Love, Knowledge and Time :: Very Sweet Story of Feelings

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived: happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.

Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, love decided it was time to leave.

She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"

Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."

Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."

"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."

Next, Love saw Sadness passing. Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."

Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry but I just need to be alone now."

Then, Love saw Happiness. love cried out, "Happiness, please take me with you." But Happiness was so over overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.

Love began to cry. Then she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name.

When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "who helped me?"

"It was Time", Knowledge answered.

"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

:: Moral of the Story ::

If you need Love, you first need knowledge and the art of implementing knowledge on time.

Knowledge is more superior to Love.

Without knowledge you never feel love.

At last best Knowledge saves Love on Time.

Full knowledge presupposes full love.

For better living or better life, You need good knowledge, pure love and right time.

Hold My Hand :: Short But Very Sweet Stroy



Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

:: Moral of the Story ::
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short... but carries a lot of Feelings

Consideration :: Thoughtfulness & Caring Attitude

One day, a ten-year-old boy went to an ice cream shop, sat at a table and asked the waitress, "How much is an ice-cream cone?"

She said, "seventy-five cents."

The boy started counting the coins he had in his hand. Then he asked how much a small cup of ice-cream was.

The waitress impatiently replied, "sixty five cents."

The boy said, "I will have the small ice-cream cup."

He had his ice-cream, paid the bill and left. When the waitress came to pick up the empty plate, she was touched. Underneath were ten cent coins as tip.

:: Moral of the Story ::
The little boy had consideration for the waitress before he ordered his ice-crearn. He showed sensitivity and caring. He thought of others before himself.

If we all thought like the little boy, we would have a great place to live.

Show consideration, courtesy, and politeness.

Thoughtfulness shows a caring attitude

Poor Or Rich :: Lovely Short Story

One day a father and his rich family took his son to a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"Very good Dad!" replied his son.

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yeah!"

"And what did you learn?"

The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon."
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

:: Moral of the Story ::

Our outlook on life depends on the way you look at things. What one may think as riches, others may want.

The most important things in life are your friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life. If you have these then you have everything.

Never Under Estimate Anyone :: Awesome Short Story

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his Customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."

The barber puts a five rupee coin in one hand and two one rupee coins (1+1=2) in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"

The boy takes the two one rupee coins and leaves.

"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.

"Hey, son! May I ask you a question?

Why did you take two one rupee coins instead of five rupee coin?"

The boy licked his cone and replied,

"BECAUSE THE DAY I TAKE THE FIVE RUPEE COIN, THE GAME IS OVER"

:: Moral of the Story ::

When you think the other person is dumb, you are making a fool of yourself

Today I Decided To Quit :: Lovely Conversation With GOD

Today I decided to quit...
.
.
.
I quit my job,
.
.
.
My Relationship,
.
.
.
My Spirituality...
.
.
.
I wanted to quit my life.
.
.
.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with GOD.
.
.
.
"GOD", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
.
.
.
His answer surprised me...



"Look around", GOD said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good careof them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." GOD said.

"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo see. I would not quit." GOD said.



"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Comparedto the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just six months later the bamboo rose toover 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what itneeded to survive. I would not give any of my creationsa challenge it could not handle." GOD said to me.

"Did you know, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others. " GOD said.

"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come." GOD said to me."You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" GOD asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned

"Yes." GOD said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and bring back this story.

I hope these words can help...
:: Moral of the Story ::

Keep Faith in your Heart... Never Give Up...

Some times... Some work need more time to achieve... Give time... Keep patience

Always concentrate on Goal... Never think about when you will achieve your goal. Just do your job.

Give your 100% efforts without any doubt.

Success is not a goal. You work for your goal not for success. Remember, Success is the fruit of your work done.

"Give And Only Give" :: Beautiful Short Story

This is a story of a little known, gentle, mystic figure, Durgacharan Naag was his name. Popularly known as Naag Mahashaya, he came under the influence of the great saint of modern India, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa, who so blessed him that he became a blessing to many!

Naag Mahashaya became the very picture of humility and selflessness, of self denial and self-abnegation. He wanted nothing for himself. He was poor in the wealth of the world, but never did any beggar return from his door empty handed.

One day, Naag Mahashaya had only a few grains of rice left. He had not eaten the whole day and he was getting ready to cook those few grains of rice, when a man came to his door for begging, "I have not had a morsel of food for the last two days, won’t you give me something to eat?"

Naag Mahashaya forgot that he was hungry, that he had starved the whole day.

He did not say to himself, "Let me share this rice with poor man. Let me give him half, and keep the half for myself."

Instead, in his benevolence, he gave away all he had, for in that beggar he beheld a living, moving image of his God-the God whom he worshipped in the shrine of the heart within. He parted with all that he had and rejoicing as he sang, "Not mine but Thine be the glory, O Lord! Blessed be Thy name!"
