THE SUNRISE AND THE GARBAGE...
I was walking alone in morning... The sun was about to rise up!
I was highly tensed and depressed. I left my home because I never wanted to miss this job opportunity. I always dreamed of being independent and live my life my way.
I left my home & got the job but only after a month, I was fired from the company. I lost my job, I lost my family's support, I actually lost everything with which I could survive.
I was walking... I suddenly saw 2 kids playing with the garbage. They were trying to flutter empty polybags in air, they were making paper balls from wrappers and were throwing those paper balls on each other. I was surprised to see this. I went there, and asked those kids very rudely & cunningly... "Why are you playing with this garbage? Don't you know how unhygienic it is? How can you enjoy playing with the garbage stuff?
Both of them were smiling! I got very angry and rebuked them. I said why are you smiling?
One of them smiled & said...
We don't have expensive toys to play with. Someday we get food to eat and someday we sleep hungry. We actually don't have anything to survive with but we don't want to quit, we don't want to sit and cry. We don't want to die before we die. We want to travel the whole world, and we brothers strongly believe that one day we brothers will be earning sufficient money. And so, we are smiling because we are happy with whatever we have. We have legs to walk, we have hands to do hardwork, we have eyes to see this beautiful world, and above all we have that smiling feature enabled in us by God. We people have thousands of reasons to cry and just one reason to smile. So, why choose those thousand reasons to cry and why not choose that one reason to smile?
The difference between you and us is...
you look at your mistakes, you look at what bad happened in your life today, yesterday and the day before yesterday and we two brothers always look for the good things we can do and we just feel every moment. We never waste a single moment in crying unless and until we get injured.
We enjoy and thanks God everyday for making us humans and we smile always... No matter whatever the situation is!
I hugged both the kids, smiled and moved forward. Those two boys taught me a big lesson that day. I realized that I was not fighting for my life. I was going to quit and that's what the easiest thing a person can do. That day, I decided to work hard from the same day so that I can also thanks God everyday for giving me this wonderful life of a human being where there are several roller coaster rides and a lot of ups and downs. I decided to enjoy these roller coaster rides instead of backing off and sit like losers, wasting my time in crying.
I looked around, I saw the beautiful sunrise that day... Cool winds were blowing that morning, making my hair float in air. Sun was more brighter than always that day, I was also glowing more than always because that day I learned to smile in the toughest situations. I closed my eyes, took a deep breathe, smiled and decided to restart my life.
