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 human is self-centered

 It is mentioned once that there were three friends who were very fond of each other. People used to give examples of their friendship. All three friends grew up together studied in the same school and now used to do business together. They were very close friends. Their business was going very well. They were very hard working. But one day it happened and they started losing business. Their night sleep is forbidden. He tried hard to manage the business but gradually, the business came to a standstill. Now the three of them were very worried and they were getting poorer day by day. They were unemployed and had no work to do. They thought they should go to the city and do business there.

Why Happiness is Considered the State of Mind

Happiness and satisfaction are the state of mind. It can never be assumed that a person is happy due to too much money or having plenty of facilities. We can never say that a person is happy after being well settled. Rather we generally see poor people more satisfied than the rich. Then what is the thing for the poor to retain him happy, this is inner satisfaction. In other words we can say, the state of mind which makes him happy and contented. We take an example of such condition. Ashfaq Ahmad, who was a very known writer of Pakistan says that he has served for several years in Radio Pakistan and got posted at various locations.

There a person named Ghulab, who was a low paid employee at Gilgit Radio Station and was doing duty as a office boy. Ghulab always remained unhappy and worried by his appearance. We never saw him happy and contented. We thought him unhappy because of his financial...

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 ...
