  In the middle of difficulty lies the opportunity Once upon a time, there was a wealthy and curious king. This king decided to place a massive boulder in the middle of a busy road. Then, he hid nearby to observe if anyone would attempt to remove the gigantic obstacle. The first to pass by were some of the king’s richest merchants and courtiers. Instead of trying to move the boulder, they simply walked around it. A few even complained loudly, blaming the king for not keeping the roads clear. Yet not even one of them tried to shift the stone. Finally, a humble peasant came along, his arms laden with vegetables. When he reached the boulder, instead of simply walking around it as the others had, he put down his load and began to push the stone aside. It took all his strength, but after much effort, he finally succeeded. As the peasant gathered up his belongings and prepared to continue his journey, he noticed a purse lying where the boulder had been. Curious, he picked it up and opene...

                                                   The tale of perspective  Once in a kingdom, a king had a large fruit garden in his palace where various types of fruits were grown. A farmer and his family used to take care of the entire garden.   The farmer would pick fresh fruits from the garden to bring them to the king’s palace every day. One day, the farmer noticed that the coconuts, guavas, plums, and grapes were ripe and ready to eat.

So, he filled a basket with grapes and set out to deliver them.   When the farmer arrived at the palace, he saw that the king appeared to be lost in thought and seemed angry. Sensing the mood, the farmer placed the basket of sweet, juicy grapes in fro...

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion. Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"​ The lion replied: "True, the grass is blue"​. The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him"​. The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence"​. The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue"​.. The tiger...

  Believe : Who am I? Once, a beggar while begging in a train, noticed a well-dressed businessman wearing a suit and boots. He thought that this man must be very rich, so he will surely give good money if I ask him. So he went and asked that man for alms. The man looked at the beggar and said, "You always beg and keep asking from people, do you ever give anything to anyone?" The beggar said, "Sir, I am a beggar, I can only keep asking people for money. How will I be able to give anything to anyone?" The man replied, "When you can't give anything to anyone, then you don’t have any right to ask as well. I am a businessman and believe in transactions only - if you have something to give me, then I can also give you something in return.” Just then, the train arrived at a station, and the businessman got down and left. The beggar started thinking about what the man had said. His words somehow reached the beggar’s heart. He started thinking that maybe I do not ge...

  Know your worth  A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20. In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill? Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air. “Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.   “My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many a times, in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.   Sometimes, we may feel as though we are worthless. But no...
