"Value of emotions"

Today we are sharing with you a very interesting story . Here it begins .


Once an Indian Guru (sage) was teaching the art of archery to his disciples. He took a bird shaped

toy and put it on a tree which was on a distant location . He then told his disciples to target the bird's

eye . He then asked one of his disciples , "Dear, what are you seeing ? " The disciple replied ,"Trees ,

branches ,leaves ,sky ." He told that disciple to shoot . The disciple missed the target .

Guru then asked the other disciple to describe what he saw . The disciple replied ,"the eye of the

bird". Guru told him to shoot . The arrow hit the bird's eye .


Moral : Unless we focus , its certain that we can not achieve our goal . It is hard to focus and 

concentrate, but it is a skill that can be learned.

Value of emotions

"God help those who help themselves"

 Today we are sharing with you a story of Mahatma Gandhi .

 In 1925 , the Charkha Sangh was formed .

Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh.

 One day he was addressing a meeting in orissa . When he finished his speech , a poor old woman

came to him . She was very old, her hair was grey and her clothes were in tatters. The volunteers

tried to stop her, but she somehow reached Mahatma Gandhi . "I want to see Mahatma," she insisted

and touched the feet of Mahatma on reaching him. She told him ,"Mahatma, you are doing a great

job. I want to contribute to your mission ." She brought out a copper coin from the folds of her saree

and placed it at his feet. Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully.

Jamnalal Bajaj , who was the incharge of fund-collection of Charkha Sangh, asked Gandhi for the

coin but Gandhi refused.

Jamnalal Bajaj laughingly said, "I keep cheques worth hundreds of rupees for the Charkha Sangh,

yet you are not  trusting  me for this copper coin."

 Gandhi said ," This copper coin is worth much more than those hundreds of rupees " .He added ,"If

a man has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn't mean much. But this coin

was perhaps all that the poor woman possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of

her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than a crore of

rupees."

Gandhi Ji's these words show that its not only money that has value , emotions also possess a great

value.

God help those who help themselves

Hope you read our previous article  

"Little Things Make Big Difference"

 

Friends we always say , " God will help us ". But there is a fact "God help those who help

themselves. " Here is a story narrating the same .

Once a flood was threatening a village . All the residents

were in a hurry to leave that place except one person who

was saying , " I am not escaping , I have strong belief in

God , He will save me ."

As the water level rose , a rescue-jeep came to save him .


But he refused saying , " God will save me .I don't want to go ."

With time , water level rose more . The man moved to the third storey of his building , then a boat

came to save him and again he refused .

The water level rose further , and he moved to his terrace . A helicopter came to save him but he

refused again saying ," God is great . He will not let me die "

The water level rose more and the man drowned . When he reached the God , he angrily asked

him, " I was having strong belief in you . But you make this happen, why ".

God smiled and replied ," Who do you think has sent you the jeep , boat and helicopter ? I have

helped you in many ways , but it was you who rejected all my offers ."


Moral : God help those who help themselves .And it is well said ," It takes action, preparation and 

planning rather than waiting, wondering or wishing, to accomplish anything in life ".

Little Things Make Big Difference

Hope you read our previous article  "Positive-Attitude"

Today I have an interesting story to share with you .

Once a man was taking a morning walk at the

beach . He saw that along with the tide ,

hundreds of starfish were coming and when the

tide goes back ,  starfish were left behind . With

the morning sun-rays, these fish will start dying.

When he saw these , they were alive .

The man took few steps , picked one and

 threw it into the water .

He did it again and again for other starfish . A man was standing behind him .

He was not understanding what the other person was doing . At last , he asked him ,"Hey , what are

you doing ? there are so many starfish .how many can you help ? What difference does it make ?"

The man did not reply , he moved ahead and picked up another one and threw it into the sea and said

to the other person " It makes a difference to this one ."


Moral : What difference we are making , Big or small , it does not matter. If everyone start making a

small difference , we will end up with a big difference , Am I wrong ?

Value of Life

Hope you read our previous article Your attitude decides your destiny .

Today I will share with you a motivational speech .

Once a speaker started his speach by holding a $100 bill(note). He asked the audience "Whoever want this

,please raise your hand?" . Many people raised their hands. Speaker said ,"This bill will be yours , but I

want to do something with it first". He crumpled the bill in the air and then asked again "How many of you

want it?" . Again people raise their hands .

Speaker said ,"okay guys , after doing my final activity , this bill will be yours ". He dropped that bill and

crumpled it with his shoes and then again raise it in the air saying "This bill is yours , raise hands to have it."

Again the audience raised the hands.

The speaker said , "My friends , all of us have learnt a lesson here.Everyone was raising hands for this bill

irrespective of the fact that it was crumpled and dirty.This was only because it did not decrease in value.It

was still having $100 value .

In the same manner  we came across many hurdles in our life and sometimes we feel our morale down and

crumpled like that bill .But we should never give up. Work for others welfare. You will never lose your 

value  and will always feel people raising hands for you ".

Your attitude decides your destiny

Hope you read our previous article Meaningless Goals.

Today we will be discussing the story of a bee .

Once there was a bee. She was always busy in preparing honey. And

 always a man comes and steal that honey.

Once a Bird asked her , "After so much hard work, you prepare the

honey  and that man always steal it from you. Do not you feel sad?"

Then the Bee replied - "Never , because a man can only steal my honey, but not the art of making it".



Moral  :   Nobody can steal your knowledge . And moreover its your attitude that

       decides your destiny . If that bee could have felt sad and had stopped working,

       what she would have gained ? The answer is "Nothing" . So guys , its up-to us how we

       want our life to be . A man is the product of his own thoughts . So wake up and rock the

       world with your knowledge.

Meaningless goals

Today I am going to share with you a very special story of a farmer and his dog.

A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside, and wait for vehicles to come 

around. As soon as one came , he would run down the road , barking and trying to 

overtake it. One day a neighbour asked the farmer "Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car?" 

The farmer replied, "That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one ?" 

Moral : Many people in life behave like that dog who is pursuing meaningless goals. We should be clear about the goals which we want to achieve .Do not join the crowd , do only that, which matters to you.
