Beautiful Inspiring Story: Whom To Blame

A Boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. 
They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. 
When the boy was around two years old, 
one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. 

He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle 
and keep it in the cupboard. 
His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. 

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle 
fascinated by its colour and drank it all. 
It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. 
When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, 
where he died. The mother was stunned. 
She was terrified how to face her husband. 

When the distraught father came to the hospital 
and saw the dead child he looked at his wife 
and uttered just five words. 

QUESTIONS: 

1. What were the five words? 
2. What is the implication of this story?

ANSWER : 

The husband just said "I am with you Darling" 

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. 
The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. 
There is no point in finding fault with the mother. 
Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, 
this would not have happened. 

No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. 
What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy 
from the husband. That is what he gave her. 


If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, 
there would be much fewer problems in the world. 
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." 
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiven, selfishness, and fears. 
And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. 

MORAL OF THE STORY :

Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame,
 whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. 
By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

Inspiring Story: Acres of Diamonds...


There was a farmer in Africa who was happy and content. 
He was happy because he was content. He was content because he was happy.
One day a wise man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds 
and the power that goes along with them. The wise man said, 

"If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own city. 
If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably own your own country." 
And then he went away. That night the farmer couldn't sleep. He was unhappy 
and he was discontent. He was unhappy because he was discontent and 
discontent because he was unhappy.

                            The next morning he made arrangements to sell off his farm, 
took care of his family and went in search of diamonds. 
He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any. He looked all through Europe 
and couldn't find any.  When he got to Spain, he was emotionally, 
physically and financially broke. He got so disheartened that 
he threw himself into the Barcelona River and committed suicide.

                            Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering 
the camels at a stream that ran through the farm. Across the stream, 
the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow. 
He thought it would look good on the mantle piece. He picked up 
the stone and put it in the living room.

That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. 
He asked, "Is Hafiz back?" The new owner said, "No, why do you ask?" 
The wise man said, "Because that is a diamond. I recognize one when I see one." 
The man said, no, that's just a stone I picked up from the stream. Come, I'll show you.

There are many more." They went and picked some samples and sent them 
for analysis. Sure enough, the stones were diamonds. They found that 
the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of diamonds.*

What is the moral of this story? There are five morals:

1. When our attitude is right, we realize that we are all walking on acres 
and acres of diamonds. Opportunity is always under our feet. 
We don't have to go anywhere. All we need to do is recognize it.

2. The grass on the other side always looks greener.

3. While we are dyeing the grass on the other side, there are others 
who are dyeing the grass on our side. They would be happy to trade places with us.

4. When people don't know how to recognize opportunity, 
they complain of noise when it knocks.

5. The same opportunity never knocks twice. The next one may be 
better or worse, but it is never the same one.

Beautiful Inspiring Story :An Unwise investment..


Hard workers...Don't miss this...
Read It Completely...


A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, 
to find his 5-year  old son waiting for him at the door.
SON:   "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

DAD:   "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.

SON:   "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD:   "That's none of your business. 
Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

SON:    "I just want to know. Please tell me, 
how much do you make an hour?"

DAD:  "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said,

"Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that
 is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,

then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. 
Think about why you are being so selfish. 
I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. 

The man sat down and started to get even angrier 
about the little boy's questions.
 How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started
to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 
and he really didn't ask for money very often. 
The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.       
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,"said the man. 

"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. 
Here's the Rs.50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" 
He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. 
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?

Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."



Lesson to learn from Heart Touching Story:

But even better, share Rs.100 worth of time with someone you love. 
It's just  a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. 
We should not let time slip through our fingers without 
having spent some time with those who really matter to us, 
those close to our hearts.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for 
could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends 
we leave behind will feel the loss  for the rest of their lives. 
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into  work than to our family.

.. Think PRACTICALLY
