A software engineer met his end and found himself at the Pearly Gates. The Gatekeeper greeted him and tallied the score. "Your record is pretty good, Mr. Programmer. Your sins and your good deeds just about balance out. Tell you what - you may have your own choice of either Heaven or Hell." The engineer, weary of design tradeoffs and wary of uninformed decisions, asked for more details.
"Sure," replied the Gatekeeper. Here is the elevator. You can ride up and see Heaven and down to see Hell. Take your time and make your choice. But choose wisely, there is no turning back!" So the engineer rode the elevator up and took a look at Heaven. He saw the angels playing on their harps and the beatific look on the faces of the faithful, blissfully flitting back and forth among the clouds. "Well, that looks about like what I expected," he said to himself. "Let's go take a look at the alternative." So he rode down the elevator to the floor labelled "HELL" and looked around there. To his delight he found sandy beaches, beautiful women, snow-capped mountains in the background, and parties going on all over.
Returning to the Gates, he had no problem informing the Gatekeeper of his decision. "Heaven looks fine, but pretty boring to me. Hell is what I have always dreamed of! Let me in." The Gatekeeper handed him an entry pass and the engineer went back down the elevator to take his place in Hell. But to his surprise, the sun had gone out, the snow had melted and the parties were over. There was fire and brimstone, snakepits swarming with vipers, fiends torturing sinners, and devils tormenting babies. "Wait!" he cried as two monsters hauled him off to the chambers of eternal agony.
"What happened to the beach parties, fun and sunshine I saw before?" "Oh," replied the Devil. "That was just the demo."
........... and the moral of the story is: with a good marketing department, you can sell anything

The life is what you make yourself. If you allow it to go in it's own way, it will fall somewhere and cause misery. All are not so lucky to live a happy life leaving it in it's own way. You can say that there is no one in this world without facing the obstacles of negative forces. They always awaits to everyone and everywhere. If you do not plan, if you do not take precautionary measures, you may lose your own luckiest life. You can see people living a happy life even in poverty. They set their minds in that way. The contented mind make them to live a happy life with what they have. They enjoy what they got and feel happy when others enjoy with what they didn't or cannot get. Human beings are ruled by spirits. Spirits possess people according to the mental state of the human beings. This is an all time phenomena occurring in all humans. Human beings are always under the influence of spirits.
