Worries end where faith begins

A very poor woman with a small family called-in to a radio station asking for help from God.

A non-believer man who was also listening to this radio program decided to make fun of the woman.

He got her address, called his secretary and ordered her to buy a large amount of foodstuffs and take to the woman.

However, he sent it with the following instruction: "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that its from the devil.''

When the secretary arrived at the woman's house, the woman was so happy and grateful for the help that had been received. She started putting the food inside her small house.

The Secretary then asked her, ''Don't you want to know who sent the food?''

The woman replied, ''No, Say thanks to whomever sent ths! I don't care who the person is because when GOD orders, even the devil obeys!

WORRIES END

FAITH BEGINS..

Corporate story

A Corporate Story:

      Every day, a small Ant arrives  at work very early and starts work immediately.
   
   She produces  a lot and she was happy.

     The Chief,  a Tiger, was surprised  to see that the Ant was working without supervision.
 
      He thought if the  Ant can produce so  much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce even more if she had a supervisor!

      So he recruited a  Bee who had extensive experience as  supervisor and who was  famous for  writing  excellent reports.

     The  Bee’s first decision was to set up a  clocking in attendance system.
  
      He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and he  recruited a Rabbit , who managed the archives and monitored  all phone calls.

      The Tiger was delighted with the  Bee's reports and asked him to produce graphs  to describe production rates and to analyse   trends, so that he could use them for  presentations at Board‘s meetings.

     So the Bee had to buy a  new computer and a  Laser printer and recruited a  Cat to manage the  IT department.

      The Ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork  and meetings which used up most of her time…!

   The Tiger came to the conclusion that it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the  Ant worked.

     The position was given to the  Monkey, whose first decision was to buy an Air Conditioner and an ergonomic  chair for his office.
  
     The new person in charge,  the Monkey, also needed a  computer and a personal assistant , who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a  Work and  'Budget Control Strategic Optimisation Plan' …

     The Department where the Ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore  and everybody has become upset...

     It was at that time that the Bee convinced the boss,  the Tiger; of the absolute necessity  to start a climatic study of the environment .

      Having reviewed  the  charges  for running the  Ant’s department , the  Tiger  found out that  the Production   was much less than  before.

     So he recruited the  Owl, a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an  audit and  suggest solutions.

      The Owl spent three months  in the department and came up with an enormous report, in several volumes, that concluded...
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .
       “ The Department is overstaffed ...”
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .

   Guess who the Tiger fires first?
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .

          Of course, the Ant.........,

         "....because she showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude. "

         "The Characters in this story  are fictitious; any resemblance to real people or  facts within the Corporate is pure coincidence only…"

Power of faith

Arun Shekar, A business man was late for his flight. He reached the boarding gate just before it closed. Sweating and out of breath, he scanned his boarding pass at the counter and quickly made his way to the plane.

Arriving at his seat, he greeted his companions for the next few hours: a middle-aged woman sitting at the window, and a little girl sitting on the aisle seat. After stowing his bag above, he took his place between them.

After the flight took off, he began a conversation with the little girl. She appeared to be about the same age as his daughter and was busy with her coloring book. He asked her a few usual questions, such as her age (eight), her hobbies (cartoons and drawing), as well as her favorite animal (horses are pretty, but she just loved cats). He found it strange that such a young girl would be traveling alone, but he kept his thoughts to himself and decided to keep an eye on her to make sure she was okay.

About an hour into the flight, the plane suddenly began experiencing extreme turbulence. The pilot came over the PA system and told everyone to fasten their seat belts and remain calm, as they had encountered rough weather.

Several times over the next half hour the plane made drastic dips and turns, shaking all the while. Some people began crying, and many―like the woman in the window seat―were praying intently. The man was sweating and clenching his seat as tightly as he could, and exclaim “Oh my God!” with each increasingly violent shake of the plane.

Meanwhile, the little girl was sitting quietly beside him in her seat. Her coloring book and crayons were put away neatly in the seat pocket in front of her, and her hands were calmly resting on her legs. Incredibly, she didn't seem worried all.

Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the turbulence ended. The pilot came on a few minutes later to apologize for the bumpy ride and to announce that they would be landing soon. As the plane began its descent, the man said to the little girl, “You are just a little girl, but I have never met a braver person in all my life! Tell me, dear, how is it that you remained so calm while all of us adults were so afraid?”

Looking him in the eyes, she said, “My father is the pilot, and he's taking me home."

Interpretation of this story:

If we recognise the power of faith, we won't look for miracles.

May this beautiful story inspire us and brighten our path!

