Invaluable Life


Jackson was neighbour of Rudolf. Both were engineer, and there was no deficit of anything in both families.

There was a lot of difference between Jackson and Rudolf’s behaviour. Jackson was soft spoken, calm and always had a gentle smile on her face. On the other hand, Rudolf got irritated and tensed by little things. Whenever Rudolf met Jackson, his heart always wanted to adopt same behaviour and qualities as those of Jackson, but after much practice Rudolf couldn’t change his behaviour.

One day, Rudolf was scolding his child, named Sam; because Sam had broken his toy car. At that instant, Jackson reached Rudolf’s home and saw, Rudolf was scolding his child. As seeing Jackson, Rudolf remained little bit silent but Jackson had recognized the situation. 

Jackson called Sam and asked– Do you know why your father is scolding you?

For a minute, Sam remained silent as he didn’t know what to answer. 

Then Jackson sweetly explained him– Your father bought this toy car so that you can play with it; can look after your things and become a responsible person. When you broke that car, your father got angry and scolding you, but he is also sadden.

By listening this, Sam soon realized and promptly apologized to his father for his mistake. 

Then Jackson calmly told Sam to promise that now he would take care of his things because to look after our things is a good habit.

Sam promised his father that he would take care of his things and never him suffer any pain. 

Hearing those words from his son, Rudolf hugged him tightly and said- He will also not punish him from today. 

Then Sam went to his room happily.

After that, Rudolf thanked Jackson by clasping him into his arms and said- You had given Sam good education which I couldn’t give him in my anger.

Today Rudolf couldn’t stop himself by asking Jackson, how he remained so calm? 

He told Jackson that he also practiced becoming like him but he couldn’t. He requested Jackson to guide him so that he could also behave like him.

Jackson answered lovingly- It is very simple. You can achieve all this very easily. You would have many expectations and grudges that life has not given me this, life should be like this, but I don’t have any complaint from life. I think life has given us existence, what else we need!
Now how we lead our life that is in our hand, living peacefully or in tension. If you live your life in such a happy way, your life will be better and have no grouch with life. In life, happiness and sorrow go hand-in-hand and I accept it as levels of my life. Whether it is happiness or sorrow, it teaches me something.

By listening these words, Rudolf gained priceless knowledge of making his life better.

Dear Friends, Never complaint about Life, but do something for Life. God has given us Invaluable Life; it's upon us how we lead it. Thank You.
