Gratitude is important
Once there was a rich lady who sought assistance from a therapistas she was very disappointed with her life. The therapist looked at the lady and found her well-dressed and well-groomed, it didnt seem like she was having any dearth. The therapist asked the lady to explain.
The lady said she had everything but peace of mind. Although she had everything many aspire and dream about, she couldn't find a reason to be happy and satisfied with her life. She wanted to kill herself. The therapist asked the lady to relax in the first place and called on to a housekeeping lady staff who was cleaning the hospital corridor. The housekeeping lady stepped in to the consulting room. The therapist asked her to speak about herself. 
The housekeeping lady had lost her husband due to Malaria three months back and she lost her only son in a road accident. She was devastated she wanted to end her life. For months, she didn't feel like speaking to anyone, eating anything or doing anything. She further explained “sometime back when I was walking home, a small kitten followed me home. It was a cold night and it was drizzling too. The kitten was so young and weak, I shared my shelter with it and I gave it some warm milk. The kitten quickly drank it, upon watching the kitten, I felt happy and I poured some more milk which it drank it too. The kitten came around and started to lick and cuddle my feet. I felt more happiness watching the kittens actions. After a long time the kitten was able to bring a smile on my face. Now that's when I realized if I can favor someone with a small gesture of kindness, if my actions will bring some happiness to anybody's life, I can be happy about that. Next day I packed some food for my sick elderly neighbor and I served him the same. He was so happy. It was after that I joined this hospital. I help as many people as I can and I stay happy with that. It is important to realise how much happiness you can bring to others with your small actions and gestures. We all lose our happiness because we constantly think of how much happiness we have received. There is no match for the happiness I saw on the face of the starving kitten and the way it showed its gratitude, the face of the man when he got some food, there is no definition to any of it they are all deeply beautiful and it gave me a lot of happiness.”
This incident brought light to the rich woman and she went home with deep realization and satisfaction.
Smile is contagious. Any professional should start his / her day with a smile on the face which will eventually make others associated with him / her also smile. Your smile can change the very atmosphere you are in. A smile is the key to stay happy, positive and it will take away our stress. Give your best to keep up your smile, spread joy and happiness and stay happy.

The saying is very true a taker may eat well but a giver will sleep well for sure

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...
