Fwd: REVISION... WOW{By Sunny Nagpal,Delhi}

[Guest guest]

Last spring I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon.

All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl.. I braced myself for some screaming and crying. But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she gleefully shouted out, " Wow! "

I didn't realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me something. Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like responding with

" Oh no, what should we do? " But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying, " Wow, that's interesting! How can I help you? " One thing's for sure - life's always going to keep us

off balance with its unexpected problems. That's a given. What's not preordained is our response. We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated. No matter what the situation, a fascinated " Wow! " will always beat a frustrated " Oh, no. "

So the next time you experience one of life's unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a " Wow! " experience. The " Wow! " response always works . . .
