Short and a Powerful Story which has changed my life upside down.
There was Mr. John who lived in a small village and had his own farm where he used to sow some and reap some. He used to sell the reap to the merchants and lived hand to mouth.
But he was a kind man.Every evening he used to go to his village corner and and talk to every one there. His kind statements were always “ How are you all? Can I help You? “
One night some people came to his farm and asked him the permission to investigate his farm. He allowed them and the moment they ploughed, black colored water came out. Mr. John was unhappy but the people were stunned seeing the black water. They explained Mr.John that this is crude black oil and you have become rich. Mr.John sold the farm to those guys and overnight he became rich. He bought a nice hat, a cigar, clothes, a house and a huge black limousine car.
Everything about Mr. John changed but two things didn't change i.e his kindness and his habit of going to village corner every evening. Now he used to go in his black limousine. He used to be at the driving seat and during his travel he would look on the right and say “Hello, how can I help you?” He used to look in left and would say to ladies by pulling off his hat with respect “hey ladies, can I help you?”
Mr. john used to look everywhere except looking in front, can you guess Why?
Because his limousine was pulled by two horses!!!
Out of curiosity someone asked him, “Mr. John, Are you mad, you have a 1000s horsepower car and still its pulled by two horses?”
Out of honesty he told “ I don’t know how to start the car”
Moral: Isn't it a case with all of us, with 1000s of potential within us still we are dependent on external situations and we want for outside world to do something for us. Lets take charge of our lives and push the accelerator towards our goals.
