Whenever you see the group of swans flying in the sky in V shape,
you might think why they fly in a particular shape? Earlier no body
knew the reason for this shape. Now the science has solved this
mystery.
Whenever any swan open and moves his wings to take a fly, this helps
the other swan to take up the flight. Like this when the entire group fly
in a V shape the efficiency of the speed goes up by 71% as compare
to the speed of one single swan.
This is why the intelligent swans fly in V shape. If any swan tries to
get away from that shape, he starts feeling the stress and resistance,
so he dont fly alone. Hence, this swan set back to his own group to
take the benefit of group synergy.
When the leader of the group gets tried, he comes back by folding his
wings and another swan takes the place of the leader. They also make
a particular sound while flying as to motivate the swans flying in the
front. When some one gets hurt or not well, he start to fall out from
the group, to help him immediately other two swans also leaves the
group and come down with him. They stay with him till he recovers
back or he dies. Then, go back to their group or join some other group
in the sky.
MORALE:
THE NATURE HAS GIVEN INTELLEGENCE TO THESE SWANS. WE
SHOULD LEARN THE TEAM WORK, POWER OF UNION AND
ONENESS FROM THEM.

THE TARGET
There is martial art in Japan. We call it ZEN. In the ZEN Literature the
teacher is known as ZEN Master. This story is also linked to the
same. A very young student of martial art approached his ZEN Master.
He had an eagerness know how soon he will be an expert of this
martial art. He asked his master, If I will work with full concentration
how fast can I also become ZEN Master? The ZEN Master thought for
a moment as to why this boy is asking such a question and soon he
understood the motive behind. He answered after a well thought, Ten
years.
The boy thought this period is too long. There should be solution to
reduce this time period. So he again asked, If I work very hard and try
to learn very fast, then how much time will it take?
ZEN Master smiled. Twenty years. The boy was surprised to see the
increasing period. He posed the question again with more force, If I
really work hard, day and night, then how much time will it take? ZEN
Master became little serious and replied, Thirty years.
Thirty years. The boy got disappointed after listening to it. He asked
ZEN Master, But sir, I fail to understand, why the time period is
increasing even if I am ready to put in more hard work and effort?
Then ZEN Master replied with a smile, Son, your one eye is still on the
achievement of the target. And you will be only working with your one
eye.

THE PROMISE OF AN OX
There lived a very poor Brahmin. He got one calf in gift. After few years it
grew up to in a strong ox. The Brahmin had no family. He was also very old
now and he use to think that he will die in this poor state only. One day this
ox said to his owner, Sir! You have brought me up like your own son. I have
not done anything for you. Now, I would like to do something for you that
bring you some money.
The Brahmin wondered, still he asked, How it is possible? The ox said,
Sir! You tell all the villagers that I can drag a Bullock Cart loaded with 100
bags of 40 Kgs each. You bet with them. Put a bet of Rs 10 against Rs1. Tell
them that they if get 10 rupees against each one rupees if I could not drag
the bullock cart. Nobody will believe you. But I promise that you will win the
bet and become rich. Brahmin became very happy and he announced at all
places. The villagers could not believe that an ox can pull such a weight. So,
the villagers agreed to bet immediately.
The day of bet arrived. 100 bags of loaded rice were stocked in the Bullock
Cart. The poor ox kept trying and trying but the bullock cart did not move an
inch. The Brahmin started to curse and abuse the ox. The ox became sad.
Brahmin lost the bet and he has to give away all possessions he had. Looking
at the condition of his master ox had tears in his eyes. The Brahmin shouted
at ox, Why are you crying now. Its me who should cry.
The ox said, Sir! You did not behaved well with me. You shouted at me. I was
about to pull the bullock cart but you started to abuse me. Thats why I am
crying. After listening to your harsh words I lost my courage and we lost the
bet. Brahmin immediately realized his mistake. Then the ox said, Believe
me sir. This time I will pull the Bullock Cart loaded with 200 bags of 40 Kgs
each. You bet with the villagers. Put a bet of Rs 20 against Rs1. After lots of
thought, the Brahmin agreed to take the biggest risk in his life to bet.
Villagers thought that this Brahmin has gone mad and yet they agreed to bet
again.
Next Sunday the crowd gathered. 200 bags of loaded rice were stocked in the
Bullock Cart. The ox tried hard to pull the bullock cart. Even after 5 minutes
of try he could not move the bullock cart. Villagers thought that again this
Brahmin would loose the bet. Now the Brahmin went near to his ox and said,
Son! This is a tuff job, but I have full faith on you that you can do it. Try once
more.
After listening to such words of praise and faith the ox tried once more with
all his energy and the much-awaited amazement happened, the bullock cart
started to move. Everybody was surprised. Brahmin won the bet and became
very rich in few moments.

behavior of his son. He did not wanted to waste his hard earned money
like this. The boy went to his room.

watched television. When his anger vanished, he thought about his son
and his dialogue that they had today. He wondered that my son dont
ever ask for any money, it might be something very important.
So he went to his sons room. His son was reading a book in his bed.
The father sat beside him and gave 100 rupees that he demanded. The
son thanked him and took out few notes under his pillow. He counted
the money and gave it to his father. He said, Father, here are 200
rupees for you, now can I take you one hour.

inside the train. He did not have experience of holding and carrying the
luggage so he felt the pain in doing that but he managed it somehow.
The old man gave him a rupee coin. He took that money and reached
his home. His father was waiting for him. He asked Chander, have
you earned something today?
Chander showed the coin to him. Again his father asked him to throw
the coin in the well. This time Chander resisted doing so. He said, Do
you know with so much of effort I have earned this money. And you are
asking me to throw it in a well. Why should I throw my hard earned

THE DIFFERENCE
Once upon a time, there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean
to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he
began his work. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he saw a
human figure moving like a dancer. As he got closer, he noticed that
the figure was that of a young man. The young man was reaching
down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into
the ocean.
He came closer still and called out 'Good morning! May I ask what it is
that you are doing?'
The young man paused, looked up, and replied 'Throwing starfish into
the ocean.'
'I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?
Asked the somewhat startled wise man.
He answered. Because if I dont, theyre going to die.
But there are thousands of starfish. Youre not going to make much of
a difference to all these starfish.. The Writer said.
The young man looked up at him, stooped down again to pick up
another starfish and, gently but quickly, flung it back into the ocean.
Its going to make a big difference to that one! he replied.
