A famous writer was in his study room. He
picked up his pen and started writing:
Last year, I had a surgery
and my gall bladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this
surgery for a long time.
The same year I reached the age of 60 years and
had to give up my favorite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this
publishing company.
The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my
father.
And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had
a car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several
days. The destruction of car was another loss.
At the end he wrote:
Alas! It was such bad
year!!
When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and placed it on side of her husband's writing. When the writer saw this paper, he found this written on it:
Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain.
I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now
I can utilize my time to write something better with more focus and peace.
The
same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without
any critical condition met his Creator.
The same year, God blessed my
son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without
getting any disability.
At the end she wrote:
This year was an immense
blessing of God and it passed well!!
See!! The same incidents but different
viewpoints. If we ponder with this viewpoint that what could have happened
more, we would truly become thankful to the Almighty.
Moral: In daily lives we must see that it’s not
happiness that makes us grateful but gratefulness that makes
us happy. There is always,always, always something
to be thankful for, besides new highs for the market cheers.
