Why Wisdom Has More Value than of Richness

Many a times it is considered by people that they can take the poor people under pressure by showing their wealthy position, but sometimes it proves wrong when they face any wise poor person. Wisdom is not dependant on financial outlook of any person, rather it is mainly blessed by Allah Almighty and additionally experience of one's life matters. We can take following example for this.

There was a village in hilly area which was very beautiful place with respect to it's landscape as well as it's weather. People of this village were mostly poor but few of them were having good financial condition as they owned lands which the poor had to cultivate to earn their livelihood. There was an old tradition that people used to sit together at evening at a gathering place called "Dara", after completing their work and do some chit chat. Many a times such gatherings were done to resolve any dispute within two or more parties. Such gatherings were very useful tool for resolution of disputes at early stages, now which is called Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

Generally during evening, people in few number used to sit daily for general gossip also. One day there was such a gathering at one of the "Dara" where few poor farmers were sitting. In this gathering one Land owner called "Malik Sahib" was also sitting. Now during discussion one poor person asked another poor person named Muzafar, "In which your son is now a days"?. Muzafar replied that his son is doing matriculation. Malik's son was also doing matriculation, so "Malik" got little annoyed and said, "Golden Chain is never to be worn to a donkey, it is always for the bull of the traditional race". This statement was no doubt a great set back for Muzafar, but he kept quiet.

After few months result of matriculation was announced. Muzafar's son cleared the exam in good grades, but Malik's son got failed in same exams.

Again, as per routine gathering was at "Dara" during evening and same Malik and Muzafar were sitting in it. Now it was turn of wise Muzafar. He said in the gathering, addressing to the Malik, "Malik Sahib the bull is damaging the golden chain by dragging it with the wall, I suggest this golden chain is to be removed from bull's neck and to be worn to the donkey, as donkey deserves it more now".

Now there was a pin drop silence at "Dara" as Muzafar has taken his revenge by giving a very wise statement in a respectful way. Malik was so embarrassed by listening this and regretted on his previous statement.

Moral: Wisdom has more Value than that of Richness

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...
