Ki sach ki talash he dur akash he, ki manzil paas nahi kya tu mere paas he...!!!

Amazing, these lines are in my mind since today evening and are driving me so crazy that i am writting a blog on it.
I have many dreams like many others but i don't know i will live upto them or not.I doubt this because i doubt my capabilities.These days I am in love with a Bubble Blower,you may call it childish but i found pleasures of life in these things only.Yes,so what was i talking about ...yeah that bubble blower produces wonderful bubbles but 2 things that taught me.First is Evertytime the no. of bubbles generated are different despite of my same efforts all the time and second is each bubble has a life which is so small yet it spreads happiness because everytime i see a bubble,that makes me smile.Apart from these two things i got another lesson from it Bubbles are just like dreams,they rise high,they are beautiful but unfortunately they burst out...And this makes me sad.I wonder will my dreams come true?But then I am bestowed with some special souls,touchwood.They are with me in every walk of my life.I guess god compensated by for my unfulfilled dreams by giving me these treasures.This blog is kind of tribute to them.I love you all,thank you for being there.I will like to end with few lines for them :
manzil aj nahi to kal milegi to sahi
halaki khud pe nahi he yakeen
par lagta he udaan hogi sapno ki puri
jo tu mere paas he...!!!

2 stories

Hi everyone !
Read 2 stories with great moral,felt like sharing so posting them here.

THE GOOD CORN STORY

There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn.Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honour and prizes.One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it.The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors."How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked."Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field.If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn."The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves.So it is in other dimensions! Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

If we are to grow good quality corn, we must help our neighbors grow good quality corn too...

The 2nd one goes like this...

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.

He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?"

The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

This story teaches two lessons:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
Be careful of what you say.

Speak life to those who cross your path.

It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way.

Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.

Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

Hope you will inculcate teachings from these stories in your lives.
