"A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was ‪‎perfect‬ and always delivered a full portion of ‪‎water‬ at the end of the long walk from the ‎stream‬ to the master's ‎house‬, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own ‪‎imperfection‬, and ‪‎miserable‬ that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?" "I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your ‪‎efforts‬," the pot said. The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path." Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the ‎beautiful‬ ‪‎wildflowers‬ on the side of the path, and this cheered it somewhat. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.

As a man was passing the ‪elephants‬, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge ‪creatures‬ were being held by only a ‪small rope‬ tied to their front leg. No ‪chains‬, no ‪cages‬. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime can break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a ‪trainer‬ nearby and asked why these ‪animals‬ just stood there and made no attempt to get away. "Well," trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their ‪bonds‬ but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

Long time ago there lived a priest who was extremely ‪lazy‬ and ‪poor‬ at the same time. He did not want to do any ‪hardwork‬ but used to dream of being rich one day. He got his food by begging for alms. One morning he got a pot of ‎milk‬ as part of the alms. He was extremely delighted and went home with the pot of milk. He boiled the milk, drank some of it and put the remaining milk in a pot. He added slight ‪curds‬ in the pot for converting the milk to curd. He then lay down to sleep. Soon he started imagining about the pot of curd while he lay asleep. He dreamed that if he could become rich somehow all his miseries would be gone. His thoughts turned to the pot of milk he had set to form curd. He dreamed on; "By morning the pot of milk would set, it would be converted to curd. I would churn the curd and make butter from it. I would heat the ‎butter‬ and make ‎ghee‬ out of it. I will then go to that market and sell that ghee, and make some ‪‎money‬. With that money i will buy a hen. The hen will lay may ‪‎eggs‬ which will hatch and there will be many ‪‎chicken‬. These chicken will in turn lay hundreds of eggs and I will soon have a poultry farm of my own." He kept on imagining.

A doctor entered the ‪‎hospital‬ in hurry after being called in for an urgent ‪‎surgery‬. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the ‪father‬ yelled, "Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in ‪‎danger‬? Don't you have any sense of ‪‎responsibility‬?" The doctor ‪smiled‬ and said, "I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work". "Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for doctor than what will you do??" said the father ‪‎angrily‬. The doctor smiled again and replied, "We will do our best by God's grace and you should also ‪‎pray‬ for your son's ‪healthy‬ life".

One day a ‎construction‬ supervisor from 6th floor of ‪‎building‬ was calling a worker working on the ground floor. Because of construction noise, the worker on ground floor did not hear his #supervisor calling. Than, to draw the attention of ‪worker‬, the supervisor threw a 10 rupee note from up which fell right around in front of the worker. The worker picked up the 10 rupee note, put it in his ‪‎pocket‬ & continued with his work. Again to draw the attention of worker, the supervisor now threw 500 rupee note & the worker did the same, picked 500 rupee note, put it in his pocket & started doing his job. Now to draw attention of the worker, the supervisor picked a small ‪‎stone‬ & threw on worker. The stone hit exactly the worker head. This time the worker looked up & the supervisor communicated with the worker. This story is same as of our life. Lord from up wants to communicate with us, but we are busy doing our worldly ‪jobs‬. Then God give us small ‎gifts‬ & we just keep it without seeing from where we got it.

A ‪‎jobless‬ man applied for the position of 'office boy' at a very big company. The employer ‪‎interviewed‬ him, then a test: clean the floor. "You are hired." - the employer said. "Give me your email address, and I'll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start." The man replied, "I don't have a computer, neither an email." "I'm sorry," said the employer, "if you don't have an email that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job." The man left with no hope. He didn't know what to do, with only 500rs/- in his pocket.

There was an old mule. One day accidentally he ‪fell‬ into the ‪farmer‬'s ‎well‬. The farmer has evaluated the situation and thought to himself, that neither the well nor the old mule was worth the efforts to save them. Thus he decided to haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well. So the farmer called his ‪‎neighbours‬ and together they started to shovel dirt into the well. The old mule was ‪terrified‬ and ‪‎hysterical‬ in the beginning. But soon one hopeful idea came to his mind - every time when a shovel of dirt landed on his back, he would ‪‎shake‬ it off and step up!

