do.” So the disciple went back to the pool and found that the mud had settled down by then and the water was clear and sparkling. When he returned with the water, Budha told him, “See, never do anything in haste.”

Each one of us experiences ups and downs in life. There are times of Highs as well as Lows, be it in professional or personal life. It all happens to almost everyone as if it is a nature’s dictum, which one has to abide by. Still, the times of Lows are quite disturbing and distressing leading to sharp reactions rather than sublime understanding. It is again perhaps a nature’s law that anything that is agitated has to get precipitated sooner or later. Bad times don’t exist for ever, and good times will come soon... or sooner if we could only view the failures as the nature’s way of helping us enjoy the sweetness of success greater.
The Best for you always!
With love and regards,
Siva
