Inspirational story-3

Wealth, Success and Love

A man came home from work to find three old men sitting outside his house. Because they looked tired and hungry, he invited them in.

“We do not accept joint invitations,” they replied.

“Why is that?” he asked. One of the men explained: “I am Wealth, my friend here is Success and the other one is Love. Now which of us will you let in?”

The man went in and asked his wife what to do. “Let’s have Wealth in, “she cried. “No,” said his daughter, “let’s have Success.” His mother was in the house and said: “Would it not be better to invite Love in and then your home will be filled with happiness?”

The man decided to heed his mother’s advice and invited Love in. Love got up and walked in and was followed by the others.

Surprised, the man asked: “I only invited Love in. Why are you coming in as well?” The old men replied: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.”

Inspirational story-2

How Poor Are We Really

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how the poor people live so he could be thankful for his wealth. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “It was great, Dad.” “Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked. “Oh yeah” said the son. “So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.”

“We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.”

“Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.” “We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.” “We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.” “We buy our food, but they grow theirs.” “We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

With this the boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Inspirational story-1

The Horseman

It was a bitter, cold evening. The old man’s beard was glazed by winter’s frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind. He heard the faint, steady rhythm of approaching hooves galloping along the frozen path.

Anxiously, he watched as several horsemen rounded the bend. He let the first one pass by without an effort to get his attention. Then another passed by… and another. Finally, the last rider neared the spot where the old man sat like a snow statue.

As this one drew near, the old man caught the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side? There doesn’t appear to be a passageway by foot.”

Reining his horse, the rider replied, “Sure thing. Hop aboard.”

Seeing the old man was unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man onto the horse. The horseman took the old man not just across the river, but to his destination, which was just a few miles away.

As they neared the tiny but cosy cottage, the horseman’s curiosity caused him to inquire, “Sir, I notice that you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. I’m curious why, on such a bitter winter night; you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I had refused and left you there?”

The old man lowered himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, “I’ve been around here for some time. I reckon I know people pretty good.”

The old-timer continued, “I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were evident. I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.”

Those heartwarming comments touched the horseman deeply. “I’m most grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”

Innocence at its best

Everybody wants to be a child again. The lost innocence haunts a matured practical man. Let a child in u enliven.

Salute to all parents. We love you all.

 

Here is an inspirational story.We have sometimes have complaints against elders/parents. As a child we irritate them but when it comes to us we get angry. Lets understand them, their feelings. Do take care of your parents.

Dose of inspiration

 

Dear Friends,

We do complain a lot about our comforts. Look at this man who has been a legend for those who are handicapped. He goes around the world to motivate people. Lets at least learn something and stop grumbles on petty discomforts. Live life to the fullest.
