Learn to Appreciate

-
Once upon a time, there was a man who was very helpful, kindhearted, and generous. He was a man who will help someone without asking for anything to pay him back. He will help someone because he wants to and he loves to.  One day while walking down a dusty  road , this man saw a purse, so he picked it up and noticed that the purse was empty. Suddenly a woman with a  policeman  shows up and gets him arrested. The woman kept on asking where did he hide her money but the man replied, “It was empty when I found it, Mam.” The woman yelled at him, “Please give it back, It’s for my son’s   school   fees.”  The man noticed that the woman really felt sad, so he handed her all his money.  He could say that the woman was a single mother.  The man said, “Take these, sorry for the inconvenience.”  The woman left and a   policeman   held the man for further questioning. The woman was very happy but when she counted her money, later on, it was doubled, she was shocked.  One day while the woman was go

Believe in yourself - II

-
One day King came to his garden and saw withering and dying trees, bushes and flowers. An oak said it dies because it can’t be as high as a pine. A pine tree was falling down because it could not give grapes like a grapevine. Meanwhile the grapevine was dying because it couldn’t blossom like a rose. But soon the King found a single plant, pleasing heart, bloomy and fresh. The king asked: All the trees and flowers here are withering, and you are flourishing, why? – I think it comes naturally. You have planted me, because it was Your wish and Your choice. If you would like to grow an oak, grapes or rose, you would plant them. And I cannot be anything else than what I am. So I try to develop my best qualities. Look at yourself. You can be only yourself. It is impossible for you to become someone else.  You can enjoy life and blossom or you can wither if you do not accept yourself.

Believe In Yourself - I

-
Jim worked at a radio station all his life. He was a well-known and famous radio show host. All of his friends and colleges knew him by one feature: if he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him: ‘No one ever sees you, why do you dress like that?’, but he always turned that into a joke. One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show dedicated to the oldest radio employees. For the first time the people, who only knew him by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked: – Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not horrible, but I’m still interested, why? – You see, – Jim answered, – at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I don’t have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean sock is not enough. It needs to be in new socks. So I needed to go to the store for socks. – But why do you

The Travelers and The Plane Tree

-
Two men were walking along one summer day. Soon it became too hot to go any further and, seeing a large plane tree nearby, they threw themselves on the ground to rest in its shade. Gazing up into the branches one man said to the other, “What a useless tree this is. It does not have fruit or nuts that we can eat and we cannot even use its wood for anything.” “Don’t be so ungrateful,” rustled the tree in reply. “I am being extremely useful to you at this very moment, shielding you from the hot sun. And you call me a good-for-nothing!” Moral: All of God’s creations have a good purpose. We should never belittle God’s blessings.

The Eternal Bond of Brother and Sister

-
I was born in a secluded village on a  mountain . Day after day, my parents plowed the yellow dry soil with their backs towards the sky. One day, I wanted to buy a handkerchief, which all girls around me seemed to have. So, one day I stole 50 cents from my father’s drawer. Father discovered the stolen money right away. “Who stole the money?” he asked my brother and me. I was stunned, too afraid to talk. Neither of us admitted to the fault, so he said, “Fine if nobody wants to admit it, you both should be punished!” Suddenly, my younger brother gripped Father’s hand and said, “Dad, I was the one who did it!” He took the blame, and punishment, for me. In the middle of the night, all of sudden, I cried out loudly. My brother covered my mouth with his little hand and said, “Sis, now don’t cry anymore. Everything has happened.” I will never forget my brother’s expression when he protected me. That year, my brother was 8 years old and I was 11 years old. I still hate myself for not having en

A Man with a Lamp

-
  Once upon a time, there was a small town. There lived a man by himself who couldn’t see. He was blind. Yet, he carried a lighted lamp with him whenever he went out at night. One night as he was coming home after having dinner outside, he came across a group of young travelers. They saw that he was blind, yet carrying a lighted lamp. They started passing comments on him and made fun of him. One of them asked him, “Hey Man! You are blind and can’t see anything! Why do you carry the lamp then?!” The blind man replied, “Yes, unfortunately, I am blind and I can’t see anything but a lighted lamp which I am carrying is for the people like you who can see. You may not see the blind man coming and end up pushing me. That is why I carry a lighted lamp”. The group of travelers felt ashamed and apologized for their behavior. Moral: We should think before judging others. Always be polite and learn to see things from others point of view.
