51，Never Lose Hope:

Once a middle aged man lost his job and was looking for a job to support his living. In newspaper he found that a job of “Office Boy” is available. He needed a job badly so he applied for post of “office boy” at a very big firm.

Next day he was called for interview. Manager interviewed him and gave him a test. Man cleared the test.

Manager said, “You are hired.. Now give me your e-mail address so that i can send you further details and your joining letter..”

Man replied, “Sir, i don’t have a computer and neither do i have any e-mail address.”

Manager replied, “What..? In today time if you don’t have an e-mail id that means you don’t exist and that means you can’t get this job.. I am sorry but you are not hired.”

Man left. He didn’t know what to do as he had only 200rs left in his pocket and no job. He had no hope of getting any other job anytime soon. He didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to go home without job. He thought for a while…

Then he decided to go to super market and buy 10kg veggies with that money and then went door to door to sell those veggies. Till evening he was able to sell off all those veggies and even doubles up his money.

This made him realize that he can survive by this and started to go to super market every day early in the morning and buy fresh veggies and then whole day he would sell them going door to door and by evening he would sold all the veggies he bought in morning.

He worked very hard everyday and with his determination and persistence, just in 5 years he became a well established businessman. Now he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles and became one of the biggest food chain retailers in US market.

One day he decided to have life insurance for his family and himself. He called an insurance consultant. After all discussions, consultant asked him about his e-mail address.

Man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail address.”

Consultant was surprised and said, “You don’t an e-main address and yet you succeeded to build an empire.. Can you imagine what you could have done and what you could be if you had an e- mail address..”

Man thought for a moment and replied, “An office boy..!!”

Moral: If we seek for something and don’t get it, we should not lose hope.. We don’t know what destiny had in store for us.. Never lose Hope and Keep Trying.

52，Puppies for Sale:

Once a farmer painted an advertisement for puppies to sell and was fixing it on the edge of his yard. As he was hitting last nail for board to be fixed on it’s place he felt a tug on his overalls.

When he looked behind he saw a little kid. He asked, “What do you want kid??”

Kid replied, “I want to buy a puppy..”

Farmer replied, “Well kid.. These pup are quite expensive as they came from very good breed of dog..”

Little boy dropped his head but after a moment, reaching deep down into his pants pocket he pulled some coins from his pocket and held it up to the farmer and said, “Sir, i have got only 50 cent.. would that be enough for a puppy?”

Farmer smiled and said, “Yes..!!”

Then farmer whistle and called out his dog. Dog came along with came its four puppies running behind it out of dog house. Boy was delighted to see them.

Boy noticed that behind four puppies there was little one who was slowly coming out of that dog house and in awkward manner that little puppy was trying to catch up with other.

Boy pointed toward that puppy and said, “I want that one..”

Farmer replied, “Kid, you don’t want that.. he will not be able to play or run with you like other puppies..”

Listening to this, kid took a step back from the fence and began rolling up one leg of his trousers revealing a steel brace which was attached with specially made shoes which kid was wearing and said, “Sir, I don’t run too well myself and that puppy will need someone who understands..”

Moral: Everyone of us have our own Weakness but if we Willing to Accept it instead of opposing then we can make Advantage out of our own Weakness.

53，Advice from Old People:

Once in old times young king of country thought that old people are unnecessary and burden to country as they are weak and unable to do any productive work. All his courtiers consisted of young people and they agreed with him.

Soon King passed an order that all people above sixty must be killed as they have already lived their lifetime. So all the old people of the country were killed.

In the country lived a young man who had great respect and love for his father and he didn’t wanted him to get killed. So before soldier came he hid his father into a cellar.

After some years a terrible drought overtook a country and people had to suffer from troubles and sickness. Famine was so severe that even stores of food grains were fully exhausted and not a single grain of seed was left to sow in land.

Everyone in the country looked worried but no one could think of anything to better country situation.

Young man who hid his father.. used to go his father for advice whenever anything troubled him. So even this time he went to his father and told him about situation. Old man thought for a while and said, “Don’t worry.. Take your plough and plough up the path in front of our house and then rake it over.”

Young man did same. After rain came sprouts of wheat started to come out of that ploughed area. Young man was surprised to see that even without sowing any seed sprouts came out.
