The Dreaming Priest

These motivational stories will encourage you to follow your dreams, treat others with kindness, and never give up on yourself.

Long time ago there lived a priest who was extremely lazy and poor at the same time. He did not want to do any hard work but used to dream of being rich one day. He got his food by begging for alms. One morning he got a pot of milk as part of the alms. He was extremely delighted and went home with the pot of milk. He boiled the milk, drank some of it and put the remaining milk in a pot. He added slight curds in the pot for converting the milk to curd. He then lay down to sleep.

Soon he started imagining about the pot of curd while he lay asleep. He dreamed that if he could become rich somehow all his miseries would be gone. His thoughts turned to the pot of milk he had set to form curd. He dreamed on; "By morning the pot of milk would set, it would be converted to curd. I would churn the curd and make butter from it. I would heat the butter and make ghee out of it. I will then go to that market and sell that ghee, and make some money. With that money i will buy a hen. The hen will lay may eggs which will hatch and there will be many chicken. These chicken will in turn lay hundreds of eggs and I will soon have a poultry farm of my own." He kept on imagining.

"I will sell all the hens of my poultry and buy some cows, and open a milk dairy. All the town people will buy milk from me. I will be very rich and soon I shall buy jewels. The king will buy all the jewels from me. I will be so rich that I will be able to marry an exceptionally beautiful girl from a rich family. Soon I will have a handsome son. If he does any mischief I will be very angry and to teach him a lesson, I will hit him with a big stick."During this dream, he involuntarily picked up the stick next to his bed and thinking that he was beating his son, raised the stick and hit the pot. The pot of milk broke and he awoke from his day dream.

Moral: There is no substitute for hard work. Dreams cannot be fulfilled without hard work.

CULTURE AND MATURITY..................

An Indian based in Bangalore flew to Sweden for an important meeting at his head office. A colleague, a Swede, picked him up from his hotel and drove down to their office. They reached pretty early and found many vacant parking bays; however, the Swede went on to the farthest parking bay to park his car.

The Indian couldn’t hide his amazement at this seemingly "strange behavior" and asked him why he did that when many empty parking bays were available closer to the office building. Prompt came the response, “well, those are for people who may come in late for whatever reason, park quickly and reach the office on time.”

What the Swede found normal seemed strange to another person who was not used to this empathetic behavior. This is not about where you park your car. This is about empathy and carrying people along with you so that everyone wins

Empathy is sadly lacking in many places – families, corporates, and finally, the country. It doesn’t cost much to practice or lead with empathy, but we can make a big difference to people around us by doing so. Not only will we all be more productive, but we will be happier people.😊😊
