These are some parables and anecdotes which I came across in last few days. These were inspirational, curious, and historical so I am listing them here.
So, we all know Napolean Bonaparte. He was considered a meteor of the France. A formidable military commander who shook British empire which his confrontational and ambitious imperial policy. He was considered invincible before getting dusted in the battle of Waterloo. It is said that his big strength was his battlefield commanders. They were the fearless fighter. But as goes the story, Napolean used to take a final round of interview with them before deputing them on battlefield. And strangely the question was "Are you lucky? Are you lucky enough to survive and win?" For him the difference between life and death, win or loss, and success and failure was luck. UPSC is the modern day Napolean. The only difference is here the chance is embedded in their admission procedure itself.
Another story belongs to Mozart the musician. He is said to have written his first opera at the age of six years. Once a young kid of age ten or eleven years went Mozart and asked him, How should I write an Opera? Mozart responded back saying 'young man, you ate too young to write an opera so go and write a ballad first". The kid felt offended. He retorted back and said to him "you wrote your first opera at the age of six and you are asking me to go and write a Ballad first". Mozart politely looks into his eyes and said, "my dear, I never had to ask anyone about how to write one". It was a god gift for him. Many people in the society find right mentor, right direction, a right passion so early in their lives. It is definitely a god's gift to be an early bloomer. Most of the great personality of our times have all been like Abhimanyu who learned the chakravyooh trap while he was in mother's womb.
But god gift comes in many forms. Once a kid was given a letter by his teacher which was to be delivered to his mother.The Kid reached home. He gave the letter to his Mother. The mother read the letter and tears welled up in her eyes. She kept the letter in one safe box. The kid asked mother, "What happened, mom? Why are you crying?" The mother said your school authorities have written letter saying that you kid is very extraordinary and our teachers are incompetent to teach him so we request you to not send him to the School from tomorrow. The kid studied at home for rest of his primary and secondary education. Later in life after the death of his Mother, one day he was clearing the Almirah and he found that letter. He opened it. The letter read as following. "Dear Ma'am, Your kid is suffering from addle's syndrome. He is not fit for studies. Thus, we are restricting him from attending classes in the school." The man cried a lot. His name was Thomas alwa Edison, the inventor of the electricity and the bulb. His mother lied to him and taught him herself during those initial years. This is the power of mother's love. The purest thing existing on this earth then it is a mother's love for her child. I remember watching a youtube video where a bull fights a group of lions to save her calf. This is the power of love. And this is also a sort of least appreciated god's gift.
There are few others also. Will keep posting them.
