Motivational stories a mother's love

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said: For cutting the grass: $5.00

For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00

For going to the store for you: $.50

Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25

Taking out the garbage: $1.00

For getting a good report card: $5.00

For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00

Total owed: $14.75

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:

No Charge

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:

No Charge

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years:

No Charge

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:

No Charge

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".

Are you sincere friend?

A friend came to his friend’s door in great trouble, “Could you lend me 1000 Somoni. I have to pay the debt?”

The friend started counting the amount he had saved for the rainy days, but it was not enough. Then he asked his wife to gather together the things they were of value, but still it was not sufficient. After that he borrowed some amount from his neighbors until it was enough to pay.

When he was leaving to lend the amount to his friend, his wife observed tears in his eyes.

“Why are you weepy? I think you are afraid we would not be able to repay the amount to our neighbors.”

“Not likely! I am crying because he is my friend of all weathers. He has spent time with me through thick and thin, even so I had no idea he was in need of money. I only came to know when he came and knocked on my door to ask for money.”

 We should try to listen to unspoken words of our friend. Sometimes they are unable to share their problems. This is why it is said, “If do not understand my silence, you cannot understand my words.”

Wind or sun – who wins?

The North Wind bragged of mighty strength. The Sun interrupted that there was great strength in gentleness.

“Let’s have a contest,” the Sun said.

Far below, a man was travelling a winding road wearing a warm winter coat.

“As a trial of strength,” said the Sun, “Let’s see which of us can take the coat off of that guy.”

“It is all simple for me to remove his coat,” boasted the Wind. The Wind blew so hard, the birds held the trees tightly. The world was filled with dust and leaves. But the harder the wind blew down, the tighter the shivering man seized to his coat.

Then, the Sun appeared from behind a cloud. Sun warmed the air and the icy ground. The man on the road unbuttoned his coat.

The sun grew calmly brighter and brighter.

Before long the man felt so hot, he removed his coat and sat under a green try.

“How did you do that?” said the Wind.

“It was easy,” said the Sun, “I lit the day. Through gentleness I got my way.
