The teacher stopped and asked, "What do you think she shouted?"
Most of the students excitedly answered, "I hate you! I was blind!"
Now, the teacher noticed a boy who was silent throughout, she got him to answer and he replied, "Teacher, I believe she would have shouted - Take care of our child!"
The teacher was surprised, asking "Have you heard this story before?"
The boy shook his head, "Nope, but that was what my mum told my dad before she died to disease".
The teacher lamented, "The answer is right".
He wrote in his diary, "How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you, but for the sake of our daughter, I can only let you lie forever below the sea alone".
Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.
Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.
Those who apologizes first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.
Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.
Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.
One day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had. Days will pass by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare... One day our children will see our pictures and ask 'Who are these people?' And we will smile with invisible tears because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: 'IT WAS THEM THAT I HAD THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE WITH'.
As per these others, she need to learn some lessons hard way and as per my wisdom, she already has brought to me great lessons from LIFE ITSELF.
बहुत समय पहले की बात है , किसी गाँव में एक किसान रहता था . वह रोज़ भोर में उठकर दूर झरनों से स्वच्छ पानी लेने जाया करता था . इस काम के लिए वह अपने साथ दो बड़े घड़े ले जाता था , जिन्हें वो डंडे में बाँध कर अपने कंधे पर दोनों ओर लटका लेता था .
उनमे से एक घड़ा कहीं से फूटा हुआ था ,और दूसरा एक दम सही था . इस वजह से रोज़ घर पहुँचते -पहुचते किसान के पास डेढ़ घड़ा पानी ही बच पाता था .ऐसा दो सालों से चल रहा था .
"शायद आप नहीं जानते पर मैं एक जगह से फूटा हुआ हूँ , और पिछले दो सालों से मुझे जितना पानी घर पहुँचाना चाहिए था बस उसका आधा ही पहुंचा पाया हूँ , मेरे अन्दर ये बहुत बड़ी कमी है , और इस वजह से आपकी मेहनत बर्वाद होती रही है .", फूटे घड़े ने दुखी होते हुए कहा.
घड़े ने वैसा ही किया , वह रास्ते भर सुन्दर फूलों को देखता आया , ऐसा करने से उसकी उदासी कुछ दूर हुई पर घर पहुँचते – पहुँचते फिर उसके अन्दर से आधा पानी गिर चुका था, वो मायूस हो गया और किसान से क्षमा मांगने लगा .
सीख-दोस्तों हम सभी के अन्दर कोई ना कोई कमी होती है , पर यही कमियां हमें अनोखा बनाती हैं . उस किसान की तरह हमें भी हर किसी को वो जैसा है वैसे ही स्वीकारना चाहिए और उसकी अच्छाई की तरफ ध्यान देना चाहिए, और जब हम ऐसा करेंगे तब "फूटा घड़ा" भी "अच्छे घड़े" से मूल्यवान हो जायेगा.
thanks a lot Jujhar veer for the great story....!
My husband has a demanding job. He leaves the house early in the morning, before the kids are awake and will come back home a little before supper time.
One of my big worries when we decided to have kids was that I'd be a "married single parent." We discussed it and he promised to be there as much as possible and that I wouldn't feel alone. He followed through his promise, he spends 90% of his free time with us. I was still very worried because the kids only spend about 15 hours a week with him while they spend all their time with me (stay at home mom.) However, this week end my 3 year old just proved me otherwise.
My husband was telling him that he'd become a geologist because he loves rocks and I said "nah, he'll become an engineer because he loves to understand and solve things." My son replies to both of us "nope, I want to be a dad, just like daddy." My husband asks him "what does a daddy do?" He says "a daddy plays with his babies, picks them up, puts them on his shoulder, reads them good night stories and gives them hugs." Instant smile and tears on both of us.
It kind of made me realize that it's not the time spent with a person but the quality of the time you spend with that person. My son could have said he wanted to be an (insert job here) like his dad since he knows what his dad does but he choose to pick the "profession" he sees his dad do. I'm do proud of those two.
So in life, always give the best quality time to the person you're spending time with, those are the moment they remember.
Hope you take time to read this story 😃 ! Long but worth a read !
thnx ji....same here.Theres a lot of learning in it.
Father is flying a kite. His son is watching him carefully.
After some time son says " Dad, Because of the string the kite is not able to go any further higher. "
Hearing this, the father smiles and breaks the string.
The kite goes higher after breaking of the thread and then shortly after that it comes and falls on the ground.
The child is very dejected and sad.
" Son, in life we reach a certain level of prosperity and then we feel that there are certain things in our life that are not letting us grow any further like Home, Family, Culture Friendship etc. We feel we want to be free from those STRINGS which we believe are stopping us from going higher.
But, remember son. Going higher is easier than staying at the higher level.
And friends, family and culture etc are the things that will help us stay stable at the high heights that we have achieved. If we try to break away from those STRINGS our condition will be similar to that of kite."
" never go away from culture, family, friends and relationships as they help keep you stable while you are flying high."
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL ENJOY IT.
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 was the work condition. For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he supposed to work.The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees.
"Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!
"Very motivated by the boss words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring 15 trees.
The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring 10 trees.
Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen the "axe".
In today's world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy that ever.
Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay "sharp"?
👉taking time to read etc.
If we don't take the time to sharpen the "axe", we will become dull and lose our effectiveness.
There is a story of about a sea Captain who in his retirement skippered a boat taking day-trippers to Islands.
On one trip, the boat was full of young people. They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.
However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to roll & pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.
But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough I attend to my ship."
If we cannot seek God in quiet moments of our lives; we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic.
But if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him when the going gets rough!
