1. Everyone has a story in life
A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train's window shouted...
"Dad, look the trees are going behind!"
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old's childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed...
"Dad, look the clouds are running with us!"
The couple couldn't resist and said to the old man...
"Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?" The old man smiled and said... "I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got this eyes today."
Every single person on the planet has a story. Don't judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

A man's favorite donkey falls into a deep hole; he can't pull the animal out no matter how hard he tries.. he therefore decides to bury the donkey alive.
Soil is poured onto the donkey from above. The donkey feels the load, shakes it off, and steps on it. More soil is poured.
The donkey shakes it off and steps up. The more the load was poured, the higher the animal rose. By noon, the donkey was grazing in green pastures.
After much shaking off (of problems) and stepping up (learning from them), one will graze in GREEN PASTURES.

As a man was passing the elephants; he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. "Well, " the trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller, we used the same size rope to tie them, and at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free."
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?
Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

MORAL OF THE STORY :
i) Never judge a book by its cover.
ii) You may be sad if you fail, but you fail if you do not try at all.
