A LOVELY MESSAGE

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a
loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was
around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.
He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it
in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the
matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its
color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for
adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to
the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how
to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he
looked at his wife and uttered just five words.


QUESTIONS
:
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?


ANSWER :

The husband just said "I am with you Darling"

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior.
The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother.
Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not
have happened.
No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed
at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what
he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be
much fewer problems in the world. "
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Take off all your envies, jealousies,unforgiv eness, selfishness, and
fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you
think.

MORAL OF THE STORY
Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame,
whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way
we miss out something
