Just light reading for now
The first thing I would say is before setting up ones mind we need to know what we really want or set a clear goal.
one must be ready for hard work as well to achieve it.
I just have a few words to write on hard work and utilising the opportunities that come our way.
There were 2 stones ready for the sculptor to make it an idol.The sculptor asked both the stones whether they were ready for being made in to an idol.
The sculptor said," I will hit you ,pierce you, polish you and you may be put to various hardship.only with your permission that I can start my work."
Out of the 2 stones one stone agreed to it and the other refused.
so the sculptor started his work and the stone became a beutiful idol .The other stone which refused was seeing with jealousy that the stone was taking a beautiful shape.
The day of kumbabhishekam the idol was given such a royal treatment that all the hardship waded and the stone became a god.The people wanted to break the coconut and saw the other stone and made it coconut breaking stone.
This is life if we are not ready for hardships
