When life gets you into trouble, turn to these motivational stories. Not only will reading them be like receiving an "internet hug" for your soul, but they could trigger an idea or a change for the better within you. Read on for the following 5 short life stories and get ready to smile.
1. Everyone has their own story
A 24-year-old boy looking out the train window exclaimed...
"Dad, look at these trees they are moving backwards!"
The father smiled as a young couple sitting nearby watched the boy's behavior with pity.
The boy again exclaimed emphatically:
“Dad, look! The clouds run with us!"
The couple could not resist and told the old man:
"Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?"
The old father smiled and replied...
"I did it and we are just coming back from the hospital, my son was blind from birth and today he has his sight back."
Morality: every person on the planet has their own story. Don't judge someone before you know them completely, the truth may surprise you.
2. Shake off problems
A man's favorite ass fell into a deep hole. The man couldn't get it out, no matter how hard he tried, so he decided to bury it alive.
So he started throwing earth from above, on top of the donkey. The donkey, feeling the weight of the material, shook it off and climbed on it.
More earth was poured. The donkey shook it off and climbed back on it.
The more material was turned over, the higher the animal climbed. Thus, before nightfall, the donkey was already grazing in the green pastures.
Morality: After many bumps and climbs (having faced and overcome problems), sooner or later you will reach the green fields to graze.
3. The Elephant Rope
As a man passed some elephants, he stopped suddenly, confused because these huge creatures were held only by a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. The elephants could have freed themselves from that obstacle at any time, but for some reason they didn't.
Seeing a trainer nearby, he asked why these animals stayed there and never tried to escape. “Well”, answered the trainer, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same rope to tie them up and at that age it is enough. As they grow, they believe that the rope can still hold them, and therefore they never try to break free."
The man was stunned. These animals could at any time have freed themselves from captivity with minimal effort, but since they believed they couldn't, they stayed stuck where they were.
Morality: Like the elephants, how many of us live in the belief that we can't do something simply because we haven't done it before? Failure is part of learning, and in life we ​​should never stop trying.
4. Potatoes, eggs and coffee beans
Once upon a time there was a daughter who complained to her father. She said that her life was unhappy and that she didn't know how to handle it: she was tired of fighting and fighting all the time, she didn't have time to solve one problem that immediately presented another.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and put them on the fire. Once she started to boil, she put the potatoes in one pot, the eggs in another and in the rest she ground the coffee beans.
Then she sat up and let the pots boil over the fire, saying nothing.
The daughter waited anxiously, wondering what he was doing.
After twenty minutes, the chef turned off the stove. He took the potatoes out of the pot and put them in a bowl, took out the hard-boiled eggs and put them on a plate, took the coffee and poured it into a cup.
Turning to the girl, he said, "Daughter, what do you see?"
"Potatoes, eggs and coffee," she answered hastily.
"Look closer," he said, "and touch the potatoes." She did this and noted that they were soft. Then she asked him to take an egg and break it. She, after removing the shell, looked at the hard-boiled egg. Eventually, he asked her to take a sip of the coffee, and the rich aroma from her made him smile.
"Father, what does this mean?" churches
Then his father explained that potatoes, eggs, and coffee beans had all faced the same adversity: boiling water. However, each had reacted differently.
The potato that was initially strong and hard, but in boiling water has become soft and brittle.
The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting the liquid inside, until it was placed in boiling water. Then the contents of the egg hardened.
However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After being exposed to boiling water, they transformed the water and created something new.
"Who are you?" he asked her daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg or a coffee bean?
Morality: in life things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that really matters is what happens inside us.
What are you going to? A potato, an egg or a coffee bean?
5. A cup of ice cream
Back in the days when a bowl of ice cream with a topping cost much less, a 10-year-old would walk into a hotel cafeteria and sit down at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream garnished with cream?"
"50 cents," the waitress replied.
The boy took his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins at his disposal.
"How much does a simple cup of ice cream cost?" churches. Some people were waiting at a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.
"35 cents," he answered abruptly.
The child returned to counting the coins.
"I'll have plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought him ice cream, put the check on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid at the register and left.
When the waitress came back to clean the table, she was very surprised by what she saw.
There, neatly arranged next to the empty cup, was 15 cents: his tip.
