π Short story of the day π
π₯Potato egg π₯ and Coffee β beans:
A little boy named John lives in a beautiful home with his parents. One day, his father finds him crying and asks if something is wrong. John says meekly, βI have so many problems in life,β and talks about his βproblemsβ.
Johnβs father patiently listens to him. Then he brings a bowl and places a potato, an egg and some coffee beans in it. He asks John to touch and feel the ingredients in the bowl, and tell what he feels about them. John describes how he feels about each of them on touching.
The father smiles and asks John to place them all in three different bowls and pour water in them. He then boils them all. After a few minutes, the father turns off the stove and places all the bowls on the counter to cool them down.
When they have cooled down, Johnβs father asks him to touch them once again and feel the egg, potato, and coffee beans. John has a different answer this time. And he says, the potatoβs skin is easier to peel as it has turned very soft, the egg has hardened, and there is a fresh coffee aroma coming from the beans.
Listening to John, his father smiles and tells him how the potato, egg, and coffee beans reacted to adverse situations. The potato has become soft, the egg turned very strong, and the coffee beans have changed their form completely during their testing time in the boiling water.
Moral: Problems are a part of life. How we react to them makes us a better individual.

π Food of your mindπ
What food do you feed your mind? Poisonous food from negative people or mind-nourishing food from people with the right attitude? Negative attitude is contagious. Beware of the people you surround yourself with. Negative people only remind you constantly of your weaknesses, failures, the reasons why they think you can't do it, your inadequacies, etc. Stay away from them before they take you down with them. They will kill your dream and make you feel unworthy. You are an eagle; designed to fly high above the skies. Eagles don't mingle with ducks. Make a decision today to take your goals and dreams to the next level. I believe it's possible!"

π short story of the day π
π¦ Foolish Imitation:
Long ago, a hawk lived on the top of a hill. At the foot of the hill there was a banyan tree on which a crow used to perch everyday. The crow was very foolish. He would imitate everyone.
The hawk atop the hill would fly down everyday in search of food. The crow watched the hawk circling in the air for long hours and swooping down when he saw his prey. The hawk gifted with eyes that could see long distances would spot his prey from the hill top and then fly down to pounce upon the prey.
The crow watched the hawk thinking, βHunh! If the hawk can do that, I too can. What does he think? One day, I will show the hawk that I can do the same thing."
A few days later, as the hawk was circling in the air, the crow decided to do the same. Suddenly a baby rabbit came out of the bushes. The hawk saw it and the crow too saw the rabbit.
Before the crow could move, the hawk swooped down, caught hold of the rabbit in his strong sharp talons and flew away. βSwoosh!" was all the crow heard as the hawk disappeared in the sky with his prey. βHmmph! That is no great skill," thought the crow, angrily.
Next moment he spotted a big fat mouse coming out of a hole. Without wasting time, the crow swooped down. Like the hawk he tried to catch the mouse in his claws.
But the mouse saw the crow and moved away, the crow crashed against the hill. βEeeaaa!" cried the crow in pain.
Just then the hawk came flying down. βI hope, now you know it is not easy to hunt and it is not easy to imitate, either," said the hawk and flew away.
There after, the crow never imitated any one in its life. It lived happily with the god-given abilities.
