The Gift
Gopal was once taken to court by a man who claimed
that he owned the land on which Gopal's house stood.
Gopal had the
documents to prove that he owned the land but he knew that the judge who was to
try the case was corrupt and could be bought. Gopal decided to take a gift for
the judge.
At the
hearing, the complainant stated his case and then taking out a fat wallet from
one pocket transferred it to another in a slow and deliberate manner. The judge
understood. He looked at Gopal as if to ask him if he could match the offer.
In answer,
Gopal patted his own pocket. The judge was pleased to see that it was bulging.
He could make out the outlines of two large objects in it and he felt sure they
were gold ornaments.
He gave a
verdict in Gopal's favour and called him to his chambers. Gopal went round to
the judge's chambers and began to thank him for deciding the case in his
favour. But the judge cut him short with an impatient gesture of his hand.
"The
gift," he snapped. "Give me whatever you have brought for me!"
Gopal took
out two large stones from his pocket and gave them to him.
Encouraging Story: YOU ARE
PRICELESS TO THOSE WHO LOVE YOU
A well-known
speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 note. In the room of 200,
he asked, "Who would like this $20 note?" Hands started going up.
He said,
"I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do
this." He proceeded to crumple up the $20 note. He asked, "Who still
wants it?" Still hands were up in the air.
"Well,
what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it
into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty and
asked, "Who still wants it?" Still hands went up into the air.
My friends, we
have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what was done to the money,
it was still wanted because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth
$20.
Many times in
our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions
we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may feel as though we are
worthless.
But no matter
what has happened or will happen, you will never lose your value: dirty or
clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love
you.
