I had two kids. Each one of them was given a small plot of
land of equal dimensions.
To one of them I and the people around him kept criticizing
and discouraging him daily. We cursed him whenever we could and scolded him for
almost everything he did. Each time someone criticizes him he would dig a small
hole on the plot. Slowly the hole in the plot became larger and larger and it
almost filled his plot fully. Then after that when there was no place to dig
hole anywhere he started to dig his holes deeper and deeper. And a stage reached when he could no longer
had space to stand on his plot, even if he would try to stand somewhere, then
he would slide and fall into the hole , he has created. And after some time he
found that each hole he dug was a hole of ‘doubts’ in his mind. The doubts
slowly consumed his plot (life) and finally he slides into the hole he made and
died. TIME faded his name without leaving without any trace on it.
To the second kid, I and the people around him, always loved,
cared and encouraged him. We tried to correct him whenever he was wrong. I
tried to fill him with love, compassion and all good qualities by showing him.
Each time we was encouraged he would place a small block on his plot. Slowly
the block turned into a small pyramid. With the passage of time the pyramid
grew in size. Years later, the pyramid was so large that he could climb it and
could see the entire whole world around him, as well as the people around him
could see him on top of the pyramid(success). Eventually he too passed away. And time
could only take him away not his pyramid. And that pyramid stood there as a
mark he made on the TIME.
Not that just the food, water, shelter we provide the people but the WORDS (good or
bad) we use for them also matters.. in the long run .
