Keep an open Mind...



Once upon a time, there was a kingdom.

There the king only had one leg and one eye, but he was very intelligent and kind.

Everyone in his kingdom lead a happy and healthy life because of their king.

One day the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the portraits of his ancestors.

He thought that one day his children will walks in the same hallway and remember all the ancestors through these portraits.

But, the king did not have his portrait painted. Due to his physical disabilities, he wasn’t sure how his painting would turn out.

So he invited many famous painters from his and another kingdoms to the court.

The king then announced that he want a beautiful portrait made of him to be place in the palace.

Any painter who can carry out this should come forward; he will be rewarded based on how the painting turns up.

All of the painters begin to think that the king only has one leg and one eye.

How can his picture be made very beautiful?

It is not possible and if the picture does not turn out to look beautiful then the king will be angry and punish them.

So one by one, all started to make excuses and politely declined to make a painting of the king.

But certainly one painter raised his hand and said that I will make a very beautiful portrait of you which you will surely like.

The king became happy hearing that and other painters got curious.

The king gave him permission and the painter started drawing the portrait.

Finally after taking long time, he said that the portrait was ready!

All of the countries, other painters were curious and nervous thinking…

How can the painter make the king’s portrait beautiful because the king is physically disabled?

What if the king didn’t like the painting? Gets angry?

But when the painter presented the portrait, everyone in the court including the king left stunned.

The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on a horse, on the one leg side, holding his bow and aiming the arrow with his one eye closed.

The king was very pleased to see that the painter had made a beautiful portrait by cleverly hiding the king’s disabilities.

The king gave him a great reward,

                                           Moral of the story –

We should always think positive of others and ignore their deficiency.

We should learn to focus on the good things instead of trying to show the weakness.

If we think and approach positively event in a negative situation, then we will be able to solve our problems more efficiently.

Everything Happens For a Reason...

Once upon a time, there was a King who loved to hunt. One day whilst hunting, the king shot a wild leopard. The king ran towards it to see if it was dead or not, when suddenly the nearly dead leopard jumped up and attacked the king. The chief servant managed to kill the leopard but couldn’t prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious, the king said his servant, “If God was good, I would not have been attacked and I certainly wouldn’t have lost a finger!” The servant replied, “Despite all of these things, I can only tell you that God is great and everything happens is for good. Everything God does is perfect and He is never wrong.” Outraged by his response, the king asked the servant, “If I put you in prison, would you still think that is best for you?” The servant without fear, humbly replied, “Yes my Lord! I would still think that is the best arrangement for me.” The now enraged king ordered that the servant be imprisoned at once. Three ...
