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 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.
