Monday Morning Matters.....................

[Rajesh Thomas]

A building construction work was going on in the nearby area !

Lots of poor  labourers were working there and their children used to hold onto one another's shirt and play "train-train !"

Someone would become the engine and others would become bogies. Every day these children used to take turns becoming the engine and bogies ! But there was  one small boy wearing only a half pant who used to hold one small green cloth in his hand and become the guard daily ! Once I went to him and asked him, "dear, don't u also wish to become an engine or a bogie some time ?

He softly replied " Sir, I don't have a shirt to wear so how will the other children catch me to make the train ? I could see the slight wetness in his eyes! It gave me a lesson!

He could have cried and sat at home and abused his parents for not affording to buy  him a shirt.

But instead he chose another way to play and enjoy!

 

Moral of the story: In life, we don't get all things we desire and we keep complaining! I don’t have a bike,  I don't have car, I don't have this or that etc.! We need to make it beautiful and be satisfied with what we have! Stay  positive and be thankful to what we have and move forward.!
