Why Everyone Cannot be Jack of All Trades

 Once upon a time, there was a family of poor weavers. They were living in a village and had a very simple life style. They had combined family system, where elders were respected very well.

Why Everyone Cannot be Jack of All Trades

 House of the family was of old pattern where pitches were fixed in the walls of rooms. Said pitchers were used for storage of wheat in these. This family had also goats in its house. One day, one goat, which had horns, tried to eat wheat from the pitcher and entered its head in the pitcher. In this effort, goat's head was struck in the pitcher and she was unable to get it out.

Now the poor family was very much worried as they were unable to get any solution. This family had an old man who was bed ridden, but deemed to be very wise within the family.

So everyone agreed to get advice from that old man to get the solution. The whole family gathered around the old man's bed and put their problem in front of him. The old man heard the situation and remained very calm to dig out the solution.

Now the old man started his advice and told the family to fall down the room in the wall of which, the pitcher was, in which goat was struck. The family executed as per instruction, now the goat was with the pitcher, and moving around, but still not free of that pitcher. The family again went to the old and again told about the situation. The old man smiled and told the family to cut the head of goat. Same was done by poor family. Now goat had died, even then its head was in the pitcher. Again old man was consulted, now he gave a solution to break the pitcher. By doing this head of goat got free of pitcher.

Everything was destroyed by following old man's advice, room had fell down, goat was slaughterd and the pitcher was broken. 

Now the old man started weeping in front of family. On inquiring, he told, I am weeping because I am worried about, who will give you such useful advices after my death.

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 ...

Where There is a Will There is a Way

Where there is a will there is always a way. If anyone puts full commitment and effort to achieve any target, destiny will help him/her to get it. It is upon the person how dedicated he/she is to the achievement of his goal. Nothing in this world is impossible if the person engaged in its fulfillment shows true spirit and d edication.

He was so dedicated to his job that he always remained the backbone of his network. He had a wish to write a book of his own but he never got time for that. His commitment to his job was always appreciated by his seniors and the owner of his newspaper. One day when he woke up to go for his duty, he tried to get out of his bed but surprisingly he was unable to move. He became totally disabled and his whole body except his brain beca...

How Dress Speaks of One's Personality

  Dress is having a great impact on the personality of a person and also decides how others will behave with him by getting an impression about him. People behave as if they get inspired by a person and his dressing plays the main role in this. One great example is as below. Shiekh Saadi was a great and well-known poet of Iran. He was very popular because of his poetry. One day he was going to the Court of King and on his way to the court, he had to stay in a house of a nobleman. He was simply dressed and was not recognized by the nobleman. The nobleman and his servant behaved with Shiekh Saadi in a very casual way, as they considered Saadi to be a poor man wearing a low-cost/ordinary dress. They didn’t show any kind of hospitality that Shiekh Saadi actually deserved Shiekh Saadi was very sad about their behavior. He went to the King’s Court. On his way back, Saadi had to again stay in the same house in which he previously stayed. Now, he wore elegant clothes. The nobleman and ...
