The three mentors

On a bright sunny day, on the eve of a special occasion, a successful businessman was delivering a speech and he happened to share insights from his life. The businessman was asked about the mantra of his success to which the gentleman replied that he had 3 mentors in his life, who played major part in his success today.
Once he failed in his business and he wanted to give up on everything and just walk away. He left his place for good, he couldn't manage to find a place to sleep even after it was late evening.  On his aimless stroll, he came across a man standing near a house and sought his help. The man told him that he was a thief trying to get away with something and there wasnt anything he could do to help the businessman. The businessman was himself in a pitiable condition and so requested the thief to help him. 
Although a thief, being a good man at heart he couldn't ignore the  businessman and so took him to his home and sheltered him for a night. The businessman was comfortable and ended up staying with the thief not for just one night, but for a fortnight.
Every night, the thief used to motivate the businessman that everything will be fine, to stay positive and sleep well. Slowly, but surely the businessman realized he should restore his faith and confidence in himself. He thanked the thief before he left with belief and hope. 
Then the second mentor the businessman referred to was a dog. Once he happened to watch a dog wanted to drink water but he could get the water only if he got into the water. For some reason, he saw the  dog go near water and again run away from it. The dog was scared to step into the water. But, when he returned after sometime, he saw, the dog had finally jumped to get what he wanted. This made him realise that he should put aside his fears and get out of his comfort-zone to achieve something.
The third mentor was a kid whom the businessman had met randomly. Once, he saw a cute kid standing with a lighted candle in his hand. On a funny note, the man asked the kid "Where did the light in the candle come fromis the light coming from in the candle?" The quick-witted kid without wasting any time, just blew off the candle and questioned the man "Now where did the light go?"      The man realized he should not underestimate anyone. 
These three leassons had proved to be a great guiding light in making some important decisions of life.

Learn without prejudice; anybody can teach us worthy lessons,  provided we are ready to accept the knowledge.

2.     Mother's Love It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.  The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.  The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held h...

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...
