Once a man was walking in a forest and he happened to see an exotic bird, being very charmed by it and wanting to have it as a pet, he tip toed towards it from behind and caught it.

To his utter surprise, the bird started talking and it said to him, “Please release me, in return I shall give you three gems – three valuable pieces of advice that can transform your life.”

I will give you first one only when you let me go.

The second one when I fly up to that branch and the third one when I fly up high to the very top of the tree.

The man instantly agreed and released the bird.

As soon as it was free the bird started flying up as it said.

“Here is the first gem, my first piece of advice - Do not torture, torment and burden yourself with excessive regret for your past mistakes.”

As the man pondered over what he was just heard, the bird flew up and sat on a branch and spoke back.

“And the second one is – Do not believe on anything that goes against common sense unless you have first hand proof.”

The man then saw the bird fly to the very top of the crown of the tree.

It started laughing and said to the man,

“You are a fool. Within my body are two huge jewels. If you would have kept me and killed me instead of letting me go, you would have been the master of these precious jewels.”

“Oh my God!” the man exclaimed.

“How could I have been so stupid?”

“Oh bird, can you at least give me your last the third piece of advice?”

The bird replied, “I was just testing you. You are asking me for further advice, but did you ever realize that you already disregarded the earlier two pieces of advice I gave you.”

First, I told you not to torment yourself with excessive regret for past mistakes and yet you just tormented yourself with regret for letting me go.

And second, I told you not to believe in things that go against common sense unless there is first hand proof and you disregarded that advice as well for some reasons believing that there could be two huge jewels inside a tiny bird like me?

But since you have asked me now for third piece of advice here it is –

If you are not applying what you already know, why are you so intent to gaining what you do not know.

Saying so the bird flew away as the man received this three jewels that will positively change his life to come.

Friends, never forget these three things.

We all make mistakes, don’t be too harsh to yourself and keep punishing and tormenting yourself for what was already been done and that can not be undone.

Learn your lessons and move on.

Be sharp, be smart, don’t evaluate things by face value.

Use your reasons, your discretion before you accept and trust something or someone.

And lastly, if you do not digest what you have received by applying it you are not ready for more.

Life gives you more only when you use what you have rightly.
