If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.

On some air bases the Air Force is on one
side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the
field,
with the control tower in the middle.
One day the tower
received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time
is
it?"
The tower responded, "Who is calling?"
The aircraft replied,
"What difference does it make?"
The tower replied, "It makes a lot
of difference. If it is an American
Airlines flight, it is 3
o'clock. If it is an Air Force plane, it is
1500 hours. If it is a Navy
aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is an Army
aircraft, the big hand is
on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3. If
it is a Marine Corps
aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon."

A general noticed one of his soldiers
behaving oddly. The soldier would pick up any piece of paper he found,
frown
and say, "That's not it" and put it down again.
This
went on for some time, until the general arranged to have the
soldier
psychologically tested. The psychologist
concluded that the soldier
was deranged, and wrote out his discharge
from the army.
The soldier picked it up, smiled and said, "That's it."

During the Mexican American War, an intense
long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither
side
made any advances.
Finally, an American general had a
bright idea. He aimed his rifle to
the Mexican trenches and yelled,
"Hey, Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied, "What?" The general
shot him dead.
This continued for three days.
A Mexican
general decided that two could play this game and decided to
try it
out. He called out, "Hey, John!"
An American replied, "John isn't
here. Is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah" .

An Air Force cargo plane was preparing for
departure from Thule Air Base in Greenland. They were waiting for the
truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding
tank.
The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, the truck was late in arriving,
and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the
tank pumped out.
When the commander berated the Airman for his
slowness and promised
punishment, the Airman responded: "Sir, I have
no stripes, it is 20 below
zero, I'm stationed in Greenland, and I
am pumping sewage out of
airplanes. Just what are you going to do
to punish me?"

The General went out to find that none of his
G.I.s were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it ran a little
late. I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down,
found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and
now
I'm here."
The General was very skeptical about this
explanation but at least he
was here so he let the G.I. go. Moments
later, eight more G.I.s came up
to the general panting, he asked
them why they were late.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a
little late, I ran to the bus
but missed it, I hailed a cab but it
broke down, found a farm, bought a
horse but it dropped dead, ran 10
miles, and now I'm here."
The General eyed them, feeling very
skeptical but since he let the
first guy go, he let them go, too. A
ninth G.I. jogged up to the General,
panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus
but missed it, I hailed a cab but..."
"Let me guess," the
General interrupted, "it broke down."
"No," said the G.I.,
"there were so many dead horses in the road, it
took forever to get
around them."
