The "Want to!",
I remember the night in Miami when our son, Ian, was just five years old. We were staying with relatives and it was his bedtime. When I looked at the living room floor, I knew we had a problem. Toys were all over the place. "Ian," I said, "you need to pick up all those toys before you go to bed." "Daddy," he said, "I'm too tired to pick up my toys."
My immediate inclination was to force him to clean up the room. Instead, I went into the bedroom, laid down, and said, "Ian, come here. Let’s play Humpty Dumpty." He climbed up on my knees and I said, "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall." And he fell. Ian laughed and said, "Let's do it again." 
Well, after the third "fall," I said, "Okay, but first go pick up those toys." Without thinking, he ran into the living room and in ninety seconds he finished a job that could have taken half an hour. 
Then he jumped back on my knees and repeated, "Daddy, let’s do it again." "Ian, I thought you were too tired to pick up those toys." He answered, "I was, daddy, but I just wanted to do this!" We can finish any job when we have the "Want to!"

Secret of success! - Once a successful business man was asked “what  is the secret of your success?” “Ah! It is quite simple. I jump into my right opportunities. “But how does one know when the right  opportunity has come ?” “Oh! that you will never know”, “you should keep on jumping!”

Oh! What a Wife! - A Successful husband is a person who can earn more than what his wife can spend. And a successful wife is a person who can find such a husband.

Think & Act – A man suddenly got up in the morning and just looked the clock and saw it was 3. He then realized that he had got up 2 times in the night and this was the 3rd time. He then looked into the calendar and saw that it was 3rd of the 3rd month. 
That  day to his surprise he had 3 guests who came to his house and each of them presented him with a gift. 
As everything on that day was related to no.3, he concluded that it should be a lucky no. He just glanced that days newspaper and while going through the horse racing columns to his surprise he found that a horse by name Trio was taking part in that days race.
He ran to his bank ,took out all his money and bet for that horse. Guess what happened?
The horse came 3rd in that race.
