Why to stick to your own Ethics and Values, not to that of others

You should always follow the ethics which we are taught and never be affected by the behavior of others. Never treat others by looking at their response towards you, rather follow your own pattern of ethics and values so that others may get impressed by your pattern and be tilted towards the good ethics and values you display. An example of this is as below:

An old man was walking around in a forest to collect some wood for his kitchen burner. Suddenly he heard a hue and cry of a cat. He ran towards that place from which he heard that sound.

He saw a cat trapped in a deep hole from which she was unable to escape. The old man decided to help the cat to get out of that hole. He put his hand in the hole to catch the cat to take it out, but the cat scratched the old man’s hand with his paws as she got afraid of the old man.

The old man was screaming because of pain. His hand was bleeding but he didn’t give up and decided to help the cat at any cost. He again put his hand in the hole but got the same response from the cat. There was a person passing by that place, who saw an old man trying to escape the trapped cat and resultantly got his hand injured. That person told the old man not to indulge in such kind of activity where you are getting yourself in pain. The old man neglected the advice of that person and continued his efforts in helping the cat. At last, the old man succeeded and got the cat out of that hole. The cat became submissive and started to thank the old man in her lovely pattern of touching her tail with the old man’s body. Then the cat ran away to the forest.

Now old man addressed the person standing by him and said, “It's cat's nature to make others scratch and hurt him to save her, but it’s a human’s job to be passionate and to display love/care to the entire living creature. Always stick to your own ethics and values, not to that of others”.

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.

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 ...
