He asked the old man to bribe him with 500 rupees to sign his pension papers.

The old man gave him 501 rupees and said, "the one rupee is shagun, so that the money doesn't bring misfortune to you and your family for being dishonest with a person your father's age."

Shaken, he returned the money that was offered, signed the pension paper immediately.

However he couldn't part away with the little coin of shagun.

It'd stopped him from bringing misfortune to him and his family thereon.

The Donkey Attitude

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
 
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
 
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

 
MORAL :

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less from people but  more from God.


You have two choices... smile and close this page,
or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson.

‘WHEN YOU TRUST SOMEONE TRUST HIM COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY DOUBT....... AT THE END YOU WOULD GET ONE OF THE TWO : EITHER A LESSON FOR YOUR LIFE OR A VERY GOOD PERSON.

The Power of Good Words

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit.

All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the unfortunate frogs they would never get out. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit.

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 simply 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 suffering and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs asked him, "Why did you continue jumping. Didn't you hear us?"

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


This story holds 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.

The power of words… 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.

What to Focus on for Success

When there is a negative situation that you cannot change,

Focus your thoughts and energy elsewhere.

When there is a pain that will not go away, Overwhelm it with an even greater amount of joy.

It serves no useful purpose to get mired in despair over things you cannot control.

It makes much more sense to do the very best,  to achieve the very most, With those things you do control.

You can choose where to focus your energy and attention.
Focus on those areas where you can have a powerful positive impact.

Yes, it can be easy to get caught up in the negativity of the moment.
Yet it also can be surprisingly easy to shift your focus toward the positive, Productive things you can do.

You are never obligated to be miserable. If you really want to contribute to life, Set your sights on the value you're able to create.

Don't despair over the darkness that is beyond your control.
Instead, shine your own light so brightly that the darkness is overwhelmed.

Rules for Life

Have you ever had an epiphany? One of those “a-ha” moments where something just clicks for you? Maybe it’s something you’ve been struggling with for a long time, or maybe it was a piece of advice you learned from a friend. Whatever the source of our insight, it’s these moments that bring us to a deeper understanding of our world. The better understanding we have of life, the more we live in the truth.

Below are the most powerful lessons:

Often those who aren’t the easiest to love are the ones who need it the most.

Seeing children play can make even the bluest day brighter.

Money is not the root of all evil, fear is.

The secret to happiness is the acceptance of yourself.

Happiness is not based on external status, it is an internal state.

Money can’t make me happy, but self-sufficiency gives me the freedom to share myself creatively, without worrying about how I’m going to pay the bills.

Every man has a right to choose his own destiny.

The path is the way. You define your own path.
Follow your gut, you’ll thank yourself later.

Remember what your mother taught you, it came from the most sacred place of love that exists.

Never let an argument last, never hold a grudge, it will make your heart heavy.

Forgive those that have yet to do you wrong, and you won’t have to worry about it should the time come.

Be grateful for this moment, it is all there is.

The source of most of your frustrations and anxiety are the result of living in the future, or the past.

Spend time alone with yourself every day.

Always go with yourself, never against yourself.

You have to be your own best friend.

If you don’t like what someone else says to you, you can walk away. But if you don’t like what you say to yourself, you can’t walk away. Therefore, if you’re going to be with yourself all the time, you might as well be nice to yourself.

The truth shall indeed set you free.

Lies only exist if we believe in them.

Even the most fundamental beliefs about reality are not true in themselves. Our thinking makes them true in our experience.

Your thoughts create reality.

The biggest lie is the lie of your imperfection.

Being kind is more important than being right.

Your heart is your best compass.

Cherish those that you love, you never know if you’ll see them again.

Your beliefs are a filter for your reality.

Love is the supreme expression of life, it is the essence and ground of all creation.
