KUTTY STORY 10


Put forth your best efforts in each of your work.
Once there was an elderly carpenter who worked for a million worth construction company. The carpenter had been working with the company for the past 40 years and he was an asset to them. One day, the carpenter let the boss know that he was looking to retiring, as he was getting old for the job. 
The owner, had always been very impressed by the carpenter's work and decided to part him with him a nice farewell. 
The boss then asked the carpenter to help him finish off a last project which estimated to around 2 months of work. The carpenter gave it a thought and agreed to his boss. 
The carpenter started his work but, this time, his work was not as perfect as is used to be. The carpenter was already in a mindset to retire and so failed to put forth his best efforts. The carpenter somehow finally finished the work assigned to him. 
He was very eager to meet his boss, to handover his assignment and get relieved from all his duties. 
When the boss arrived, the carpenter received him and opened the car door for him. The boss stepped out and even before going to the office, commended and thanked the carpenter and handed over to him a set of keys - The keys of the house the carpenter worked as his last project.
The boss gifted the house to the carpenter, as he was one the best among his employees and for his long tenure with the company. 
The carpenter was in total despair and he regretted the way he handled his work. The carpenter, now himself, evaluated the last work as his worst work. He realised had he put his best efforts and skills at work, he would have had an amazing house, with pride,  he could have lived the rest of his life with his family. But for now, he can only regret!!

Never leave any stone unturned in your work. Leave behind your signature in your style of work for others to see.

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.

Ritual Once a Sadhu finished meditation and got up to find a wounded kitten. As he was a very kind man, he took the kitten to his ashram and started taking care of it. The kitten eventually recovered and grew to be a pet to Sadhu. The kitten was a very naughty one, it always play around the sadhu.  The Sadhu began to get distracted from his meditation. So one day, the Sadhu asked one of his followers to tie the kitten to the tree in front of the ashram. The disciple did so without a question. In some time it became a practice that whenever the sadhu started to meditate, the kitten will be tied to the tree. After some time, the Sadhu passed away. The senior-most monk who now became the sadhu, continued to tie the kitten to the tree while he was meditating. The practice continued.
