Why Not Today? (Motivational story)
Once upon a time, a disciple used to respect his Guru very much. The Guru also loved his disciple very much, but that disciple was lazy and temperamental in his studies. Always trying to run away from self-study. Used to do the work of today and leave it for tomorrow. Now Guruji started to get worried that his disciple should not be defeated in the war of life. In the laziness, there is complete ability to make a person stagnant. Such a person wishes to prosper without diligence. He cannot take a quick decision and even if he takes it, he cannot implement it. Even one is not aware of his environment and neither is he proficient in the art of taking advantage of the opportunities provided by luck. He formulated a plan for the welfare of his disciple in his mind. One day, giving a piece of black stone in his hand, Guru Ji said - "I will give you this piece of magical stone, for two days, somewhere." I am going to another village. Any iron item you touch with it will be converted into gold. But remember that after sunset the next day I will take it back from you. "
The disciple was very happy to get this opportunity but being lazy, he spent his first day imagining how happy, happy, prosperous and satisfied he would be when he had lots of gold, so many servants that He will not even have to take water to drink. Then the next day when he woke up in the morning, he remembered very well that today is the second and last day to get the gold. He thought strongly in his mind that today he will definitely take advantage of the black stone given by Guruji. He decided that he would buy big items of iron from the market and bring them into gold. The day passed, but he sat in the same thinking that there is still a lot of time, he will go to the market anytime and get the goods. He thought that now he would go out to take the goods after having lunch. But after eating he had the habit of resting, and he thought it appropriate to rest for a while instead of working hard. But his body, full of laziness, was lost in the depths of sleep, and when he woke up it was near sunset. Now he quickly started running towards the market, but on the way he found Guruji, after seeing him, he fell at his feet, pleading to keep that magical stone one more day but Guruji did not agree and that disciple Dream of being rich was crushed. But this incident led to a huge lesson for the disciple: he regrets his laziness, he realizes that laziness is a curse for his life and vows that he will never steal from work and Will show you as a hard working, alert and active person.
Friends, everyone gets more than one opportunity in life, but many people lose them simply because of their laziness. That's why I want to say that if you want to be successful, happy, lucky, rich or great, then by abandoning laziness and longevity, develop qualities like prudence, painstaking labor, and continuous awareness and whenever someone in your mind If you think of avoiding important work, then ask yourself a question - "Why not today?"
