Motivational Stories: Part Thirteen

By Raja Sharma

In this fast paced world, people hardly get time to pause and think about the forces which motivate or retard them. They are immersed in their works so deeply, earning and arranging that there is hardly any time for them to read the stories which children used to read in the past.

In this fast paced world, people hardly get time to pause and think about the forces which motivate or retard them. They are immersed in their works so deeply, earning and arranging that there is hardly any time for them to read the stories which children used to read in the past.

Nowadays, most of the children are lost in the world of electronic gadgets, course books, and the things which they think will make them successful in future, which is obviously told them by their elders. Gone are those elders who used to sit with their children to tell them beautiful inspiring stories.

I am trying to add my share by reviving some of those stories in this series. These short stories are not only interesting, but also highly inspiring and motivating.

If you are really serious about your children, I mean if you want to make them good human beings, besides seeing them successful in their respective careers, kindly tell them these stories. You will begin to see the magical effects of these stories on the young minds of your children.

There was a small box inside the wrapper. He was disappointed, but he opened the box. He found a lovely; leather bound Bible in the box. The young man’s name was embossed in gold.
