Life is beautiful....

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me. "Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us." "Son," said the father,
"you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son.

They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg. The parents in this story are like many of us.

We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.

When we say no for others, often we don’t know whom we are saying no, and the consequences of that. People say life is not fair, but all my life the one important lesson I learnt from my own experience and from looking at others life, “ life is fair, Life treats you the same way as you treat others life”. But biggest problem with life is it disguises a lot. It gives blessings wrapped in problems and problems wrapped in happiness. Another fact of life is it won’t let you alone in problem, it sends guide in terms of friends. I remember the first class of our “management communication module”, professor said one thing; “Make your friends before you need them”.
When somebody asks for friendship, biggest mistake you can do is saying no. Accepted, it takes time to become good friends, but we should not forget that we are not making friends, life is sending them to us, Either you may require them at some point of time or they may require you, when you say no, either you are loosing a chance to be with a person when he needs you or you would be alone in times of problem. Never know what the future is. Never take too long to make friends. When people enter your life, allow them to enter because there is a reason for it. Have faith that they are not going to screw you up, and your faith will stop them from screwing up. If you dint allowed them to become your friends, today you may have many very good friends, but when the time comes, you will be requiring that exact person whom you said no. You may not even find them when you need them, because they might have been destroyed because you dint helped them. Friends come and go in your life, no one will be there forever. And one or two friends are not sufficient in life. Just like you require different resource to do a work, you need many friends to deal with life.
Bottom line is never say no to friendship, because life is fair and it is sending an angel to support you for the problem which you are going to face in your life. Believe in life, whatever happens, happens for good. Don’t try to control your life, let it go, then you will see how beautiful life is…….

Think over it……
