A boy found an eagle’s egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chickens do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew old and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains. “Oh, I wish I could fly like that!” said the eagle. The chicken replied, “Don’t give it another thought. That’s the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!” And the eagle didn’t give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friend, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!
Exactly, same context: You are born Muslim, its the parents who make you Christians and Jews and parsi and Hindu and all sorts of other sects and religious bodies.
I hope you guys are encouraged:).
Here Are two poems that I pasted……….but the sad part…..is no one read it……. :(………
Things to remember
Your presence is a present to the world.
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You'll make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.
Don't put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that a lot ... goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life's treasures are people ... together.
Realize that it's never too late.
Do ordinary things in extraordinary ways.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take the time to wish upon a star.
And don't ever forget...
For even a day...
How very special you are
Honesty
A poor boy walked down the street,
With nothing but a dollar,
When suddenly he looked down,
And gave a great big holler,
He found a hundred dollar bill,
Right there in the street,
A woman had dropped it,
And let it fall to her feet,
Although the boy was poor and cold,
He knew what he should do,
He returned the bill to the woman,
And surprised she said,"Thank you",
"This was a simple test,
To see what goodness you had within,
And you have proven yourself worthy,
Of your reward," she said with a grin,
She told the boy to close his eyes,
And when he looked again,
He saw the hundred dollar bill,
And a feather where the woman had been
One’s beliefs are what one becomes.
