Once there lived an old man in a kingdom(It is a story of that time when all transactions were mostly done by gold,silver and copper coins). He would earn money by selling vegetables. When he wasn't selling vegetables, he would pray to god in the remaining time. He had one speciality - he would take any kind of duplicate coins with love which any of his customers give him and give them vegetables. That way he lived his life. When he felt that his death was near he prayed to god " Almighty God! In my whole life i hadn't given back any wrong (duplicate) coin. Today i - a wrong coin- am coming to your court. Please accept me!" With that last sentence he passed away. (A story read somewhere)

Once there was a very rich man. But even if he had everything his mind was not at peace. He couldn't sleep at the night. One night he was walking in the balcony of his house because he wasn't able to sleep. During walking he saw down. He saw a fakir sleeping near the road by putting his head on his hand. The rich man was shocked. He couldn't understand how a beggar without any pillow, without anything to cover his body, without any carpet but he is in deep sleep!
At morning he invited the fakir in his house and gave his good hospitality. The rich man asked " Seeing you sleeping near the road i was very shocked. What fortune you have got to have such deep sleep?"
The fakir replied " The god has given gold to you like that he has given sleep to me."(A story read somewhere)

The great philosopher of Greece, Socrates was listening to the conversation between four young men with full concentration while being silent. This four young men were discussing what they want to become in the future. The first young man said "I want to study science very hard so that i can become a great scientist. I want to get prestige as a great scientist." The second young man said " I don't want to become a scientist. I want to become a great literary person. In the world people praise my literature is my ambition. To fulfill my ambition i am ready to work hard. " The third young man said " I don't want to become scientist or literary person. I want to become a great philosopher. To become a philosopher i will study all the books of philosophy day-night."
Socrates became very curious about what would the fourth young will say. The fourth young man said" I don't want to become scientist or literary person. I also don't have any ambition to become a philosopher. I want to become "human". Other than that i don't have any desire." Hearing this Socrates stood up and patted the fourth young man's back and said " You have uttered a great truth! It is easy to become a scientist, writer or philosopher but to become a "human" is very hard. Only the person who has become "human" has truly succeeded his/her human life. It is the greatest tragedy for human that he/she can do many things but he/she can't live as a "human"." (A story read somewhere)

    To meet his uncle - one of the great scholars of Europe Herbert, Herbert's nephew who was a graduate of Oxford university came to his home. He went directly to the study room to meet his uncle but Herbert wasn't there. Someone told him that Herbert was working in the farm. The nephew was very surprised and shocked because he couldn't even imagine a great scholar like his uncle would work in the farm like a labourer. He quickly went to the farm. There he saw that his uncle's clothes were fully covered in dust and even his hands and legs were full of dust. The nephew said " Uncle, what are you doing? You are a great scholar and you are doing this kind of labour! In Oxford university students and lecturers gain new knowledge by reading your books and you are doing this kind of labour! How can you do this? A scholar reads book, critically evaluates book, create a book or gives speech of informative knowledge but why are you doing this kind of labour? "
    Herbert looked towards his nephew and said " Nephew, you indeed have studied but it seems that you do not have gained the true knowledge! How much greatness the true education or the true learning has that much greatness labour also has. Scholar shouldn't become too prideful of himself/herself because of their learning's. Like that labourer shouldn't feel ashamed by thinking labour as cheap. Which learning or knowledge teaches that one task is high or great and other task is low or inferior that isn't true learning or true knowledge. " (A story read somewhere)

      There is always a person who plays a big role in a company's development who has the imagination power. When imagination becomes reality only then the company will develop. Therefore many company give big attractive commission and salary to the people who have imagination power. At one time one of the most rich people, Henry Ford lived in America. He made Ford motors famous throughout the world. And Ford motors gained highest respect in the business world. Henry Ford had the skill to know the imagination power of people. One time he appointed a man with higher salary in his company. After some time a personal friend of him came to meet him in his office. After some talk the friend said " I don't understand one thing !" Henry asked " Which thing ?" The friend said " The employee whom you have newly appointed with high salary doesn't do anything. When i came here, he was sitting near the window and seeing out of the window. You are wasting your money. If you are giving him money then he should do work. " Henry Ford said " It is your misunderstanding that i have done a big mistake by appointing him. That man has so much great power of thinking new ideas that if even one idea of his becomes reality than the development rate of the company will have a big increase. If you have that kind of power of imagination then i would appoint you with high salary in my company right now. " (A story read somewhere)

        Aisia Sigh, if I could've, I would've.
        Still, no worries, even if severely crippled, this broken laptop still has a few breaths of life within it.

          zen_agni wow, good to know Pythagorus came from humble origins.
          where would we be if we are without the Pythagorean theorem.

              Miya Yes i agree. Performance is very important. And sometime we can't perfom well. The way we imagine things is also important. Before Newton many people had seen apples fall down from the trees but why only he thought about it very deeply and gave the theory of gravitation? It was his imagination power. Newton said "What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean." There is much more to imagine. Albert Einstein said " Imagination is more important than knowledge. " Like that our hardwork or labour is also as important as knowledge. This is my personal opinion and i may be wrong.
              PS. Einstein also said " The hardest thing to understand in the world is income tax. " 😁

                        A boy and a girl were in love for a long time. The boy loved the girl very much. They had traveled together many times. But the boy felt that the girl wanted to tell him something but she wouldn't say it.
                        One day they both went on a long drive. The girl was completely quiet during the whole drive and the boy hadn't had any courage to start talking. After some time he parked the car on the side of the highway. Then he gave a letter to the girl. The girl put the letter in her purse and said " I will read it at home. "
                        The boy said " Do you want to tell me something? I think you wanted to tell me something but you couldn't say it since last some days. Please tell me what it is? "
                        The girl became startled and said " I... i... wanted to tell that i... i mean, i don't think we can stay together now. I think i don't love you therefore we should go on our own separate ways. " Then the girl went out of the car.
                        The boy froze. He went out of the car to talk with the girl. When he opened the door, a fast car going from the side collided with him. And at that place he died.
                        After some days of his death the girl remembered that the boy had given her a letter which was in her purse. She took out the letter from her purse. The dead boy had written " Dear! I love you very much. I think that when i would know that you don't love me, it would be the last day of my life because i think that i can not live without you!"(A story read somewhere)
