A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boys father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.

On seeing him, the father yelled, Why did you take all this time to come? Dont you know that my sons life is in danger? Dont you have any sense of responsibility?

The doctor smiled and said, I am sorry, I wasnt in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish youd calm down so that I can do my work.

Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for doctor than what will you do?? said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied, We will do our best by Gods grace and you should also pray for your sons healthy life.

Giving advises when were not concerned is so easy Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, Thank goodness! your son is saved! And without waiting for the fathers reply he carried on his way running by saying, If you have any questions, ask the nurse.

Why is he so arrogant? He couldnt wait some minutes so that I ask about my sons state Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left. The nurse answered, tears coming down her face, His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your sons surgery. And now that he saved your sons life, he left running to finish his sons burial.

Moral: Never judge anyone because you never know how their life is and what theyre going through.

Once two friends were walking through the forest. They knew that anything dangerous can happen to them at any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would remain united in any case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear approaching them. One of the friends at once climbed a nearby tree. But the other one did not know how to climb. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man.

The bear came near the man lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place. Because the bears do not touch the dead creatures. Now the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground, Friend, what did the bear tell you into your ears? The other friend replied, The bear advised me not to believe a false friend.

Moral: True Friend is the one who always supports and stands by you in any situation.

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didnt know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.

Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

Turning to her, he asked. Daughter, what do you see? Potatoes, eggs and coffee, she hastily replied.

Look closer, he said, and touch the potatoes. She did and noted that they were soft.

He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.

Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

Father, what does this mean? she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity-the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

Which one are you? he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Moral: In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is how you choose to react to it and what you make out of it. Life is all about leaning, adopting and converting all the struggles that we experience into something positive.
