Nice Life Lesson

Dear Friends Enjoy reading this beautiful story A student was one day taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work. The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them." "My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor.  But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of the poor man.  Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him." The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where ...

Everyone is Precious and Valuable

Dear friends Pleasant Evening My mother used to cook beans, but before she cooked the beans, she picked the bad and dirty beans and threw them at our backyard and only cooked the good beans. But when the rain came, the dirty and bad beans became seed and grew up and  looked beautiful. Interestingly, that same person who threw them away started  harvesting them; and she started to see that the beans she threw away some time ago  had value.  ​Now let me tell you​, 1. Don't cry when people throw you at the backyard. 2. Don't cry when they reject you. 3. Don't cry while they are looking down at you. 4. Some may see you as a burden. 5. Some may say you are too dull. 6. Some may say it was because of your past mistakes. Don't worry. The rain is coming and the same people who are rejecting you will invite you. God loves even those that are left out and looked down upon. God will bless you, just stay connected to Him and everyone will see how valuable you are. Un...

A True Story

Here’s an interesting read to the end....... Kindness is the rent you are paying for occupying the space on this planet  Once a TTE (Train Ticket Examiner) who was  on duty on a Bangalore bound train from Mumbai caught a girl who was hiding under a seat. She was around 13 or 14 years old.  The TTE asked the girl to produce her ticket. The girl hesitantly replied that she had no ticket.   The TTE told the girl to get off the train immediately. Suddenly, a voice from behind said "I will pay for her".  That was the voice of Mrs. Usha Bhattacharya, who was a college lecturer  by profession. Mrs. Bhattacharya paid  for the girl's ticket and requested her to sit near her.she asked her what her name was. "Chitra",  the  girl replied. "Where you are going?" "I have nowhere to go." the girl said..  "Then come with me."  Mrs. Bhattacharya told her.  After reaching Bangalore, Mrs. Bhattacharya handed over the girl to an N...
