Ask when you need a helping hand

Once there was a father and son. They were having a good time in the backyard playing and tugging at each other when the father quickly came up with an idea. He wanted the son to help him with gardening. Both the father and the son moved their hands quickly and planted a few plants. Then the father felt his son might not be learning enough, and so he showed the boy a corner of the yard and asked him to clean the area and make it ready to plant a few nice flowering plants. 
The boy went there to find big stones which had to be removed. The boy tried, but he couldn't move the stones. He returned to the father and said he couldn't do it. The father said "Do your best and you can do it."
 The boy went back to the stone and he tried harder but still he couldn't do it. He came back to his dad with a sad face. The father said "Try all your tricks and take it up as a challenge and try again." The boy went back to the stone and then he started to cry and roll down on the ground. The father rushed to the boy and asked him if he was hurt. The boy was annoyed. He said " You purposefully asked me to get this done which i cannot do. " 
The father held the boy in his arms and said " There was one thing you could have done. I told you to use all your tricks and get it done. You could have asked for my help. "
The father wanted the boy to learn the importance of realizing that his father will be around for him at the time of his need. The dad would have definitely helped him and the boy could have finished the work but he was thinking only about what he can do. At times we should go ahead and seek help, not everyone can do everything all by themselves.

Our parents always do so much for us unconditionally. We must learn to let go of our pride and ask for help when needed.

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 ...

Proud to be an Indian Once two gentlemen were traveling by train. One was Paras, a project head in IT. Paras was not quite happy with the train travel. The other person next to him was a well- built gentleman. Paras was keenly observed by his co-passenger. He was killing time by skimming through some contents on his laptop. The other gentleman enquired if Paras was an IT professional, to which he accepted. The other person praised Paras for being an IT professional for being part of great revenue generation for the country. Paras felt proud about his profession but still remained guarded. The other gentleman asked some  more questions about Paras' profession. Paras told him that he started as a low level associate and he used to do complex coding now, he has been promoted and now he has to get the work done. The other gentleman commented  “now things would be more easy for you.”  Paras said  “it is not like that. Meeting the deadlines, getting the work done withi...
