Dear Sir,

The secret of getting ahead is getting started

Once there was a big corporate company in Delhi by NCR. There was a dhaba across the road, run by a man named Raju. The dhaba served very tasty food. There was a manager in a nearby corporate company whose name was Krishnan. Krishnan decided to have his lunch from the dhaba. He wanted to have the signature dish served in the dhaba. Krishna and Raju knew each other for a very long time. Krishnan used to work for another company in the past still he paid random visits to Raju's dhaba since then, so they knew each other well. 

While Krishnan was having his meal, he said to Raju that he is doing quite good with his business and Krishnan congratulated Raju for his hardwork and the way he manages the things. Krishnan was really impressed with the progress Raju made in his business. Finally, Krishnan added that Raju is wasting his management skills, if Raju could have invested his efforts in a company Raju can be a manager like him. Krishnan's intentions were so good. Raju replied, you may be right but I must say when you started your salary was 10000 rupees. If I look back I started with food on wheels and barely made 1000 rupees per month, I had no capital and now I have a restaurant of my own. I am sure in these 10 years your journey would have been really well and you will be earning in lakhs I agree to it. You work for someone else and earn it and on the other hand I work for myself and earn 3 lakhs per month. I do everything for myself and I am earning much better considering where I started. Krishnan after listening to Raju he started to rethink. Raju continued and said the effort I invested here is for my children's future. I don't want my kids to grow up and start where I began. I want them to have a better start when they think of a career. In the future my kids will take over the business as restaurant owners,  while your kids have to start from where you have started. Your company's owners' will have kids and they will take over and become your boss. They will start working as employees and my kids, at the same time they are owners. Now think, who is wasting their time in their life.

We should foresee the future and invest our time and effort

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. At around the same time, a yogi arrived in the village and coincidentally he was speaking about controlling ones egos and vices. 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...

He had prepared well and he was excited to share the information he had collected and prepared. The doctor reached the airport and he had done the check-in. He was all the way excited to make his way to Mumbai to attend to the conference.

Another gentleman at the airport who happened to be a co-passenger recognized him and walked up to the doctor and identified him as Dr. Patnaik and told him that he was also supposed to atten...

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. Every sadhu followed the ritual of tying the kitten to the tree when they meditated. After sometime the cat died.. The whole ashram was under chaos, thinking and brought a new cat to the ashram to ...
