Life: What dose it mean?
Life: What dose it mean?
One of my friend had send me small story about life and God. Really I feel everyone should read
Very popular Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in past, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed : "why does god has to select you for such a bad disease?"
To this person the great player :
'50 million children started playing tennis,
5 million learn to play tennis,
5,00,000 learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit,
5,000 reached grand slam ,
50 reach Wimbledon ,
4 to the semifinals,
2 to the final and
When I was holding the cup I never asked God 'why me?'
and now in the pain I should not be asking God 'WHY ME?'
Happiness keeps you Sweet!
Trials keeps you Strong!
Sorrow keeps u Human!
That’s the Human Life
second such story i have received from friend Dr Nilam, must read
THE HOT CHOCOLATE STORY
A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an
assortment of cups-porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.
When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:
'Notice that all the nice looking; expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even
hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups...
And then you began eyeing each others cups.
Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they
have.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2010. And enjoy your hot chocolate!
