So let me start with story!


Put the glass down today
Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.He held it up for all to see & asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?'
'50gms!'.... '100gms!' .....'125gms'.....the students answered.
'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor, 'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?''Nothing' the students said.

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.

'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'
'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!' ventured another student& all the students laughed.'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?' asked the professor.
'No'
'Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?' The students were puzzled.'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.'Exactly!' said the professor.' Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they Begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!'

Thats very nice Sajeetharan... :)

Let me share one here... :)

Loving Parents

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 year’s old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his Son, What is this?

The Son replied, it is a crow.

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, what is this??

The Son said Father; I have just now told you it’s a crow.

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,

What is this?

At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the Son’s tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. It’s a crow, a crow.

A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, what is this?

This time the Son shouted at his Father, ?Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times. IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this.

A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary.

Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child.

While the little child asked him 23 times. What is this, the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

So….
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word; be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today say this aloud, I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.
They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today?.

Say a prayer to God; I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave.


Hope you like it!!! :)

Good and inspiring stories, Deepti and Sajeetharan!!
Should the stories be what you have read or heard or self-experienced?? :blink: :dry: :huh:

The story i posted was one i read. here is another one!

A Mothers Love
A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years:
No Charge

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
No Charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".


Lessons: You will never how much your parents worth till you become a parent

Be a giver not an asker, especially with your parents. there is a lot to give, besides money.

Advice: IF your MOTHER is alive and close to you, give her a big kiss and ask her for forgiveness. If she is far away, call her. if she passed away, pray for her.
