A
doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an
urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes &
went directly to the surgery block.
He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.
On seeing him, the dad yelled: “Why did you take all this time to
come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have
any sense of responsibility?”
The doctor smiled & said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital
& I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I
wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”
“Calm down?!
What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If
your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily
The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book
“From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of
God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we
will do our best by God’s grace”
“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,
“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the
father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any
questions, ask the nurse!!”
“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t
wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the
father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday
in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your
son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running
to finish his son’s burial.”
MORAL : “Never judge anyone….. because you never know how their life is & what they’re going through.
A
Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then
distracted him. To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed
the map of the world. He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her
room and put them together to make the map again.
He was sure
she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came
back within minutes with perfect map……When he asked
how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh…. Dad, there is a man’s
face on the other side of the paper….. I made the face perfect to get
the map right.” She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
There is always the other side to whatever you experience in this
world. Whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look
at the other side…. You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle
the problem.
Once a
group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker
stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each one a
balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker
pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each
other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the
person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their
own balloon.
The speaker began— exactly this is happening in our
lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not
knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other
people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And
this is the purpose of human life.
