There is greatness in hard work

Once upon a time, in the past, a king used to rule a country. He was very keen to get the gold. The inhabitants of the country were very lazy and careless.  Their occupation was farming. They used to do nothing but dig the ground hoping for gold all day long. Now those people were very worried because the ruler of the time wanted wealth and because of not getting wealth he also oppressed them a lot. These people thought a lot but could not see any solution.

One of them, who is very genius and hard working wants to help the people. He thought of an idea. He went to the king and said to him that he had seven sacks of gold but the problem is here that some time ago, he had buried these sacks in some ground. Now he had forgotten where they were. He told the king that it would take a long time to fetch the gold for which he needed many men, horses, and bullocks. First we have to dig the ground and find out where that gold is and all this work can take up to a year. The man said, “if you allow these men to stay with me for a year, in that time we will be able to get the gold. The king had no choice but to obey them. He sent many men with horses and bullocks. But the king also made a condition that if he failed to do so, he would be beheaded. The young man nodded yes. He took the people with him and set off on his journey.



First of all, the young man ordered the people to dig. Then plowing was done with oxen. Manure will be added to the soil to fertilize it. When the land was ready, wheat seeds were sown in it. After a year, when the crop is ready, he harvests it. Thus he obtained a large quantity of wheat. The young man loaded the wheat on the horses and started for the palace. While walking on the way, he reached the place where there was famine and the people there bought all the wheat. In return, the young man got seven sacks of gold, which he took to the king.



Seeing him, the king asked, did you bring all the gold. The young man smiled and replied Yes, I have got the gold by selling wheat. When his servants told the whole story to the king, he was very happy but sad too. After that, the king ordered his people to cultivate and within a few years, there was a period of prosperity in the country. The king thanked the young man.

 There are still many people in the world who do not understand the greatness of hard work. The king understood that along with hard work, the way of working should also be correct.

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...
