A man asked for half a kilo of butter but the salesperson, a young man, said that only one kilo packs were available. The man insisted on buying a half kilo pack.

So the young man went to the manager's office and said: "An idiot wants to buy half a kilo of butter but we only have one kilo packs."

To his surprise, the customer was standing right behind him.

So, the young man added immediately; "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half.”

After the customer left, the manager said; "You have saved your position by being clever at the right time. Where do you come from?"

To this the young man said, "I come from Brazil. The place consists of only prostitutes and football players!"

The manager replied coldly, "My wife is also from Brazil ".

To this the young man asked excitedly, "Oh yeah? Which team does she play for?"

Life is complicated. Somethings in life will never be understood, no matter how hard you try or how much effort you put in.

If you ever wondered why it is important to know that you are not meant to understand everything in life, some issues are not meant to be understood; all you need to do is to accept and move on.

Making mistakes is better than faking perfection: Making mistakes is the biggest proof of the fact that you are trying. Mistakes have power to turn you into a better person than you were before, all that you need to do is to accept and learn from them and not shy away.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow: Life is too short to regret about the past and be worried about the future.

Focus on today, as that is what is in your control. When you let it pass you run the risk of turning your today into the past and all you can then do is worry over it.

So, live the moment now and never take life for granted. Doubt kills more dreams than failure: Doubt ruins your life.

It makes you go weak. Doubting your own ability is an enemy that you can never win over, unless you try to replace doubt with belief, denial with trust, weakness with strength and failure with effort.

What others think does not matter, what you think is all that counts: You are as strong as what you believe yourself to be.

Follow your dreams, no matter how silly they are, believe in your self, no matter how others believe and don’t give up, no matter how many times you fail.
