The Sun Always Come Up in the Morning

In my household we have a saying, “the sun always comes up in the morning.” We remind each other of this when we have had a hard day and it just doesn’t seem like it is going to get any better. Sometimes it just feels like that there is no end in sight and the situation looks hopeless.

“The sun always comes up in the morning” comes from my days back in the Army, specifically my early time in the infantry. Many times we would be out on a combat patrol. It would be night and we would be lying in ambush position in the pouring rain, we might be in a patrol base and trying to get a few minutes of rest with mosquitoes buzzing in our ears with the darkness edging in on us, it might have been freezing cold and the nighttime just made it colder. These could be very miserable times. It would be hard to focus. At the same time, it was critically important that we stay on task, remain vigilant, quiet and in position. We would whisper in our buddies’ ear lying next to us, “the sun always comes up in the morning.”

…And amazingly it would.

The day break of sun coming up through the jungle canopy or over the hills would breathe new life and energy into us. It might still be raining, the mosquitoes might still be there, and it might be just as cold as it was a couple hours ago, but with the sun we were ready to start anew.

When you look at very successful people, you see the ability to start new each day. To self-recharge and begin again. It’s hard doing a lot of things, almost everything. Being a parent, earning a living, running a business, having a spouse. Through all of this there are going to be some tough times. You have to do remember two things. Keep the faith and keep doing the right things. Sometimes it seems like the darkness will never end.

It does though. The sun always comes up in the morning.

Re: How do you answer the phone? - When the phones were only phones, the ways of greeting someone on the call were different. Ever since the phones have become Gadgets, one gets to know who has called up in most cases. This also changes the way we attend the call and hence the greeting also varies. I generally see who is on call and greet accordingly as "Good (Morning / Afternoon) (Mr. / Ms.) (name of the caller)...". This definitely adds the personal touch. For others, when there is no name displayed, its the usual way.

Lifes simple instruction - Good Morning All, I made a mention of this earlier and would love to pick your brains to expand upon this topic. "I don’t think there is any more of a simple answer to life, than monitoring the information around us and then acting upon the processed information." The above quote is what I said and would love to know if you disagree with it. This blanket statement can hold everything from the theory of relativity to why is the sky grey. (sky is grey because the person processing the information is colorblind). Please do post your opinions and thoughts!
