KUTTY STORY 8




Winners and losers

Once there was a sage who was spending time with his disciples and as he was mentioning about his previous disciples, he said he had both winners and losers among his followers. 
One of his disciples seemed confused with this. How can the same Guru have both winners and losers among his followers. The saint explained himself with examples. He explained how a few didn't give any excuse for whatever conditions or circumstances they were going through.
 A blind who was never stopped by darkness, a deaf man with no regrets in not being able to hear, a boy who was born in a poor family but didn't sink into poverty, a man who lost all his wealth but not his hope, a boy who was dodged as he was considered being insane, was never held back coming up with flying colors. He said, you all know these individuals. 
The blind was none other than Erik Weihenmayer an American athlete, adventurer, author, activist and motivational speaker, was  the first person without eyes to reach the summit of Mount Everest back in 2001. Ludwig van Beethoven the German born was the deaf, the most admired composer in the history of Western music, his compositions were among the most performed in the classical repertoire of the time. He made a prominent name of his own as a composer and as a pianist before he passed away at the age of 56. Indian business tycoon who founded Reliance Industries none other than Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani was one who made his fortune out of scratch. The man who lost all his wealth with the collapse of ABC Ltd is Amitabh Bachchan who went bankrupt and came out of it to his present status. Last but not the least, the cracked child grew up to the world's most popular scientist of all times - Albert Einstein. The only thing that was common among all these personalities was : they never complained or made excuses of the challenges they faced.

Situations or circumstances have nothing to do with the outcome. The effort is the only thing that matters and it will bring glorious results.

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...

KUTTY STORY 1

STORY.1 It is not necessary that time favours you every time. Sometimes, it teaches a lesson : How to lead a disciplined life through difficulties Once there were two youngsters, one had an office job and the other, being blind, used to beg on the pavement of the office complex where the other worked.  The employee was never appreciated by anyone in his office and so he was demotivated. He had a tough time at his work place. Everyday, the employee on his way to and from his office, watched the blind beggar. One day he saw the begger with a note saying 'I am Blind'. The employee walked up to the begger and made a small change in the note and carried on with his day.  At the end of the day, on his way back from office the employee  was curious to know if his small change in the note made any difference to the beggar.

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 ...
