Reveal to Conceal

A story is told about two utensils that were placed side by side on kitchen table. One of them was covered with a lid while the other was left open. Soon the open utensil began to collect dust. In an attempt to avoid dirt, the open utensil pulled the lid off teh closed one to cover itself and thus exposed the contents of the closed utensil.

Reflection

How often do we reveal the faults of other people to conceal our errors in life?

It Takes Courage

A King appointed a learned man to teach his son and ordered him to daily report on his progress. Whenever the report was good and the prince was praised, the king was pleased with the man. But on the days when he brought the prince’s faults to his attention, the king would be displeased with the learned man.

Reflection

We welcome flatters and disregard those who tell us the truth.

It takes courage to accept one’s faults in life or those of a dear one.

That’s what Friends are for!

An old man advised his children as follows:
“Friendship,” he said, “is not bestowing gifts but reaching out in times of crisis. It understands another with tremendous patience and self sacrificing love. A friend is one who gives good advice, cares, corrects and encourages another friend to grow. He expresses concern about his sorrows without envying his achievements. Friendship is fragile and yet it is durable. It can withstand the onslaughts of slander, gossip, malice and threats because true friendship is founded on love.”

Work is worship

Sakaram worked as a peon in an office for over thirty years. He was a office for over thirty years. He was a sincere worker and an honest person, especially with money.

However, Sakaram had many personal problems which brought about his addiction to drinks chewing tobacco. Although he had a negative leave balance and a track record for being drunk on duty sometimes, he was in employment because of his good work. He also enjoyed the favor of many of his colleagues.

Into thy hands, Lord

I always say I am a little pencil in God’s hands. He does the thinking. He does the writing. He does everything and sometimes it is really hard because it is a broken pencil and he has to sharpen it a little more. Be a little instrument in His hands so that He can use you anytime, anywhere. We have only to say “yes” to God.
Mother Teresa

Reflection
If we remember the words of a hymn: “All I ask of you is forever to remember me as loving you,” and seek God’s grace to comprehend the depth of their meaning then we will readily in silence, surrender our will to God.

Wall of Fame Members

Yesterday, when I was watching the serial left right left yesterday, I noticed that naina singh, sister of late cadet naveen singh is happy to see her brother’s picture on “Wall of Fame”. I remembered Hall of Fame members on ibibo.

gift for teachers

Do know when will students understand the importance of faculties? I hope students learn something from Taare Zameen Par and learn from that movie as to what teachers want exactly!

I liked the scene where the Ishaan gets a reward for his painting and all the teachers burst into tears. I also started crying. I started thinking, when the students will understand that the golden gift for a teacher is good marks.

Where are the dustbins?

Continuation of my earlier Blog………

I never throw the waste on the roads. What I do is, I put the wrapper or the waste in my bag. If I see any dustbins, I throw the waste in. If I do not, then I go home and throw it.

I also tell my students to pick the waste from the ground and throw it in the dustbin. Its good to learn environmental science in college too. If you learn in college too, you never feel shy to clean the other places.
