Very Lazy boy


 

“if You’re Not Making Someone Else’s Life Better, Then You’re Wasting Your Time.” — Will Smith

Once upon a time, there was a young boy who lived in a small village. He was known to be very lazy and never took any initiative to do any work. One day, he decided to take a walk in the forest to clear his mind.

As he was walking, he saw a man trying to cut down a tree with a saw. The man was sweating and looked very tired. The boy asked him, "Why don't you take a break? You look exhausted." The man replied, "I can't take a break. I have to finish cutting down this tree by tonight."

The boy was intrigued and asked the man how long he had been working on the tree. The man replied, "I have been working on this tree for the past three days, and I still have a long way to go."

The boy was surprised and asked the man, "Why don't you use a sharper saw or ask for help?" The man replied, "I don't have a sharper saw, and I cannot ask for help as I have no money to pay for anyone's help."


The boy felt sorry for the man and decided to help him. He went back to his village and borrowed a sharper saw from a friend. He then went back to the man and started to help him cut down the tree.

Together, they worked hard and finally managed to cut down the tree by the end of the day. The man was very grateful to the boy and thanked him for his help. The boy felt proud of himself for making a difference in someone's life.

From that day on, the boy learned the value of hard work, determination, and the importance of helping others. He went on to become a successful businessman and a respected member of his community.


Moral of the story

All it takes is a little bit of help and support to achieve great things. By helping others, we not only make a difference in their lives but also in our own lives.

"The Journey to Enlightenment: A Story from Buddha's Teachings"

  Once, a young monk approached Buddha and asked, "Master, how can I achieve enlightenment?" Buddha replied, "Enlightenment cannot be achieved by simply asking for it. It is a journey that requires great effort and dedication." The young monk persisted and asked, "But how can I begin this journey?" Buddha replied, "The journey begins with mindfulness. You must learn to be fully present in every moment, to observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, and to cultivate compassion for all living beings." The young monk asked, "But how can I be mindful all the time?" Buddha said, "Start with small things. Focus on the sensation of your breath, the movement of your body, the taste of your food. Practice mindfulness in everything you do, and soon it will become a natural part of your being." The young monk took Buddha's words to heart and began to practice mindfulness in all aspects of his life. Over time, he ...

The Story of Ekalavya

Ekalavya was a young prince born to a tribal chief in the forest. Although he was not of royal birth, he had a deep desire to learn the art of archery from the great guru, Dronacharya, who taught the royal princes of Hastinapura. Ekalavya approached Dronacharya and expressed his wish to become his disciple. However, Dronacharya was bound by his duty to teach only the Kshatriya princes (warrior class) and refused Ekalavya's request. Undeterred, Ekalavya resolved to learn archery on his own. He fashioned a clay idol of Dronacharya and began practicing in the forest with utmost devotion. Ekalavya considered the idol his guru and practiced day and night, honing his archery skills to perfection. His dedication and hard work made him an exceptional archer. One day, while the princes of Hastinapura were out hunting in the forest, they stumbled upon Ekalavya's camp. Amazed by his skill, they approached him. Ekalavya paid his respects, and they asked him about his guru. He revealed that...

The Power of Wisdom and Compassion: A Story from Lord Buddha's Life

Image
  Once, Lord Buddha was traveling through a village when a man approached him and started insulting him with harsh words. The man hurled abuse at Lord Buddha, calling him a fake, a fraud and a charlatan. Lord Buddha remained calm and composed, and did not react to the man's insults. Instead, he listened patiently until the man had finished speaking. When the man had exhausted his anger, Lord Buddha calmly asked him a question, "If you offer someone a gift, and they refuse to accept it, to whom does the gift belong?" The man was taken aback by the Buddha's question and replied, "It would belong to me, as I am the one offering the gift." Lord Buddha smiled and said, "The same is true of your insults. If I do not accept them, they remain with you." The man was struck by the Buddha's wisdom and realized the futility of his anger and insults. He became a follower of Lord Buddha and dedicated the rest of his life to spreading his teachings....