One day a small gap appeared in the ‪‎cocoon‬, through which the ‪‎butterfly‬ had to appear. A boy, who accidentally passed by, stopped and ‪watched‬ how the butterfly was trying to get out of the cocoon. It took a lot of time, the butterfly was trying very ‪hard‬, and the gap was as ‪little‬ as before. It seemed that the ‪‎power‬ would leave the butterfly soon. The boy decided to help the butterfly. He took a ‪penknife‬ and cut the cocoon. The butterfly immediately got out, but its body was ‪weak‬ and ‪feeble‬, and the wings were barely moving.

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something ‪positive‬ to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a unique ‪‎manager‬ because he had several ‪waiters‬ who had followed him around from ‪restaurant‬ to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his ‪attitude‬. He was a natural ‪motivator‬. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each ‪morning‬ I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a ‪victim‬ or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life." "Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a ‪good mood‬ or ‪bad mood‬. The bottom line It's your choice how you live ‪life‬."

One cowardly person came to a master of martialarts and asked to teach him ‪‎bravery‬. The master looked at him and said: - I will teach you only with one condition: one month you will have to live in a ‪‎bigcity‬ and tell every person that you meet on your way that you are a ‪coward‬. You will have to say it ‪‎loudly‬, ‪openly‬ and looking ‪straight‬ into the person's eyes. The person got really ‪sad‬, because this task seemed very ‎scary‬ to him. For a couple of days he was very sad and thoughtful, but to live with his cowardice was so unbearable that he travelled to the city to accomplish his mission. At first, when meeting the passers, he quailed, lost his speech and couldn't contact anyone. But he needed to finish the master's task, so he began to overcome himself. When he came up to his first passer to tell about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would ‪‎die‬ from ‪fear‬. But his voice sounded louder and more confident with every passing day. Suddenly came a moment, when the man caught himself thinking that he's not scared anymore, and the further he continued doing the master's task, the more convinced he was that the fear was abandoning him. That way a month had passed. The person came back to the master, bowed to him and said: - Thank you, ‪teacher‬. I finished your ‪task‬. Now I'm not ‪afraid‬ anymore. But how did you know that this ‪strange‬ task will help me?

A ‪‎young boy‬ and his father were walking along a ‪forest‬ path. At some point, they came across a large tree ‪branch‬ on the ‪ground‬ in front of them. The boy asked his father, "If I try, do you think I could move that branch?" His father replied, "I am sure you can, if you use all your strength." The boy tried his best to lift or push the branch, but he was not strong enough and he couldn't move it. He said, with disappointment, "You were wrong, dad. I can't move it." "Try again," replied his father. Again, the boy tried ‎hard‬ to push the branch. He ‪struggled‬ but it did not move. "Dad, I cannot do it," said the boy. Finally his father said, "Son, I advised you to use all your strength. You didn't. You didn't ask for my help."

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your ‪growth‬ in this company passed away. We invite you to join the ‪‎funeral‬ in the room that has been prepared in the ‪gym‬". In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his ‪colleagues‬ and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: "Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!" One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the ‪coffin‬, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a ‪mirror‬ inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.

Once upon a time, there lived a big mango tree. A little boy loved to come and ‪‎play‬ around it everyday. He climbed to the ‪tree‬ top, ate the mangoes, took a nap under the ‪‎shadow‬... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by... The little boy ‪grew‬, and he no longer played around the tree. One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad look on his face. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a ‪kid‬, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want ‪toys‬. I need ‎money‬ to buy them." "Sorry, I don't have money... but you can pick all my mangoes and sell them so you will have money." The boy was so excited. He picked all the mangoes on the tree and left ‪happily‬. The boy didn't come back. The tree was sad. One day, the boy grown into a man returned. The tree was so excited. "Come and play with me," the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for my ‪‎family‬. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, I don't have a house, but you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the man cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn't come back afterward. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot ‪summer‬ day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" The tree said. "I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a ‪‎boat‬?" "Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy." So the man cut the tree ‪trunk‬ to make a boat. He went sailing and didn't come back for a long time.
