Why Self-Esteem and Satisfaction Need Nothing

There was a beautiful village away from the city. The villagers were very simple, poor but sweet-hearted. They used to live within their resources and always remained thankful to Allah Almighty. They never made complaints to anyone about their poverty. Due to their behavior, they remained happy and self-satisfied.

Why Self-Esteem and Satisfaction Need Nothing

There was a very poor person named Sher, who had with him, only his wife. The couple had no kid; even then they always remained happy and thankful to their Allah Almighty. People around them were very surprised by their satisfaction. Sher was a simple but very jolly person and was a source of amusement for his villagers.   Sher was also low paid employee at an office in the city. He was not having a bicycle and due to his poverty, he couldn’t afford to visit his house except on weekends. There was one person named Fateh in his office that was also from the same village. That person was having a bicycle to commute on daily basis. The same person was Sher’s supervisor.

Fateh was an open-minded person and always facilitated Falak to send anything through him, to his wife. Sher had a cloth bag, which he used to hand over to Fateh at frequent intervals, to give it to his wife, similarly, his wife used to return the same bag early morning to Fateh. There was always anything inside the bag with almost equal weight.

This activity continued for a long duration but the Fateh never opened the bag to see, what is inside nor did he ask Sher about the thing inside the bag. One day Fateh was about to leave for the village when Sher gave him the same bag. There was a friend of Fateh who opened the bag. To the surprise of Fateh, there was pair of shoes that Sher used to wear in his office. Now the supervisor called Sher and asked about the matter, why he used to send his shoes with frequent to his wife and the same was done by his wife. The poor and simple Sher replied, “We have only one pair of better shoes, which I wear in the office and whenever my wife wants to go to any function in the village, she asks me to bring the shoes, I wrap shoes in the bag and send these to my wife through you. So, I am sorry that I always did so without informing you”

Fateh and his friend were very surprised by self-respect of Sher, who never asked for any help from him to get extra shoes for his wife. Rather he maintained his self-esteem, respect and remained satisfied with his condition.

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.

They put on their own beds and sat down. They were still sitting when after a while he saw a shining object. ...

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. He also remained posted at Gilgit Radio Station. It was a small office but in a beautiful place. 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 ...
