> A Superb Thought for our day to day life in 2012 > There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the > barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. > After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and > enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. > He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded. > Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around > the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the > farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to > him and asked to be given another chance. > The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks > sincere enough." > So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little > boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and > surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had > failed. > The boy replied, "I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the > silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that > direction." > Moral: > A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind. > Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every day, > and see, how sharply it helps you to set your life the way you expect it to > be...!
