RESPECT THE "NO"

Once, a bird searched for a home to lay her eggs and shelter in the rainy season.
In her search, she saw two trees, and she went to ask for protection.

When she asked the first tree, it refused to give her shelter. With disappointment, she went to the second. And the second tree agreed.

She made her home and laid her eggs, and then the rainy season arrived.
The rain was so heavy that the first tree fell and was carried away by the flood.

The bird saw this and, in a taunting way, said: ”See, this is your karma, you didn’t offer me shelter, and now God has given you the punishment.”

The tree smiled for the last time and said :”I knew I’m not going to survive this rainy season. That’s why I refused you. I didn’t want to risk your and your children’s lives.“

The bird had tears as *she now knew why she and the kids were alive !*

# Learning :

#1. _We should not always consider someone’s "NO" as their arrogance_

#2. _You don’t know the whole picture._

#3. _Respect others' decision whether it is in your favor or not._

#5. _We get so involved in our problems that we forget to view the other person’s point._

#5. _Without even trying to understand the motive, we make our judgments._

#6. _We should never judge others by their “No” because we don’t know their story._

#7. _You don’t know what good is hidden for you behind it._

*Always RESPECT THE "NO."*
*Pause, and think about it deeply before you pass any judgments about it in your mind*.

Story :
A 6 yr old boy was in the market with his 4 yr old sister. Suddenly the boy found that his sister was lagging behind.

He stopped and looaked back. His sister was standing in front of a toy shop and was watching something with great interest.

The boy went back to her and asked, “Do you want something?” The sister pointed at the doll. The boy held her hand and like a responsible elder brother, gave that doll to her. The sister was very very happy…

The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured behaviour of the boy…

Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “What is the cost of this doll, Sir? !”

The shopkeeper was a cool man and had experienced the odds of life. So he asked the boy with a lot of love & affection, “Well, What can you pay?”

The boy took out all the shells that he had collected from sea shore, from his pocket and gave them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took the shells and started counting as if he were counting the currency. Then he looked at the boy. The boy asked him worriedly, “Is it less?”

The shopkeeper said, “No, No… These are more than the cost. So I will return the remaining.” Saying so, he kept only 4 shells with him and returned the remaining.

The boy, very happily kept those shells back in his pocket and went away with his sister.

A servant in that shop got very surprised watching all these. He asked his master, “Sir ! You gave away such a costly doll just for 4 shells ???”

The shopkeeper said with a smile, “Well, for us these are mere shells.

But for that boy, these shells are very precious. And at this age he does not understand what money is, but when he will grow up, he definitely will. And when he would remember that he purchased a doll with the Shells instead of Money, he will remember me and think that world is full of Good people.

It will help him develop a positive attitude and he too in turn will feel motivated to be Good.”

Mind Mantra – Whatever emotion you infuse into the world, it will further spread. If you do good, goodness will spread. If you do bad, negativity will spread.

Realize you are a very powerful source of energy.

Your goodness will come back to you magnified.
