क्लास टीचर का सबक

एक बार एक student जल्दबाजी में अपनी सीट पर पहुंचने के चक्कर में दूसरे student से टकरा गया| दूसरा student बोतल से पानी पी रहा था तो धक्का लगने की वजह से पानी उसकी कमीज पर गिर गया और उसकी कमीज गीली हो गई|

दूसरा student पहले student पर चिल्लाया, देख कर नहीं चल सकते क्या अंधे?

पहले student ने विनम्रता से जवाब देते हुए:- कहा माफ करना गलती से लग गया|

लेकिन पहला student जितनी विनम्रता से माफी मांग रहा था दूसरा student उस पर उतना ही भड़क रहा था| पूरा class यह सब देख रहा था|

तभी class teacher क्लास रूम में आती हैं और उनका गुस्सा शांत कराकर उनको अपनी अपनी सीटों पर बैठा देती है|

टीचर उनको एक ज्ञान की बात सुनाती है:-

एक बार एक मीटिंग में 2 लोग हिस्सा लेने गए हुए थे| दोनों के हाथ में गर्म चाय से भरे हुए कप थे| किसी वजह से दोनों एक दूसरे से टकरा गए और गर्म चाय से भरे हुए कप एक दूसरे के ऊपर छलक गए|

दोनों लोगों में बहस शुरू हो गई और मामला इतना serious हो गया कि पुलिस बुलानी पड़ गई और उन दोनों को जेल हो गई|

टीचर बोली असल में कप उनका मन था जिसमें गर्म गर्म चाय यानी गुस्से वाले भाव भरे हुए थे| जैसे ही दोनों में टकराव हुआ दोनों के मन के भाव यानी गुस्सा जिसे हम चाय कह रहे हैं, एक दूसरे पर बरस पड़े और दोनों में झड़प हो गई|

हम सबके साथ हमारा कप हमेशा होता है| उसमें चाय भरेंगे तो चाय ही गिरेगी ना| अगर ठंडा पानी भरेंगे तो ठंडा पानी गिरेगा| तो अब आप लोग ही तय करिए कि आपको अपने कप में क्या भरना है|

सीख:-

जैसे हमारे विचार होते हैं ठीक वैसा ही हमारा व्यवहार होता है

Deepa - You reduced me to tears

Very nice n touching!

A girl by name Deepa went to school in the neighbouring village where she wasn't known well.

For three weeks, she came to school late and every time the teacher punished her.

In the fourth week, Deepa didn't attend school at all and many thought she had GIVEN UP on school due to the everyday punishment.

However, Deepa reported again in fifth week and this time she came earlier than everybody.

When the teacher came to class, Deepa was punished for not attending school the previous week but the teacher was also kind enough to commend her for coming early that day, stating that the punishments had finally yielded some results.

Just then, Deepa  asked if she could say something and the teacher gave her permission.

She started :

" I've been raised up by a single mother without a brother or a sister. Five weeks ago, my mother fell ill and was hospitalized. The three weeks I came late, I had to prepare something for her every morning and pass by the hospital to deliver the same. Unfortunately, my mother passed away last week and that's the reason I didn't come to school. We buried her last Friday. Today I came early since I didn't have to prepare anything or even pass by the hospital. And now that she is gone, I will always be here early''

As she sat down, no one in the whole class was able to hold their tears, the teacher was not spared either.

Lesson -

How many times do we judge others for things we know not ?

We ask questions like :

- Why are you not getting married ?
- Why are you not having kids ?
- When will you find a job ?
- When will you buy a car ?
- When will you build a house ?
etc....

- Do we attempt to understand their situations or do we just judge from the case scenarios ?

Some situations are not relative and what we think could be very far from the truth.

Don't assume,  you know what others go through or that people move in the same pace or direction as you.

Life is far from that _

Just be kind enough to:
- love one another as God  has commanded - take time and kindly find out
        - why your friend is not phoning,
        - why your messages are not being    replied promptly,
         - why someone is missing in our       midst as a colleague, friend, brother or sister even why someone is always late.

Be kind, I have learnt a lesson.
