This is the story of a king who was a fancier. He had great collections in his palace and took pride in them. One day another king from the neighboring kingdom gifted him a pair of rare breed of eaglets. The kind was very elated. He handed them over to a trainer and assigned him the taso know k to take care of the two eaglets well and to train them well. 
Soon after he totally forgot about them in his busy schedule until one day when he remembered and wanted to go check on them personally. He had his own expectations from them. He enquired the caretaker about them and he was very glad to know they had grown up well. He asked the trainer to signal the birds to fly. When he did to the kings dismay he saw one eaglet flying and soaring high while the other eaglet always flied to aand came back and flew back to a branch and perched there,
The king was very astonished at this. He asked the trainer how is it that being of the same breed and similar in everything this difference in flying is found to which the trainer had no answer.
The king then announced in his kingdom that anybody who flew the second eaglet to a great heights and helps him fly will be rewarded well.
Lot of people came and tried their hands but to no avail. On a fine day the king was told that the second eagle had started flying now. He was very happy to hear and asked the trainer how this happened to which he was told that a farmer had managed to do this
The king called on the farmer and showered him with gifts as promised. He asked him the secret to his success in getting the eagle to fly to which the farmer innocently replied " I am not an expert at anything or not that i know about birds much. I am a simple farmer. All i did was to cut off the branch of the tree on which the eagle used to perch n that forced him to get out of  his comfort zone and fly."
We are like this in our lives. Very often we are comfortable with things as is in our life and we are unwilling to take risk in life. Actually that small risk, that small risk, that small fly from comfort zone is all that is needed to take us soaring into success,

So lets check ourselves for our comfort zone status and work on it to get our true potential out .


Its comfortable to stay in a comfort zone but there will not be any growth in it.

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. As he neared the place, the begger recognized the employee with his foot steps and said  " I understand you are the one who cam...

World moves on without you: There lived a teacher in a small village. He had a wife, a son who was doing his higher studies and daughter who was ready to get married. He was living a contented life when a thought came to his mind that totally disturbed his peaceful existence.  He suddenly thought that he was the reason the whole family was happy. He felt that things wouldn’t be the same for them in his absence. This thought bred in him and over a few days turned into an ego in himself. One day when he was introspecting himself as a teacher he realized that he had become egoistic but it was already late as the ego had got the better of him already.

The yogi said that the world remains the same although many have come and left before this and continue to do so. After the talk, the teacher approached the yogi and confesses to him that hes already suffering w...
