Don't Leave Today's Work on Tomorrow

 "Don,t leave today's work on tomorrow". if we don't follow this proverb then there will be work piling upon us and it will become a burden, not easy to be disposed of. We can understand it by an example given in the succeeding paragraph.

 Once upon a time, there were a number of ants walking through the forest. They were roaming around

Don,t leave today's work on tomorrow

in search of food. Ants are always known for their hard work and commitment. The ants were working hard according to their nature. Suddenly, they heard a disturbing sound of a song, such a sound was of a grasshopper. The ants searched for the grasshopper and at last, found him hidden under a plant's leaves. One of the ants asked the grasshopper, "why you are wasting your time in singing s song only, rather you should work hard for a collection of food for winter as winter is about to set in". The grasshopper replied, "I will collect food in winters, you don't worry. Let me sing a song now and enjoy my life".

After some months when the winter started, the ants had sufficient storage of food with them and they had not had to work hard now for their food. They used to remain inside their shelter to enjoy their food without putting them exposed to a cold environment. On the other side, the grasshopper has nothing to eat as many plants has dropped their leaves due to winter and there was nothing for the grasshopper to eat. He had wasted his time in summer by singing songs and never stored food for his bad days. He was very hungry and it was difficult to move around in search of food due to winter. Suddenly, he thought about ants, which have met him a few months ago, collecting food for winter. He thought that ants will have sufficient food to feed him. So he went to the shelter of ants and asked them to help him. 

The ants gave food to the grasshopper and reminded him of the advice of one of their fellow ant, which she gave to the grasshopper in summer. The grasshopper was very ashamed and realized that he should not have put off his today's task to tomorrow.  it in winter and he rejected the advice of the ant. when winter came, the grasshopper didn't have any food to eat and it was so hard for him to search for food. Then he went to the ant and said her to help him. The ant told him not to leave his work until tomorrow.

Why Hard work is Always Better than Begging

 Hard work is the key to success. nothing in this world is impossible for a person who targets to achieve with commitment and hard work. If we give a fried fish to a person without any of his efforts, then he will become habitual of doing nothing and aging the benefit without hard work, but if we teach him how to catch a fish, and use it as his food, then he will be more benefitted and will never try to beg in front of anyone. We can justify this statement by the following story. There was a school in a village, where children of mostly poor communities were getting their education. No uniform code was there in this school and students used to come in any of their available dresses. Education standards were reasonable but the teachers of this school were very much committed to their job in grooming their students, especially with respect to general ethics. The poor people were earning their livings hardly but were committed to educating the next generation for a better future. One ...

Why Human is Ignorant of Basic Ethics

Humans are living creatures that are not only made of flesh and blood but have some feelings and thoughts, and are to follow certain rules and ethics. But they are running behind wealth, and fame and exhibit a materialistic approach, violating the basics, for which they are in this world. Loyalty is one of these basic values which humans are to adopt. If humans look at the loyalty and sincerity of an animal, like a dog, they will get ashamed of themselves. Such an example is given in the following paragraphs. Once upon there was a family of Bedouin, who were having a herd of sheep. This family used to travel far away in search of food for their sheep, keeping in view the weather changes. During winter this family always preferred to move to the plain and in summer towards the hilly areas. This family had a dog of a good breed which always moved with the herd of sheep for security purposes. This dog had a special affiliation with the Bedouin family and the sheep. It was winter season ...

Why Hard Work along with Genius is Key to Success

It is said that “Hard work without genius is more than genius without hard work”. Only genius will be useless if there is no hard work as hard work is always key to success in any task.  But if genius combines with hard work, then it will be matchless. There will be nothing to beat that person. We can take a well-known story for this There was a crow who was very thirsty, he couldn’t find water anywhere. He wandered around in search of water, but he could not find it. He was tired and sat on the wall of a house. He saw a pitcher placed in the house. The crow flew and sat at the edge of the pitcher.  He was very happy as there was water in the pitcher, but unfortunately, the water level was very low and the crow was unable to reach it to drink it. The crow tried its level best but all in vain. At last, the crow used its intelligence and got a solution to raise the water level for its easy access to drink. The crow saw some pebbles near that pitcher and started picking the...
