THE LAWYER AND HIS POSSESIONS

A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck passed too close and tore off the door on the driver's side. The lawyer immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up. Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had picked up the day before, was now completely ruined no matter what the body shop did to it. When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can not believe how materialistic you lawyers are,"the cop said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."  

"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."

"My God!" screamed the lawyer. "My Rolex!"

So she went out window shopping. Soon enough, she walked by a pet store window. She thought to herself, "What a lovely idea for a present! My mother is so lonely and she needs a pet."

The woman went into the store and saw many wonderful animals. Puppy dogs, fluffy cats, gold fish, cute mice. But the woman didn't think these were special enough. She asked the manager if he had a pet that was really special. The manager thought for a moment and replied. "Yes, but it costs a lot of money. $5,000"

"I have a parrot that can speak 7 languages, Chinese, English, French, Korean, German, Russian and even Hindi!"

The woman said, "Perfect" and bought the bird. She sent it by special delivery to her mother, so she would get it the next day.The next day after work, the woman called her mother, "How do you like your birthday present."

MORAL FROM A FATHER TO HIS SONS

A farmer had five sons. They were strong and hardworking. But they always quarrelled with one another. Sometimes, they even fought. The farmer wanted his sons to stop quarrelling and fighting. Sometimes, they even fought. He wanted them to live in peace. Plain words of advice or scolding did not have much effect on these young people.

The farmer always thought what to do to keep his sons united. One day he found an answer to the problem. So he called all his sons together. He showed them a bundle of sticks and said, "I want any of you to break these sticks without separating the, from the bundle."

Each of the five sons tried one by one. They used their full strength and skill. But none of them could break the sticks. Then the old man separated the sticks and gave each of them just a single stick to break. They broke the sticks easily.

The farmer said,"A single stick by itself is weak. It is strong as long as it is tied up in a bundle. Likewise,you will be strong if you are united. You will be weak if you are divided."

 Moral: United we stand, Divided we fall

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HEART

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.

A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen.

The young man very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart. Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said. "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine". The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly.... but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in... but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges.

In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people starred... how could he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought ?

The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking,'' he said. ''Compare your heart with mine..... mine is perfect and your is a mess of scars and tears."

"Yes", said the old man, "yours is perfect looking.... but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love... I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them... and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart... but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away... and the other person hasn't returned a pieces of his heart to me... this are empty gouges..... giving love is taking a chance. Although all gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too..... and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is ?"

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.

The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit... but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side be side.

MORAL: '' Physical Perfection Is Not Always Beautiful.''

THE VILLAGER AND THE SPECTACLES

                                                               There was a villager. He was illiterate. He did not know how to read and write. He often saw people wearing spectacles for reading books and papers. He thought, "If I have spectacles, I can also read like these people. I must go to town and buy a pair of spectacles for myself." So one day he went to a town. He entered a spectacles shop he asked the shopkeeper for a pair of spectacles for reading. The shopkeeper gave him various pairs of spectacles and a book. The villager tried all the spectacles one by one. But he could not read anything. He told the shopkeeper that all those spectacles were useless for him. The shopkeeper gave him a doubtful look. Then he looked at the book. It was upside down! The shopkeeper said, "Perhaps you don't know how to read."

The villager said, "No ,I don't. I want to buy spectacles so that I can read like others. But I can't read with any of these spectacles." The shopkeeper controlled his laughter with great difficulty when he learnt the real problem of his illiterate customer.

He explained to the villager, "My dear friend, you are very ignorant. Spectacles don't help to read or write. They only help you to see better. First of all you must learn to read and write."

Moral: Ignorance is blindness

THE WIND AND THE SUN

       THE WIND AND THE SUN
  
Once the Wind and Sun had an argument. "I am stronger than you,"said the Wind. "No, you are not,"said the Sun. Just at that moment they saw a traveller walking across the road. H was wrapped in a shawl. The Sun and the Wind agreed that whoever could separate the traveller from his shawl was stronger.
The Wind took the first turn. He blew with all his might to tear the traveller's shawl from is shoulders. But the harder he blew, the tighter the traveller gripped the shawl to his body. The struggle went on till the Wind's turn was over. Now it was the Sun's turn. The Sun smiled warmly. The traveller felt the warmth of the smiling Sun. Soon he let the shawl fall open. The Sun's smile grew warmer and warmer... hotter and hotter. Now the traveller no longer needed his shawl. He took it off and dropped it on the ground. The Sun was declared stronger than the Wind.


               Moral: Brute force can't achieve what a gentle smile can.

PROBLEMS

Believe it or not, we love to have problems. Why? As long as we have problems and, therefore, something to complain about, we feel real and alive. As we confront one problem after another, it also gives us a false feeling of accomplishment and of going somewhere in time. We think having problem proves we're working at life in a positive way. Nothing could be further from the Truth. We love problems because they keep things so messed up, so distorted, we are the only problem we have. When one discovers the true source of all one's problems, there are no more problems to solve.
