A SNAKE AND A SAW

              One night a Snake while it was looking for food entered a Carpernter's workshop. The carpenter, who was rather untidy man had left several of his tools lying on the floor.

One of them was a saw. The snake slid against it and started bleeding. Taken aback, the angry snake tried to bite the object that had caused it harm. This time, its mouth was hurt and bled. In an instant, the snake took away from the saw but on second thoughts coiled back to hit the saw with vengeance.

The next morning, the carpenter saw a snake lying dead near his saw.

Sometimes, while trying to teach a lesson to others or getting even with others, we tend to harm and punish ourselves.
In life, We can't always have " TIT FOR TAT "

Be Thankful to Your Parents...!

DON'T WE ALL ?

                      Once, A man was washing his car outside his house. He had a beautiful house, a beautiful wife, a good job. While washing his car he saw a person coming towards him, by the look of that man, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes and probably no money, he looked like a bum (Beggar).

The man thought, " I hope he doesn't ask me for any money ".
The bum came and sat near him.
After a while, the bum spoke, " Your car is Beautiful ".
The man said, " Thanks ! ", and he continued wiping the car.

The bum sat there and watched him. Opposite to the man's expectation, he didn't ask for money or anything yet. Finally out of anxiety the man asked the Bum,
" Do you need any help ? "

The person was feeling high and mighty, above the Bum, until these 3 
words by Bum shook him, " Don't we all ? "

The man was shocked, maybe he did not need help for shelter, for clothes, for food but
he needed help somewhere !

He gave him enough money for a day's meal and shelter!

We look for Wisdom, We look for it from great people, someone with deep studies and there is this Bum who has given us a lesson.

" It least matter how much you have,
It least matters how little you have,
You can always help ".

Even a Smile can heal a lot !

" To receive later, we need to give First...!
We help someone, Other someone will help us ".

A SON & OLD FATHER

A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.
Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and pants.
Others diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.

After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his spectales firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurnent was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.

The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him,

" Don't you think you have left something behind ? "

The son replied, " No sir, I haven't ".
The old man retorted," Yes, You have !
You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father ".

The restaurant went silent.
 

YOUR TIME WILL COME

              Kenya is two hours ahead of Nigeria, but it does not mean that Nigeria is slow, and it does not mean that Kenya is faster than Nigeria. Both countries are working based on their own " Time Zone ".

Some one is still single.. Someone got married and 'waited' ten years before having a child, there is another who had had a baby within one year after marriage.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a job; and there is another who graduated at the age of 27 and secured employment just after national service.

Joyce Meyer started her own ministry at age 41 and still today at 71 years old.

Someone became CEO at the age of 25 and died at the age of 50 while another became a CEO at the age of 50 and lived to 90 years.

Everyone worked based on thier Time Zone.. Some people have everything that work fast for them. Work in your " Time Zone ".

Colleagues, friends, relatives, associates, younger one(s) might "seem" to go ahead of you. Don't envy them, it's their " Time Zone ". Don't get into comparison mode as everyone comes with his individual time zone destiny to learn their unlearnt lessons of life.. Your time will come too when you have experienced that unlearnt lesson of life to enjoy that fuller experience.. Hold on, be Strong, and stay true to yourself. 

All things shall work together for everyone's good at their right time.
You're not late.., you're on YOUR TIME...!!
 

IS THERE AN END FOR IT ?

                      One night just before the shopkeeper was about to close the shop, a dog came into the shop. There was a bag in its mouth. The bag had a list of items to be bought and money. The shopkeeper took the money and kept the items in the bag.

Immediately, the dog picked up the bag of items and left. The shopkeeper was surprised and went behind the dog to see who the owner was.

The dog waited at the bus stop. After sometime, a bus came and the dog got into the bus. As soon as the conductor came, it moved forward to show his neck belt which had money and the address as well. The conductor took the money and put the ticket in his neck belt again.

When it reached the destination, the dog went to the front and wagged his tail indicating that he wanted to get down. The moment the bus stopped, it got down. The shopkeeper was still following it.

The dog knocked on the door of a house with its legs. Its owner came from inside

and beat it with a stick.

The shocked shopkeeper asked him,

" Why are you beating the dog? " to which the owner replied,

" He disturbed my sleep, It could have taken the keys with it ".

Is there an End for Expectation ? 

Absolutely NO.

This is the truth of life. There is no end to the expectations people have from you. 

The moment you go wrong, they start pointing at your mistakes. All the good done

in the past is forgotten. Any small mistake committed then gets magnified. 

This is the Nature of this Material World.
 

CUT THE ROPE

                          There lived a man, he wanted to climb the highest mountain in the world.  After many years of preparation he decided to give it go. Because he wanted to achieve glory alone, he started climbing the mountain alone.

It was cold, the night arrival, it was dark, zero visibility but he still wanted to climb. Instead of taking a halt, he kept climbing.

Suddenly, his foot slipped and he lost his control. It was a free fall, he felt the pull of gravity. In those moments of great fear, it reminded of all the good and bad things he did in his life.

He was now thinking of how close was his death, all of a sudden he felt a hard pull by a rope tied to his waist.

His body was now hanging, with only a support of rope, He cried and screamed, "Help me God ".

A voice came from cloud, " What do you want me to do "?
The man cried, " Save me God ! "

The voice came, " Will you do as I say " ?

The man cried, " Yes anything, Please save me ".

The voice came, " Cut the rope tied on your waist ".

The man did not cut the rope and held it by all his strength.

Next morning when the rescue team arrived, it said that the climber was dead and frozen, he was holding on his rope which was frozen,

Only Six feet above ground !

So, How attached are you with your rope ?
Will you let go ?

MORAL : Sometimes, It is better to let it go.
 

WHAT HAPPEN TO THE WOOD CUTTER ?

WEST AFRICAN STORY ABOUT TROUBLE..,

            Bwana Shida was going out to chop wood one day for a fire. He was working to fell it on a hot day and he was almost finished when... " Suddenly he heard a roar behind him and scrambled up the the tree lickety-split. Lion...!! He looked down and saw a lion... but just as he thought he had gotten to safety high up in the tree branches, he turned and saw a.... What dangerous animal do you think might be in the tree ? Yes, A Poisonous Snake...!! He thought to himself " I'll just jump in the river where the snake and lion won't follow me, but when he looked down, he saw another sharp row of teeth waiting for him. Crocodile...!! 

Bwana Shida dangled in the breeze, threatened every which way by aggressive dangers. He'll die ! Things only got worse for Bwana Shida as the wind began to pick up and make it difficult for him to keep his gri after he was already tired from working. Nonetheless, Bwana Shida said to himself,                " I'm just going to hold on as long as I can and wait to see what happens. 

Just when the fortune seemed most impossible to turn for the better: The wind made the tree fall, which pinned the lion and snake, and the sound of the mighty tree cracking sent the  Crocodile into a watery skedalle that took him out of predatory reach. To his astonishment, Bwana Shida walked away unharmed.

MORAL: When things are tough you have to hold on, and that when things are tougher you have to hold tigher, because you never know what the wind may blow your way.
