One of my friend suggested me a short and beautiful story for my blog..
Thanks Nitesh for this beautiful suggestion...

A tired man came home late form his whole day hard work. His 5 year old son was waiting for him at the door.

Son- "Dad, may i ask you a question?"
Dad- "Yes."
Son- "Dad how much do you make an hour ?"
Dad- "That's not your business."
Son- "Please tell me."
Dad- "20$ per hour."
Son- "Dad, may i please borrow 10$?"

Dad got angry and shouted on kid to go the bed.
The little boy went to the room and shut the door.

After some time man got calm and he went to kid's room and said sorry for being so hard.
"Here's your 10$ you asked for."
Kid smiled- "oh thank you daddy !!"
Then boy took out some coins he had kept under the pillow. He counted them and said-
"Dad, i have 20$ now. Can i buy an hour early tomorrow . I would like to have dinner with you".

What i learnt- Please give some time to people who loves you.

'6th December' every year i always wait for this day.... its my birthday.
But this year something was waiting for me... it was the lesson which is to be learnt by me. The lesson which open my eyes towards cruelty.

It was 12 am in the night every one wished me... After wishing me every one meant sleeping.
Suddenly i heard something, i heard some screaming sound of cows, i went to my balcony and i saw some men were loading cows in the truck and they were beating them very badly that i can't even describe how badly they were doing all this.
At that moment i felt so helpless that i can't do anything...
If someone beats those men like they were doing with the cows, i am sure in return they will retaliate..


What i learnt - we should be 'compassionate'...
   

I want to share one story which i read a few days back.
The story was like this...

REST IN PEACE : THE "I CAN'T" FUNERAL

There was a fourth grade classroom teacher name called Donna. In addition she was a volunteer participant in a county-wide staff development project. She had to organized and facilitated. The training focused on language arts ideas that would empower student to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna's job was to attend training sessions, her job was to make classroom visitations and encourage implementation.
She took an empty seat in the back of the room and ask to work on the task, filling a sheet with thoughts and ideas. The ten year-old student closest to her was filling her page with "I can'ts".
         "I can't kick the soccer ball past second base."
         "I can't do long division with more than three numerals."
         " I can't get Debbie to like me".
her page was half full and she showed no signs of  letting up.
she walked down the row glancing at students papers. Everyone was writing describing things they couldn't do.
    "I can't do ten push-ups."
    "I can't  eat only one cookie."
Then she decided to check with teacher to see what was going on. As she approached her, she too was busy in writing "i can't" list.
After finishing this activity student were instructed to fold there papers and place their "I can't" statement into an empty shoe box. When all papers were collected she headed out the door. Donna marched the student to the farthest corner of playground. There they began to dig.
They were going to bury their "I can'ts".
Donna announced, 'boys and girl please join hand and bow your head".Donna delivered the eulogy...

"Friends, we gather today to honor the memory of  "I can't". While he was with us on earth, he touched the lives of every one, some more than others. His name, unfortunately has been spoken in every public building, school, city halls, state capitols and yes, even the white house.
"We have provided 'I can't' with final resting place and a headstone that contain his epitaph. He is survived by his brother and sister, 'I Can' , 'I Will' and 'I' m going to right away'. They are not as well known as their famous relative and are certainly not as strong and powerful yet. Perhaps some day, with your help, they will make even bigger mark on the world.
"May 'I Can't' rest in peace and may everyone present pick up their lives and move forward in his absence. Amen".

The activity was symbolic, a metaphor for life. It was a right brain experience that would stick in the unconscious and conscious mind forever...


What i learnt - There is nothing I CAN'T...

Last week one night at 11pm i was thinking about blog.. what should i write in it, what should be its name.
Suddenly my mom called me up and she ask me to look out side the window and i saw a heart melting view.
The view was an old man was walking in a squatting position haltingly holding food in his hand. Then my mom told me that she saw him when she was in the market, the time must be around 7 pm. that old man was walking slowly towards market. He was walking so slow that it took him four and a half hr to buy his food and returning back home. when i saw him he was still on the way towards home. At that particular point of time i feel so blessed that i am completely physically fine, no mental problem, no financial problem nothing...
But after all this why we always keep on complaining god, why we always blame him for all the problems we have in our life, why we cry out on every petty issues...
At that point of time i made up my mind that when i'll achieve something in my life no matter what in future whatever i can do i'll do something for them. what god has given me i am gonna share it with them.
after making up my mind for such good cause i dozed off. Next day in the morning again that heart melting view came in my mind and then this incident definitely  proved to be the inspiration for my blog....



What i learnt - Always share your happiness what god has given you, and always admire what you have in your life....             

INTRODUCTION

the day before yesterday i was reading a book....
And i read something interesting
"You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called LIFE. Each day in this school you will have opportunity to learn lessons. you may like lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid. there are no mistakes only lessons. these lessons are repeated until learned. when you have learned it, you can go to the next lessons. there is no part of life that does not contain lessons. you will learn lessons till you are alive".

this blog will further contain lessons which life teaches me every single day. that's why the blog name is 'reflections'.
i hope you will learn something from lessons of life......
