Inspiring Story :The wooden bowl...

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in- law, 
and a four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, 
his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. 


The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the 
elderly grandfather' s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult.
 Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.

When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth. 
The son and daughter-in- law became irritated with the mess. 
"We must do something about grandfather, " said the son. 

I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor. 
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, 
grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner 
at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, 
his food was served in a wooden bowl. 

Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather' s direction, 
he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words 
the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork 
or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing 
with wood scraps on the floor. 

He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, 
the boy responded,
"Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food 
from when I grow up."
The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. 
The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. 

Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, 
both knew what must be done. 
That evening the husband took grandfather' s hand and gently led him 
back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. 
And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer 
when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. 

Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes ever observe, 
their ears ever listen, and their minds ever process the messages they absorb. 
If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, 
they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives. 

Lesson from the Story:

The wise parent realizes that every day that building blocks 
are being laid for the child's future.

Beautiful Inspiring Story: Never Give Up...


Amir Taimur, was someone who was so firm and unfaltering 
in every predicament, that he did not cower from any misfortune. 
When the reason for this was sought from him, he said:

"Once, having fled from my enemies and seeking refuge in the ruins
 of a worn down and dilapidated building,

I was reflecting over my future when my eyes suddenly fell upon 
a small and weak Ant, carrying a grain bigger than itself, 
endeavoring to climb to the top of a wall.

"Looking carefully and counting accurately, I found that 
the grain had dropped from its clutches sixty seven times 
before the Ant finally managed to make it to the top of 
the wall with it. The spectacle of this effort on 
the part of the Ant infused within me strength of 
such great magnitude that I am never able to forget it."

"I said to myself: O' Taimur! You are by no means inferior to an Ant. 
Arise and get back to work. I got up and gathered my resolve till 
I eventually came to acquire the courage that I now possess."

Moral of the Story: Falling down is not defeat...
defeat is when you refuse to get up...

Inspiring Story that has changed my Life..

Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in 
a timber merchant,and he got it. The pay was really good 
and so were the work conditions.

For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. 
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he 
was supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees

"Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!" Very motivated 
for the boss' words, the woodcutter try harder the next day, 
but he only could bring 15 trees. 

The third day he try even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees. 
Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.

"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. 
He went to the boss and apologized, 
saying that he could not understand what was going on.

"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" 
the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. 
I have been very busy trying to cut trees...

Lesson from the Inspiring Story:

I think you have already got the point from the above story. 
Many Job seekers do the same mistake. Its not at all a hard thing 
to find various job requirements on internet but to get a job 
what exactly you have to do is Sharpening your axe. 
What does that mean? If you are a fresher
 instead of keep on applying for jobs first focus & improve your skills 
on Aptitude, Reasoning, GD, HR & puzzles etc.

If you are really good at above topics you need not worry about 
getting a good job.My dear friends, today many people are rich 
in this world because they are not rich in money from childhood 
but they are rich in Attitude. 
Attitude, that creates an altitude in your life.

It doesn't matter how much % you got in your previous degree or 
in which college you studied. It's all about focusing on your weaknesses 
by introspecting yourself. Turn your weaknesses into strengths. 
Winners don't do different things but they do things differently.

Finally to make a difference, to reach your goal what all we need is 
Burning Desire, Determination, Dedication, Positive attitude & commitment .
