If the street you are in is stinking

Run as fast as you can and reach your destination.
Be mama's boy, cover your nose, walk the full distance & cry your heart's content in the privacy of your home.
Think about our politics, surely there can no greater stench than that.
Play cricket, you will forget the environment or too tired to notice.
Get hooked onto Temple Run !!
Converse with your friend, chances are he may say, "Stench this !, come to my town - I will show you stench". Some relief that ?!.
Pretend there is no stench, recite "Supress short term gains for long term success" or any of the inspirational Band-Aids.
Write the book, "Positive effects of stench on body's immunity system" and sell it for $0.99. Believe me this is what sells.
Develop a software that captures the analog aroma into digital signals and feed it into an a weather forecasting android app.
Have a contest with your friends, "Who can collect the maximum pebbles on the street ?". The winner gets Rs.10 for 4 pebbles.
Jump over the wall to the next street, and start a Dosa shop with the money you earned in the pebble contest
(make sure others don't have the same idea)

Choose any strategy but for heavens sake, "Don't BEAT yourself up because the street is STINKING."

Hare & Tortoise - remastered

The HARE & THE TORTOISE story (modern version)

A hare and a tortoise met and decided to race for success. The hare was determined to put the millennium's worst insult to the their community inflicted with the "THE SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE" technique.

The hare rushed from the starting point and after an hour he could not even see the tortoise with a binocular. Excitedly he ran as fast as he could and after 4 hours reached the finishing spot and SHOCKERS - the tortoise was already there waiting for him. The referee declared the tortoise winner.

Hare:"But this is impossible.. !??"
Tortoise smiled, "Well in case you didn't notice this is a giant circular track !! - You are in the finishing point even if you don't move a step"

The new moral: "THE WINNERS WIN THE RIGHT RACE" - slow, steady, fast, furious comes later and varies from situation to situation.
Success means and should mean progress - don't waste time and effort if your path brings you back to the starting point.

Explanation: We frequently indulge in activities that are counter-productive and bring us down physically, mentally and morally. Any wonder that you were a better person last year than you are this year. Is what you do improving you to become a statesman of sorts or Are you in a wild goose chase that will leave you with a juvenile personality when you reach a mature age.?

What about the heroes, the heroines, the comedians & the villains. ? What is that you have paid for ?

Well actually they are a figment of your imagination. You pay for what you visualize.

Because if you take away all the above, you are left with thoughts. +ve, -ve, neutral.

All entertainment is about conjuring an emotion/image in your mind.

Familiarity, Cleverness, Bizarre, Cuteness, Beauty, Mischief, Passion, Vengeance - If you knew nothing about all these feelings - Entertainment would be meaningless.

A emotive person reacts more fervently than a blunted one. That is the reason for the vast difference in receptiveness across an audience.
