Social Inspirational stories

1. Helping Others

Once there was a small boy named shankar. He belonged to a poor family. One day, he was crossing through the forest carrying some wood. He saw an of man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food. But, he did not have food of his own. So, he continued on his way. On his way, he saw a deer who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have water for himself.  So he went on his road way.


Then he saw a man who wanted to make a camp but he did not have woods. Shankar asked his problem, and gave some woods to him. In return, he gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food and some water to the deer. The old man and the deer very happy. Shankar then happily on his way. 

However, one day shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he could not move and no one was there to help him. But, the old man who he helped before saw him, he quickly came and pulled him up the hill. He had many wound on his legs. The deer whom shankar had given water saw his wound and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. After sometime his wounds were covered. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. 

Moral : if you help other, then they will also help you.

2. We get back what give to Others

There was a farmer who sold a pounds of butter to the baker. One day, the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him, and he took the farmer to court. 

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, " Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure. But I do have a scale." 

The judge asked, " then how do you weigh the butter?"

The farmer replied, " your honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying pound loaf of bread from him. Everyday when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and gave him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, " it is the baker."

What is the moral of the story on honesty - We get back in life, what we give to others. Whenever you take an action, Ask yourself this question am I giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to make.
Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some people practice dishonesty and can lie with a straight face. Other lie so much that they don't even know what the truth is anymore. But who are they deceiving? Themselves - more than anyone else. 
Honesty can be put across gently. Some people take pride in being brutally honest. It seems they are getting a bigger kick out of brutally then the honesty. Choices of words and tact are important.

Powerful inspirational stories

1. Knowing people who are around you is important During my second month of school, our professor gave up a pop up quiz.   I was a contentious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one :" what is the first name of the woman who clean the school?"  Surely, this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark - haired and in her 50s but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper,leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked If the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely" said the professor. "In your career, you will meet many people. All her significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say " hello". I have never forgotten that lesson. I also spoke to her, learned her name and said "thanks". Always know this - you should remember names of people around yo...

Animal based inspirational stories

1.  The Frog in Hot Water Once the frog fell in a vessel of the hot water. Water was still on a gas stove. The frog still did not try to jump out of the vessel, instead just stayed in it. As the temperature of the water started to rise, the frog managed to adjust its body temperature accordingly. As the water started to reach the boiling point, the frog was no longer able to keep up and manage its body temperature according to the water temperature. The frog tried to jump out of the vessel but with water temperature reaching its boiling point, the frog was not able to bear it and couldn’t make it. What was the reason that a frog couldn’t make it? Will you blame the hot water for it? Moral : The frog couldn’t make it due to its own inability to decide when it had to jump out. We all need to adjust according to the situations but there are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action when we have the strength to do so before it’s too late....
