Short Inspirational Story - Never Give Up

Short Inspirational Story - Never Give Up

A frog was hopping about a farmyard, when it determined to examine the barn. Being rather hasty, and maybe a little too inquisitive, he ended up falling into a pail half-filled with fresh milk.

At the same time as he swimming to reach the top of the pail, he discovered that the sides of the pail were too high and very steep for him to reach. 

He tried to stretch his back legs to push off the base of the pail but found it too deep. But this frog was indomitable and he wouldn’t give up, so he continued to fight.

He kicked and struggled and kicked and struggled, until at last, all his stirring about in the milk had turned the milk into a big lump of butter. The butter was now firm enough for him to climb onto and get out of the pail!

The Moral of The Story? "Never Give Up!"

Short Inspirational Story - BUILDING BRIDGES

Short Inspirational Story - BUILDING BRIDGES

A long time ago two brothers who lived on next-door on a farm fell into conflict. It was the first serious clash between them in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing equipment, and trading manual labor and merchandise as required with no hindrance whatsoever.

Then the long alliance destroyed. It started with a small quarrel but it slowly cultivated into a major difference, and finally it resulted into a swapping of sour words and weeks of silence.

One fine day, early in the morning there was a thump on John's door. He opened the door to discover a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I need a few days work," he said.

"Perchance you would have some small jobs around the farm. Could I facilitate you?"

"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have some work for you. Glance across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbor, in fact, he’s my younger brother. Last week there was a pasture linking us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this out of spitefulness for me, but I'll go him one better. See that pile of lumber curing by the barn? I want you to build me a fence - an 8-foot fence - so I won't need to see his place anymore. Cool him down, nonetheless."

The carpenter said, "I think I comprehend the circumstances. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that delights you."

The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the resources geared up and then he was off for the day. 

The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing.

About sundown when the farmer arrived, the carpenter had just completed his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped.

There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge... a bridge elongated from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work handrails and all - and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand stretched out.

"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."

The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.

"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build."

Short Inspirational Story - A POUND OF BUTTER

A POUND OF BUTTER

 “Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.” ~ Socrates

There was a farmer who used to sell a pound of butter to a baker. One day the baker thought of weighing the butter to see if he was getting a pound as promised however to his surprise and he found that he was not getting the full pound.

Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.~ Lao Tzu

This made him very angry and he took the farmer to court. The farmer was asked by the judge if he was using any measure. 

The farmer responded, your Honor, I am primeval. I don't have a appropriate measure, but I do have a scale."

The judge then asked the farmer, "Then how do you weigh the butter?" The farmer replied "Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Each day when the baker brings me the bread, I put it on the scale and offer him the equivalent weight in butter. If anyone is to be held responsible, it is the baker."

The more people rationalize cheating, the more it becomes a culture of dishonesty. And that can become a vicious, downward cycle. Because suddenly, if everyone else is cheating, you feel a need to cheat, too.

~Stephen Covey

Therefore the moral of the story is…….We tend to get back in life what we offer to other people. Every time you take an action, ask yourself this question: Am I being fair and honest, would I feel ok if the same happens to me. Some people practice deceitfulness and can lie with a straight face. Others lie so much that they don't even know what the reality is any longer. But who are they misleading? Themselves.

Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.

~John D. MacDonald
