Why a Person is Slave of his Thoughts

 Allah has bestowed every human being with unlimited capabilities about which he himself doesn’t know. If a person limits himself to particular boundaries by thinking that he is unable to do more, then he will be doing injustice not only to himself and also to the people of his surroundings, who would have benefited from his capabilities. We can take the example of elephants in this respect.

Why a Person is Slave of his Thoughts
Once upon a time, an old man along with a young boy was walking around in a village. This was a very fine evening with pleasant weather. While they were crossing in front of a farmer’s house, they saw two elephants tied with thin chains to small pegs. The young boy was very much surprised to see gigantic elephants tied with such weak chains and pegs. He assumed these things to be so feeble to handle such huge elephants.

He put his query in front of the old man that why these giant elephants not getting themselves free by putting little jerk. The old man got the young boy’s point and told him the reality of what he was seeing. The old man said, “When these elephants were born, both were very weak. The farmer tied them with such little pegs by using thin chains. Each of the elephants tried his best to break both of these i.e. chain and peg, to get him free, but he failed to do so. The reason was that at that time the elephants were weaker than the things with which they were tied. The elephants got tired of doing the effort and at last, they accepted in their mind that these chains and pegs are stronger than them. With the passage of time, the elephants grew up but the chains and pegs remained of the same size. Now you can see such massive elephants tied in such conditions, which made you surprised. Actually, the elephants have become slaves of their thought and have considered these chains and pegs dominant on them in their childhood and now they are not even trying to break these to get them free".

The Same is the condition with a person who becomes a slave of his thoughts and doesn’t try to break the chain to get him free of such thoughts. A person can do anything he wants if he considers himself capable of doing that. If he starts a task with an overwhelmed approach of failure then he will be failed to accomplish that task.

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...
