Inspiring Story

Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter" ... and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one", and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.


The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.

A touching story

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door..

Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question"
Daddy: "Yeah sure, what it is?"
Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"
Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
Daddy: "I make Rs. 500 an hour""Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down.

Looking up, he said, "Dad, may I please borrow Rs. 300?"The father was furious,"if the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some moneyto buy a silly toy or other nonsense, then march yourself to your room and go to bed.Think why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior"The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions.How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down,and started to think:"May be there was something he really needed to buy with that
Rs. 300 and he really didn't ask for money very often!"

The man went to the door of little boy's room and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" He asked."No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy."I've been thinking, may be I was too hard on you earlier", said the man,"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.Here's the Rs.300 you asked for"The little boy sat straight up, smiling "oh thank you dad!" He yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up notes.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father."Why do you want money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied."Daddy I have Rs. 500 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you"

Salesman of Coca Cola
A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle Eastassignment.A friend asked, “Why weren’t you successful with the Arabs?”
The salesman explained, "When I got posted in the Middle East, I wasvery confident that I will make good sales pitch as Cola is virtuallyunknown there.
But, I had a problem I didn't know to speak Arabic. So,I planned to convey the message through 3 posters...
First poster, a man crawling through the hot desert sand... totallyexhausted and fainting. Second, the man is drinking our Cola and
Third,our man is now totally refreshed.
Then these posters were pasted all overthe place""That should have worked," said the friend.

The salesman replied, "Well, not only did I not speak Arabic, I also didn't realize that Arabs read from right to left..."

Failure

Failure is not fatal.Failure should be our teacher, nor our undertaker.It should challenge us to new heights of accomplishments,not pull us to new depths of despair.From honest failure can come valuable experience. ~William Arthur Ward~

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorioustriumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rankwith those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much,because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.~
Theodore Roosevelt~

Fall seven times, stand up eight. ~Japanese proverb~

friends forever

Its friendship.......

When a person calls u by a stupid name and never by ur own name.....
When they always get angry,
whenever u tell them that u r busy and cant reply...
When they tell u everything about themselves even if its embarrassing...
When they come to c u, whenever they get a chance....
When u argue with each other on stupid things and then end up laughing....


Celebrate ur friends......

So, I made a mistake.Mistakes happen. Not only do they happen, they are guaranteed.

the only way you won't make mistakes isif you don't do anything, and that itself is a mistake.

Too many are afraid to try something new because they feel theymight make an error. They are both right and wrong. Yes, theywill probably make errors but it is good to understand that errors go with the territory.You will never accomplish great or worthwhile things withoutrisk and risk generally means great mistake potential.

You are probably reading this by light bulbs invented by ThomasEdison. He made over a thousand light bulbs that didn't work.The world would have called them mistakes. He said he learned athousand ways not to make a light bulb.

The way to avoid mistakes is experience.The way to get experience – Mistakes.Don't feel bad because you messed up with something.Don't be afraid to venture out into a good thing because you are afraid that you might mess up.
While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, another is busy making mistakes and becoming superior............Henry C. Link
An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.....Niels Bohr (1885-1962).
We have to keep trying things we're not sure we can pull off. Ifwe just do the things we know we can do... you don't grow as much. You gotta take those chances on making those big mistakes.Cybill Shepherd

Finally in this computer world on misteaks…
Dew knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl yore mistakes.

A cute story

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Untiring love

This is a true story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tore open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, felt pity, and at the same time he was curious. When he checked the nail, turns out, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened?
The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it had been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appeared another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ahh! He was stunned and at the same time, touched deeply. Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years...

Such love, such a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature...
What can love do?
It can do wonders!
Love can do miracles!
Just think about it; one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.
