A small signal is enough for an intelligent person!

It is said that the toddlers have big eyes and small ears. They hear not what we tell them to do but they do what they see us doing. Once an eight year old boy kissed a girl in his neighborhood and his parents scolded him inside and out. The boy was totally confused as to what was wrong with it. When he was born, there was a beautiful painting of hillside view in his house with a boy kissing a girl. Every day he used to watch the picture and witness the guests praising its beauty. He started kissing the guests to which everyone replied "how cute". And unknown to him was that innocent kiss for which he got the scolding now. It took great struggle for him to accept the reality. Now whose mistake it was, the child's mistake or the parents'? Imagine if a picture does this much, how much problems the mobile and television can create! It is said that a small signal is enough for an intelligent person. Take care of little angels. All the best!

We are fully dependent on our mother for everything - beginning with bodily needs like milk to emotional needs like affection.  Gradually we grow up and we find our playmates as our lovable objects. We try to remain out of our home, and wish to play with them always. The same mother whom we loved the most now looks like an enemy as she does not allow us to play with our friends, and we just can't understand - Why she always call me back while playing?

A lesson for a bike lover.

Once a son, who just turned eighteen, asked his father that he wishes to purchase a new bike. The father replied him to carry on. The son reluctantly asked for the money to which the father replied, "I can not give you the money but I can guide you how to get the money". On further request the father explained, "you can save 50 Rupees everyday from your pocket money for the bike, and the day you are not able to I will help you". The son began to save the money and soon after saving his pocket money for few months he was able to gather the amount needed to purchase the bike he was dreaming about. With his father's permission he excitedly left to buy a new one. To his father's joy, the son returned back with a decent quality second hand bike instead of a new one and saved more than half of his collections. What made him do that?
