A mad snake

Someone sent me an interesting story about  the battle between a snake and a saw. One day, the snake was hit by a revolving as it was moving around and the snake turn to coil around the saw to squeeze it to death and in the process, it suffers more pain.  Due to the pain, it turn around to bite the saw and got killed.  The lesson  is never to fight something that you dun know and in return, get hurt and killed.  To live a life in peace is knowing who is your opponent and win the battle a thousand times or live like and ostrich and get killed unnecessary. 

I recalled the incident yesterday at my yoga class.  My teacher's father have change the roof of a nearby house which was close to the gym  and the chemical smell was still heavy and I hesitated to attend the class and the teacher asked me to decide whether to stay or the workout or to leave the gym .  I was hesitant which she keep pushing me for an answer. Finally, I stayed as I want to workout with my wife who was coming later. She behave like the mad snake and started to get nasty with me.
I wanted to tell her off as it is my right to decide whether to stay or to go home and why does she need to hurry me. 

All the time I believed she is a bad business person.  In my life, I found that those skillful people are bad business  man.  They are very proud of what they can do and can never accept criticism to their work.  They re-act with anger and get themselves hurt in return.  There are many actors or artist who have been cheated of their earning or savings as they have no business sense except the pride over their work.  They become emotional when someone criticize their work as they can see perfections in their work and is not really sensible.

All customers are like King while we cannot fight the king as they have their own choice ,beliefs and likings.  If they serve with anger and emotions , they are just driving away the customers and their business cannot last for long.

Nevertheless, I am in control , sober and patience and does not that the happening to hurt us.

Namaste.