Push it over the cliff

Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived a Chinese wise man and his disciple. One day in their travels, they saw a hut in the distance. As they approached they realized that it was occupied in spite of its extremely poor appearance.
In that desolate place where there were no crops and no trees,
a man lived with his wife, three young children and a thin, tired cow. Since they were hungry and thirsty, the wise man and his disciple stopped for a few hours and were well received. At one point, the wise man asked:
“This is a very poor place, far away from anything. How do you
survive?”
“You see that cow? That’s what keeps us going,” said the head
of the family. “She gives us milk, some of it we drink and some were make into cheese. When there is extra, we go into the city and exchange the milk and cheese for other types of food.
That’s how we survive.”
The wise man thanked them for their hospitality and left. When he reached the first bend in the road, he said to his disciple:
“Go back, get the cow, take her to the cliff in front of us, and push her off.”
The disciple could not believe what he was hearing.
“I cannot do that, master! How can you be so ungrateful? The
cow is all they have. If I throw it on the cliff, they’ll have no way to survive. Without the cow, they’ll all die!”
The wise man, an elderly Chinese man, took a deep breath
and repeated the order: “Go ahead. Push the cow off the cliff.” Though outraged at what he was being asked to do, the student was resigned to obey his master.
He returned to the hut and quietly led the animal to the edge
of the cliff and pushed. The cow fell down the cliff and died.
As years passed, remorse for what he had done never left the disciple. One spring day, the guilt became too much to bear and he left the wise man and returned to that little shack. He wanted to find out what had happened to that family, to help them out, apologize, or somehow make amends.
Upon rounding a turn in the road, he could not believe what his eyes were showing him. In place of the poor shack there was a beautiful house with trees all
around, a swimming pool, several cars in the garage, a satellite dish, and on and on. Three
good-looking teenagers and their parents were celebrating their first million dollars.
The heart of the disciple froze. What could have happened to the family? Without a doubt, they must have been starving to death and forced to sell their land and leave. At that moment, the student thought they must all be begging on the street corners of some city. He approached the
house and asked a man that was passing by about the whereabouts of the family that had lived
there several years ago.
“You’re looking at it,” said the man, pointing to the people gathered around the barbecue.
Unable to believe what he heard, the disciple walked through the gate and took a few steps
closer to the pool where he recognized the man from the past, only now he was strong and confident, the woman was happy, and the children were now nice-looking teenagers.
He was dumbfounded, and went over to the man and asked:
“What happened? I was here with my teacher a few years ago and this was a miserable place.
There was nothing. What did you do to improve your lives in
such a short time?”
The man looked at the disciple, and replied with a smile:
“We had a cow that kept us alive. She was all we had. But one
day she fell down the cliff and died. To survive, we had to start doing other things, develop skills we didn’t know we had.
And so, because we were forced to come up with new ways of
doing things, we are now much better off than before.”

Moral of the story:

Sometimes our attachments can be the biggest obstacle to our growth. Perhaps the best thing that could happen is to push your “cow” down the cliff.

Is there a cow ( idea, mental block or mind set ) in your life that is keeping you miserable?
........ Then now is the time to push it over the cliff.

Kids are important than your smartphone

A teacher after the dinner she started checking homework done by the students. Her husband is strolling around with a smart phone playing his favourite game ‘Candy Crush Saga’.

When reading the last note, the wife starts crying with silent tears.

Her husband saw this and asked, ‘Why are you crying dear? What happened?’

Wife: ‘Yesterday I gave homework to my 1st Standard students, to write something on topic -My Wish-.’

Husband: ‘OK, but why are you crying?’

Wife: ‘Today while checking the last note, it makes me crying.’

Husband curiously: ‘What’s written in the note that makes you crying?’

Wife: ‘Listen’

My wish is to become a smart phone.

My parents love smart phone very much.

They care smart phone so much that sometimes they forget to care me.

When my father comes from office tired, he has time for smart phone but not for me.

When my parents are doing some important work and smart phone is ringing, within single ring they attend the phone, but not me even...

even if I am crying.

They play games on their smart phones not with me.

When they are talking to someone on their smart phone, they never listen to me even if I am telling something important.

So, My wish is to become a smart phone.

After listening the note husband got emotional and asked the wife, ‘who wrote this?’.

Wife: ‘Our son’.

Gadgets are beneficial, but they are for our ease not to cease the love amongst family and loved ones.

Children see and feel everything what happens with & around them. Things get imprinted on their mind with an everlasting effect. Let’s take due care, so that they do not grow with any false impressions.
