Way to Achieve Goal:

One day master was watching a practice session in courtyard. All students were doing their practices.

Among all those students he noticed that there was one young man who was trying to perfect his technique but he is not able to work on that move properly and it seemed to master that young man was getting disturbed by the presence of other students.

Master could sense that young man’s frustration and went up to young man and tapped on his shoulder.

He questioned to young man, “What’s bothering you?”

Young man replied with strained expression, “I don’t know..I don’t understand why i am not able to execute this move properly. No matter how much i try..”

Master replied, “Listen, before you can master technique, you should understand Harmony. Come with me, i will explain you how you can do that?”

Master and student left building and walked some distance into forest until they reach a stream. After reaching there master and student stood silently on the bank of stream for sometime.

After a while master spoke to young man pointing at the stream, “Look at the stream. See there are rocks in its way, does it slam them out of frustration??”

No.. It will not slam those rocks but instead stream will simply flow around them and move on.. Be like water and you will know what Harmony is..”

Young man understood master’s advise and went back to courtyard to practice his move and this time, he concentrated his focus on move and barely notice other students around him and then he was able to executed the perfect move and master that technique .

Moral:
If we want To Achieve our Goal then we must try to get in Harmony with ourselves and not Let presence of Other people bother Us.

The Blind Girl (Change)

There was a blind girl who hated herself purely for the fact she was blind. The only person she didn't hate was her loving boyfriend, as he was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry him.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her – now she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"

The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:

"Just take care of my eyes dear."

Moral: When our circumstances change, so does our mind. Some people may not be able to see the way things were before, and might not be able to appreciate them. There are many things to take away from this story, not just one.

This is one of the inspirational short stories that left me speechless.

Keep Your Dream

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Isidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, 'See me after class.'

"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, 'Why did I receive an F?'

"The teacher said, 'This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud fees. There's no way you could ever do it.' Then the teacher added, 'If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.'

"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, 'Look, son, you have to make up your own mind
