Think big

Once there was a family with 4 children. The parents eventually grew old and the mother passed away and the father was almost in his deathbed. The father called on his children and the four brothers came to their father. The father wanted to tell them something but, he was too old and he couldn't speak. So he wrote something on a paper with a lot of struggle. The father wrote ‘Mango’. His sons understood the message as his craving for mangoes. The father died in sometime. 
The brothers did their best and even gave out boxes of mangoes to the people who attended the after funeral to honor their father. 
After some years they decided to sell their house. They find themselves with a good deal with a builder and sell off their land. The builder started cutting down trees and digging the ground for construction. Likewise, the workers cut down the mango tree and started digging. They found a treasure chest filled with so many valuables. 
The builder became so happy. The builder got at least 100 times more than what he spent. The sons came to know about it and then they realized what their father was trying to communicate. They asked the builder for the fortune but the builder denied. They filed a case and the end result was in favor of the builder. 
The brothers never knew about the treasure. It was something they always ignored or in a way they never expected such a treasure to be there.


Our potential is our biggest treasure; many a times we fail to recognize and acknowledge 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...

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 ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
