CHARACTER – ASSET OF LIFE

There was a cruel, animalistic natured human lived in a village with long list of sinful deeds like murder, theft, trafficking, etc. He lived in seclusion so that he might not be identified by his wicked activities.

One day, an unusual incident occurred. His door was knocked by someone. With fear in his heart, the thief opened the door. He could observe a serene faced motherly woman with tears in her face stood before him. Expecting help, she asked, “I have lost my son long ago when we went for an excursion. I am searching for him past 10 years, Have you ever observed him?” On speaking thus, she stretched her hand with a photo of his son. The hard minded thief asked, “How many sons do you have?” Mother replied, “Ten sons.” Surprised, the thief queried astonishingly, “What made you to travel ten years in search of a son when you posses 10 sons to make pleasure living?” The mother replied, “Because, he was the only good natured son!”

The mother’s answer stroke new emotional thunder in the hard cored human and became a new revelation about the honest, virtuous living to him.

RULE IT TURNS: Character is a pride of life. Just make a small introspection “What is the gain we attain in helping a poor man?” The intension behind such noble action is not a financial gain but an emotional gain. Character is the mantra portrayed in every religious scripture. One of the famous books on success living had a statement, “Talents will help us achieve success but character will keep us successful.”

Money gives position in society of men but character gives position in hearts of men.
