During WWII, the military analyzed the bullet holes on returning fighter planes to determine where to add more armor. The red dots in the image show where the planes that made it back were most commonly hit.
Initially, the military considered reinforcing the areas with the most bullet holes — the wings, tail, and outer fuselage. But statistician Abraham Wald pointed out a critical insight:
These are the planes that survived. The hits they sustained were not fatal.
Wald argued that the areas with few or no bullet holes — like the engine and cockpit — were the critical weak points. Planes hit in those areas didn’t return, so those missing data points were crucial.
This story teaches us survivorship bias — the logical error of focusing only on the people or things that survived a process while overlooking those that didn’t, often leading to false conclusions.
It's a classic case in statistics and decision-making, still taught widely today.

After the death of his beloved wife Gloria in 1994, James Stewart—Hollywood icon and deeply devoted husband—chose not to replace the battery in his pacemaker. This quiet but powerful decision reflected a deep grief and an acceptance of mortality. The couple had been married for nearly 45 years, and Gloria’s passing left a profound emptiness in Stewart's life. Known for his grounded, sincere demeanor both on and off screen, Stewart had lived a full life by then: a celebrated actor, decorated WWII veteran, and committed family man.

His choice not to prolong his life through medical intervention wasn’t dramatic or bitter—it was simply in line with his values. Stewart once said that Gloria was "the sunshine of my life," and without her, life had lost its glow. In declining the procedure, he wasn’t giving up—he was letting go, ready to be reunited with the love of his life. He passed away peacefully in 1997 at age 89. His decision stands as a poignant reminder of love, loss, and the grace of knowing when a chapter has ended.

They say there once lived a man so lazy… he did absolutely nothing from sunrise to sunset.

His wife, fed up with doing everything on her own, kept telling him:

— “You can’t go on like this! I work all day, and you don’t even get up! You’re going to wear me out!”

To which he calmly replied:

— “Don’t worry, my love… one day we’ll be rich and you won’t have to work anymore.”

— “And how exactly will we get rich if you don’t even move?”

— “They say there’s a wise man beyond the mountains who has all the answers. I’ll go ask him.”

And so, despite his laziness, the man set off the next day.

Along the road, he met a skinny, miserable-looking wolf.

— “Where are you headed?” asked the wolf.

— “To ask the wise man how to become rich.”

— “If you do, could you also ask him why I’m so thin? No matter how much I eat, I never gain weight.”

— “Sure,” said the lazy man.

Further on, he came across an apple tree with rotting fruit.

— “Please, ask the wise man why my apples rot before they ripen.”

— “No problem.”

And then a fish gasped from a nearby lake:

— “Help me… there’s something stuck in my throat. Please ask the wise man what to do.”

— “Will do,” said the lazy man.

After a long journey, he found the wise man meditating at sunset.

— “What can I do to become rich?” asked the man. “Also, I have a few more questions…”

The wise man answered:

— “The fish has a gem lodged in its throat. If someone removes it, they’ll gain treasure and the fish will heal.”
— “The tree has a chest of gold buried under its roots. Dig it up and the tree will bear healthy fruit.”
— “And the wolf? He must eat the first lazy man he meets on his path.”

— “What about me? How do I become rich?”

— “Simple. Retrace your steps.”

The lazy man grinned. “Perfect! I don’t have to do anything at all.”

As he passed the fish again:

— “Take the gem! It’s yours!”

— “Jump in the water? No thanks. The wise man said I just have to walk back.”

The tree pleaded:

— “Dig under my roots! You’ll find treasure!”

— “Dig? Too much work.”

Finally, he reached the wolf.

— “What did the wise man say about me?”

— “He said you must eat the first lazy man you find.”

— “Perfect,” said the wolf.
And just like that… laziness devoured the lazy man — literally.

Moral:
Laziness doesn’t just steal your opportunities — it can consume you.

He had the path to wealth in his hands.
But he didn’t want to get wet.
Didn’t want to dig.
Didn’t want to help.
Even when the reward was certain.

Effort isn’t a punishment — it’s the only real path to growth, success, and purpose.

There’s no magic formula.
Only work, persistence, and heart.

Success doesn’t come to those who wait…
It comes to those who move.

So ask yourself today:
How far are you really willing to go for your dream?

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE ALONE??

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However,these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

A cardiologist says If everyone who sees this post shares it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life..
