The Splash of Wisdom

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the  barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him.  After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and  enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded.  Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around  the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the  farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to  him and asked to be given another chance. The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks  sincere enough."  So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little  boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and  surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had ...

This incident is about a Gujarati person named Kanjibhai. Long long time ago, before he got married, he was travelling from Ahmadabad to Bombay by train. Rupaben was also travelling in the same compartment except that they both didn't know each other in the beginning. Once they started talking, they realized they both had a lot in common. Both were Single. Both were Gujaratis. Both were going to Bombay. Both were Schoolteachers. Both were starting a new job at the Mithibai College. They seemed to hit it off well and decided to be roommates in Bombay and made a pact that they would do everything together. So they lived in the same house, travelled to the college together on Kanjibhai's scooter, had lunch in the staff room together, returned home together. They were watching the TV together, eating dinner together and were also sharing the same bedroom and ...EVEN sharing the same bed. The only problem was Rupaben was placing a pillow between them at bedtime, much to the frustr...

Have you ever watched kids, On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain, Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day, On the fly? When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores, Running through your head?  You'd better slow down, Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say,"Hi" You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift....Thro...

Some of us never liked close competition. We preferred to be clear winners or not to compete at all. We didn't like to have competitors breathing down our necks. This attitude kept up from doing our best, and we made a mistake when we thought we were competing with others. We're actually competing with ourselves at all times, trying to do better than we did yesterday. The presence of other people only helps us to set performance standards and goals. Once we accept the idea of self-improvement, we can delight in competition. We can take satisfaction in situations where, though we were not number one, we came in a close second instead of a sullen last. Moral :  I'll know today that I'm always working with others but only competing against myself. … Courtesy : Shared by Aakash Wangnoo on FaceBook.com

There was a man taking a morning walk at or the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one." What difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone made a small difference, we'd end up with a big difference, wouldn't we? Courtesy : Pawan Gajra on citehr.com

There are numerous myths related to medical science, which doesn’t have any relevance behind it. These myths don’t have any evidence to prove them right or wrong. Even then they are quite popular among the people. Here are some of the common myths which every one of us should be aware of- Drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday There is no scientific evidence  that  to keep yourself healthy, you should drink at least 8 glasses of water every day .This notion has been accepted worldwide and you can spot people carrying around bottles of water with them.
