It is said that every line has a story behind it, every thing we do, we say , we feel has some expressions, some emotion behind them, likewise every incident that happens in any corner of the world has a message for us. Only the smart ones get it, take lesson from it while the other stupid ppl ignore the *between the line* story and it all doesnt matter to them.Its only the attitude which makes us smart or stupid.
This story is from a n autobiography of an american writer. He belonged to a poor family. His parents hardly made both ends meet.As a chid he once asked his dad to take him to a circus. His father, atfirst tried to delay the matter but atlast agreed to take him there. The next day ,father and son both went to the circus. They got in line to buy tickets. Infront of them was a family of 10 including 8 children. They looked gentle and sober but happy and one could tell from their faces that they were attending this circus for the first time. They were whispering among themselves, were anxious and very very happy.When their turn came, the father said: 2 full and 8 half tickets. 44 dollars sir; said the guy from the cabin.The parents lost colour for a moment. They looked at their happy children, ready to see the circus and here they were standing with 10 dollars less.The author and his father both were watching the whole scenario from behind.His father thought for a moment and stepped forward. I think u dropped 20 bucks. Saying this he handed over all the money he had in his pocket and left with his son. This was the best moment in my life,says the writer. That was my first experience of getting happiness by helping others.
The whole point of this story is, suppose if he would not have gone there or would have gone there a day before or later, or if he would be in the different line then he would have not understood the meaning of happiness. Everything happens for a reason.Try to embrace life with open hands. Dont just see the darkness because there is a reason behind this darkness.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Ur friend
Once upon a time there was a king who was very generous and just. His subject were happy and were leading their lives happily. The king was a wise man. He had the art of judging people. For a few years he was not happy with his ministers and secretaries. He thought that they were planning to oust him from throne. He was quite uncomfortable with this feeling and he planned to judge them. He asked his trust worthy friend to announce that the king is dead.
The news spread like a wild fire in the city. Every one was mourning the death of their beloved king except some. These "some" were those who were planning to kill the king and get the throne. They announced that the king is dead and since he appointed one of them the king in his will, he is now HIS MAJESTY.Now every one was supposed to obey his command.
On the other hand the kings funeral was being held but when they were about to bury him, a man approached and said the king is alive. Every one was shocked for a moment but when they opened the coffin there was nothing more than a few blocks or the weight. The King appeared from the crowd and announced to dethrone the newly made king and hang all the traitors.
I was recalling this story when i read the quote "if you want to judge your relations, make a few mistakes......... as it is the only point where relationships show their originality". This is the time when u will get to know who thinks what about you. When u have success every one loves to be your friend but if u are in trouble u will know who your true friends are. That is why they said
"A friend in need...is a friend indeed"...so true, isnt it

Why me...
When adrew groove was told by a doctor that he is suffering from cancer he was really shocked and terrified. He came home thinking that his life is over, there is no hope. He had an excellent career, was successful, had a lot of fame and money, was one of the pioneers of intel corp and was leading a happy life when he was struck with this news. He kept on thinking about it the whole night and in the morning he had made his decision. He gave up 30% of his fortune for the research of cancer treatment.The research started with its full swing and its results were seen in a few years.It is true that if he would not have had this disease, the cure for this ailment would have been a far cry.
The above story tells us that everything in this world happens for a reason. Either it is good or bad in our view, we can get something positive out of it. Take a look at your life, all the events that ever happened either to you or to those ppl whom u can recall, you will see that they(events) all gave us some lesson or some positive thing which made our lives much better than before. But our problem is that we dont understand the positive behind that whole scenario. We start blaming others and cursing everyone whom we can get hold of to be the responsible for our "misery". But believe me if we all keep our hopes high and keep our faith in GOD then not only we can get out of that situation with ease but we will also gain some thing from it as well. Have a nice day.
