A Father once gave his young son a telescope on the ocasion of his 10th birthday - one of those kind which extends, the kind dat sailors used to use. One day the boy was using his telescope & complained "Father it is useless. I can see better without it. Evrything is too small". The father smiled.. Ofcourse the boy was looking from the wrong end. He wasn't getting the big picture at all, not of his toys, not of the biggest towers in the city. He has narrow outlook through the glass. The father gently turned the little telescope around.
Now the father widned son's outlook, & how fortunate that he did. The boy grew up & improved the primitive telescope & with it discovered moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn & the mountains on our own Moon. He became the worl'd foremost astronomer of his day. His name was Galileo.
The lesson Galileo learned from his father is To see things in proper perspective, we must widen our outlook. When u look life, at others, at objects, at events, at ur job, at ur family, do u see the whole picture or only the part? From which side of telescope u r looking?
Outlook means exactly wat it says. Looking Outwards not inwards; embracing others & ceasing to be self-centred.
A right outlook towards, people, family, business assosiates, friends, ideas & products can work wonders in creating a new You - a person everyone wants to know, enjoy & share with.
