1. Understanding the value of relationship

A man stopped at a flower shop for ordering some flower to be sent as a gift to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, " I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose cost 2 dollars."


The man smiled and said, " come on with me. I will buy you a rose." He. Bought the little girl arose and ordered his own's mother flowers.

As they were living he offered a girl a ride home. She said, " yes please! You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a fresh dove grave.

2. Have Someone to hold Your hand in your life

Sitting on a beach one summer day, watching two children, a boy, and a girl, playing in the stand. They were hard at work building an elaborate sandcastle 
by the water's edge, with gates and towers and moats and internal passage.

Just when they had nearly finished their project, a big wave came along and knocked it down, reducing it to a heap of wet sand. I expected the children to burst into tears, but devastated by what had happened to all their hard work. But they surprised me, Instead the ran up of the shore way from the water, laughing and hold hands, and sat down to build another castle. I realized that they had taught me an important lesson. 
All the things in our lives, all the complicated structures, we spent so much time and energy creating, are built on sand. Only our relationship to other people endure.


Sooner and later, the wave will come along and knocked down what we have worked so hard to build up. When that happens, only the persons who has somebody hand to hold will be able to laugh...

Make sure you have someone to hold your hands.

The death of their father Dhirubhai in 2002 sparked a battle for control which ultimately lead to the split of the Reliance Group. Their mother brokered a demerger in 2005, which gave Mukesh control of oil and gas, petrochemicals, refining and manuf...
