Why should we need to work hard

This is the story of the Grasshopper and the Ant. Once upon a time on a beautiful summer day a Grasshopper was hoping around lazily in the grass. He feels good about himself. He was healthy, well-fed and he was chirping and singing because his life was good. While the Grasshopper was enjoying the day and an Ant was carrying grains and taking them to the nest with great toil. On seeing the hard-working Ant passing by the Grasshopper invited him to join him and share his fun. But the Ant politely declined and went on with his work. All day long, during the whole summer the Ants would work hard collecting food while the Grasshopper enjoyed the bright summer days. The Grasshopper would look at the Ants and laugh.

 

Why do you work so hard dear Ant he would say come rest for a while, listen to my song, summer is here, and the days are long and bright. Why waste the sunshine in labor and toil? ‘I am helping to lay up food for the winter’ said the Ant and recommend you to do the same. ‘Why bother about winter’ said the Grasshopper, we have got plenty of food at present and there is still plenty of time to prepare for winter. But the Ant knew what he was doing and went on his way and continued his toil. All day long the Ant will work without stop or rest scurrying back and forth from the field collecting the grains and storing them carefully in his Larder. Instead of working and preparing for winter the Grasshopper preferred to dance sing and play at his leisure. He did not realize that the wonderful summer days will not last forever and soon cold and rainy days would be near and so summer faded into autumn and autumn turned into winter. The sun was hardly seen, the days got shorter and nights got longer. It became freezing cold and snow began to fall. When the cold winter came the Grasshopper realized that the Ant had been right and he should have been prepared.

 

Now, the Grasshopper didn't feel like singing anymore. He should not have wasted all this time when food was plentiful. He was cold and hungry. He hadn't thought that this winter might be worse than usual. And because he hadn't stored food for himself or helped anyone else to do it. He would not live to see another summer. He had nowhere to shelter from the snow no one would help him and so he found himself dying of hunger. While he saw the Ant enjoying the food stored and collected in the summer.

 

You see in life in your life work hard today and you can reap the benefits tomorrow. Enjoy life, but also dedicate a third of your day to learning, working or preparing for the winter. Make a plan, visualize what you want to achieve and start working towards it. If you don't know how to start just start you'll figure it out in no time. The beginning is always the hardest. Also as soon as you become a bit successful with what you do, don't stop the hard work and keep on going that way your success will grow exponentially.

What is the real purpose of Life?

The years passed and with time faded the Youth of the wise man as he Grew Older he began to worry about his son's future. He recognized that he had to give his son something so that he could take care of himself and his family in the future.  So one day the wise man called his son to his room and said my son you are no more a kid and now, you must learn to take responsibilities and understand life.

What is your real worth? Know your self-worth

I want to share a very important story with you. It's a story about a father who was in the deathbed before he died that father said to his son “Here is a watch your grandfather gave me. It's almost 200 years old before I give it to you, go to the jewelry store in the city and tell them that I want to sell it and see how much they offer. The son went to the jewelry store came back to his father and said they offered $100 because it is so sold. The father said try with the Pawn shop the son went to the Pawn shop came back to his father and said they offered only $20 because it has a scratch. The father asked his son to go to the museum and show them the watch; the son quietly questioned his father's judgment, but still willing to act on his father's last wishes. He went to the museum and when he came back, he said to his father the curator offered $375,000 for this rare piece to be included in the precious antique collection.   The father respondent: I wanted to show

What helps to understand Love?

 This story tells you what is need to understand Love. On this Earth a long long time ago before humans were on this planet even before Dinosaurs were on this planet, by that time only feelings inhabited the Earth. There was an island where all the feelings lived Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island was going to sink. It was inevitable the island would sink into the deep vast ocean. So they all needed to get off the island as soon as possible. So all the feelings prepared boats and left into the open Sea to see what would happen. Love was the only one who stayed on the island. Love wanted to stay on the island until it started to sink and when Love was almost sinking it decided to ask for help.  Wealth was passing by love in a beautiful boat and love asked ‘Wealth! Can you take me with you? Wealth answered No, I can't, there are lot of gold and silver in my boat'. There is no place here for

Break your Limits

 This is the story about the elephant and the Rope. Once upon a time there was a tourist who was traveling through Thailand. He was passing by some elephants and he suddenly stopped because he was confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. There were no chains or no cages and it was obvious that the elephants could at any time break away from their bonds, but for some reason they did not.  The tourist saw a trainer nearby and asked him why these animals stood there and made no attempts to get away. Well, the trainer said when they were very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age it's enough to hold them. As they grow up they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the Rope can still hold them. So they never try to break free. The tourist was amazed. These animals could have any time break free from their bonds, but because they believe that they couldn'

Change your problems into Success

  “What is the difference between the winner and loser The loser loses 4 times and gives up The winner also loses 11 times but succeeded in the 12 th time To succeed in life you have to learn to handle failure   You have to learn to handle problem”     Is there anybody here who doesn't have problems? Of course not, what we need to learn most important in life is your attitude towards problems. So the first thing then is to expect problems. As Murphy’s law states if anything can go wrong, it will. Many people when they have a problem in their work they said “Ohh God I have got a problem”. However the only way you can justify your job is that there are problems which you are solving ,if there were no problems that you cannot justify why you’re getting paid. So expect problem just like when you are going uphill your climbing a hill you know the going will be tough. So how do you know that you are progressing the sign is there are problems which they are arising. And if n

Weaknesses is also a Strength

 Once upon a time there was a young woman who lived on top of the hill. Every day she had to walk down the hill to collect water from a river. She had two pots to carry water which she hung upon a pole so she could carry it over her shoulders and it went on. Later on one-day one of her pots got a small crack along inside.  She observed the crack on the pot and decided she could still use it. So every day the woman carried those two parts down the hill to the river she filled them  and walked back up the hill balancing the pole across her shoulders. And by the time she reached the house the crackpot would be only half full while the other pot would be full to the top and the crackpot would glance at the other pot which the water was still filled to the top and the crackpot began to feel worthless.  The fully filled pot was proud of its accomplishment while the crackpot felt ashamed that he wasn't able to accomplish the same amount of water as the other part did. So the years went by
