Be Grateful for what you have.
Once there was man named Anand. Who was very frustrated with his work. One evening Anand was home, watching television. He had a lot of work pressure of late and so he was always annoyed. Anand had a son, Kannan. He was a fourth grader. Kannan came to Anand while he was watching television and sought help with his homework. Anand scolded him and asked him to do it by himself. 
The boy went back to his room. After some time, Anand felt bad for his own actions. He felt, Kannan might have really needed his help. So he went to Kannan's room and found the boy already asleep next to his books. He took the book and read the paragraph written by Kannan. It was about how some things are disliked initially and later on liked deeply. 
Kannan had written :
‘Thank you very much for annual exams; we hate it but we love it because of the summer vacation that follows.
Thank you very much for all those tasteless, bitter medicines which we don't like at all, but kept us healthy.
Thank you very much for the alarm clock, we hate its sound but we love the fact that we wake up for the day.
Thank you very much God for giving me my dad in my life. I don't like him when he shouts at me but, I love him because he takes care of me, he keep me in comfort, he buy me dolls. I have a friend whose father is no more, so I am happy my father is with me.’
Anand read it and he became very emotional. He realized how ungrateful he is to all the good things in his life. Anand started to talk to himself:
‘Thank God for the house atleast I have one, although I have my monthly EMI I still have a roof above my head.
Thank God I have a family. Many live alone, with nobody to support them.
Thank god I have a job and the work pressure because many are jobless and homeless I still have a source of income.
Thank you god for giving me this life. I have a much better life than many, I live a life which is still a dream for many.’
We all have problems..but, we all have to be focused on the opportunities and not the problem. We must equip our minds with strength. Do things with all your heart and let the result of your actions make everyone follow you.
We should learn to acknowledge how lucky we are !!

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...

The helmet costs less than your life On a night Raj was sitting next to his mother and his mother was unable to sleep even at a late hour. Raj slowly asked her if she was in pain. Raj's mother didn't reply. Raj's mother was a very strong woman. She was always happy, she sang for herself while doing the house chores. Raj's mother was an expert in balancing things. His dad was sick, still his mother took care of everything happily. His father passed away and his mother was broken.
