An engineer in a car manufacturing company designed a world class car. The owner was impressed with the outcome and showered him with praises.
While trying to take the car from the manufacturing area to the front office, they realised that the car is few inches taller than the entrance.
The engineer felt bad that he didn’t put that into consideration before creating the car.
The owner was at loss on how to take the car out of the manufacturing area.
The painter suggested they force out the car and then repaint the few scratches this will cause to the top of the car.
The engineer suggested that they break the entrance and after taking the car out, they can renovate it.
The owner was not convinced with any of the ideas. He felt that it is not good enough to break or scratch.
The watchman, who has watching all the drama, slowly approached the owner. He wanted to give an idea if they have no problem taking it.
They thought what is it that this guy have to say that the experts have not said. They allowed him, nonetheless.
The watchman said that the car is only few inches taller than the entrance so if they let out some air from the tyre, the height of the car will reduce and can be easily taken out.
Everyone there was surprised and clapped in appreciation of his ingenuity.
Don’t approach problems only from the expert point of view. There is always a layman point that may provide needed solution.
Everyone around your life has a key role in your life.

A girl by name Deepa went to school in the neighbouring village where she wasn’t known well.

For three weeks, she came to school late and every time the teacher punished her.

On the fourth week, Deepa didn’t attend school at all and many thought she had GIVEN UP on school due to the everyday punishment.

However, Deepa reported again on fifth week and this time she came earlier than everybody.

When the teacher came to class, Deepa was punished for not attending school the previous week but the teacher was also kind enough to commend her for coming early that day, stating that the punishments had finally yielded some results.

Just then, Deepa asked if she could say something and the teacher gave her permission.

She started :

” I’ve been raised up by a single mother without a brother or a sister. Five weeks ago, my mother fell ill and was hospitalized. The three weeks I came late, I had to prepare something for her every morning and pass by the hospital to deliver the same. Unfortunately, my mother passed away last week and that’s the reason I didn’t come to school. We buried her last Friday. Today I came early since I didn’t have to prepare anything or even pass by the hospital. And now that she is gone, I will always be here early”

As she sat down, no one in the whole class was able to hold their tears, the teacher was not spared either.

Lesson:

How many times do we judge others for things we know not ?

We ask questions like :

– Why you are not getting married?
– Why you are not having kids ?
– When will you find a job ?
– When will you buy a car?
– When will you build a house?
etc….

Do we attempt to understand their situations or we just judge from the case scenarios

Some situations are not relative and what we think could be very far from the truth.

Don’t assume you know what others go through or that people move in the same pace or direction as you.

Life is far from that..

Just be kind enough to love one another as God has commanded, take time and kindly find out why your friend is not phoning, why your messages are not being replied promptly, why someone is missing in our midst as a colleague, friend, brother or sister even why someone is always late.

Be kind, always…… Be nice to others.
