LIFE?

DEAR ALL,

Ho Chi Minh, the National Hero of Vietnam wrote in one of his
reminiscence, When I was nine years old I failed in the school examination. I
was very sad to see my poor exam results. My life seemed worthless and the
entire world appeared to be dry and unstimulating, because of this mental
turmoil and despair I thought of committing suicide. All my family members
loved me a lot and they were all pained to see my disappointment. My father
counseled me and tried to talk some sense into me, mother showed me great
affection, the family priest gave many spell proven fruits, but everything
proved futile and meaningless. I passed the days in discomfort and nights
without sleep. One day I quietly ran away from home.

When I was passing
near a Buddhist Monastery I heard a monk singing a melodious poem, which
touched my heart. He was singing, Why the water doesnt get muddy? Because it
flows. Why do not the obstacles come in the path of water? Because it flows.
Why does a drop of water becomes a waterfall, a waterfall becomes a stream, a
stream becomes a river, and a river becomes a sea? Because it flows. Therefore
my life you do not stop, keep flowing, keep flowing. For a long time I kept
standing speechless. When I returned I was like flowing water, even today I am
like flowing water. I go all over the place and spread whatever pace is left in
me because I am like flowing water, I am on the move.

Moral: Never get
disheartened on the failure of an achievement and never let the negative
thoughts dominate you instead taking lesson from your failure progress towards
another better goal. Being in motion is life and being motionless is death.
