Unexpected question and witty answer

When swami Vivekananda went to USA, a lady asked him to marry her.
When Swamiji asked the reason, she said she was facinatted by his intellect and wanted a offspring with his intelligent caliber.

Swamiji smiled and said, "My dear lady, I understand your desire. Marrying and bringing a child in to this world and understanding whether it is intelligent of no, takes a very long time. Moreover its not guaranteed. Instead, to fulfill your desire immediately, I can suggest a guaranteed way. Take me as your child and your desire of having a child of my intellect is fulfilled".

The lady was speechless....

Moral:
We may receive unexpected questions at times, it depends on how we handle the situation and how witty our answer is...

Convert your biggest weakness to your biggest strength

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. He began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

If your answer is yes to both, do you think such a solution lies with an independent authority? Or do you think a corrupt Government can fight corruption on its own, and within its own ranks? If your answer is no to that, then we need to create an independent institution to fight corruption.Right? Well, that’s precisely what Anna is asking for. He is asking for a Lokpal that the Government cannot influence nor manipulate. This is the first battle. The second battle is over four things.
