A story worth reading.
*I want to remember your Face so that when I meet you in Heaven, I will be able to recognize you and Thank you once again -*
In a telephonic interview,
the Radio Announcer
asked his guest,
a millionaire,
"What made you
Happiest in life ?"
The millionaire replied :
I have gone through
four stages of
happiness in my Life.
Finally I understood the
meaning of True Happiness.
The First Stage was
to Accumulate
Wealth and Means.
But at this Stage
I did not get the
happiness I wanted.
Then came the Second
stage of Collecting
Valuables and Items.
But I realized that the
effect of this thing
is also Temporary & the
Lustre of Valuable Things
does not last long.
Then came the
Third Stage of Getting
Big Projects like
buying a football team,
buying a tourist resort etc.
But even here I did not
get the Happiness
I had imagined.
The Fourth time
a Friend of mine
asked me to buy
Wheelchairs for
Disabled Children.
At the friend's request, I immediately bought some Wheelchairs.
But My Friend insisted
that I should go with him and
hand over the Wheelchairs
to the Children myself.
So, I went with him &
gave the Wheel chairs
to those Children
with my own hands.
I saw the Great
Glow of Happiness
on the faces of
those Children.
I saw them all
sitting on the Chairs,
Moving around
and having fun.
It was as if they had
arrived at a Picnic.
But I felt Real Joy
when I started to leave
and one of the Kids
grabbed my leg.
I gently tried to
free my leg - but the
child stared at my face
snd held my leg tightly.
I bent down and
asked the child :
"Do you need
Anything else?"
The answer the child
gave me not only
made me happy
but also changed
my life forever.
The Child said :
"I want to remember
your Face, so that
when I meet you
in Heaven, i will be
able to recognize you
& Thank you once again."

*"THE JOY OF GIVING".*
Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata was once, travelling to Germany. As he stood there, at the door of his First Class Cabin in the Steam-liner, he noticed a lot of activity on the lower decks of the Ship. On enquiring, he learnt that a great Indian Saint Shri Swami Vivekananda was on board the same ship. Out of genuine respect and curiosity J.N. Tata decided to pay a visit to the great saint. Swami Vivekananda had of-course heard about the respected industrialist. As the conversation grew J.N. Tata explained that he was on his way to Germany. "I have with me sacks of soil : From various parts of India. I am taking these samples of soil to Germany. I wish to know if Iron can be extracted profitably from any of these districts." said J.N. Tata to the Saint. To which Swami Vivekananda replied, "Well, Sir, Even if these sacks contain Iron-rich soil, do you honestly believe that the Germans will tell you the TRUTH??? You must understand that No / NONE of the European Nations wish to...
